The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 148

To stop Xanthe from endless chattering, Shakira reluctantly bought her a strawberry cake in the end. The cream was smooth and the strawberries were sweet, and only then did Xanthe shift her attention. To be honest. Shakira never imagined she would be shopping and chatting with Xanthe one day. After all, not long ago, she was in a fierce confrontation with her to defend Yvette. Fate was funny thing Before they parted, Xanthe offered to pick her up on the day of the summit. Shakira thought for a moment. "Let's get in touch once we're at the venue."

Xanthe paused for a second, then suddenly realized something and tapped her head, understanding. "Right, I totally forgot, Mr. Lopez is also coming. He'd definitely be bringing you. I was foolishly offering to take you along as if I could compete with Mr. Lopez's influence."

Then she looked at Shakira with a touched expression. "Shakira, you're so kind. You even troubled Mr. Lopez just to give me support

Shakira was speechless.

The diplomatic summit for celebration was extremely grand. Early in the morning, all the major TV stations and major live streaming platforms had started broadcasting its progress.

Shakira chose a classic Chanel black and white outfit, with a scarf around her long, fair neck, looking both professional and elegant. As she went downstairs, she noticed the living room TV was already broadcasting the news live.

The main road had been closed off the night before for security reasons, allowing only official invitees to stay at the state guest house, while other business personnel had to go through multiple security checks to enter the venue.

Suddenly, the scene changed and the cars lined up for security checks moved aside to make way. Several sedans slowly stopped in front of the theater.

The live broadcast host excitedly announced, "The convoys of the National Seniors are coming toward our main venue and they are Matthew, Ethan, Yael, and Barret.

"These four National Seniors devoted themselves to the public sectors of our country during the reform era. They have been trailblazers and founders in medicine, agriculture, martial arts, and aviation, making significant contributions to the fast and thriving development of the basic public infrastructure of our country."

With the host's enthusiastic introduction, the convoys slowly came to a stop. Student representatives came forward to present flowers. They, dressed in traditional suits, entered the venue surrounded by the crowd

At the back, Ethan noticed a young student with a crooked hat. He gently reached out and straightened it. The child happily said. "Thank you."
