The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 321

At Veiled Vine, Shakira worried Sean might find out the truth, causing a scene. She then figured it'd be better to tell him directly. She hadn't expected Walter to have invited Sean as a guest today.

Lost in thought, Shakira jumped at Sean's intense call. She stepped out onto the balcony to answer. Sean didn't let her speak. "This is unacceptable! We need to clear things up today. What do you mean the little maid is you?"

His last words were nearly a shout. Shakira dropped any pretense. "It means exactly what you think. After leaving the Nelsons, I went to the Lopez family."

Sean looked pained, clutching his chest. "So you've been avoiding us because you're working as a maid?"

"Yes," Shakira replied firmly.

"Shakira, I never thought you'd indulge in something so odd!"

After a moment, Shakira said, "It's complicated. I chose to stay with Walter. If you're mad, be mad at me."

Sean took a deep breath. "Shakira, do you really like Walter?"

Leaning against the railing, Shakira gazed at the city lights. Every word she spoke was clear and resolute. "Yes, I really like Walter, and my feelings are serious." Sean struggled to accept it. "If that's true, why not go public?"

Shakira rubbed her temples in frustration. "I'm interning at Lopez Group. If I reveal this, I can't work properly. I want to avoid complications."

Sean knew Shakira well. Still, he didn't expect her reluctance was due to work. He had to admit it: Shakira cared for Walter enough to become a maid.

Imagining Shakira submitting to Walter sent chills down his spine. A reality he never dreamed of was now in front of him.,

"Let's put this aside for now. I'll explain and apologize when we meet next." Shakira hung up, only to find Walter's intense gaze on her.
