Chapter 198

Shakira was the first to see the words, her lips twitching slightly. Soon after, she heard the emcee's voice echoing through the hall. "The result of Shakira's draw is... Lopez Group! Congratulations to Shakira."

Yvette's eyes widened, her face looking extremely unpleasant! Walter heard the result and unconsciously tightened his large hand on the wheelchair handle before silently relaxing.

At that moment, he surprisingly felt nervous too.

If it was the White family, the Jennings family, or the Clifton family, that would be fine. But if it's the Ortiz Group or Yonder Digital... Just thinking about that possibility made Walter's eyes dark and ominous.

The auditorium erupted in thunderous applause, and it took a while for Calton to snap out of his daze. "No way! None of us got picked?" He looked around suspiciously, stnirking. "Could it be that Mr. Lopez secretly cheated?" Sean quickly turned his head. A smirk with a touch of sarcasm appeared on Walter's stern face. "Can't handle a loss?"

With a chuckle, Calton gave a small bow and remained silent. Sean shot a glare at Walter and was upset.

Amid the thunderous applause and everyone's gaze, Shakira calmly returned to her seat. The surrounding murmurs were full of envy, admiration, and jealousy, but to her, it was nothing to care about.

Xanthe grabbed Shakira's arm, shaking it eagerly. "Shakira, you're incredible!! You have no idea, when Mr. Lopez and the others were competing for you, I swear, every student wished they could be you!" Shakira chuckled, "Is it really that over the top?"

Xanthe wagged her finger and said, "Oh, come on, being picked by Mr. Lopez to intern at the Lopez Group alone is enough to make everyone envious, let alone the fact that the heads of other big families are specifically asking for you too!"

As Xanthe spoke, she couldn't help but giggle and pointed to the back seat. "I bet Yvette is going to be insanely jealous." Shakira raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Xanthe was just considering gathering her family for dinner when her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Xanthe quickly answered it, turning away from Enrique's direction. "What?!" Sean said straight away, "I saw it!" Xanthe jumped in surprise and asked,
