The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 326

Everyone knew that landing a license from CICI Group was a guaranteed win. There was no way to lose.

Raymond had no idea why such a golden opportunity had landed in his lap, but he figured it probably had something to do with Citrine.

Since this was something Citrine wanted him to have, he really couldn't refuse. “Thank you, Citrine—and please thank your friend for me too.”

On Sunday, Citrine had planned to catch a movie with a few of her roommates when her phone suddenly buzzed. It was Carlotta.

Carlotta’s voice was hoarse, edged with panic. “Citrine, my brother and I had an argument, and he ran off to Crestwood. He’s probably almost at the airport by now. Could you pick him up? I’m stuck at Havencrest and can’t leave.”

“He’s not in great shape, and I’m worried about him being on his own.”

Carlotta and her brother had always depended on each other. They were all the family either of them had. Right now, besides Citrine, Carlotta honestly had no one else to turn to.

Citrine tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, I’m on my way now.”

Carlotta’s voice trembled. “Thank you, Citrine. I really don’t know who else I could call.”

“You don’t need to thank me,” Citrine replied after a pause.

“Carlotta, you know we’re not just colleagues—we’re friends.”

On the other end of the line, Carlotta felt her chest tighten with relief. Tears welled up and finally spilled over.

After hanging up, Citrine hurried home to the spacious condo Raymond had bought for her. She headed down to the garage, picked a car at random, and drove off.

A little over ten minutes later, she pulled up at the airport.
