The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 124 Hearing the noise, Shakira looked over to see Walter standing on the second-floor railing, gazing down at her with a cool and handsexpression.

Shakira's heart skipped a beat. Walter sure got news quickly... "I in explain this," Shakira said, jogging up the spiral staircase, slightly out of breath when she stood before Walter.

Walter's voice was cold. "There's no need to explain to me; we're not that close.

Shakira pouted, not giving Walter any face. "I don't believe you. If you didn't want to hear my explanation, you wouldn't have waited here for me." Walter was silent.

Brian, standing nearby, couldn't help but cough and quietly walked away.

Shakira squatted down slightly, her gaze was clear, and her tone was calmer and more composed than ever. "You've looked into everything about my past, how I was at the Smith residence and the Nelson residence; you know it best. I've told you before, I don't need anyone to interfere in these matters; I'll handle them myself." Walter gazed at her with a deep stare. "Buying out Lago's company, is that your revenge?" Shakira did not hide anything; she was completely open. "I want him to lose everything." Her eyes shone with firm determination.

Walter was silent for a moment. Ever since the first day Shakira appeared before him, he knew she was different from ordinary women.

Her face revealed many emotions, but he always felt she was hiding more inside. There were many secrets about her that he couldn't uncover.

Walter never cared about this before. As long as she wasn't a threat to him, it didn't matter. She was just a way to kill time; there was no need to invest any effort in her. But now, his thoughts seemed to be shifting.

He wanted to know her likes, her dislikes, and more about who she really was. Like right now, she had made a massive move without his knowledge, and he learned about it only through others.

Realizing he himself had such feelings about it was confusing for Walter. "What's happening to me?" But at the stime, he was sure he didn't want to control these feelings. So, as Shakira mentioned, he was just waiting here now.

Walter lowered his eyes, asking without any emotion, "Where did the money cfrom?" "Uh," Shakira's eyes darted around. "Well, Walter, you agree that I'm pretty good at medicine. I've handled quite a few difficult cases before..." She was making it up. Walter was her first real patient, and she never willingly helped anyone with medicine. But she couldn't be completely honest with Walter.

Walter scoffed, "So you're keeping a secret stash behind my back! Shakira froze, finally realizing why Walter was picking a fight. 'Good grief, typical capitalist. It's all about the money!' She immediately wailed, "I'm innocent, Walter! It's not that I don't want to pay back the money, but sthings are more pressing. I can't just spend all my hard-earned savings on cakes and clothes can I? Don't worry, I'll find tto work and pay you back soon enough!" Walter realized Shakira misunderstood him, and his face darkened. "When did I ever ask you to payback?" "But you weren't..." ""Enough, shut your mouth. I don't want to hear it." 1/3 16:04 Mon, Oct 28 TU Chapter 121 567 He feared if Shakira continued to speak, he'd lose it. 'Ungrateful woman, I just asked a few questions, and she thought I was being stingy. Do I seem like I am lacking a few million? he thought.

Seeing the grim look on Walter's face, Shakira silently zipped her lips. Seriously, he changed moods faster than turning a page! After the charity event, the classmates who had visited the Lopez farily spread the gossip about Shakira being treated as important there, and it beccommon knowledge throughout the school. While ssecretly mocked Shakira for being a maid at the Lopez family, they now realized this 'maid' was nearly at the level of the mistress, and the tide turned.

like her be just a maid!] [I told you. Shakira is so beautiful, there's no way Mr. Lopez would let meone [Did you all forget about when Shakira treated her classmates to Swan Bakery cakes? If she was really a maid, would she have been so generous?] [Oh my gosh, I'm crying! This is like a modern Cinderella story, right?] [It feels more like Beauty and the Beast. Mr. Lopez isn't quite a prince yet.] [Wow, people are spending too much tonline these days. How could anyone look down on the richest guy? Even if Mr. Lopez were a fool, he's still got a fortune!] [Exactly, and Mr. Lopez's face is top-notch, not just in Crescentville, but among the global rich. Who needs money when just looking at that face is pleasing enough?] [Plus, there were rumors about Mr. Lopez having a quirky, unpredictable temper, but now it seems when it comes to love, he's way better than any ordinary guy. He's not miserly, he's considerate, and he has a sense of humor. The perfect boyfriend!]

[The funniest one though is Yvette.

People used to say she was fortunate, even if she was mistakenly swapped, she went from billionaire heiress to millionaire's daughter, like having VIP treatment in life, always a rich kid wherever she went. But now, it seems Shakira's the truly lucky one! Born with a great background and found an even better partner!]

It's hilarious! How could Yvette still be a millionaire heiress? The Smith family's company is nearly bankrupt, right? Plus, that plagiarism incident of hers nearly ruined the Nelson residence completely. If it hadn't been for her boyfriend rescuing them, Its that,plagiarismincident the Nelsons might have already fallen out from the top five wealthy families!] [She's not lucky; she's really a jinx! Anyone who gets close to her ends up with bad luck!]

Hearing these comments nearly made Yvette burst with anger. If she didn't care about her image, she would've charged over and ripped the mouths of those mocking her. 'Useless nobodies, they'll always be lower class. They're just jealous of me!' she thought. Yvette secretly glared daggers at Shakira countless times, becoming even more annoyed by Mitchell constantly hovering around Shakira every day! Even though Shakira firmly rejected Mitchell over the phone, he wouldn't give up. When the phone didn't work, he went straight to the school.

"Shakira, why don't you think about it again?" "It's really just a family meal; no pressure on you." I haven't told the family that you've already turneddown. Finn has cleared his schedule, and it coincides with the day Felix returns, this Friday evening, at the Seven Stars Grand Hotel. We're having a welcdinner for Felix, and you should join us. It's a family dinner. Chapter 124 Shakira paid no attention, letting it pass by like a light breeze. She thought, With someone like Mitchell, give him a little and he'll take a lot.

Mitchell talked until his mouth went dry, and as the deadline approached, he had no choice but to use his secret weap Do you remember you owea favor? 16:04 Mon, Oct 28 T
