The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 119

Calton and his friends were disappointed immediately. 'Not the young maid, it's no fun at all, they thought.

Walter was clearly a bit disappointed too, his tone indifferent. "It's fine, go ahead."

Berry hesitated on the other end. "Mr. Lopez, I, I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. Can we meet?"

Calton hushed nosily while Walter frowned. "Is there something going on?"

"No, I don't want to bother you, Mr. quicker, but lately, I haven't been sleeping well, and my headaches are severe. I was hoping I'd remember something, but it's still not clear." Opez. I just wanted to see you... You told me to rest and heal so I'd regain my memory

Hearing Berry's words, Kyle frowned deeply. Walter thought for a moment. "I understand. Tomorrow, I'll have Brian find a neurospecialist to give you a thorough check-up." Berry was completely stunned by Walter's unexpected response. "Mr. Lopez, I..."

"I'm still in a meeting, you go ahead and rest." With that, he hung up. On the other end, Berry was shocked, and so were Calton and his friends on the Veiled Vine's side.

"Oh really, testing your patience? We've been talking about you for a while now and you're not angry. If I said you liked that... what's-her-name, wouldn't you strangle me?"

Calton had just finished his teasing words when Walter shot him a glare that was ice-cold. Calton zipped his lips immediately. Kyle tried to smooth things over, "Alright, let's continue the meeting. The sooner we finish, the sooner we ger to go home. You guys chat, I'll head to the kitchen to check on something."

Walter said, "Thanks." Hearing this, Kyle gave Walter a pat on the shoulder and got up to leave.
