The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 89

Lago and Jessie were momentarily stunned, then hurriedly stood up. "Shakira, you're here! Please sit down!" Their faces wore flattering smiles never seen before. If Shakira hadn't been calm enough, she might have thought she was dreaming.

However, she kept a wary eye. 'I won't sit. Give me the card; I'm leaving right away." The reason she came here tonight was due to a message from Lago. He said the company was encountering some difficulties, and his personal credit was also problematic, with only 300 thousand dollars on hand, barely enough to cover Grandma Shi's medical expenses for a year. He wanted Shakira to keep it for him. If it weren't for Grandma Shl, Shakira wouldn't have come here at all. 'I don't lack that money, but it belongs to Grandma Shi; I must get it back for her

"You little brat, who comes in asking for money right away? You don't have any manners at all. Jessie covered her mouth, playfully scolding. Shakira tilted her head to look at her, retorting mockingly, "Shouldn't you be the one teaching me manners? The problem lies with you, Mrs. Smith."

Jessie still wanted to retort, but Lago quickly reprimanded her. "We've finally met Shakira; do you want to scare her away?" With that, he turned to Shakira with a smile, "Shakira, don't take your aunt's words to heart; she's just straightforward, no malice. Please sit down! A lot has happened lately. I've become accustomed to the ups and downs of human relationships, Indeed, things I couldn't have imagined before, I now see clearly. Most of all, I feel guilty towards you

Lago came in front of her, sighed deeply, his voice filled with helplessness and regret. "As parents, we didn't support or care for you properly while you were growing up. Now we understand the taste of being abandoned and betrayed; we can empathize with your emotions back then." Watching him trying to appeal to her reason and emotions, Shakira remained unmoved. "Mr. Smith, your acting skills are quite good," Shakira gave a rare compliment, extending her hand. "Give me the card."

Lago, who thought he had already moved her, was almost infuriated by Shakira's indifference. His face reddened as he took out a bank card from his pocket.

Just as Shakira accepted it, Lago didn't let go. "Shakira, we've ordered all your favorite dishes tonight; please stay and eat before you leave. We genuinely want to apologize to you."

"Yes, yes, it's all your favorites," Jessie chimed in quickly.

"Are you sure these are my favorites?" Shakira's voice turned cold, causing both of

the first time, buying her a princess dress and even bringing a stylist to do her makeup. He had uncharacteristically decided to take her to a business banquet. Shakira had felt overjoyed and touched, believing that after so long of trying, she had finally earned Lago's approval. Unfortunately, his rare kindness was just a way to push her into deep abyss disguised as a sweet trap! Shakira stepped aside, no longer lingering. "You all chat:
