The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 58

He used to think just like his parents and grandparents.

He believed Shakira was always targeting Yvette, bullying her, and being too aggressive.

Shakira didn't say a word; she just sat there like a statue.

r's patience was gone, and he warned sharply. "Shakira!"

The car was filled with an intense, icy atmosphere.

Brian, in the front passenger seat, wanted to suggest Shakira apologize, but when he turned around, he was shocked. "Mr. Lopez, Ms. Nelson..." "What, are you going to plead for her too?"
