The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 632

Theo had never met a woman as difficult as Citrine.

Rather than discouraging him, her resistance only stoked his desire to win her

over.

But the more persistent Theo became, the more Citrine detested him.

She decided to confront him head-on. "Mr. Glenwood, you're wasting your time," she said bluntly. "Men like you are exactly the type I can't stand. I don't care what your motives are, but I'm warning you keep your distance."

It was the first time anyone had loathed him so openly. Strangely, Theo found it amusing. Instead of backing off, he became even more determined.

Yet Citrine's attitude remained icy.

One afternoon, a commotion broke out by the indoor pool. Citrine was surrounded by a crowd, voices rising in heated argument. In the chaos, both she and Jeanette ended up tumbling into the water.

Theo didn't hesitate for a second-he dove straight in.

All around, people shouted Jeanette's name. The Iverson brothers, without a moment's thought, jumped in after her too.
