The True Heiress's Return

FD

Chapter 243

Shakira couldn't stand Sean showing off like this, but seeing Rebecca almost fuming, she knew that this tactic

was certainly effective. Shakira put her hand in his, and Sean raised her hand even higher, proudly sharing their

happiness. Felix stood there watching, completely lost in thought.

Seeing how Sean admired Lonely Bird, Rebecca got angrier. Besides, Sean even openly humiliated the Nelson

family right in front of her. Rebecca was about to burst with anger.

Seeing Felix looking heartbroken and defeated, Rebecca felt so suffocated that she almost passed out. She was

angry but more disappointed.

Sean openly belittled the Nelson family and looked down on Finn, but as a member of the Nelson family and

Finn's brother, Felix didn't even try to retort.

Rebecca was so furious that she gritted her teeth and yelled, "Sean! Are you going to be against our Nelson

family?!"

Sean didn't answer her. He took out his phone and commanded the person on the other end, "Cancel all the

collaborations with the Nelson family. From now on, Yonder Digital will compete in every project related to them!"

He hung up decisively and raised an eyebrow at Rebecca whose face darkened. He humiliated her without

hesitation.

Rebecca was absolutely furious. As the hostess of the Nelson family, she was used to people complying with her.

She had never been treated like this before.

Rebecca said, "Alright, Sean. You said it yourself. Don't regret it afterward!"

She couldn't stay any longer. After warning Sean, she stormed into the car, slammed the door, and yelled at the

hauffeur, "What are you waiting for?!"

The chauffeur was startled and quickly started the car. Rebecca, who hadn't settled in yet, fell on the back seat

as the car sped away. People present could still hear her cursing as they drove off.

Sean was so proud. He puffed up his chest, winked, and bragged to Shakira, "How was it? | was awesome, wasn't

1?" Thinking of Rebecca's furious yet helpless expression, Shakira felt much better. She smiled slightly and said,

"A little bit." Even though it was just a small compliment, it meant a lot to Sean. It had been ages since Shakira

last praised him. His trip today was definitely worth it.

Shakira shook her head with a smile. Then she noticed that Felix was still standing there like a statue, and her

smile faded. She turned toward the Ferrari and said, "Let's go."

Sean glanced at Felix, shook his head, and left with Shakira.

As the car started, Sean noticed, through the rearview mirror, that Felix was watching them from a distance. He

tutted and said, "What's wrong Felix? Has he really been impressed by your talent?"

Suddenly, Sean chuckled and said, "Alas, when Felix finally finds out that his most admired Lonely Bird is his own

sister whom he's been ignoring, he'll surely kick himself!"

Shakira didn't reply. In her past life, she paid the price with her own life. Making them regret wasn't enough at

all.

Shakira didn't give Sean any address. He drove to the Eastlake Valley Estate and stopped in front of the villa that

he had arranged for Shakira.

Shakira opened her eyes. It was the first tin two lifetimes that she cto this residence. Although no one

lived there, Chapter 243

the community caretaker would routinely maintain it.

The villa looked very clean from the outside and showed no signs of anyone living there.

Sean didn't give it much thought. He just watched Shakira remove her disguise as Lonely Bird and then unbuckle

her seatbelt.

Sean couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Shakira, can't I just get in and pet the kittens?"

He quickly pointed to the trunk and said, "I even brought ssnacks and toys for the kittens. | really want to

give these to them myself!"

Shakira smiled softly and said, "Maybe next time. I'll invite you. As for the snacks and toys..."

Under Sean's pleading gaze, Shakira mercilessly refused, "I'll deliver them for you and send you sshort

videos later."

Sean covered his chest, feeling heartbroken.

In the end, Shakira stood by the gate and stared at Sean, so Sean could only leave.

Once the Ferrari was out of sight, Shakira gathered her belongings, walked out of the yard of the villa, and

headed deeper into the Eastlake Valley Estate.

At night, after washing up, Shakira routinely gave Walter an acupuncture session. Then she sat cross-legged next

to him and started scrolling through her phone.

Walter lay on the bed with his face resting between his arms. He turned his head and quietly watched her.

His gaze was so intense and focused that Shakira couldn't ignore it at all.

She crawled over, picked up his phone from the nightstand, placed it in his hand, and said, "Here, enjoy yours."

Walter raised an eyebrow, feeling speechless. "When did | ever say | wanted to use the phone?"

Shakira blinked innocently. "If you're not bored, why are you staring at me?"

Walter said, "Why can't | stare at my own fiancée?"

"Alright, alright. Feel free to do so." Shakira joked, raising her finger to point at herself, "Mr. Lopez, do you want

to see my left side or my right side? Letadjust for you so you can have a good look." She was just joking, but

Walter really began to observe her closely. After pinching her chin and carefully comparing her cheeks, Walter

pretended to be serious and said, "The right side. It looks fleshier." Shakira widened her eyes in disbelief. "Are

you serious?"

Walter flicked her forehead gently and said, "Of course... not. I'm just teasing you."

It seemed that he really got bored.

Shakira pouted and lay down on the bed like him. But her head was facing him, so they were looking at each

other face to face.

Walter smiled warmly. Then Shakira suddenly said, "Walter, are you thinking of giving up?"

He was slightly surprised, and then his smile gradually faded.

He said, "Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. It just popped into my head." Shakira shook her head. "Ever since Mr. Goodman said he couldn't

heal your legs, you've never said anything when we do all the acupuncture and herbal baths every day. "I'm just

curious if you've already given up on yourself, and maybe you don't even want to continue the treatment

anymore."

Walter stared at her deeply and said, "If I didn't want it, | would have let you take charge of everything all this

time."

Shakira instinctively replied, "Could it be that you just don't wantto be disappointed as well?"

Walter was speechless.

He thought, 'She's really good at finding excuses for me."
