The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 39 Shakira sneered. She knew Lago was a fool, but she didn't expect him to be so foolish that he kept calling after so many having been ignored.

Calls It was pure luck that he managed to make a nfor himself in Crescentville. Just as Shakira was mocking him inwardly. Lago called again. He really wouldn't give up. Shakira answered, but there was a brief pause before Lago's voice cthrough, filled with hesitation and disbelief. "Shakira "It's me." she replied coolly, then moved the phone away from her ear.

As she e expected, the next second, Lago erupted into a furious tirade on the other end. Shakira hung up immediately.

After a second's pause, she called back. This time, before Lago could start yelling, she said, "If you keep cursing, I'll hang up again This n girl! Lago h**uffed in anger, thinking that after being proud for so long, Shakira was finally caving in and coming to him for help.

You must He believed that Shakira had nowhere to go after being kicked out by the Nelson family, and he guessed she had to answer his call because she had run out of money. feel I miserable and alone after leaving the Nelson family, Shakira. We could kindly let you back, but since you humiliated Yvette at college, you have to pay the price!" With that in mind, Lago adopted a condescending tone, filled with jealousy and arr "Oh, and what do you suggest?" She was genuinely curious about his delusional ideas.

Without hesitation, Lago said, "If you kneel before Yvette, apologize, and go to the hospital to sign a consent form for a kidney donation, I might consider it!" Lago was eager to hear Shakira's humble plea for forgiveness. Just like back in the Smith family, as long as he and Jessic gave her a bit of attention, Shakira would obediently do as they said. for him, this the only heard Shakira laughing as if she had heard a joke. "Why should I listen to you? I look down on the Nelson family. Who do you think you are?" Unfortul Lago was at "Aren't you "If you're talking about that, then we have nothing more to discuss," said Shakira Realizing Shakira was about to hang up, Lago finally remembered the important matter at hand. He quickly spoke up, "Shakira, you don't care about Hannah's life anymore, do you?" paused, her breath slightly deepening. Hannah, as Lago mentioned, was his own mother Hannah lived in the countryside and was only brought to the city during summer and winter breaks to help care for her grandchildren. During those times, Shakira could feel a bit of warmth of a family.

But Hannah had trouble walking, when Shakira was in elementary school, she had been sent to a nursing hdue to paralysis, spending her days confined to bed. In her previous life, after returning to the Nelson family, Shakira never had the chance to visit Hannah. Later, after undergoing the kidney transplant, Shakira was too weak to visit Hannah. Before she could recover, Hannah had left the world. 08:22 Sat, Oct 19 Chapter 39 Shakira tightened her grip on the phone, her tone calm. "What do you want to say?" want to sout Lago maintained a serious demeanor. "You know Hannah's condition; she's been paralyzed for so many years, and her health is declining. The doctors say she can't hold on much longer. However, there's an imported medication that can alleviate her suffering and prolong her life a bit." Shakira remained silent. Lago listened to Shakira's low breaths on the other end. Since she didn't hang up, urgency.

he felt no "Unfortunately, that medication is incredibly expensive, Hannah needs it once a month, and it costs 200 thousand dollars each time. Do the math, Shakira-over a year, three years, five years... It adds up to nearly 20 million dollars, at the very least," he said. Shakira narrowed her eyes with no expression. "She's your mother." "And so what? The medication is pricey. Who can afford that on an ordinary salary? But you're different, Shakira. You know Finn offered 30 million dollars to find a kidney for Yvette, right? If you donate a kidney to Yvette, Hannah could live an extra five or six years, and you could make smoney. This opportunity is all thanks to Yvette," Lago said.

Even though she was somewhat prepared, Shakira couldn't believe Lago could be this shameless. "Lago, you're disgusting!" Shakira exclaimed.

The Smith family, while not as wealthy as the Nelson family, was still quite affluent. For Yvette's birthday, Lago and Jessie had given her a luxury apartment in the city center, worth at least 3 million dollars. Lago could totally spend 200 thousand dollars to treat Hannah, but he just didn't want to do so.

Lago beceven more excited when Shakira cursed at him. He hadn't expected Hannah to still be of suse, helping him manipulate Shakira.

"I'm not even asking you to repay the money you spent during your ten years with us. I'll make it clear; either you sign the kidney donation papers, or you help Hannah with the 20 million dollars. Choose one, and Hannah can continue living comfortably. Think it over," he said. Salu.

Lago laughed maniacally on the other end. "How long she lives depends on your conscience, Shakira." With that, he hung up. Shakira threw her phone onto the bed and covered her eyes with her hand. After a while, she slowly clenched her fist, her eyes cold as ice..

The next morning, in the small villa's dining room, Walter had a tablet in front of him, displaying today's international news He took a sip of black coffee and glanced icily at Shakira, who sat with her hands folded in front of her. He noticed her eyes were bloodshot.

After breakfast, Shakira said a quick goodbye and left for school Walter took the damp towel from the butler to wipe his hands and asked casually, "What's going on with her?" Levi had been holding it in all night and finally found an outlet Mr. Lopez, Ms. Nelson was bullied at college yesterday." Walter scoffed, not believing it. "There's someone who could bully Shakira?" He thought Shakira was more likely to be the bully

Levi recounted the events he'd seen online, animatedly. "Even if Ms.

Nelson had a bad reputation before, she's changed! Yesterday, in front of ve the whate grade, she only got one question wrong on a test. She must. have worked so hard to redeem herself!" ***Nelson is such a poor girl. She just wanted an apology, but that girl Yvette morally blackmailed her. If everyone hadn't R Chapter 39

been rational and able to see through it, Ms. Nelson would have been is the blamed Let's not forget, she is the real daughter of the Nelson family, While Yvette is the one who stole her place. It's outrageous!" he added. By the end. Levi was irritated. Having no parental support and being bullied by someone who took away her family. Shakira was truly unfortunate. Listening, Walter furrowed his brow slightly. "Why didn't she say anything about this yesterday?" "Mr. Lopez, you know Ms. Nelson. Whenever she feels wronged, she always bears it alone," said Levi.

Walter recalled how smug she appeared when addressing him, and he snorted. He believed Shakira wasn't just enduring: she was like a cunning fox, waiting for the right moment to strike back.

Shakira, having not refused Levi's offer of a ride today, arrived comfortably at the college. Shem instructed the driver to drop her off at acorner just before the entrance, and she walked the rest of the way. As she reached the gate, a flashy Ferrari drifted in and cto a stop right in front of the gate. SEND GIFT COMMENT 0 Sat, Oct 19 L
