The True Heiress's Return

Walter thought it was a gift she had carefully selected for him but was surprised when she said she had made it herself Instantly, his eyes seemed to be deeper even more.

"Looks great." His voice was deep and richer than a cello's tone. He took it with both hands. "I'll try it on now." With that, he began taking off his clothes right away.

Shakira thought, 'Well, there is no need to change it in such a hurry. Since it was tailored, the fit would be perfect

But seeing how eager he was, with his eyes sparkling with excitement, Shakira wanted to see him in this outfit she had once imagined.

She was slightly distracted. Until his solid chest and abs were fully in view, Shakira widened her eyes, watching him slowly put on a white shirt and placed his hands on the waistband of his lounge pants. "Are you sure you want to keep watching me change?" asked Waller.

When she met Walter's teasing gaze, Shakira pretended to clear her throat, raised her hands to show innocence, and slowly turned her back to him.

However, the hotel's wardrobe had mirrored glass. So when Shakira turned away, Walter's tall, lean silhouette was still in her sight.

She pondered, 'Should I close my eyes? But it's not the first time I've seen him, so it's okay, right? Ah, he has been doing more exercises in rehab lately, so his muscles seem even more defined now!' "Alright." Shakira turned back around, her clear eyes instantly lighting up with brilliance.

In a deep unconventional blue, personally highlighted by Shakira with hints of light pink, the suit enhanced Walter's elegance.

His hair was untamed, slightly messy against his head, quite different from his usual overbearing CEO image. His bright eyes were fixed on her, almost like a cute and sweet boy. Walter noticed her staring at him without saying a word, one corner of his mouth tugging gently upward. With a playful lift of his eyebrow, he asked, "What's with your smile?" Shakira burst into laughter. "You look so much younger in this outfit, young master."

Walter was speechless and thought, 'Do I look so old?'

To prove her point, Shakira cupped Walter's face with both hands, giving it a playful squeeze. "You're adorable." Walter stayed still, letting her do as she pleased.

Even though Walter's face was soft, Shakira just rubbed it a few times, not daring to play around too much. As it got late, she split the small cake in half, and they finished it together. "Alright, let's call it a night after we've finished the cake," said Shakira.

Walter looked at her intently. "You're not going to stay with me?"

Shakira shook her finger and gestured outside with her lips, "I told Benji I'd come back at 1:00 am. It's about time now."

Of course, she didn't mention how shocked and gossipy Benji was when she told him the time. At that time, Benji asked, "Are you sure an hour is enough for Walter?"

Shakira stuck out her tongue and suddenly remembered something before leaving. "Do you want me to give you a couple of

acupuncture? I heard you having a nightmare when I came in earlier

Walter's expression was calm. "No worries. I just have a headache after drinking

"Oh, okay then, get some rest if you've been drinking. Don't stay up too late," said Shakira.

Walter suddenly called out to her, "Come over here."

"Huh?" Shakira, a bit confused, walked up to him.

Just as she got near the bed, his arm swiftly wrapped around her pulling her into his embrace. Before Shakira reacted, her lips were caught in a deep kiss, their breaths mingling.

She could faintly hear Walter's quiet grumble, "Next time, you can't live with Benji and them anymore."

Shakira stifled a laugh as she rubbed the corner of her mouth and pushed him away, trotting away. She was afraid Walter would suddenly change his mind and call Benji, telling them to live outside tonight. After the Lopez Group's annual party ended, a trending topic unexpectedly shot to the top spot on the hot search.

It was an employee who won the grand prize at the annual party and posted his award photo online, inciting a buzz across the internet.

[OMG! Your company took a fully furnished 150-square-foot apartment in Crescentville plus fifteen thousand dollars for renovations as a reward? Is this really a company? Could I be your boss's long-lost brother?] [Don't even mention renovation costs. Just think about how much a square foot costs in Crescentville.]

[As an employee of Lopez Group, I tell you the house is in the same district as my company and the average price per square foot is twenty thousand dollars.]

[Oh, God. I'm jealous of the employees of Lopez Group.]

[I work at Lopez Group too. This year, we're vacationing at Silverwave Bay, but I wasn't very lucky and only got the fifth prize, which is about three thousand dollars in cash.]

[What? The fifth prize is three thousand dollars. Do you know my company's second prize was just a hair dryer worth three hundred dollars from AeroVane?]

[That's nothing. My prize money was only two hundred dollars. If you don't believe it, just look at my screenshot.]

[Oh, come on, man. Are you serious? If I were you, I would have to dance in front of the boss.]

There are many similar comments like those above.

The entire night was a competition of the annual parties among companies. By the next day, the Lopez Group was not surprisingly at the top of the headlines as the most trending topic.

Some large companies quickly were compared, leading to gossip from employees at the year-end parties of the four other major families.

The annual parties of the White, Jennings, and Clifton Group were all well-organized. While their rewards weren't as substantial as the Lopez Group's, they were still seen as top benchmarks in the industry. This contrast led to widespread mockery of the Nelson Group.

[Yes, no party this year. I've been with Nelson Group for seven years. Back then, the Nelson Group's annual parties were on the same level as those of the other major families.]

[We used to rent entire luxury spa hotels for a three-day employee retreat. But this year, we got some coupons for a spa hotel.]

A popular comment showed. [Really? I can't stop laughing. Nelson Group must really love the spa.]

[Come on, how poor is the Nelson Group? But seriously, wasn't there a ton of gossip about the Nelson Group a while back?] [Yeah, you're right. It was Nelson Group where the chairman's daughter blatantly copied and then acted like she was the victim.]

[I know she was a fake daughter. The chairman doesn't care about his real daughter at all. They deserve their current situation.]

[Wow, I've been following it too. So outrageous. I thought the-mix-up of real and fake daughters only happened in novels, not in a real noble family. Who ignores their real kid to pamper someone else's?]-

[I agree. It was miserable enough for his biological daughter to be an outcast. Any normal parent would be heartbroken and shower her with extra love. But they only care about the fake one, even letting her insult the real one. They deserved this.]Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I believe in Karma. Look, now the Nelson family is getting whats coming to them. I heard Yonder Digital is leading the charge against them. I think it's time for the Nelson family to be replaced."
