The True Heiress's Return
Heiress’s Return 87

Chapter 87

Shakira felt a bit uneasy inside. To be honest, she was also surprised when Walter said those three words earlier. Recalling the intensity in his eyes in the elevator, she worried that if Walter took it seriously... "What do you mean... are you very concerned?" Before Shakira could think further, Walter's voice interrupted her thoughts,

She subconsciously looked up to see his expression. The man's brows were as deep as ever, his eyes dark and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts. Shakira thought for a moment and said, "In general, when girls hear such words, they tend to care, right?"

Hearing this response, Walter's lips curled into a faint smile. The earlier anger had now thawed; after the fog and clouds dispersed, there was a warm light. His gaze was intensely fixed on the woman right in front of him, his magnetic voice carrying a hint of pleasure and an undeniable air of arrogance, "It's just that I don't like the Nelson family, letting you get rid of a hassle sooner."

"Really?"

"Really." Walter stared at her intently, "Are you disappointed by this answer?"

"How could be!" Shakira exclaimed, taking a big breath, "You scared me! I thought you really... heh heh, as expected of the young master, you're so clever."

Seeing her bright smile, which didn't seem forced, Walter's expression darkened instantly. "What do you mean? Do you really think I would look at you?" The proud man was as cold as ever, his tone disdainful, "Dream on."

Shakira was not defeated by his words. Confirming that Walter had no other thoughts about her, she felt light as a feather and utterly relaxed. "Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right, young master. As a mere maid, how could I dare to cover someone at the pinnacle of the pyramid?"

Shakira smirked, moving back to her original position. I'm very self-aware, you know,"

Brian didn't dare to breathe loudly, cautiously peeking through the rearview mirror to check his master's expression. The cold and sharp look, combined with an overwhelming anger that he had to suppress, made him want to destroy the entire car! And then he glanced at Ms. Nelson, who was happily admiring the scenery outside the window... Brian felt a headache coming on for his young master. "Ms. Nelson, please be a bit more cautious!

After returning from Fiona's apartment, Shakira sensed that Walter was not in a good mood. She speculated it might be because he was angered by the fake Matthew. After returning, she also thanked Jasmin, grateful that he provided her with a reason to expose that imposter.

Jasmin sighed. "I never expected that after so many years out of the limelight, someone would impersonate him and scam people, even getting away with 30 million dollars! That's ruthless!"

Shakira smiled. "It's not every time that so much money can be scammed."

Jasmin chuckled, gossiping about the aftermath. "Hey, not to mention, after sending him to the police station, they discovered he had scammed many ordinary patients as well. They were given much less, only hundreds or thousands, but this time it was different. My master is still wondering where such a big fool came from to be scammed out of so much money! Haha, originally that imposter could have retired with this sum, but it's just his bad luck to encounter my Uncle-in- arms!"

Shakira replied, "I should say I helped him. If he had successfully run away with the money, 30 million dollars, Walter would definitely turn Crescentville upside down to replace him."

"Haha, that's true. Jasmin changed the subject, "Uncle-in-arms, my master is asking when you'll come to Clusia Hospital to

help promote Uncle-in-army medical skills?"

Shakira blinked and stated directly, "I have no intention of doing that. When I apprenticed, I mentioned this to my master, and he promised not to pressure me."

"Got it. My master is like that. After all, with a proud disciple like me opening a beauty hospital and testing agency, the students in the institute have mixed abilities, which troubles him quite a bit."

Shakira said nothing. After all, she couldn't help with these matters. After hanging up, she thought about asking Walter what he wanted for dinner, only to realize he had left without a word. Shakira felt a bit slow on the uptake, "Why do I feel like this guy is angry with me?" Just then, Shakira received a text message on her phone. Looking at the content, her gaze suddenly turned cold.

On the top floor of the seven-star hotel in Crescentville, Calton and the others heard that Walter had been scammed out of 30 million dollars by the fake Matthew and immediately organized a drinking party, calling it a "comfort for the brother."

*30 million dollars! I've finally witnessed Mr. Lopez's extravagance today!" Calton laughed so hard he could barely hold his drink, ruining the million-dollar top-class sofa beneath him

Gavin kicked him. "Alright, you! Keep laughing and be careful Walter might kill you." He made a slitting motion across his neck.

Calton hurriedly sat up straight, but within two seconds, he broke down again, rolling away to laugh, knowing better than to stay close to Walter's cold gaze.

Kyle felt helpless as he poured Walter a glass of champagne, sofily comforting him. "It's good that nothing major happened,

Walter took the glass and gulped it down in one go, as if venting his frustrations.

Kyle felt somewhat surprised. 'He knows Walter's mood; he's not one to care about face. Why is he so furious about almost being scammed? Could it be... he's angry about something else? Instinctively, Kyle recalled that bright, beautiful face. He quickly shook his head, thinking he was being overly sensitive.

The heavy rosewood doors swung open, and Berry, dressed elegantly, scanned the room before walking over to Walter with a smile. "Mr. Lopez, what a coincidence." She approached him with a shy smile, bending forward, revealing a generous view from her neckline. "My parents are hosting dinner downstairs, and I heard from the manager that you were here, so I came to say hello." She gazed at the man's handsome profile, her eyes ablaze, "I hope I'm not interrupting you?"

The Lopez family had investments in the hotel, and under her parents' persuasion, Berry had asked Walter for an SVIP card. This was an unprecedented special treatment, and the hotel manager naturally thought Berry was of exceptional status next 10 Mr. Lopez, treating her with great care.

Noticing this, Kyle frowned slightly, while Calton and Gavin became animated,

"Hey, isn't this from the welcome banquet Kyle hosted last time? Calton asked.

Gavin laughed. "Could it be that Mr. Lopez has finally fallen for someone? And it's the one right in front of him?"

Hearing their teasing, Berry's face lit up with joy, radiant and alluring.

Walter completely ignored them and didn't even look at Berry. His voice was cold, "As the host, it's impolite to leave your seat without permission."
