The True Heiress's Return

Walter stared at him blankly, unimpressed. Benji gave himself a playful smack on the back of his head.

Oh my, my brother, who's been single for over twenty years, hasn't made a move yet? he thought.

In a low voice, Benji directly suggested, "Brother, you've been with Shakira for so long, but I haven't seen you go out on date or anything. She's off next month for a holiday, and with New Year's coming up plus her internship at our company. a chance for you two to get closer"

Although he didn't want to accept it, Walter's legs might never fully recover, but as Walter's only brother, he had to step up and give him more encouragement and support. Even if the legs couldn't heal, he needed to find a way to fill the void in Walter's heart.

Walter used to dive into his career, but that was just a façade. Being too busy could drain your spirit and energy. But love was something different

Genting the romance right surely kept one alert and sharp. What about deepening that bond? In three years, one would be holding two kids.

If Walter focused more on Shakira, life would be more fulfilling. Once they had children, the whole family would be happy. Then when his time came, he could rest knowing he made Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt proud. Walter showed a hint of confusion in his eyes. "A date?"

Benji listed off, "Dinner, walk, movie, Ferris wheel, claw machine, fishing-anything you two can do alone, give it a try

Upon hearing this, Walter was dismissive. "What a waste of time.

Benji said, "How could it be a waste of time? Relationships need nurturing. The more a couple experiences together, the deeper their understanding of each other will be. You learn what the other person likes, and your feelings will deepen, making you more compatible." Benji went for the big hit. "Don't you want Shakira to love not just your body, but your soul too?"

Walter was speechless.

s overthinking it. Shakira didn't love his body. She just used it when necessary.

Walter shot a look at Benji, whose exaggerated performance was clearly foolish. "She's not like those shallow girlfriends of yours," he said.

Those ordinary women can't compare to her, but... Benji raised an eyebrow. "Women are all about emotions. Being moved is what they want in common."

He added, "My tricks may seem predictable, but they're foolproof and succeed every time, Trust me, Walter

Walter shoved the chatty Benji aside and continued eating at his own pace. However, his thoughts obviously drifted as he noticed Shakira having fun feeding salmon to Otto, and his expression briefly changed.

Shakira had no idea what kind of bad advice Benji was giving to Walter. She only saw the two brothers whispering together, probably discussing something she shouldn't know, so she wisely kept her distance.

Otto leapt up and quickly ate all the salmon in her hand, and Shakira reached through the net to touch its strong tail. She said, "Hmm? Why have you gotten plumper than when I first came? Who's been sneaking you extra food?"

As if it understood her, Otto quickly swam away. Shakira chuckled, and a few notifications appeared on her phone, so she

opened them to check.

It was Sean who sent her some photos. Matthew also seemed to have found traces of Cathy, and today Sean went with Cathy to apologize in person.

Sean: [Wow, Cathy is usually so sweet and cuddly, but when she's with Matthew, she becomes a little firecracker]

Shakira could imagine the scene. The father and daughter often argued, with Matthew being old-fashioned and wanting Cathy to settle down.

But Cathy longed for freedom, was obsessed with tarot cards, and still had a youthful spirit, which made it hard for her to be under Matthew's control, so they frequently clashed. Shakira: [Try to persuade Cathy. Matthew's blood pressure is a bit high, so they shouldn't argue too fiercely.]

Sean: [Of course I know that. I've been playing peacemaker until my mouth's dry, and then Matthew turns around and asks if I'm Cathy's boyfriend. It nearly scared me to death: Sean: I'm a man with my heart set on becoming the richest in the world, so how could I have a girlfriend? And even if I did. it definitely wouldn't be Cathy. I see her like a sister.] Shakira: [Yes, I know, as long as we explain it clearly, that's fine.

Sean was muttering to himself for a while, and then suddenly brought up something unexpected.

Sean: It's strange. I've been unable to reach Gideon lately. Has he gotten in touch with you?]

Hearing those words. Shakira's eyes flashed, and she replied casually: [Don't bother looking for him. He's busy helping me with some fishing-1

Sean was bewildered. [What?]

Yvette took over Mitchell's entertainment company, hoping to use this opportunity to invest in herself and successfully cuier the entertainment industry.

On the day of the Summit, Rebecca said she wanted to help her and indeed introduced her to more wealthy wives and influencers in the circle, including those deeply involved in showbiz investments.

Hu

ver, after the meetings, it was like throwing a stone into the sea, and only splashes were seen and nothing else. Yvette thought she'd finally have the chance to showcase her talent, but ended up with this result. She was really full of discontent and anger. Similarly, she became more aware that the Nelson family was now on a decline, no longer as glorious as before.

If she didn't quickly think of another solution, it might become even more difficult for her in the future. No, this was not the situation she wanted.

She was struggling to solve the current problems when Lago started harassing her with calls from unknown numbers again. "Yvette, send over one hundred and sixty thousand dollars to Dad. I've spent all the cash on hand."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

There was a lot of noise on Lago's end, and from the few words Yvette could hear, she could guess where he was

Yvette was getting even angrier. "You're gambling again. Are you crazy? Do you think I'm a money machine that can keep spitting out money for you to waste

Lago brushed it off. "This is called striving, silly kid. Dad's bankrupt, and if I want to start over, I need some funds, right? The fastest way to get money is right here."

Yvette clenched her teeth pu've already lost a hundred thousand dollars. If you just worked diligently, you could've opened a store by now."

Her scolding didn't wake Lago up. Instead, he became more determined. "A hundred thousand means nothing. Once my luck changes. I'll earn millions, even tens of millions, and rise again."

What a fantasy. Yvette took a deep breaths. "I'm out of money. I just gave you thirty thousand dollars last week."

Lago had already planned it out. 'Dear daughter, haven't you got the company now? Mitchell's company is worth quite a bit. If you sell a few shares..."

Yvette's eyes were red with anger. She thought, "This gambler dares to target me? How could he'
