The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 12

Shakira called Sean.

On the other end, Sean was all smiles. "So, what do you think? Did you love the birthday gift I got you?"

Shakira laughed meaningfully. "I love it very much."

'She loves it! Very much!' Sean beamed with pride, feeling like he was floating.

Just as he soaked in his moment of glory, Shakira asked, "Where did those design submissions come from?"

Sean replied with excitement, "Oh, I got those through Yonder Digital. I made sure to screen the first drafts, and I only sent you the best picks. After all, your assistant needs to be top-notch."

Even though Sean wasn't an expert in fashion design, he was a huge fan of Shakira. To him, everything she did was gold. Even her assistant had to measure up.

Shakira sent him a screenshot. "Take a look at this person for me"

Sean checked the picture, his pride swelling again. "I saw real potential in this girl named 'Cherry' right away. You think her designs are good too, right?"

Shakira's eyes

darkened, her voice flat. "Her sketches are all mine."

""What?" Sean was stunned.

"When I went back to the Nelson residence, I took my old sketchbook with my past drafts. I even drew some new designs whenever I got bored. The submissions? They all came from my sketchbook," explained Shakira.

She just noticed her sketchbook vanished last night, and now, it had suddenly "shown up." Something felt off, and she couldn't shake the feeling.

Sean fell silent. Shakira could hear him typing heavily and she knew he was fuming.

After a moment, Sean spoke up, his voice cold. "You'll never guess who Cherry really is."

Shakira stayed cool. "Yvette."

"Damn! How did you figure that out so fast?"

"The sketchbook went missing at the Nelson residence. Only Yvette would be bold enough to use it for her submissions."
