The True Heiress's Return

Lago instinctively trembled. "Mr. Max! What brings you here..."

A man in a floral shirt strode into the Smith famil money?"

The smile on Lago's face instantly vanished, and his legs went weak, nearly collapsing as he raised his hands in surrender. "Didn't we agree to give a three-day grace period? Today is only the first day!" "It's only right to pay back debts. I can take my money whenever I want!" After saying this, Max gestured to his men, and one of them raised his bat and smashed the ornamental koi pond at the entrance. A dozen plump koi flopped on the ground, struggling desperately. Lago's eyes bulged in shock; that was over a million worth

of koi!

He dared not express his anger, and the forced smile on his face was more painful than crying. "Max, you're right, but I truly don't have money right now..."

"No money?" Max's face twisted into a cold smile. "My brothers are getting restless today and are itching to vent their frustrations. No money is just the right opportunity for them to practice!" After saying that, Max signaled with his hand. Before Lago could finish speaking, the three thugs swung their bats down.

"Ah! Max, please spare me! Max, please spare me!" Lago cried out in despair, begging for mercy.

Those in this line of work have their own unique ways of teaching lessons. They hit hard so that the pain is memorable but can't hit too hard; otherwise, how would they leave a life for them to repay? In the end, Lago couldn't hold on any longer and h***ly shouted, "I'll pay! Max, I'll pay back 300 thousand first..." The thugs stopped. After a beating, Lago lay on the ground, barely conscious.

"How much?" Max squatted in front of Lago, digging in his ear and letting the dust fall on Lago's head, casually remarking, heard you have 1 million; hiding 200 million, what do you plan to do?"

Lago instantly felt a chill all over. He originally wanted to use 1 million to gamble; if he won, he could pay off his debts and maybe even make a big profit! But now...

Before he could explain again, Max casually picked up a baseball bat from someone nearby and swung it hard against Lago's left hand.

With a loud c**k, Lago couldn't even scream; his face turned ashen like a corpse. Cold sweat mixed with tears of blood, and Lago trembled, "I'll pay back... 1 million, I will..."

Shakira got into the Maybach with Walter, heading back to the villa.

On the way, while Walter was looking at his phone, Shakira quickly messaged Sean. After some time, she heard the man's cold voice, "You really don't want to handle this yourself?" The abruptness of the topic caught Shakira off guard for a moment, but she quickly caught up.

Thu,

Shakira pursed her lips, "I hate them, I wish they would die, but there's no need to dirty my own hands."

Walter turned his gaze towards her. The woman's clear eyes showed calmness, but upon closer inspection, there was no emotion in them at all.

Walter looked away and stared straight ahead, "Fine."

Shakira was a bit confused. 'What does he mean by 'fine'? This guy is so mysterious.

Upon arriving at Eastlake Valley Estate, the car slowed to a stop, and the butler and s***nts were waiting in front of the car.

Walter casually gave an order, "Move her things to my room."

The butler and s***nts: ?

The butler was thrilled but uncertain, his voice trembling with excitement, "Young master, when you say Ms. Nelson?" 'her,' do you

Walter replied, "Is there a problem?"

"No! We'll arrange it right away, and make sure Ms. Nelson's belongings are moved to your bedroom intact!" After finishing, the butler hurried off with the s***ts, eager to act before the young master changed his mind. Shakira couldn't reach out in time to stop him. Her face flushed as she questioned Walter, "Why didn't you tell me we were living together?"

He had an attitude of not needing to give prior notice, as if it was a given, "Since we've agreed, why not live together?"

He looked at her deeply, his tone meaningful, "I never compromise on my own comfort."

Shakira was speechless. She was still a

Her phone vibrated several times, receiving multiple messages. All from Sean: [Boss, I'm back...]

[I didn't even get a chance to act; that idiot, Lago and Donavan just had to offend Walter? I just went to Donavan's place, and he got arrested by his own secretary for tax evasion! I hurried to the Smith family, gave some money to Brian, his assistant, to make trouble for Lago every day. By the time my people got there, Lago was half-dead; if they come again, he might not make it! I went for nothing!] [Damn, it drives me crazy! I waited so long for a chance to teach that scoundrel a lesson, and he gets beaten first! What the hell! Is Walter out of his mind?]

Watching the lengthy complaints from Sean, Shakira could completely understand how disappointed and frustrated he felt. She also didn't expect Walter's way of handling things to align with her thoughts...

At this moment, Sean sent another message: [Boss, does Walter have a crush on you?]

Shakira's temples throbbed; unable to endure it any longer, she pressed send on a voice message, angrily cursing, "Crush my a***!" "This Sean is... his brain must be about to be overtaken by Mitchell!'

At the Nelson residence, when Mitchell returned, he immediately called Finn and his parents to the study with a serious face.

Yvette entered from the garden and saw them going upstairs one after another, a glimmer passing through her eyes.

Thinking about the message Lago sent her
