The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 267

Weston had always doted on Citrine. The moment he heard her speak up for Travis, most of his anger melted away.

Citrine, of course, understood this perfectly.

She strolled over and sat down in front of Weston as if she belonged there, her eyes bright with an easy smile. “Grandpa, Travis really loves gaming. Besides, he’s already good enough to get into college now. Why not let him do what he enjoys? People are only truly happy when they follow their passions.”

Weston’s stern face softened a little at her words.

Citrine shot a quick glance at Travis before continuing, “I believe in him. I know he’ll make something of himself.”

Weston knew exactly what this girl was up to, but he was helpless against her. In the end, he grudgingly nodded.

“Hmph. I’ll give him three years. If he can’t achieve something in that time, he’ll come back and learn to run the family business. No arguments.”

As soon as Weston relented, hope flickered in Travis’s eyes.

He promised eagerly, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll prove myself, I swear.”

Weston’s expression remained stern as he fixed Travis with a hard look—very different from the gentle tone he’d used with Citrine. “Remember this, Travis. No matter what we do, the Carmichaels always strive to be the best. If you can’t make a name for yourself, then don’t go around telling people you’re a Carmichael. I won’t stand for that kind of embarrassment.”

“Yes, Grandpa,” Travis replied, nodding earnestly.

The championship match was set for the end of November, right as the school began its review period for finals.

But just then, a problem arose: one of the players Travis had recruited for his team suddenly dropped out, unable to withstand the pressure from his parents.

With only four players left, they didn’t have enough people to compete.
