The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 639

Raymond's face was set in stone as he turned to leave, but just then, Clifford and Norton stepped forward.

Norton spoke first. "Mr. Carmichael, we just want to know how Citrine is doing. That's all."

Clifford chimed in, his voice anxious. "Please, sir. We're both worried about her. We just want to know if she's all right."

The two of them looked at Raymond with pleading eyes, their tone humble, almost desperate, as if they wouldn't leave without an answer.

Raymond's stomach churned with disgust as he looked at them. In his last life, it was Citrine who had saved these two ingrates, yet they had always treated Jeanette like a beloved little sister and hurt Citrine time and again, all for Jeanette's sake.

There wasn't a single decent person in the Iverson family.

Raymond's stare was icy as he said, "Get out. You don't deserve to see Citrine."

Without another word, he signaled for security to throw them out.

The three men-father and sons-stood outside, looking ashen and utterly defeated, like the wind had been knocked right out of them.
