The True Heiress's Return

In the end, Walter sends Shakira back to her room. There were too many prizes that she couldn't carry all of them back by herself. Their suite had two beds, and when Shakira saw her bed filled with toys, she was a bit frustrated. Walter teased with a playful smile, "With all these big and small ones, you'll have lots of company at night, right?"

Shakira blushed and quickly pushed him out the door. She was lightly annoyed and said. "Go have your meeting!" Walter laughed even more at her reaction.

When he returned to the top floor to change into a suit before heading out again, Benji and the others were sitting on the large, uniquely designed sofa in the living room and staring at their phones.

As soon as he walked in, they all looked up at him together with sly smiles.

Benji crossed his arms and deliberately spoke louder, "Well, well My brother has always been dulling and always criticizes my dating tips, but guess who's using them with his girlfriend now!" Calton said, "Who would've thought that Mr. Lopez, who's usually such a neat freak that he won't even share the same water bottle with others, is now happily enjoying his girlfriend's leftovers!" Gavin added, "I remember back in high school, not long after we started dating, someone said his future girlfriend would never like anything childish like toys. Look at him now."

Kyle echoed, "Seems like it's not his girlfriend who likes them, it's him!"

""Hahahaha!"

Walter didn't know what to say.

Noticing the confusion on his face, his younger brother Benji took pity on him and handed over his phone. It showed all kinds of photos taken by the entire company's employees who had spotted them from every angle in the mall. Afraid that Walter would get embarrassed and angry, Benji quickly said, "Walter, they were just surprised that you're dating. so they were chatting about it on our private site. Nothing got leaked, and it's New Year, so don't get mad." Walter glanced at the photos. He wasn't surprised. He had sensed they were being watched since they arrived at the food street, but he didn't stop them. There was nothing to hide. Still, he hadn't expected they'd do this.

Having enjoyed enough fun, Calton held back his laughter and said, "Alright, alright. Let's get someone to delete those photos before Mr. Lopez loses his temper."

They waited until now mainly to mock Walter when he was around. Benji was about to call the PR team when Walter raised his hand and said, "No need to delete them."

The others who were trying hard to hold back laughter were stunned. "What?"

Walter glanced at them calmly with a mocking expression and then went straight into the cloakroom.

It took a while for them to snap back to reality. They were all stunned. Benji smacked his forehead and said, "Oh no. Why do

I feel like my brother has become a love fool and doesn't even care about his reputation anymore?"

Gavin agreed. "I think you're right."

Even the proudest man would yield to love one day!

Xanthe declined Shakira's offer for an airport pickup and dragged her luggage to the hotel on her own. Shakira came downstairs to pick her up. Xanthe said. "Shakira, I missed you so much!"

As soon as they met, the enthusiastic Xanthe directly gave Shakira a hug Shakira struggled to breathe, took over Xanthe's suitcase, and led her toward the elevator with her still hanging on her body. Xanthe was stunned. She quickly jumped down and said, "Shakira, are you some kind of superhuman?"

Shakira mumbled, "You're even lighter than dolls."

Xanthe burst into laughter. "It's only been two weeks, and you've become such a sweet talker!"

After they entered the room, Xanthe's eyes widened in shock when she saw the bed filled with dolls. She said. "Wow! They weigh more than I do indeed!"

Then she blurted. "Wait, with all these toys, how did you and Mr Lopez manage to sleep last night?"

"I slept here alone last night," Shakira said while staring at her speechlessly. "What are you imagining?" Xanthe said, "Ahem! I'm not. I even delayed my visit by a day to hot interrupt your precious alone time." Shakira was speechless. "... Thanks for that."

After a short rest, Xanthe heard about the wonderful food district downstairs and insisted on checking it out. Shakira led her down and pointed out what she thought was delicious and what wasn't so great. Xanthe was surprised. "You've tried all of these?"

Shakira said, "Almost, except for a few that we can see in Crescentville. The rest I tried earlier this afternoon with Walter."

Xanthe was even more shocked. "Mr. Lopez is awesome! He finished all the food for you?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She laughed at Sean in her mind, "That weak playboy. He can't even eat through half a street's food, let alone claw dolls. How dare he seriously consider being a rival to Mr. Lopez?' Sean sneezed several times in a row in Crescentville.

The two of them bought a bunch of snacks to take back to their room. Just as they turned the corner, Xanthe's eyes lit up. "Hey, there's a Wonderland store here! I want to check it out." Shakira said, "Sure."

Wonderland started in the last century with diamonds and now has a history spanning hundreds of years. It was one of the world's top luxury diamond brands.

The two of them were just about to walk into the store when two young guys, with their arms around each other's shoulders, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bumped into them. Shakira's lower body was firm, and she quickly grabbed Xanthe, who stumbled back and almost fell.

The two men shouted, "Watch where you're going!"

They acted as if they weren't the guilty ones. They looked back and glared at them while cursing. Then they just walked

away.

Xanthe was really angry. Seeing that she wasn't hurt, Shakira didn't say much more.

Then they stepped into the store. The saleswoman noticed Xanthe's expensive accessories and then eagerly introduced the products. Xanthe quickly picked out several ones she liked. After asking Shakira for advice, she decided to buy them all Xanthe said, "I did better on my exams this time, so my dad has given me a lot of allowance."

Shakira smiled. However, Xanthe suddenly paused as she reached into her bag.

She exclaimed, "Where's my phone?!"

Realizing what had happened, Xanthe took out everything in her bag. "My phone and wallet are gone! How could it be?"

Shakira immediately thought of something and said, "It was those two people from before."

She instinctively checked her pocket, only to find she had been a victim too. Her phone was also gone. Those two had such impressive pickpocketing skills.

The saleswoman awkwardly looked at them. She didn't know who they were, so she just smiled and asked, "Do you want me to call the police for you?"

Before they could reply, a male voice sounded, "No need. They can't afford anything and just came in to show off."
