The True Heiress's Return

The color photo quickly came out of the printer. Walter walked over to the display wall. It showed the Lopez Group's achievements since it was founded, along with photos of each CEO. Walter looked through them one by one until his eyes landed on the last photo.

It was a picture of him being dragged into the office by Benji for a group photo. Walter took it down, opened the frame, removed the photo, and replaced it with the newly printed one, placing it on the desk. Seeing the empty spot on the desk now filled, Walter nodded with satisfaction and casually put Benji's photo into the drawer. After a quick lunch, Brian knocked and came in.

"Mr. Lopez, Jaslene, and Fiona have arrived," said Brian.

Walter frowned slightly and thought, 'Jaslene has always been in Haruca recovering. Why would she suddenly come to Crescentville?' Walter's face remained calm and said, "Let them in." "Okay," replied Brian.

A moment later, Brian led Jaslene and Fiona into the office, followed by two secretaries who served tea and snacks. Jaslene had some connections with Walter's grandmother, so Walter nodded politely. "Hello, Jaslene." Jaslene wore an expensive fur coat. Although her hair was already white, the sparkle of jewels around her was still quite noticeable.

Jaslene pulled Fiona along with her and casually settled on the sofa in the lounge area.

After looking around, she finally focused on Walter and chuckled, "Walter, it's been a few months, and you look much more spirited than the last time we met."

Saying this, she gently patted Fiona's hand and praised, "This must be thanks to our dear Fiona, right? Haha."

Fiona glanced at Walter who was in the sharp suit today and blushed. With Jaslene's teasing, she puffed her cheeks in mock annoyance and said, "Grandma!"

"Oh, are you getting shy?" said Jaslene.

Jaslene's tone was affectionate, with a hint of playful reproach. "You've been staying in Crescentville for over six months for Walter, ignoring me. And now I'm not even allowed to tease you a bit?"

She was speaking to Fiona, but her real intention was aimed at Walter.

Walter remained calm, saying, "You truly have a point. Fiona's been very attentive to my leg injury lately, and for that, I'm really grateful."

"Well, I've watched you grow up. You're always the most reliable. So when Fiona runs to your side without hesitation, doing her best to help with your leg, I feel at ease. I know that whether she can help or not, you would never mistreat her," said Jaslene. Jaslene held Walter in high regard. Across the country, which family could match the depth of the Lopez family?

And Walter was the most outstanding among the young heirs. It was just unfortunate that he lost the use of his legs... But that didn't matter, especially when Fiona liked Walter so much!

With admiration in her eyes, Fiona approached Walter and said, "Walter, Grandma came over right after her flight today. She's been really concerned about your injury. I hope our sudden visit isn't bothering you."

Walter replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, Jaslene. I'm already feeling much better."

"That's good to hear." Jaslene chuckled and got right to by to see you and know when you plan to marry Fiona."

Jaslene's chest rose and fell with anger as she spoke. "And let's not forget, when you were at your worst, Fiona was there, day and night, by your bedside without resting. Are you really going to pretend you don't know?!" Fiona's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Walter sadly.

Walter remained calm and resolute, his tone firm. "The hospital has nurses and my family has servants. I've never asked Fiona to do anything for me.

"During this time, I've been grateful for her kindness and have assisted the Banks family business. I'm sure you're aware of that." Walter said.

"If you want to seek repayment for your kindness, I won't avoid it. Whatever the amount or type of cooperation needed, as long as I can provide it, I will gladly offer it. "Besides..." Walter said in an exceptionally firm manner, "I already have a fiancée. If you're anxious about Fiona's marriage,

should plan for her as soon as possible."

Walter's indifferent response was like a bucket of cold water extinguishing the last bit of hope in Fiona's heart. No matter the situation, he always kept a clear with her, calculating everything so precisely. boundar

Fiona never wanted anything back from Walter. She just wanted him to see her as a woman. But Walter always dismissed her with money and business deals!

Fiona knew that Walter was always that kind of man. If he remained that distant, he would be unable to consider anyone else. At least she wouldn't feel so humiliated and hurt...

But somehow, he made an exception for Shakira! He let her get close, stood up for her, and even acknowledged her presence!

Fiona knew perfectly well that the fiancée Walter talked about now was Shakira!

Fiona thought, 'Why? We're both helping him recover, so why it's Shakira, but not me?

'Shakira must've used sneaky ways to charm Walter. Is he ready to be fooled by Shakira like this?'

Fiona was overwhelmed with sadness and anger, causing her to stumble back a few steps.

Suddenly, Fiona's eyes narrowed sharply! She was
