The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 702

Chapter 702

Quentin had never expected Citrine to actually strike him. The sudden blow caught him completely off guard; pain shot through his arm, and he clutched it for a long moment, trying to recover.

By the time he looked up again, Citrine had already vanished.

A few days later, the staff at Citrine's detective agency reported that Jeanette and Theo had had a falling out, and now Jeanette had been booted from the Aldridge family home at Quentin's command.

After being thrown out, Jeanette tried desperately to reach Aline, calling again and again, but days passed with no luck, and the money in her pockets was running dangerously low.

When Citrine heard the news, she sat in her office, the corners of her lips curving into a faint, satisfied smile.
