The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 622

As Sue recalled the past, her face was clouded with resentment. But when she spoke of Citrine, her tone shifted-pride and gratitude were unmistakable in her voice.

Raymond's heart softened instantly.

His precious daughter was simply too kind for her own good.

When Sue mentioned the company chairwoman's uncertain fate, her voice caught, and she dabbed at her nose, fighting back tears. "The chairwoman saved my life. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today. Over the past year, she's offered me so much guidance. Without her help, there's no way I could have gone from just an ordinary nurse to head nurse in such a short time."

Something flickered in Raymond's eyes as he listened to Sue's words. He seemed to be putting pieces together.

How could it just be coincidence?

Sue happened to lose her job, and Citrine just happened to give her a spot at the Medical Research Center.

His suspicions felt all but confirmed now.
