The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 180

Sawyer just couldn't wrap his head around it.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Carlotta spoke up. "Mr. Iverson, how about this? Ten million to buy out Iverson Enterprises. What do you say?"

Sawyer froze at her words. Instead of answering, he countered with a question. "Can I ask why you're doing this to me? I've never crossed your company, CICI Holdings."

Carlotta chuckled. "Mr. Iverson, do you really need a reason? In business, it's survival of the fittest. The strong make the rules, and you simply weren't strong enough."

She paused for a moment, then added, "I'll give you three days to think it over."

With that, Carlotta hung up without waiting for a reply.

Sawyer's knuckles turned white as he gripped his phone.

Iverson Enterprises was the work of his life. There was no way he could just stand by and watch it get sold off.

Later that afternoon, Sawyer took Norton with him to Citrine's school.

They arrived early and waited outside the gates of Primus Academy.

Citrine had barely stepped out before the two of them stopped her.

"You two again?" Citrine raised an eyebrow, but there was no real surprise in her eyes.

"We need to talk," Sawyer said in a calm, measured tone.

"Alright," Citrine agreed easily. She was in a good mood today and didn't mind humoring them.

They found a nearby café.

No sooner had they sat down than Sawyer slid a contract across the table toward Citrine.
