The True Heiress's Return

Chapter

56

As soon as those words were spoken, the expressions of the others changed dramatically. The blush on Fiona's face turned into a furious glare.

"You- you're despicable! Shameless! How dare you slander and insult Walter!"

Fiona was so angry that she was shaking. Shakira couldn't help but laugh at the sight. She thought to herself, 'I'm just saying it, but Fiona acts like Walter has been terribly humiliated and violated. But in reality...

Shakira's smile grew even wider, and she decided to push Fiona's buttons even further. "It's all true. I didn't just touch his abs; I kissed his lips too. Don't let its thinness fool you-it's pretty nice to kiss. And there's more..."

"What else?" a cold, almost icy voice came from behind her. Shakira's smug smile froze on her face. She stood there, practically frozen for several seconds, before slowly turning around like a broken machine about to shut down. Somehow, a large group of people had appeared behind Shakira Walter, with his piercing glare that seemed to want to shoot Shakira through with a thousand arrows; Benji, with a satisfied smile on his face; Kyle, as gentle as a breeze; Joe, looking furious and unwilling; and several other rich second-generation heirs and servers Shakira had never seen before, all staring at Shakira with wide eyes.

Shakira was shocked.

"Was the world out to get her? Did they have to show up all at once like this?" She thought.

Walter's face was expressionless. "What else? Why don't you continue?"

Gathering her courage, Shakira forced a smile, though it looked rather strained. "N-nothing. There's nothing more." "Hmm, you were quite talkative just now. Now that I'm here, you have nothing to say?" Walter said with a hint of sarcasm. Shakira quickly lowered her head. At this critical moment, admitting defeat was the best option. "Mr. Lopez, I was wrong."

Benji opened his mouth, "Future-"

Walter shot him a cold glare, and Benji quickly swallowed his words. "Uh, I mean, what exactly did you do wrong?"

Shakira, following Benji's lead, tried to smooth things over. "I shouldn't have joked about Mr. Lopez. I truly know I was wrong."

"Walter, we can't just let this go!" Fiona walked over, trying to pout and appeal to Walter. "She dared to spread such lies and slander you in public. Luckily, only a few of us heard it this time, but if she keeps talking like that in the future and someone with ill intentions hears it, the Lopez family's reputation will be damaged!"

Shakira rubbed her nose and muttered, "I was just trying to rile you up. I wouldn't say such things in public."

Fiona glared at her. "You-"
