The True Heiress's Return

! | Chapter 79 П The man exuded a natural domineering presence, filled with a fierce anger that shocked Fiona, who had hoped to find comfort from him. The room echoed with gasps as Walter's fury swept through. Fiona felt guilty and stuttered, "Walter, I just heard the maids talking... Walter pressed her. "Which maid?" Fiona's lips trembled, "L. I can't remember... W-Walter, please don't do this! I'm scared...!" Tears didn't sway him in the least.

Walter ordered Levi, "Check the security footage. Bring in every maid who has interacted with her, one by one, so she cant identify them." His voice was filled with icy ruthlessness. "If she likes gossiping about the family, let her go back and chat all she wants!" Fiona was completely terrified, too scared even to cry now. She dared not say another word to Walter, fearing it might provoke his unpredictable wrath again.

Walter i ignored them and headed upstairs. After he left, the oppressive atmosphere in the living room gradually eased. Even Benji was patting his chest, mumbling to himself, I've never seen Finn this angry at Fiona before." Shakira silently thought to herself, That's nothing; when she first stepped into the villa and he nearly choked her, that was way scarter!" He scratched his chin and suddenly brightened up, looking excitedly at Shakira. "I revenge! Wow, I never knew my brother could be so thoughtful what a revelation!" et in Finn is helping his sister-in-law get Shakira thought, 'Now I understand why Benji's past girlfriends always have nice things to say about him. He's such a love-struck fool; no wonder they all adore him!" Looks like the Lopez family is quite fair Walter got the brains, and Benji got the emotional smarts, perfectly balanced. Meanwhile, the Nelson family is a mess-Selena's lost her mind, and Mitchell's brain is elsewhere. What a disaster! "No way! Benji, have you lost your mind? Are you being played by Shakira?" Fiona saw her chance to show off again while Benji was distracted.

Benji had long since disliked her attitude, always acting like she owned the place. If it weren't for their grandfather enjoying her company, he wouldn't bother with her. He stuck his tongue out at her, imitating Walter's previous tone. "What does that have to do with you?" Fiona was furious, her eyes nearly popping out. "Ah! I'm so mad right now! Levi approached, speaking with calm authority, "The maids are waiting by the door, Ms. Banks. Please cwith me." Fiona bit her lip and shot Shakira a fierce glare, reluctantly following her outside. Soon, Shakira heard the maid's cries for help and Fiona's disgusted insults echoing from outside.

Shakira furrowed her brow and headed straight upstairs. She knocked on the study door and, hearing a man's voice from inside, pushed the door open. Walter was on the extended terrace, his expression blank as he watched Fiona bossing Levi around, forcing the accused maid out. Shakira spoke softly, a hint of hoarseness in her voice, "She's innocent." It was obvious to anyone with eyes acting all high and mighty, treating the situation like a trivial matter.

Brian nodded and, noticing the tense atmosphere between Walter and Shakira, left without saying more, closing the door behind him Walter noticed Shakira's face showing clear surprise and frustration. He smirked coldly. "What, did you think I'd just recklessly deal with an innocent maid and cursein your mind?* Shakira blurted out, "No way!" Walter stared at her, his face saying he didn't believe her.

Shakira pouted, "I only cursed you once." "Go on "Are you really that eager to hear it?" Shakira instinctively stepped back, "I didn't say anything: are you just looking for a reason to throttle me?" it." Say it.

Shakira swallowed hard, exhaling slowly, and finally confessed, I called you an idiot" Walter raised his hand as if to throttle her out of anger.

Shakira quickly covered her neck. "Mr. Lopez, hold on! III handle it myself!" Walter snorted, "Ifl w I was easy on you you, I'd have more reason to choke you!" Realizing she was in the wrong, Shakira waved her hands in indignation, "Alright, I admit it! I overlooked your extraordinary brilliance and unmatched wisdom! How could I possibly be fooled by Fiona's little tricks!"

Walter rolled his eyes at her flattery.

It was getting more polished with each compliment. He steadied his expression and I looked deeply into Shakira'sleyes. When you see that maid being wrongly accused, you're reminded of your own past experiences. It's not that you feel sorry for her; you're feeling sorry for your past self. He said this with certainty.

Shakira paused for a moment, then slowly lowered her hands. A self-deprecating smile crept onto her face. "Maybe that's Kue But honestly, "Maybe that I feel more foolish.
