The True Heiress's Return

17:09 Tue, Nov 19 R BB. Chapter 281

After returning to the villa, Shakira immediately went to find the kittens. They might have detected the scent of alcohol on her hands, as they weren't eager to be held and slipped away.

Shakira didn't push them and took the chance to make a video call to Matthew, thoroughly explaining the reasons for the recent events and willingly admitting her mistakes for causing the elders to worry about her. After Matthew heard the whole story, he wasn't angry. In fact, he felt completely at ease.

"As long as you're not upset, that's what counts. We were worried that you were troubled by those people, but now we know you're setting a trap for Yvette, and we feel relieved," Matthew said with a smile during the video call.

Ethan, who was pushed off the screen by Matthew, called out in a voice-over, "Way to go, Shakira. We're all supporting you." Shakira smiled warmly, knowing that the old folks were just worried about her being mistreated. Shakira said, "Don't worry. I won't let those people bother me."

Ethan nodded. "Exactly. Don't tolerate those people. Who would just take unnecessary anger for no reason?"

Matthew seemed to remember something and slightly held back his smile, cautiously advising her, "Now that the GUA has announced your involvement in special missions, you're likely to attract attention.

"I've talked to Kevin, and you don't need to attend the next filming sessions. Take some time to lay low."

Shakira knew what Matthew meant. "Okay."

Ethan squeezed into the frame at just the right moment, his large face taking up the screen. "Shakira, how about coming over to our agricultural research base for some fun?"

Not to be outdone, Barret added, "Who'd be interested in farming? Come check out the space research center to have your mind blown, Shakira."

Yael was feeling anxious, unable to compete with the two in front, pacing back and forth. "You two crafty old guys are up to no good, trying to lure Shakira into helping with your research. "Shakira, come to me instead. Train with me, build up your health, and indulge in fine dining!"

Matthew was fuming with anger. "What's happening here? I'm not dead yet. You're trying to take my student right in front of me?"
