The True Heiress's Return novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 

Walter down to make up with a woman? That’s just not Happening. 

They both stayed silent all the way home. Once back at the villa, Shakira quickly went into the bathroom, getting there before Walter. Hearing the door lock click, Walter turned away with a sullen look and left the bedroom.

During dinner in the evening, the two of them were also unusually quiet. No one spoke. They only ate the food in front of them, which was very different from the sweet state they had been in these days. 

Levi noticed this and felt worried. He thought. They had just started dating, weren’t they supposed to be in the honeymoon phase? How could they have a cold war?” 

More anxious than the couple themselves, Levi quickly pulled Brian aside and asked, “Hey, what happened? Why are you having a tiff when everything was fine?” 

Brian briefly explained the situation, analyzed it a bit, and then asked, “Levi, why do you think Ms. Nelson is upset?” 

Compared to these young people, Levi understood more about human nature and quickly figured it out. 

“Ms. Nelson really loves those kittens, She was so nervous that the kittens might get sick that she didn’t care about getting caught in the rain. Mr. Lopez was worried about Ms. Nelson and was angry that Ms. Nelson didn’t care about her own body… 

Levi sighed softly. “Probably because Mr. Lopez was in a hurry and his tone was a bit heavy, which made Ms. Nelson unhappy 

Brian nodded, somewhat getting the gist of it. Over there, the two of them had already finished dinner. Shakira cleaned up her things and left, still not even glancing at Walter. 

Levi and Brian looked at the expression on Mr. Lopez’s face. Obviously, he was sulking and didn’t want to lose his temper for not making things worse. This look was clearly because he was worried about adding fuel to the fire and was controlling/ his temper. 

Levi saw this and knew it wasn’t too serious, “I’ll talk to Mr. Benji Lopez and ask him to persuade Mr. Lopez.” 

Brian frowned, “But Mr. Lopez has said he won’t try to pacify Ms. Nelson. Can Benji really convince him?” 

“You’re still young and don’t understand. Mr. Lopez’s attitude is really just saying one thing but meaning another. He likely wants to make amends but doesn’t know how.” Levi patted Brian on the shoulder and quickly went to call Benji. 

Staying where he was, Brian thought it over for a while and gradually grasped what Levi meant. Of course, even if upset, Mr. Lopez would still tell the driver to turn up the heat after getting in the car, clearly showing that he cared about Ms. Nelson being wet and cold. 

Shakira didn’t go back to her room but sat by the real fire fireplace in the living room, wrapped in a blanket and watching TV. It rained today and the temperature dropped by five or six degrees. Looking at the news about Haruca Hospital reported on TV, her mind wandered. 

She subconsciously took out her phone and opened the monitoring, looking at the empty screen. After finding the mother cat, maybe they wouldn’t come back. Shakira felt a bit lonely and her finger stopped on the food–dispensing button that she had habitually clicked these days. 

A small handful of cat food fell out. Shakira watched for a while and then exited the app 

The news continued covering events at Haruca Hospital but then switched to Kevin. 

He looked serious, saying, “Due to Fiona’s harmful actions that severely affected the hospital and Dr. Lonely Bird, our team

is canceling all investment partnerships with the Banks family. 

“We’ve also reached out to lawyers to seek accountability and compensation for the damage Fiona caused us!” 

Π 

The camera then shifted to Michael, whose comments echoed those of Kevin. He condemned Fiona’s malicious actions and would pursue the losses and responsibilities she caused and anounced the end of all collaborations with the Banks family. 

As for her accomplice, Howard, he was directly fired and would never be hired by other major hospitals in cooperation. 

Fiona and the Banks family quickly found themselves caught in whirlwind of public criticism. It’s almost certain that the Banks family’s stock price will drop tomorrow. 

Shakira watched quietly with no emotional fluctuations in her heart. 

Just then, her phone buzzed with an incoming voice call from Matthew. Shakira glanced at the living room and quietly answered. 

Matthew spoke slowly, “Hey kiddo, had a tough day?” 

A warmth spread through Shakira’s heart. She knew that Matthew was referring to the matter of the Banks family. But somehow, she thought of Walter. Something was suppressing her heart and making her feel stuffy. 

She smiled and replied, “Nah, it’s all sorted out.” 

“Well, you’re always keeping things to yourself. When will you be able to act like a spoiled child to your master and let me help you get even?” 

Listening to Matthew’s childish words, Shakira couldn’t help but chuckle. 

She thought for a moment and jokingly replied. “You’ll have to give me a chance! Now that Kevin and Michael are determined to give Fiona a hard time. There must be your pressure behind this, right?” 

Shakira didn’t know much about the Banks family, but she had a general understanding. The Banks family started with medicine and occupied more than ninety percent shares in the medicine–related industries in Crescentville. 

Almost all hospitals in Crescentville, big and small, maintained a stable cooperative relationship with the Banks family. 

As for this program shooting, it was a task assigned by the Haruca Center, and the Banks family getting the sponsorship shows their significant connections there too. 

Michael and Kevin wouldn’t dare to cancel a deal with the Banks family on their own unless they had support from someone else. Otherwise, they wouldn’t make such a bold decision. 

Matthew huffed with arrogance, “My student has been bullied in front of everyone! How could I allow that? If she’s going to be vicious toward others, she should be ready to face all the risks that come with it!” 

Shakira murmured, “It was her own jealousy that blinded her, so she can’t blame anyone else. It’s a shame about the 

Innocent Selena.” 

“Well, she brought it on herself! She deserves it!” Matthew showed no sympathy. “Lapoke to the Banks family in Haruca. The parents of the Banks family are reasonable. 

“But They can’t stop Selena from spoiling the child secretly! Fion behaves so recklessly because of Selena’s indulgence. Fortunately, it’s her own family who suffers. Otherwise, someone else would’ve wrongfully taken the blame for their family!”
