The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 411

Kali had never thought much of her poor, shabby little sister, but after hearing what Jeanette had to say, her interest was piqued.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She reached out with a cheerful grin and pulled Jeanette down to sit beside her on the bed.

Thinking about Citrine, Kali’s expression darkened. “Jeanette, I can’t stand Citrine either. She stole what should have been mine.”

Jeanette’s eyes lit up, suddenly overflowing with conversation.

She didn’t hold back, launching into all the messy history she shared with Citrine back in Havencrest—grudges, betrayals, every sour memory.

Jeanette was refreshingly honest, and Kali, sensing no pretense, gradually let her own guard down. Soon she was venting all her troubles too.

The two hit it off instantly. In just one hour, two girls who’d barely spoken before found themselves bonding over a shared dislike, dropping their usual masks and becoming genuine with each other.

Kali felt as if she’d finally found someone who understood her—a kindred spirit she wished she’d met sooner. Excited, she leaned in. “Jeanette, since we’re on the same page, what do you say we team up? Let’s bring that bitch Citrine down together.”

Jeanette smiled slyly. “Absolutely, Kali. Besides, down the line, my family will need yours to look out for us.”

As she spoke, Jeanette suddenly remembered something Kali had just said. A brilliant idea flashed through her mind.

Leaning in, she whispered, “Kali, I just thought of a way to ruin things between Citrine and Hastings.”

She pressed closer, murmuring the details into Kali’s ear.

Kali’s face changed slightly. “No way. If something happens to me, I’m done for. Besides, the hospital’s blood bank is out of my type.”

She desperately wanted to break up Hastings and Citrine, but risking her own life was out of the question.

Jeanette’s lips curled into a subtle smile. “It won’t come to that, Kali.”

Kali was used to being the center of attention. She basked in it, thoroughly enjoying the adoration.

Only Hastings sat off to the side by himself, keeping his distance. Seeing his back turned, Kali felt a pang of resentment.

She thought for a moment, then called out, “Hastings, I heard you’ve got a girlfriend now. Why don’t you call her and have her join us?”

Theo straightened up and lit a cigarette. “Yeah, bring her over and introduce her to the guys. We’ll help you size her up.”

Quentin chimed in, “Seriously, Hastings, how long are you going to keep her under wraps? Bring her over and let us meet her already.”

At first, Hastings wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that Citrine hadn’t met his closest friends yet. He changed his mind.

Looking at them, he said, “Alright, I’ll call her. But fair warning—she’s not like other girls. If she comes, you’d better not give her a hard time.”

It was Saturday, so she should be at home relaxing. Seeing that it wasn’t too late, Hastings sent Citrine a message.
