The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 525

Scales hadn't come here to rescue Kali. From the very beginning, his only goal was to retrieve the unfinished NecroBlitz Tablets that had yet to be fully

developed.

But now, he'd changed his mind.

After all these years, if he still hadn't managed to complete the NecroBlitz Tablets, maybe it was time to let go. And since he'd already made an enemy of President Vesper, what difference did it make if he went all in?

This whole mess was Kali's doing. She should be the one to take responsibility for

it.

Sebastian remained silent, but the flicker in his eyes betrayed the turmoil

simmering within. He stared hard at Citrine, who wore a knowing, almost amused expression, as if she'd predicted everything would play out exactly like this. Her earlier move to raise the price-he realized now-had been a ploy to set him up as the fall guy.

Unbelievable. She'd played him, and it was the first time in years he'd been caught off guard like this.
