Heiress’s Return 154

Chapter 154

Yvette held back her grievances and when she saw Rebecca's shocked expression, she quickly turned her head to wipe her tears, trying to look like she didn't want Rebecca to see her sadness.

Yvette's hand was wrapped in bandages, while the other was still lightly bleeding, making Rebecca feel even more ashamed and unable to face her.

"My sweetheart, I'm the one who let you down. Rebecca cried, tugging Yvette tightly, with her words choked with tears."

"I was too impulsive. I only cared about arguing with Shakira and didn't notice your feelings. Clearly, you were hurt and unable to perform because of Shakira, you should be upset about this, yet here you are comforting me. "I'm foolish. I have such a precious daughter, why should I care about what that jerk does?"

Yvette leaned against her, with her face showing no signs of sadness.

Yvette said, "Mom, don't say that. The opportunity to perform wasn't originally mine. I thought that being able to perform and make our family proud would repay the hard work and care you've given me. I didn't expect..." She couldn't continue, her voice already choking with emotion.

"Good girl, there's no need to say more. I understand your feelings." Rebecca felt an even deeper ache in her heart. The more sensible Yvette was, the more Rebecca felt she owed her greatly. She took a deep breath and gently pushed Yvette away "Good girl. remember that Shakira is no longer our daughter, she's just a stranger with no connection to us," said Rebecca

""From now o

on, whenever you face her, don't hold back or step aside. You are the cherished young lady of the Nelson family. and are far more valued than that maid," added Rebecca while gently stroking Yvette's hair, looking at her with determination in her eyes. Tve made up my mind. From now on, I'm going to invest more time and effort into nurturing my precious daughter. Soon, everyone in Crescentville will know that you, Yvette, are the most outstanding daughter of the Nelson family."

Hearing these words, Yvette felt a wave of excitement and couldn't contain her joy. "Thank you, Mom. I will work twice as hard to make both you and Dad proud of me."

"Yes, Mom trusts my good daughter. Yvette happily hugged Rebecca again.

In a comer where Rebecca couldn't see, greed filled Yvette's eyes! Shakira, I would definitely make you repay someday twice as much the humiliation I suffered today.

"Achoo." The first day of the summit ended perfectly. Benji and the others were planning to have a celebration dinner at Veiled Vine. As they left the venue, a cool autumn breeze blew in Hearing Shakira sneeze, Walter looked over at her and asked, "Cold Shakira pinched her nose and said, "It's alright. I guess."

Walter signaled to Brian to get the car ready. "Let's head back then."

Calton was shocked by what he heard. "Oh, wait, Mr. Lopez, did hear that right? Just because Ms. Nelson sneezed, you're not going to hang out with us anymore?"

Walter raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? You got a problem

Of course, I have a problem, a big one. But.. Calton only dared to complain silently to himself, not daring to voice it out loud. He scratched his face awkwardly. "You both head back early and keep warm."

Shakira paused for a moment and instinctively said. "But I have promised to eat steak with Xanthe"

Walter shot her a threatening glance. "I'm giving you a chance to decline."

Shakira pouted. She wouldn't dare act up in front of the Big Devil, so she obediently messaged Xanthe to reschedule their meal.

After saying goodbye to the others, they got into the Maybach, which was already warm. As Shakira sat down, her bare legs felt much more comfortable. Suddenly, she remembered something and leaned over to Walter. "Didn't you say you had a reward for me. Walter?" Walter, who was resting with his eyes closed, turned his head to look at her. "You want it now?"

"Shakira chuckled. I've been waiting for hours," said she. She thought. As Big Devil is stingy, even counting a cake against me, I am curious about what he would reward me with:

Seeing the sparkling anticipation in her eyes, Walter curved his handsome lips into a smile. Just wait a little longer. You'll know when we get home"

Shakira was momentarily stunned by his words. Going home had an indescribable warmth to it. She shook her head to get rid of her sudden sentimental thoughts and continued to wait patiently for Walter's reward.

Once they returned to Eastlake Valley Estate, Levi and the household staff were at the door to welcome them. The summit performance was live-streamed, and Shakira's piano solo not only wowed the audience but also received praise online.

With loving pride, Levi opened the door for Shakira and gave her a thumbs up. "Ms. Nelson, your piano playing was beautiful

Shakira lifted the corners of her mouth. Thanks, Levi

Levi winked at her. "Walter has arranged a gift for you. I'm sure you'll really like it when you see it."

Shakira was pleasantly surprised. "Levi knows too? What is it?"

"Shakira, why don't you go in and take a look?" said Levi

This made Shakira even more eager. She turned her head and noticed that Walter had already gone inside the small villa before her.

Shakira quickly caught up, jogging along. Around the large stone column in the living room, Shakira finally saw the mysterious gift. It was a clear crystal grand piano. Under the elegant crystal chandelier, the piano looked as stunning as a fine piece of art. Shakira was transfixed, standing there in amazement without reacting. Walter had already sat down by the piano. His elegant white suit perfectly complemented the crystal piano, creating a breathtakingly beautiful picture.

Seeing her not moving. Walter reached out to her with a deep, enticing voice. "Aren't you coming over?" Shakira couldn't resist such an attractive sight.

At some point, Levi, Brian, and the servants had left, leaving only the two of them in the spacious living room. Shakira uncontrollably moved towards the plano, and with a sweep of his arm, Walter pulled her into his embrace. She sat on his lap, with her eyes reflecting the image of Walter and the piano. Noticing she was entranced, Walter smiled even brighter. "You really like it, huh?" Shakira instinctively swallowed, suddenly turning to stare intently at Walter as if she could see straight into his heart. "How did you know I'd like this piano?" 273
