The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 320

Watching Sean and Walter about to clash, Shakira sighed heavily She looked at Sean before walking over to Walter and taking his arm. In a soft voice, she said, "Sean just messaged me about Xanthe. Don't overthink it."

Leaning close to Walter, she whispered, "Did you say something that made Sean think you liked Xanthe? That's why I replied like that." Walter, fuming, paused as he heard Shakira's calming words. Walter scoffed, "Sean just doesn't have common sense." Shakira was left speechless.

Walter's Instagram post clicked for Sean-it had the same cat photos Shakira had shared before. And that mysterious vehicle at Eastlake Valley Estate. Walter even showed up for the internship selection and the mountain outing.

All these events connected, revealing that Walter was that man. Despite all the clues right under his nose, Sean had been blissfully unaware until now.

Anger washed over Sean, like watching his prized veggies ripped out by a hedgehog. He felt like he might explode, but there wasn't much he could do against Walter. What hurt most was seeing Shakira comfort Walter while throwing Sean a warning look.

The difference in how they were treated left Sean feeling completely desolate. He thought, 'Walter is furious and feel the same! Shakira coddles this worthless guy too much!'

Just then, the waiter entered, setting the pre-ordered dishes down on the spinning table. Shakira asked, "Shall we eat first?" The two stayed locked in their standoff-one cold, the other boiling with rage.

Taking charge, Shakira sat down. "If you're not going to eat, I will! She started eating the pigeon, enjoying its crispy texture. Without a word, she took a pigeon leg and put it on Walter's plate, passing the remaining half to Sean.
