The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 304

Walter timed his retreat perfectly, just within the limits Shakira could accept. Her cheeks were flushed red,

tinged with a beautiful Inue.

The previous coldness and ruthlessness she showed while punishing Ted had now completely turned into gentle

affection.

He held her shoulders, allowing her to rest against his chest and breathe steadily. Shakira played with the special

gold button on his shirt. "What made you think to cover?* Walter answered honestly. "I was worried you

might drink tonight; | couldn't stop worrying."

"Well, alright. | only had a little bit," she insisted, defending her innocence.

Walter raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure it's not because you knew | was here, so you didn't dare to drink

more?"

Shakira thought, 'Does he really need to be so blunt? That's kind of harsh!

Shakira paused for a moment, remembering Benji had pleaded with her for help. "Benji just messagedan

apology. I've decided to forgive him."

Walter smirked. "He knows how to get away with things."

Shakira found his remark amusing. "Is it possible that you're just being strict as a big brother? It's not really a big

issue, so you don't have to be so critical."

"If I hadn't handled it in time, who can assure this wouldn't have caused a rift between us?" Walter said coldly.

If Shakira had been more spoiled or unreasonable, and if they hadn't always opted to talk things out, Fiona's

presence would have been an unpredictable ticking tbomb between them.

Shakira reflected and said, "Even if something happens, Benji isn't really at fault. The real culprit is Fiona."

"Fiona is evil, while Benji is just stupid," Walter said, not hiding his disdain.

From his tone, Shakira could tell he was genuinely angry. No wonder Benji cto her for help; he must have

realized he messed up this time.

Shakira blinked playfully and asked, "So, are you not planning to forgive Benji?"

Before Walter could answer, she sighed tically, as if she had no other choice, "Looks like I'll have to

apologize to him after all. He beggedfor so long, saying you'd listen to me. But it turns out he overestimated

me." Walter gave her nose a playful poke, seeing through her instantly. "You little fox, trying to set a trap for

me?"

Shakira stuck out her tongue, her bright eyes sparkling mischievously. "This trap is designed just for you, sir. Are

you going to fall for it or not?"

Walter tenderly held her captivating face and leaned down to kiss her again. "How could | possibly turn down

your request?" After Walter left with Shakira, the others, including Benji all departed about half an hour later. As

the key figures left the scene and they had worked the next day, everyone decided to wrap it up for the night.

Larry didn't drink any alcohol, and Rachel obediently sipped on juice. Only Xanthe enjoyed a few cocktails,

getting slightly tipsy. The two of them decided to hail a cab to take Xanthe home.

Once they got there, Rachel had already fallen asleep. Larry took off his jacket to cover her and asked the driver

to wait. He helped Xanthe out of the car.

It was late at night, and since it was Larry's first tin this neighborhood, he was unsure of the building

numbers. He steadied Xanthe against a wall and gently tapped her cheek. "Which building is yours?" 70%

Xanthe squinted her eyes and mumbled something. He couldn't quite catch what she said, so when he leaned

closer to hear her better.

Just then, he heard hurried footsteps coming from behind. Reading quickly, he spun around while holding Xanthe

halfway.

At that moment, he finally saw who was the person. Larry was slightly taken aback as the man had appeared on

the covers of financial magazines multiple times-the entrepreneur of the year.

It was Sean, the leader of Yonder Digital. Frowning, Larry looked at him warily, "Mr. Reynolds, what are you trying

to do?"

Sean noticed Xanthe, who was nearly collapsing into Larry's arms and stumbling unsteadily. His usually

composed face turned serious immediately. He asked Larry, "Hand her over."

With a tense expression, Larry was about to confront Sean when Xanthe suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked at Larry, then at Sean, and quickly regained her balance. In a few steps, she walked up to Sean and

slapped the back of his head. The slap echoed loudly. Larry and Sean were both surprised.

Sean grabbed Xanthe's hand and pulled her into his arms, gritting his teeth. "You crazy woman, I'm helping you

and you hit

me?"

"Of course | hit you!" Xanthe retorted confidently, "Not only did you bully me, but you also picked on my

coworker. I'm not a pushover."

"Even if you're a pushover, you're a dangerous one," Sean retorted, holding his head in frustration.

Xanthe ignored him, her face puffed up with anger. When she looked at Larry, she was all smiles, "Larry, I'm

hnow. You guys should go back and drive safely." After saying this, she let out a loud belch that nearly

knocked Sean out.

Larry gave her a serious look for a few moments before nodding. "Alright, get srest. See you tomorrow."

"Bye," Xanthe continued waving with a smile, even after Larry got into the car.

Sean put down her arm, quite annoyed. "That skinny twig can run with the wind. Do you really think you can lean

on him without squashing him flat?"

Xanthe instantly wore a fierce face, her big, bright eyes staring at him without blinking. Sean was startled. "Why

are you looking atlike that?"

"Why should | respond to you? We're over!" Xanthe said. "You think it's over just because you say so? No way,"

Sean said.

Sean glanced at her, noticing her glaring at him fiercely. It felt kind of funny. He thought he'd be angry seeing her

when he was on his way here.

But when he actually saw Xanthe, he found it pretty amusing. Sean thought, 'She looks like a drunken fool. It is

quite entertaining.

Sean smiled, and just as he was about to speak, a sharp pain shot up from his left foot. His face twisted because

of the pain. 17:01 Thu, Nov 28BB.

Xanthe stomped on Sears fancy handmade leather shoe twice. The pain sent Sean sprawling to the ground.

"Xanthe! You crazy woman!" Sean said. "Wrong. I'm your master

Xanthe looked up, ignoring his cries, and strutted back to her huge. She thought, I didn't teach him a lesson last

time, but this tis satisfying.

Sean stayed put, clutching his foot. He bit his lip hard to avoid crying out loud. If someone recognized him, it

would be too embarrassing.
