Chapter 47
"Got it." Brian nodded and immediately turned to leave..
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spine after hearing Walter's words. It was hard to imagine that this once infamous big shot in Crescentville still had such an intimidating aura even after losing his legs. Xanthe and Berry had never encountered such an incident. They just wanted to drive Shakira out, fearing she would stay and cause more trouble, but they never expected Walter to cond to defend her. Yvette panicked. She hated Shakira deeply and was afraid that Brian would uncover the truth. If it were exposed in front of so many people, she would be done. Therefore, Yvette suggested, "Don't bother, Mr. Lopez Today is Grandma Martha's birthday and we shouldn't waste time on this...
Xanthe quickly agreed, looking around in guilt. That's right. Shakira also hurt us. Can't we just let it go?"
"Mrs. Ortiz." Shakira raised her voice over theirs, bowing to Martha. "I didn't want to disturb you on your birthday, but this matter concerns my reputation. I hope that you will give me some time to find out the truth." Martha waved her hand. "Sure. I've e had countless birthday parties but never seen such an incident. I'm sorry for this. No matter what, this matter must be thoroughly investigated"" Yveue and and the other two girls felt a chill run through their entire bodies.
"Since Mrs. Ortiz says so, this matter must be clarified. Rebecca Came over and held Yvette's hand, gently patting her on her trembling back. "Don't be afraid. Mom and Dad are by your side and we must bring you justice." Yvette forced a smile. Thank you, Mom"
Watching the touching scene of Rebecca comforting Yvette so gently, Shakira sneered and said nothing.
Walter happened to see her sneer, and his eyes darkened, remaining composed.
Soon,
Brian returned with two people in uniforms. "The Identification Department's experts are here, Mr. Lopez" Walter lifted his chin, commanding like a boss, "Let's get started.
The two experts took the ring from Yvette and collected fingerprints from all four of them for comparison, and soon, they got the results. "Three sets of fingerprints were found on the ring, and excluding Ms. Shakira Nelson, all three others have complete fingerprints remaining, and there are no signs of wiping off fingerprints on the ring.
Shakira smiled and looked at Xanthe and Yvette, whose faces had turned pale. "All three of your fingerprints are on it. Since you accused me of stealing the ring, Berry has never touched it, but her fingerprints are still on it, so you can't accuse me of deliberately wiping away the fingerprints."
After the analysis, she drawled, "Oh, it turns out that some people are the real thieves."
The room erupted in an uproar, and no one expected such a twist
Yvette clenched her wrist tightly and looked up at Shakira. Then she suddenly turned her head and said in shock. "How could you do such a thing, Xanthe?"
Shakira raised her eyebrows, the mockery on her face becoming even more conspicuous. She thought, What a cruel woman Yvette i is
Xanthe's eyes widened, completely stunned. Under the gaze of everyone, a chill ran down her back, and she suddenly

realized something. What do you mean, Yvette? Things are exposed and you're selling me out, right? It was you who asked me and Berry to help you drive Shakira out, and now that we've been found out, you put the blame on me. You made me SICK!

Yvette curled up fearfully in Rebecca's arms with tears in her eyes. "Berry and I had no idea about this. Xanthe. I know you've always had a hard time getting along with Shakira and constantly picked on her, but I never thought you would make such a scene at Grandma Martha's birthday banquet
Xanthe was so angry that she grabbed Berry and said, "You know the full story, Berry. Tell them that Yvette asked us in the car to help her. Say something!"
Berry covered her face and cried uncontrollably, "I don't know...
"Stop crying! Just tell them the truth!" yelled Xanthe
"Enough, Xanthe! You stole Yvette's ring and framed Shakira. Now that the evidence is clear, who else do you want to blame?" Joe commanded the bodyguards, "Take her to the police station!"
Xanthe looked at the two people who had turned against her and burst into crazy laughter. Suddenly, she lunged at Yvette, grabbing her hair and slapping her hard. "Ah!" Yvette screamed.
"Yvette! Take this crazy woman away!" said someone.
The scene was in chaos. Xanthe kept cursing, but she was eventually taken away by the bodyguards.
Yvette's face was swollen, her carefully styled hair completely ruined, and the pain in her face and legs made her cry uncontrollably, losing all her dignity. Cody, Rebecca, Lago, and Jessie looked extremely mad. "Xanthe is Yvette's close friend. I didn't expect that she would do

"Take Ms. Nelson to get her wounds treated, Joe," Martha said.
"Wait." Walter interrupted, "Now that the matter has been cleared up and it turned out that you wronged someone. Aren't you going to apologize?"
Hearing his words, the Nelson family's expressions became even more unpleasant.
Shakira looked at him in surprise, feeling something indescribable. He had been protecting her from the startrand she had never experienced such favoritism.
She knew Walter's intentions, so she boldly played along, smiling and saying, "Well, I won't force anyone. After all, Ms. Nelson cried so pitifully the last time she apologized. As the saying goes, like father, like daughter. Since Mr. Nelson is also here, as a father, why don't you set an example for your daughter and apologize to me?" Her words caused everyone to gasp again. They couldn't believe what they just heard.
The upper circles also love gossip, and many people present had already recognized Shakira as one of the heroines from the Nelson family's official announcements.
They had speculated about Shakira's background when they saw her confront the Nelson family. Now, seeing the man sitting calmly in the wheelchair behind her, they completely understood what was going on.
Cody was extremely furious, thinking. How dare you, brat!"
Yvette hurriedly cried out, "I apologize, Shakira I'm so sorry."
