The True Heiress's Return novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 

Berry, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly turned pale. For a moment, she stood there stiffly, not knowing how to proceed. 

Calton found it amusing. “Tsk, Mr. Lopez is really lacking in romantic understanding. She came all the way to find you!” 

Gavin chimed in with the wisdom of experience. “Exactly! You should be touched and say, ‘So I’m that important in your heart!” 

The man’s chiseled features were now taut. His icy gaze swept over the two friends laughing at him before finally landing on Berry, his patience wearing thin, showing signs of depletion. 

With the two “assistants providing commentary, Berry recalled the tricks Yvette had taught her, forcing herself to suppress her feelings and emitting a nasal sound. 

She lowered her eyes, struggling to hold back her grievances, “I was careless before, but Mr. Lopez, may I ask you for a 

favor 

“Speak” 

Berry slightly lowered her head. “Well… my parents are hosting dinner today to discuss a collaboration. They’ve tried several times, but the other party just won’t budge at the last moment. When they heard Mr. Lopez was here, they asked me to inquire… 

The more she spoke, the smaller her voice became, as if filled with extreme shame, but she felt she had no choice but to bring it up. “Could I borrow this opportunity to let Mr. Lopez accompany me down to the private room? If you’re there, the other party will definitely agree to the collaboration right away. After speaking, Berry carefully observed Walter’s expression. 

Seeing him maintain a serious face, unable to read his emotions, she seemed worried he might get angry and hurriedly added. “Im sorry, Mr. Lopez! I shouldn’t have made such unreasonable requests. Please forget I said anything!” 

This request was indeed too ridiculous for Walter. Not to mention that it was just a branch of the White family, even Kyle wouldn’t dare to use him so openly. 

Walter felt no particular emotion. After “finding” her, he had Brian investigate her situation in the White family. Berry’s parents favored males over females, and in her home, she was treated like a servant, bullied by her parents and brothers, constantly oppressed. It was because of him that Berry began to regain some attention and her life improved a bit. But after her recent arrogance, Walter couldn’t help but sneer, “You really think of me as a friend?” 

Walter listened to her pleading. Although he was displeased that she came over without greeting him, he suppressed his dissatisfaction 

He had promised before that he would help her. Even though she had now lost that memory and become so timid and helpless 

“Lead the way.” 

Berry was shocked, thinking she had misheard. “Mr. Lopez, are you saying…” 

“He’s saying he agreed to help you, you slow–witted one. How dare you even speak to Mr. Lopez?” Calton couldn’t help but laugh. 

Gavin stroked his chin, staring intently at Walter, increasingly meaningfully. “I never expected that the man who used to keep women at arm’s length, Mr. Lopez, would make an exception and be so shameless as to lend his face out.” 

Tll be back later to drink your wine.” Walter glanced at them and steered his wheelchair out

Berry’s face lit up, quickly following after him. “Thank you, Mr. Lopez” She felt as if she were stepping on cotton candy, her feet feeling dizzy. She was overwhelmed with happiness! After living for over a decade, she was experiencing for the first time what it felt like to be the center of attention, to be favored by a man who was the focus of everyone’s gaze! It was so wonderfull At Kyle’s welcome banquet, she could only watch with envy as Shakira was discussed. Now she had replaced Shakira, enjoying the ultimate honor that countless women dreamt of. The more she thought about it, the wider her smile grew, and her greed deepened. 

Meanwhile, downstairs at the hotel, a taxi stopped in front of the magnificent entrance. 

Shakira got out of the car, and after reporting her room number at the front desk, she was led to the restaurant private room on the fortieth floor. “Miss, the guest is in room 4004 ahead.” 

“Okay.” Just as Shakira took a step, a charming voice came from behind her. “Mr. Lopez, over here. 

Shakira paused, turning to see Berry, whose face was glowing with happiness, glancing back at the man behind her. 

Shakira raised an eyebrow, just in time to see the man in the wheelchair looking directly at her, his gaze unwavering. 

Across the two or three meters of hotel corridor, their eyes met. So, the young master isn’t having dinner at home but has an appointment with a beauty?” Shakira said meaningfully, stretching her tone. Watching the fleeting look of shock and panic on Berry’s face, Shakira couldn’t help but laugh. Tm really curious, how did the timid Berry suddenly grow a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall? She dares to deceive Walter. Isn’t she afraid of exposing the truth and losing everything“” 

Berry quickly regained her composure and took the initiative, Tinvited Mr. Lopez, Shakira, are you going to question Mr. Lopez now?” 

Shakira crossed her arms. “You said it, I didn’t confirm it! 

Berry was flustered by her ambiguous tone and instinctively glanced at Walter. 

To her surprise, Walter didn’t notice her at all, his deep gaze fixated on Shakira. He furrowed his brows, “What are you doing here?”
