The True Heiress's Return

Heiress’s Return 346

Chapter 346

On the screen, the last known location of Xanthe's phone quickly appeared-it was on the street where they had parted ways yesterday. Shakira's expression suddenly darkened. Something ust have happened to Xanthe.. Shakira thought, 'Who could it be? Yvette, Berry, or...?' She had strong feeling that it was connected to herself, and Xanthe had been drawn into it innocently.

Suddenly, the phone she was gripping rang, showing an unknown number. Shakira answered without hesitation.

The voice on the other end immediately started yelling angrily.

"You heartless snake. You did it on purpose? You drove Yvette into a corner, made her lose face in front of the whole department, and now the entire Lopez Group is mocking her. How is she supposed to go to work?" shouted Mrs. Nelson. Listening to the cruel scolding, the hope that had just risen in Shakira's heart fell to the bottom. Her face was calm, showing no emotion. "Yvette brought this on herself. Mrs. Nelson, stop trying to pin it on others," said Shakira.

"You call me a good-for-nothing. What about the person who gave birth to me?" With that, she ended the call without a second thought and blocked the number with a single tap.

Rebecca was stunned by Shakira's retort. Coming back to her senses, she was incredibly angry and filled with rage as she tried to call back, only to find it couldn't be reached.

Rebecca was shaking with anger. "How can there be such a troublesome child in this world."

"Mom..." As soon as Yvette reached the office, she was bombarded with endless mockery and ridicule.

Angry and hurt, she rushed back home, with her face streaked with tears. She sobbed softly. "It's not Shakira's fault. It's all on me. If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have made such a mistake." "Nobody's perfect; everyone makes mistakes. It's the jerk who lied to you that's to blame. You're so innocent in this.

"Besides, Shakira and Sean have been working together for a while now. Why didn't 'Warmth' release a statement sooner? They called for a live competition just to embarrass you and drag your name through the mud." Rebecca was so furious that her chest was heaving with anger. Seeing Yvette looking so pitiful and wronged made her heart ache.

She gritted her teeth in frustration. "I can't believe the Lopez Group's employees have such poor character to attack you over this. A company like that isn't worth your time."

"No, Mom. I have to earn those internship credits, or I won't graduate." Yvette turned away, tears streaming down as she tried to hold them back by tilting her head upward.
