The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 633

Everyone said Citrine was hopelessly in love with him, that she'd do anything just to stay by his side.

Theo believed this too, which only made him more brazen.

He started joining forces with the Iversons to criticize Citrine, and in a twisted gesture of gratitude for Jeanette saving his life years ago, he even tried to persuade Citrine to donate a kidney to Jeanette.

He never realized that this would be the final straw that broke whatever was left between them.

That day, Citrine was the one who asked for a breakup.

When Theo heard those words, he could hardly believe it. She was supposed to be obsessed with him-how could she be the one leaving?

For the first time, fear crept into his heart.

Of course, he didn't agree to the breakup. Instead, they decided on a so-called "temporary separation."

Theo thought she was just throwing a tantrum. But no matter how he pleaded, Citrine wouldn't budge. She was resolute, determined to move out, and that night she packed up every last thing and walked out of his apartment without looking back.

Theo was left feeling scared and furious.

He drank himself sick that night, and in a haze, promised the Iversons he would get Citrine's kidney for Jeanette.

A few days later, Theo tricked Citrine into coming to the Glenwood Group hospital, claiming he'd been injured.

He ordered the doctor to prep her for surgery.
