The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 483

Citrine’s gaze was sharp with warning, and Danny Fuller immediately clamped his mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.

Carney glanced toward Citrine, lips pressed together, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes. But beneath the surface, what he felt most was fear.

After all, this was President Carmichael of CICI Group. What he’d just done had been far too bold—borderline disrespectful.

At that moment, Sebastian’s stare was fixed on Citrine and the man sitting beside her. He seemed to forget entirely why he’d come.

“What are you doing?” His voice shook, eyes red as he looked at Citrine.

“Isn’t it obvious? We’re discussing business.” Citrine looked down at Sebastian from her seat, her tone cool and unbothered, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

What kind of business required two people to sit so close, holding hands?

Sebastian’s fists clenched at his sides, his lips trembling, but he had no right to question her—no standing at all.

He glared at Carney as if he could burn a hole straight through him.

Carney soon felt the icy hostility in the air.

The temperature in the suite seemed to drop by several degrees.

Afraid the tension would ruin today’s negotiation, Danny Fuller was the first to break the silence. He shot Sebastian a cold glare and said sharply, “You need to leave. We’re in the middle of a meeting.”

Sebastian didn’t budge.

Danny Fuller’s brow furrowed. He shot an anxious glance at Citrine. “President Carmichael, my apologies. I’ll handle this right away.”

Without waiting for a reply, Danny Fuller grabbed Sebastian by the arm and dragged him out of the suite.
