The True Heiress's Return novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54
Berry was stiffened. It was only after Yvette discreetly nudged her arm that Berry regained her composure and stood up reluctantly.
The tutor said in an encouraging tone, “It’s okay. Just say whatever you think.”
Berry hesitated for a long moment before she slowly opened her mouth and began to stutter out words. However, her speech was totally incoherent and illogical compared with the one that Shakira had delivered. Sweat gradually collected on her forehead as she searched for words.
The tutor frowned slightly and said, “All right, sit down, please. I sugge
comments on other students.”
you’d better focus on yourself instead of making
Berry’s face turned bright red with embarrassment. She wished she could disappear under the desk. Yvette also kept her head down, not daring to say another word for fear of being called upon by the teacher to answer to get stuck in an embarrassing situation as well. Both of them felt pretty suffered and fretful in class. Finally, the class ended, the tutor deliberately came to Shakira’s seat and said something encouraging, and other top students also gathered around her desk. Watching the scene, Berry and Yvette clenched their teeth with jealousy.
“What’s the big deal to get a good score? Look at her face when she boasted about her experience in Belaris,” mocked Berry.
In a flash, something came into Berry’s mind and her face changed slightly as she linked the words of Belaris, two years, necklace together.
She grabbed Yvette’s wrist tightly, so hard that Yvette winced and cried out, “Berry, you’re hurting me!”
“Come with me!” said Berry forcefully.
Berry pulled Yvette to a corner of the terrace outside the teaching building and asked with a sullen face, “So, Shakira is the one that Walter’s been looking for, right?”
Yvette was surprised for a moment, then she laughed, “You’re quite smart.”
‘OMG! It’s true!’ thought Berry.
She quickly covered her mouth in case she shouted out. The next second, she lunged forward and grabbed Yvette’s neck, tightening her grip.
“Yvette, are you crazy? Shakira is right next to Walter, and you actually asked me to pretend to be the owner of the necklace. You’re trying to get me into trouble!” shouted Berry.
Berry couldn’t imagine what was going to happen if Walter found out the truth!
“Let go of me!” Yvette said through her teeth.
Watching Yvette’s face grow purple, Berry finally loosened her grip.
“Berry, do you want to kill me?” Yvette said, coughing violently.
“You got me into shit! What do you think!” said Berry.
Hearing this, Yvette couldn’t help but sneer. “What are you afraid of? Shakira is right under Walter’s nose, but Walter’s still looking for her madly. Do you know what it means? Walter has no idea who Shakira is and Shakira doesn’t know he’s looking for her.”
Berry got confused and mumbled, “How can that be? Aren’t they

Yvette said with disdain, “Shakira is just a maid. Probably she has no chance to see Walter at all, let alone speak to him. If she knew that she had saved his life and he’s looking for her now, do you think she would let go of such a great opportunity?”
Yvette fixed her eyes on Berry and added, “Just like you, your family treats you totally differently due to a few words of Walter. Now, you even get the opportunity to see Kyle. Are you willing to be trampled by a maid now?”
Berry panted and clenched her fists, confirming, “Are you sure they don’t know each other so far?”
“Rest assured, they won’t find out too,” said Yvette confidently.
Afraid that Berry would mess things up, she added, “I’ve gotten the necklace when Shakira was brought back. I promise no one will find it out.”
Only then did Berry finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“But…” Yvette paused here deliberately and moved on, “Just in case, you know we’d better do something to keep it a secret forever. Now we are in the same boat, Berry, you are a smart girl, you should know what we need to do, right?”
Thinking of the embarrassing experience she just had in class and the harsh comments on her by other students when they compared her with Shakira, Berry snorted, “Walter belongs to me! Shakira must disappear!” A malicious smile touched her lips.
Berry thought with a malicious smile, ‘As long as Shakira disappears forever, no one will know the truth!’
Shakira could finally get a break after she didn’t have to make dinner for Walter. Then she started to sort out the items she brought from home. She didn’t have too many things but she had been lacking time checking her stuff since she came back. After going through all her packages and reorganizing them, Shakira surprisingly found that she had lost many small items Most of them were bought or gotten in Belaris, What surprised her the most was that she found her shell necklace nowhere!
Shakira’s
s turned red and she cursed, “damn it, it must be Yvette. Why didn’t I find it out earlie
When Shakira got annoyed and frustrated, someone outside, “Ms. Nelson, may I talk to you now?”
Shakira took a deep breath and opened the door, only to see a young maid. “What’s the matter?” asked Shakira.
“Ms. Nelson, could you do me a favor…” the maid said timidly, not even daring to look up at Shakira. “I have a distant relative who has a strange disease. His legs get red rush, which causes no pain, but every morning when he wakes up, his limbs get numb. It takes a while to recover. He has done a lot of examinations and taken a lot of medicine, but it didn’t work. I’m wondering if you can help me take a look at him. Is it okay?”
“Of course, no problem,” Shakira answered directly, looking at the time and adding, “Give me the address, and I’ll
go
now.”
“Okay! Thank you, Ms. Nelson!” the maid said excitedly.
Half an hour later, Shakira arrived in the old city area.
Crescentville had witnessed a dramatic change in the past 20 years, the city expanding as twice as large as it used to be, the city center moving to the east. Now, the old city area looked somewhat tattered and chaotic.
There are many vendors along the side of the roads. Since the car was too eye-catching, Shakira asked the driver to park it in the parking lot of the mall and wait for her over there while she headed to her destination alone,
Shakira walked up and down narrow alleys according to the digital map. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and put away her mobile phone, walking forward into a dead-end alley.
She turned around slowly in an attempt to leave but was blocked by three big men.
