The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 29

Yvette's expression turned strange as she reluctantly took the button, shoving it carelessly into her pocket. "What's Shakira doing at the hospital?"

"How would I know? I told her to come and apologize to you, but she had the nerve to-Jessie suddenly cut herself off, her face turning livid. She didn't continue.

After

a pause, Jessie added, "Is that necklace Shakira wore when she was in Belaris still with you? You should wear it when you get back."

"That's

just a temporary fix! Am I supposed to spend my whole life using the trash Shakira throws away?" Yvette was frustrated.

"I know you don't like using her things, but what else can we do? Ever since Shakira had turned rebellious, Yvette's luck had taken a nosedive, one bad thing after another. It was fate. Yvette's face twisted with bitterness and resentment. "Why does Shakira have such a blessed life, while I'm stuck with all this bad luck? This is so unfair-

Jessie quickly covered her mouth before she could say more crazy things. "Don't talk nonsense. With me, your dad, and your grandpa, you're the one with good fortune. Just hold on for a bit longer. We'll find a way to deal with her!" Inside the Maybach, the atmosphere was stifling. Walter had come up empty-handed and was in a foul mood. This tall man, well over six feet, sat there like an iceberg, his cold aura chilling anyone who dared to approach. Shakira, basking in the icy air, was quietly lost in thought when her phone suddenly pinged with a message. Sean had sent a news link with an accompanying rant. [Damn! That woman's got no shame!] Shakira clicked on the link, raising an eyebrow slightly. It was a video uploaded by Yvette, using the official Nelson Group

account

The video showed Yvette, wearing a hospital gown, her face pale and fragile. Her eyes were still red from crying, a picture of pitiful beauty. She apologized to the public, explaining the forced circumstances behind her plagiarism and even offered an apology to Shakira.

In the

comment section below, it was clear that either the Nelson family or the Smith family had hired an army of trolls, with people showering Yvette with praise for her selflessness and sacrifice for the sake of her family. Shakira's face remained expressionless as she watched the video for a moment before closing it.

Sean sent another message: [Unbelievable! Some people in the comments are even saying you've forgiven her! What a joke!] Shakira was about to respond when Brian suddenly turned around from the front, addressing Walter. "Mr. Lopez, team couldn't recover the hospital's surveillance footage."
