The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 789

Vester witnessed the whole scene and, in the end, had someone tell the boy his holiday request was approved. As if that weren’t enough, he even gave the boy a generous sum as a gesture of goodwill, signing it under his own name.

Such kindness wasn’t something you’d expect from someone with his background. Citrine believed he was nothing like his father.

And clearly, she’d bet on the right person.

A sudden smile broke across Vester’s face.

He didn’t press Citrine for details; instead, he got straight to the point. “Alright, what do you want me to help you with?”

Citrine answered him seriously. “I want the names of everyone overseas who was involved in the dirty business on Mirage Cay—and what part they played.”

She paused for a moment, then added, “And beyond that, I need evidence of Mr. Archer’s involvement in the Mirage Cay incident. Proof of his crimes.”

Her words were direct and unwavering. When she finished, she fixed her gaze on Vester, waiting for his response.

Vester hadn’t expected her to be so forthright. He regarded her with a flicker of admiration in his eyes.

He didn’t reply right away. Instead, he pulled out his phone and called his butler.

“Bring me everything from the top shelf of my safe.”

With that, he hung up.

A few minutes later, the Archer family’s butler arrived, carrying a file folder.

Vester gave him a subtle nod, signaling him to hand it over to Citrine and her companion.

Citrine, caught up in her own happiness, didn’t notice his gaze. But Sebastian, who’d sat silently beside her the whole time, did.

No one understands a man’s intentions better than another man. Vester’s look was dangerous, and Sebastian knew exactly what it meant.

A sudden wave of jealousy hit him, leaving him on edge. He glared at Vester, his eyes cold and sharp.

Vester quickly noticed the glare and met Sebastian’s gaze head-on, offering him a sly, provocative smile.

Citrine hadn’t expected the alarm. She turned to Vester, deeply grateful. “Thank you for the warning.”
