The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 713

The eldest son of the Saunders family is truly something else-back in the day, he was every bit as brilliant as Hilda, the current head of the family.

"I heard he started his own company overseas. It's called The G Group, and word is, they're doing incredibly well-assets in the billions."

"So why would he suddenly come back now?"

"Maybe it's about C. Corp?"

"Didn't Hilda announce recently that Citrine would be her sole heir, and that she'd pass the entire Saunders estate to her? Do you think Gorman came back because of that?"

"It makes sense. The Saunders fortune is no small thing, and Gorman's the only one in the family with a real head for business. He's got just as much right to fight for the inheritance as anyone."

...

As the group gossiped, Hilda happened to walk by. She caught every word.

She glanced at her daughter first, and seeing that there was no trace of emotion on Citrine's face, Hilda turned her gaze to the group that had been talking.

With a cool expression, she called them over and said firmly, "I believe I made myself clear last time-the Saunders heir is Citrine. There will be no discussion."

By now, Hilda understood her daughter well.
