The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 668

Theo raised his hand, his expression earnest and solemn. "Citrine, whatever I did wrong in my past life, I swear I'll make it up to you this time. I promise, I'll treat you right."

Hearing this, Citrine couldn't help but laugh in disbelief, the sound sharp with anger.

So he remembers the past, does he? Then he shouldn't have forgotten what he did. The nerve he had, standing here and making these promises as if nothing happened it was nauseating.
