The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 7

"Shakira, I know you're upset tonight, but you can't take it out on Yvette. Just apologize, and everyone will move on." Cody spoke up, and his tone suggested he was already making a big compromise. Yvette bit her lip and glanced at Shakira, saying softly, "As long as you want to stay, I don't mind if you don't apologize." "Yvette, you're way too nice to her. If you keep this up, she'll take advantage of you," Mitchell scoffed, as if Shakira had got some big benefit from Yvette.
