The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 699

Boom!

Theo felt as if his chest were about to explode.

All his life—whether in the past or this one-he'd believed the girl who saved him as a child had been Jeanette.

In his previous life, desperate to repay Jeanette's supposed kindness, he'd even gone so far as to conspire with the Iversons to steal her kidney. That wasn't all. He'd done countless things to hurt Citrine-so many that he didn't even dare think about them now.

God, what kind of monster had he become?

Theo's eyes turned bloodshot. Suddenly, he looked up and glared at Jeanette as if he could burn right through her. "You lying witch. How dare you deceive me?"

He stormed forward and wrapped his hands around Jeanette's neck, squeezing hard.

"I'll kill you,” he growled, his grip tightening, veins bulging in his arms. In that moment, he looked completely unhinged.
