The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 498

As soon as he finished speaking, he added, “But actually, it’s not us forming the company—it’s Mr. Glenwood. He’s planning to start a new venture and invited us to buy in.”

Why does this fool have to spill everything? How did an idiot like this ever end up as CEO of The Walker Group?

Dick’s face grew darker by the second as he listened from the sidelines.

When Mr. Walker spoke up, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rogers exchanged a quick glance and chimed in with polite smiles. “Exactly, just as Mr. Walker said.”

At that moment, Citrine suddenly put on an exaggerated look of shock. “You’re all planning to invest in Mr. Glenwood’s new company?”

Noticing Citrine’s expression, Walker, Taylor, and Rogers all turned to her at once. “What’s wrong, President Carmichael? Why do you look so surprised?”

By now, Dick realized something was off. He stared straight at Citrine, momentarily forgetting the fear she’d put in him earlier. As she started to speak, he cut her off harshly, his face twisted in anger. “Shut up, you bitch! What are you trying to pull?”

Citrine’s eyes widened in feigned innocence. “Bitch? Mr. Glenwood, are you talking about me?”

Dick spat, “I’m talking about you, all right. I’m warning you—don’t ruin this for me, or you’ll regret it.”

Citrine flashed a sudden, bright smile. “That’s really unfair. My reputation online has always been spotless. If you say something like that, Mr. Glenwood, you’re the one at fault.”

She leaned in, her voice syrupy sweet. “Actually, if I remember right, that word suits you pretty well. After all, what decent man would sleep with his own company’s talent? And let’s be honest, Mr. Glenwood, you’ve never been satisfied with just one at a time. So if anyone here deserves that label, it’s you.”

Something seemed to occur to her, and her tone turned playful. “Oh, wait—I shouldn’t even call you Mr. Glenwood anymore. Word is, Talbot Glenwood already kicked you out of Glenwood Group. You’re nobody now, aren’t you?”

“You—” Dick’s eyes bulged. He never expected Citrine to air his dirty laundry in front of everyone. His whole body trembled with rage, but he couldn’t get a single word out.

“What?” Mr. Walker blurted, looking stunned. “Mr. Glenwood got thrown out of Glenwood Group by Talbot Glenwood?”
