The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 800

Despite Citrine and Sebastian Vesper's sharpshooting-having taken down quite a few of their enemies the opposition's sheer numbers tipped the balance in their favor.

Dodging bullets and firing back, Citrine and Sebastian were too busy to notice the black barrel protruding from the window of a nearby dark sedan.

The gun leveled at Citrine.

A bullet tore through the air in an instant.

"Get down!" Sebastian's voice was raw with panic as he glanced up, eyes wild.

He didn't hesitate. In a split second, he lunged in front of Citrine.

The bullet punched through his shoulder.

"Sebastian!" Citrine's face drained of color.

Watching him collapse before her, rage surged in Citrine's chest, white-hot and blinding.

Without a second thought, she raised her pistol, aiming straight at the man in the

car.

A shot rang out, and blood sprayed across the car's interior.
