The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 98

Shakira was carefree and quickly moved past her emotions, soon drifting into sleep. Meanwhile, Walter, who had turned his back, remained silent, listening to the sounds behind him. As proud as he was, he expected Shakira to come and coax him, to admit her mistake and apologize, and he could reluctantly forgive her. However, he maintained this posture for a long time, and despite half of his body going numb, he still didn't hear her stir.

Walter's face was filled with brewing anger. When he finally turned around, he saw Shakira lying on her side, already curled up and sound asleep.

Walter thought, 'I must be insane for letting her move in to irritate me!'

In the hospital, Yvette only had external skin injuries, but the chief physician still advised her to stay in the hospital for observation overnight. Rebecca accompanied her for the night and when visiting hours were over, she reminded Yvette to take good care of herself before leaving.

As soon as the Nelson family left, the weakened Yvette immediately got out of bed, locked the door, and made a video call. Soon, Jessie appeared on the screen, her face swollen and speaking sluggishly, "Yvette, how are you? Do you think the Nelson family will blame you?"

Yvette smiled proudly, "Of course everyone feels sorry for me; they know this isn't my fault. Finn has already taken care of it."

She had overheard the commotion in the study during the day and learned that Lago had done something foolish behind her back. In a moment of desperation, she could only think of using a scapegoat to get out of it. Thankfully, the Nelson family didn't suspect her; they looked at her injuries with concern and felt sorry for her instead.

Jessie sighed in relief, "That's good to hear. Yvette, your dad is running out of options. You're the hope of our whole family; you can't mess this up!"

A flash of disdain crossed Yvette's eyes, "Who told you to take matters into your own hands with Shakira? You didn't even do it well; you deserve this!" 'If things had gone as planned and Shakira was ruined by that despicable pervert, I would have been delighted. But now, Lago and the others have failed and put themselves in danger! What bad luck!"
