The True Heiress's Return

"Berry, you're so kind to buy each of us a set of limited-edition seasonal lipsticks. That's so generous!" one girl said delightedly.

"Not a big deal. We're all classmates. I'm glad you like them," replied Berry.From NôvelDrama.Org.

It was the first time that Berry was in the spotlight at school. In the past, she was the invisible one among her girls group- Yvette, Xanthe, and Berry. Shakira didn't expect that Berry and Yvette could still be close friends after that birthday banquet incident, but she quickly accepted it considering Berry and Yvette gave up in Xanthe at the same time that night.. 'Birds of a feather do flock together,' thought Shakira. Shakira took her seat in the fro front t row as before and soon overheard Berry answering a phone call with surprise and delight.

"Really? I'm

I'm invited to the party tonight hosted by Mr. White. Of course, I won't mess things up. I'm not the same person I was before. Don't worry, Mom, " promised Berry in a cheerful voice. Berry hung up the phone with a beaming smile.

The students sitting behind her asked with curiosity, "Berry, who is Mr. White...?"

Berry straightened her back and answered with superiority, "He just returned from abroad and is hosting a welcome-back banquet tonight. He deliberately invited me to join him for dinner." Yvette blinked her eyes and asked, "Is i sit Kyle White? He's an alumnus with my brother, Felix. I've heard from my brother that they both received the Outstanding Student Award. Didn't expect he come back home so soon." he landed last night," said Berry.

ette's lit up and mumbled. "I'll ask Felix if he's returned too."

The other students listened to their conversation and commented with envy, "Wow, no wonder you're recognized as one of the top five wealthy families. Those families must be in a close relationship."

"I've never heard you talk about your family before. Berry, so your family is one of the top five wealthy families?"

Berry chuckled lightly and explained, "We share the same surname, but Kyle is the direct heir, while I'm from a collateral branch."

"But you must be close to Kyle and probably hang out with him regularly. You're so humble, Berry. How could you never mention it before!" said a girl excitedly.

"Berry, it's rumored that Kyle i is a handsome gentle man. He has a very good reputation among the descendants of those well-known families. Is that true?" asked one girl with blond hair

Berry hesitated for a moment for actually, she had never met Kyle in person. Although they originated from one family, there was a huge gap between them. She guessed that she was about to attend tonight's banquet due to Walter... Berry said simply, "Pretty much, he i s busy with his studies and seldom interferes with family affairs. I haven't seen him in a long time either."

Meanwhile, Yvette also got a message from Felix. She said with a hint of disappointment, "It seems Kyle came back alone this time. My brother will be back a bit later."

"Oh, Yvette, are you going with me tonight?" Berry asked.

Yvette gave Berry a meaningful look, inwardly despising Berry for already considering herself as someone rising from the

"No, I'll go home. I've promised my mom to have a meal with her," replied Yvette.

ashes, thinking she could do as she pleased.

Saying this, Yvette glanced over at Shakira, who was playing on her phone with her head down, not paying attention to what was happening around them. Yvette felt a little bit frustrated. Shakira received a text message from Walter: [No need to cook tonight.]

Shakira raised an eyebrow and thought, 'So, Walter is attending the banquet tonight too.

Among the top five rich families, the youngsters of the other four families always hung out together, completely excluding the Nelson family, so her family drifted apart from the other four families over the years. In Shakira's previous life, she had done a lot secretly to help her family steadily catch up with the other four families. As for now, without her support, there would probably be new the top four rich families.

The class bell rang, and the tutor entered the classroom, making an announcement, "From this semester, we're going to take a quiz every month, you'd better prepare for that."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class let out a howl of despair.

"What? Come That's t

hat's too cruel.

"It's over. This term is going to be horrible, isn't it?"

Listening to the complaints from the students, the tutor felt a little dissatisfied and said sternly, "You should put more time and effort into your study. Anyone who can't accept it can transfer to other departments. I hope you guys don't mention my name after you graduate in the future in terms of your academic performance right now!"

The tutor patrolled around the school and asked, "Who wants to back out now?"

In an instant, no one dared to speak anything, not even breathe heavily.

Suddenly, Yvette raised her hand.

The tutor gave a cold look, and Yvette spoke up softly, "We have a classmate who took a two-year break and just returned to school. I'm a little worried if she's good enough to catch up on our course." Shakira squinted her eyes and looked at Yvette, sneering, "How considerate you're to think about me."

Yvette shrank and said timidly, "Shakira, I just don't want you to push yourself too hard. You know, I don't have attention..."

"That's right, Shakira, Yvette is right. Even if you pass the test to get into our class, it doesn't mean you're good enough to handle it," Berry chimed in, folding her arms in front of her chest.

The tutor had heard about Shakira since she made a splash on the first day of school. He pushed his glasses into place, looked at Shakira, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of the current domestic economic situation?"

The students were shocked as none of them were ready for the sudden test. However, they all felt relieved that it wasn't them who were being tested, waiting to see poor Shakira get embarrassed because she had never attended a class before. Yvette and Berry exchanged glances, both looking forward to seeing Shakira make a fool of herself.

Shakira stood up from her seat, only pondering for a moment, and then spoke out her opinions confidently and calmly. Some students didn't even catch her ideas but it was obvious that the tutor's hard face softened little by little as he listened to Oct 20

the speech of Shakira.

"Good. Quite impressive. Sit down, Shakira," said the tutor.

"Wow, Shakira analyzed do well."

"It's incredible when she made a comparison between the economic situation of Belaris and the domestic?"

"Look how confident she is!"

Listening to the praise from everyone, Yvette and Berry grew jealous.

"It's just because she has stayed in Belaris before! Don't make a fuss," commented Berry.

The next second, the tutor called Berry's name and said, "How about you talk about your idea?"
