The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 413

Kali’s face froze, but she refused to give up. With big, pleading eyes, she looked at Hastings. “Hastings, have you forgotten? You used to take care of this for me.”

Hastings’ expression darkened. His voice was cold and sharp. “Kali, that’s enough.”

Clutching her stomach and putting on an exaggerated show of pain, Kali shot a glance at Citrine before turning back to Hastings. “But Hastings, my stomach really hurts.”

She’d been his little sister since childhood; after a moment’s hesitation, Hastings finally gave in.

He looked over at Citrine, clearly uncomfortable. “Citrine, I’m going to run out and grab something for Kali. Could you wait here for me?”

“I knew you’d always look after me, Hastings,” Kali beamed, shooting Citrine a triumphant glance—her smugness barely concealed.

Citrine sat silently to the side, listening to the two of them. Her face betrayed nothing, but when she caught the victorious glint in Kali’s eye, she curled her lips in a disdainful smirk.

Idiot. As if Hastings means anything to me. Does she really think this would bother me?

Let’s be honest—even if Hastings bought her tampons or changed them himself, Citrine couldn’t care less.

Kali kept clutching her stomach and whining in pain, and Hastings started to grow anxious. Not bothering to wait for Citrine’s response, he hurried out the door.

Citrine didn’t spare him so much as a glance.

Once he left, the private lounge was reduced to just Citrine and Kali.

Kali immediately dropped the act. She stood up, looming over Citrine, her voice dripping with satisfaction. “See? Hastings has always cared for me most. He’s even willing to buy my tampons.”

Citrine arched an eyebrow and delivered her words with biting indifference. “Guess you have no shame, huh? Making him buy your tampons and all.”

Kali’s face twisted with malice. “You… You’re the shameless one! If you hadn’t used your cheap tricks to seduce Hastings, why would he even bother with you?”
