NovelEnglishChapter 108 "Who raised such a rude child?" Carlotta finally noticed the girl standing beside Sawyer. The moment she laid eyes on her, she took an instant dislike-and the girl's attitude certainly didn't help. Carlotta didn't bother to hide her irritation.
Jeanette paled; only now did she realize how impolite she had just been.
Sawyer's face darkened. He immediately stepped in to apologize for Jeanette. "I'm sorry, Ms. Yarbrough. This is my daughter. She didn't mean any offense." Jeanette, mortified by her mistake, quickly bowed her head. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Yarbrough. I was just in a rush. I didn't mean to be disrespectful." Carlotta snorted. "Fine, I'll let it slide this time. You're just a kid-I won't stoop to your level." But Jeanette wasn't ready to give up. She pressed on, "Ms. Yarbrough, may I ask what your relationship is with Citrine?" Carlotta frowned, inwardly cursing the girl for her lack of tact.

"Ms. Yarbrough, I'd like to know-did you choose The Carmichael Group because Citrine is Raymond's daughter? In other words, did you refuse to cooperate with The Iverson Group because of Citrine?" For a second, Carlotta wondered if she'd misheard. She didn't have the faintest clue what was going on between the Carmichaels, the Iversons, and Citrine. All she could think about was that bombshell Jeanette had just dropped.
Citrine is Raymond's daughter? Carlotta was stunned.
"Citrine?" She turned to look at her friend in disbelief, suddenly at a loss for how to handle the situation.
Citrine didn't meet her gaze. Instead, she took over the conversation smoothly. "So what if I am? My decision is Carlotta's decision. I said it before-CICI Group would never, under any circumstances, choose the Iverson family." Since Citrine didn't deny it, Carlotta realized Jeanette must be telling the truth.
The chairwoman of CICI Group was actually the daughter of The Carmichael Group's CEO? That was explosive news.
From the looks of it, the CEO of The Carmichael Group probably had no idea that the powerhouse behind CICI Group was his own daughter.
Oh my God, Carlotta thought, this was the juiciest gossip she'd heard in ages.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Carmichaels were already obscenely wealthy, but their little heiress was out here building a business empire of her own-one that was every bit as impressive as her family's legacy. Talk about ambition.
While the other socialites were busy shopping and brunching, the Carmichael princess was running a corporation. Not even the most outrageous would dare write a plot like this.
As Citrine finished speaking, Jeanette's face went even paler She and Sawyer both glanced at Carlotta, En as if searching for confirmation.
Carlotta snapped out of her daze and immediately jumped in to back m Citrine up. "That's right Citan@s decision is my decision. CICI Group can pick anyone-but we'll never pick the Iversons." Of course, Citrine was her boss. Sawyer could only stare at his daughter, who was openly defying him, and felt a storm of emotions he could barely name.
"Citrine, do you really hate the Iverson family so much? You'd rather see us go bankrupt?"
He just didn't get it. Sure, he'd misunderstood her once, but he'd apologized. How could she hold such algrudge? Was she really willing to risk the company's future out of spite? He'd been the one to raise her for over a decade-why was she so determined to stand with Raymond? But what Citrine said next chilled Sawyer to the bone, confirming just how deep her hatred for the Iversons ran.
Her voice was as cold as ice. "That's right. I'd be thrilled if the Iverson family went bankrupt."
