The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 160

Fiona was frozen in place as if struck by a bolt of lightning. "What?" Walter didn't say much but gave Brian a look. Brian quickly pulled out a check and handed it to Fiona. "You've worked hard for me. This is a 30 million dollar reward for you. Before Fiona could react, Walter had left.
