The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 196

Before Shakira could fully process it, she saw Walter sit down next to Sean, and her scalp tingled. She thought, 'Oh no, he's sitting with Sean? Are they going to cause some issues...?

The moment Walter appeared, Sean lifted his chin and stared intently at Walter who was in the wheelchair and thought Walter seemed hard to get along with.

After Walter took his seat, Sean could feel the intense vibe coming from Walter. Unavoidably, Sean's gaze became more curious as he scrutinized Walter.

There were quite a few famous people in Crescentville, and he was run into Walter at several events. Honestly, he respected Walter.

Walter became famous at a young age, disappeared for a few years, and then came back with a leg injury.

Although his personality changed a lot, his courage and skills were remarkable. With him in charge, it seemed nobody would surpass the Lopez Group for years.

"Mr. Lopez, I've heard so much about you." Sean greeted warmly

Walter slightly turned his head, glanced at Sean, and then looked away again, maintaining his aloof demeanor. Sean's lips twitched.

Benji peeked his head out and warmly extended his hand to Sean. "Hello, Mr. Reynolds. I've always heard you're young and talented, but we never had a chance to meet. Quite a coincidence today, right?"

Benji chuckled softly, "My brother has a bit of a temper. Mr. Reynolds, hope it doesn't bother you."

Sean chuckled along, "It was impulsive of me. I'm glad I didn't offend Mr. Lopez."

Feeling the urge to gossip, Benji couldn't resist asking, "What brings Mr. Reynolds here today? Could it be that you came especially for someone?"

Sean straightened his suit, standing confidently, and said, "You're right."

Benji's eyes brightened, itching to gossip about which student Sean was there for, when Walter, who had been maintaining a serious demeanor, suddenly and coldly cut in. "In this kind of setting, Mr. Reynolds, it might be wise to hold back." Walter spoke each word with caution and there was an undertone of warning, "If something embarrassing happens, it won't be a good look."

Sean's smile froze and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Lopez?"

Benji felt a hint of trouble and wondered what his big brother was doing.

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" Benji quickly reached out his arm to block the way. "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Reynolds. Walter speaks his mind. He was just giving you a friendly reminder.

"Honestly, given today's occasion, it's best to keep a low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble for the person you care about."

Sean scoffed and said, "I already know that, Mr. Lopez. No need for reminders!"

Patrick slowly made his way to the stage with the help of an assistant and began his speech.
