The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 100

The air in the study was quiet to the extreme, and Berry's voice coming from the phone speaker sounded especially sharp and grating. On the other end, with a tone that seemed to assume Walter would handle it as a matter of course, Shakira listened, her beautiful face gradually breaking into an increasingly cold smile. Meanwhile, her gaze turned towards Walter. She seemed to have anticipated this outcome. 'Walter had Brian deal with Lago, which was just him protecting his own interests, feeling like his possessions were infringed upon. But Berry is different. She is the one he spent so much effort finding. Compared to me, the maid he could easily do away with, what's the comparison?' Unconsciously, Shakira didn't even realize she had developed a hint of self-mockery at the corners of her lips. Similarly, Walter's instinctive reaction was to raise his eyes to look at Shakira. Upon seeing the obvious curve at the corners of her lips, the man's dark pupils constricted sharply. As clever as he was, how could he not understand the deeper meaning behind her reaction? Before I give an answer, she has already assumed I would help Berry? This woman!' Walter slightly narrowed his eyes, feeling even more anger rising in his chest. Not knowing that the tension on the other end of the call was growing, Berry hesitantly asked, "Mr. Lopez? Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you." "Walter asked gravely, "Did Yvette send you to find me?"

"No, Yvette is kind-hearted; how could she make things difficult for me? I want to help her." Berry explained urgently, fearing Walter misunderstood Yvette. In her mind, she thought, I'm thinking purely of others; Mr. Lopez will surely appreciate this, right?' Just as a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she heard the man's voice again on the other end, "Since it has nothing to do with you, don't meddle in other people's affairs." Berry was stunned, completely not expecting Walter to refuse her.

Walter mercilessly criticized, "Think a little before helping others; not everyone is worth wasting my goodwill on." After saying this, he didn't wait for Berry to speak again and hung up the phone. was Berry on the other end

seeing Yvette's name flashing on the screen, a look of irritation appeared in her eyes. 'Mr. Lopez's attitude was clearly angry! All of this is Yvette's fault! She dragged me into this mess! I shouldn't have listened to her and asked Mr. Lopez for help; now I've definitely left a bad impression on him!' With frustration building inside, Berry reluctantly answered the call, her tone charged, "What's up? Yvette heard her voice and had already guessed the outcome. A smirk appeared on her face.
