The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 334

In front of others, Shakira obediently approached the desk. Walter drummed his fingers on the desk and said in a low voice, "Come closer."

Shakira was lost for words and had no choice but to walk around the desk and stand by his side. As her drifted upward, they were caught by a photo frame on the desk. Looking closer, she almost gasped in surprise. Shakira thought, 'Wasn't it-

In the next moment, a warm hand reached over and firmly held her right hand. Shakira stared at him in disbelief, but Walter pretended not to notice.

Not far away, Charles's group watched as Shakira stood beside Mr. Lopez, each feeling uneasy, unable to figure out Mr. Lopez's intentions.

Under the table, he held her hand tightly, yet on the surface, he remained distant and stern. He shot another disdainful look at Charles's group. "A bunch of fools, not even as good as a young girl." Everyone felt ashamed, unable to lift their heads after being scolded.

Benton, quick on his feet, was the first to bow. "Mr. Lopez, Mr. Reynolds, we made a serious mistake, almost missing the opportunity to collaborate with them. If only you can calm down, I'm willing to accept punishment. I apologize to Mr. Reynolds and Shakira."

The entire Marketing Department knew Benton was excellent at flattery. Seeing his move, the other two team leaders imitated him, bowing and apologizing to Shakira and Sean with genuine sincerity. Charles also made his position clear, offering a sincere apology. A group of executives all bowed their heads toward Shakira standing next to Walter, leaving David as the only one still standing up straight.

Walter swept his cold eyes over the bowed heads before settling on David. It was a casual glance but carried a hidden resolve.

David shuddered all over. Though full of frustration, he was unable to resist. He bent down. "I failed to recognize greatness and apologize to Mr. Reynolds and Shakira."

Seeing the neatly lined-up executives, Sean was awestruck and thought, 'Walter's move was harsh. He forced a group of executives to swallow their pride and apologize here, effectively blocking my path for negotiations based on their earlier negligence. Thinking about it, Sean whispered to Cathy, who was looking at him with bright eyes, "See, wasn't I right? Walter is so sneaky and underhanded."

Cathy looked at him like he was talking nonsense. "Are you blind"

"What?" Sean was completely baffled. "What the heck? Why are you insulting me?"

"How is Mr. Lopez sneaky? He's clearly supporting Shakira quietly."

Sean's entire worldview was shattered in disbelief. "What?"

Cathy looked at the clueless Sean. "Don't get it? He's making them apologize to you openly. Isn't he standing up Shakira actually? You should play fewer games and read more books like The Bossy CEO Fell For Me. That'll help you find a partner." "I think you're the one who's wrong," replied Sean.
