The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 263

Yvette's words didn't awaken even a shred of conscience or sympathy in Lago. Instead, he acted like a rat-catching the scent of meat, eager and impatient.

He said excitedly. "See, this is our chance! My dear daughter, the Nelson family even abandoned their own daughter. How long can you even count on them?

"The priority now is to quickly channel all the Nelson family's resources and funds into ours-that's the only way they will fully be yours!"

The bewitching voice echoed from the phone, and Yvette's twister reflection in the mirror gradually relaxed. She said. "Wait for my call."

Lago laughed out loud and replied, "I knew my precious daughter would find a way. Our family is counting on you!" Yvette's face flashed with disgust at Lago's affectionate words.

Suddenly, she thought of something, squinted her eyes, and said. "What about Jessie? Ask her if her last method didn't work. I thought I had already taken Shakira's fortune. Why is she still doing just fine?"

Yvette was filled with anger at the sight of Shakira living happily by Walter's side.

She thought, 'How could someone as low and insignificant as Shakira possibly be with someone as noble and prominent as Walter? Without him, she'd have nothing to stand against me.'

Lago's tone turned helpless. "Your grandfather already said she was born to live a charmed life. No matter how much luck you've taken from her, she'll keep attracting more. The only permanent solution to claim her luck is through a blood ritual, or..."

His voice turned eerie and sinister as he added, "Or kill her."

Yvette gave a faint smile. "I'll make her disappear. But before that... I should at least make use of her, so nothing goes to waste." After hanging up, she touched up her makeup and left the restroom.

Shortly after, Shakira stepped out from the second-to-last stall, her expression cold. She washed her hands and left.
