The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 280

Before Rebecca could step forward, Brian and the others had already stopped her, not letting her get closer. Not far away, Cody and Felix also walked over quickly, their faces cold and stern. Shakira looked at Rebecca's weary and worried expression, a cold smile forming on her lips as she replied, "No way."

Rebecca's eyes narrowed sharply, and she exploded in anger. "Shakira, do you have any humanity left? Yvette was framed and is about to lose her life, yet you're making such heartless comments?" Shakira snapped, "She brought it on herself, She can't blame anyone else."

"What do you know about those grudges? Right now, Yvette's kidneys are severely damaged. We only ask for one kidney from you. At this critical moment, are you really going to stand by and watch her die?"

Before Shakira could respond, Walter, filled with anger, spoke sharply, his strong presence pressing down on Rebecca, "Losing a kidney won't kill her, so stop being so dramatic."

The familiar yet strange words surprised Shakira, and she turned to look intently at Walter. Those words were once used by Mitchell to mock her. Now, Walter used them to protect her. A warm feeling slowly spread through her heart. Rebecca's lips trembled as she instinctively said, "Yvette and Shakira are not the same. Yvette's health is already fragile, and losing a kidney would only make things harder for her..."

Walter never held back his harsh words and retorted, "If she can't handle it, just die."

Rebecca's face was pale with anger. She forcefully swallowed the curses on the tip of her tongue, not daring to utter a single word of defiance to Walter. She simply couldn't afford to offend him.

'Damn, that bitch must have learned the news early and intentionally stayed close to Walter. I can't do anything to her, thought Rebecca.

"Mr. Lopez." Cody and Felix walked over with serious expressions. Felix looked completely exhausted. "This is a personal matter for the Nelson family, so we kindly ask Mr. Lopez..."

"When did

my

fiancée become part of your family? Your way of trying to cozy up is really pathetic," Walter mocked coldly.

Felix didn't expect to be scolded. "You!"

Cody raised his hand to calm his son, signaling him not to act impulsively. Stepping forward, he forced a smile.
