The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 127

Yvette's face turned pale as snow, and her smile was barely holding on.

She initially aimed to seize the opportunity to put Shakira down But to her surprise, Cody's boomerang attack came back to

hit her.

People on the table fell silent. Yvette tightly pressed her lips together and lowered her head, not daring to take a deep breath.

Because Shakira hit the nail on the head. Yvette kept saying she would work hard in the future to earn money, be good to her parents, and buy gifts for her brothers, yet over the years, she continued to spend the Nelson family's money extravagantly. Similarly, she used the same lines with Lago and Jessie. Before Lago ran into trouble, he had given her quite a bit of spending money.

Cody's expression darkened significantly, unable to find the words to refute, as nothing he could say would be right.

He looked down on Shakira, believing she could never afford such expensive brandy by herself.

But he forgot that Shakira had a gift for design, and just one sketch sold to a studio could earn her a considerable sum. He Iwas totally embarrassed.

Felix gave Shakira, who effortlessly silenced everyone with just one sentence, a deep look. He spoke casually, breaking the awkward silence, "Thanks for your gift."

With dinner nearly over, Mitchell, who had been waiting all evening, was starting to feel restless. He quietly urged, "Dad, shouldn't we talk about the important stuff now?"

"You brat, why the rush?" Cody scoffed, adjusted his expression, and finally looked directly at Shakira.

He spoke with the composed tone of an elder, casually starting the conversation, "We heard from Mitchell about the trap Lago and his wife set for you the other day. Hope you're alright now." Shakira smirked and said, "It's been so long, I've almost forgotten about it."

Lopez stepping in to help you out and even making you the largest shareholder in Lago's company, you should have vented all your frustrations by now." Shakira silently sneered and said,

about to get angry, but Mitchell called out to him softly, and Cody held back with effort. Cody looked at
