The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 258

The restaurant was empty now, save for Amelia Lawson and Citrine.

“Serves him right,” Amelia muttered, rolling her eyes as she watched Clifford’s retreating figure. “Honestly, watching those two siblings tear into each other was the most satisfying thing I’ve seen all week. I swear, it was almost therapeutic.”

Citrine didn’t say anything, but the look in her eyes said enough—she was in a remarkably good mood.

After leaving the restaurant, Clifford went straight to find Jeanette.

He refused to believe what she’d said earlier was true.

The classroom was nearly deserted when Clifford arrived. He quickly called Jeanette out, and the two of them made their way up to the school’s rooftop.

Once, these two siblings had been close. Now, standing face to face, neither of them spoke.

Clifford waited for Jeanette to explain. Jeanette waited for Clifford to get whatever he needed to say over with.

But Clifford just stood there, silent. Finally, Jeanette’s patience ran thin. She frowned, her voice clipped. “If you have something to say, say it quickly. It’s not a good look for people to see us together up here.”

As she spoke, her eyes darted anxiously around, as if expecting someone to appear at any moment and catch them.
