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.
