The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 102

Right below this comment, someone with insider knowledge spilled some gossip, revealing Lago's "accomplishments" over the years, like kicking his daughter out once he found out she wasn't his biological child, neglecting his own mother in a nursing home, engaging in malicious competition with peers, and the reasons behind his current financial troubles-all laid bare without a shred of dignity left. netizens eating the gossip couldn't help but exclaim:

The

[See, this is what they call karma-it's not that it doesn't happen; the timing just wasn't right!]

[How can someone so wealthy treat his own mother and adopted daughter so poorly? Who would dare to do business with him? Anyone who partners with him must always be on guard against being cheated!]

"I'm currently house-hunting in Crescentville, and I didn't expect to be able to witness this kind of gossip; the internet is just too entertaining!"

I attended the Southville development bidding meeting for work, and Lago had no idea where he got the confidence, thinking the bid was in the bag. He was flaunting himself even before the results were announced, and then it all backfired spectacularly! He was dumb

[Hahaha, I can vouch for this gossmbfounded!]

[Wow! Did he know some insider informatio

advance? Did Did he use connections s to o bribe some leaders? Can someone look

in adva

into this person? I'm sure if you investigate, you'll find plenty!]

[Agreed, a social parasite like him living in such a nice villa deserves to be investigated!]

@Crescentville business bureau, wake up! Don't just sleep on the job!

Lago saw the last comment and cursed. Damn it! They even want to call someone to check on me! These deadbeats, I'll kill them!!!' Lago shouted at his secretary on the other end of the phone, "What are you waiting for? Have that person delete the video, delete it!" He was furious, anxious, guilty, and terrified; all these complex emotions collided together, and the nerves in the back of his head throbbed wildly. He felt like he was going insane.

What kind of mess is this?!' The secretary lamented, "Mr. Smith, I tried to contact this blogger before reaching out to you, but it's a private account, and she doesn't work for any organization. She completely ignored me and is impossible to contact..."

Lago lashed out, "She slandered my property and caused me losses; I want her to pay!"

The secretary, listening to his unreasonable demands, felt like crying, "Mr. Smith, she didn't even specifically say it was your house. She just analyzed some unsuitable feng shui positions based on what netizens exposed... As for the netizen who exposed this, their IP is from overseas, and it's impossible to track!"

"How did I end

I end up with such a useless assistant like you?!" Lago was so angry his head was about to explode. He shouted like a madman, causing the neighbors to hear, and people passing by his yard pointed and whispered Lago slammed the door shut and instinctively raised his phone to throw it on the ground. He lifted his hand high, but suddenly thought of something and stopped, only to angrily fling his slippers across the room.

"Hahaha, boss, your move is genius! Not only is Lago everyone. The company is in an uproar!"

house unsellable now, but all his dirty deeds are also known to

At first, netizens didn't even know who Lago was, but as the gossip spread, the public was drawn into the frenzy. Fri, Oct 25

Sean heard the news from Cathy and hurried over to find Shakira. He was eagerly waiting to see the Nelson family and the Smith family face their comeuppance, and now Lago was reaping what he sowed-he was loving it! Cathy, holding a large bag of chips, shook her head, "This is called using his own tactics against him. Let's see if they dare to continue riding on the boss's coattails."

In the bathroom, Shakira had the exhaust fan on, sitting on the toilet, watching the video footage of the two people, and couldn't help but smile. "Just wait a few more days; when the public uproar grows bigger and the company shareholders become more anxious, we can buy the shares from those retail investors at a a low price."

Sean made a gesture, "I've got someone monitoring the situation, but boss, why would you want to buy Lago's company? Isn't that just giving him money for nothing?"

Shakira raised an eyebrow, "Who said I wanted to buy his shares?"

Sean was puzzled. "Then what do you want to do by buying absolute controlling shares?"

Shakira placed her index finger on her

Sean

r lips, "You'll know later."

said, "How "How sad; the boss has secrets from me now!" He looked at Cathy, fuming as he snatched a chip from her. Then he suddenly noticed something, "Boss, are you... in the bathroom?" "No, I'm just in the bathroom, getting ready to wash up.

"Oh, oh, boss, you still haven't told us where you live. You've left the Nelson family, so why not come find us?"

"I got caught up with some things; let's talk later, okay?" Shakira heard some sounds outside, "I'll wash up first; you guys should rest early." After saying that, she hurriedly hung up the video call. Sean stared at the darkened screen, still a bit dazed. He looked at the clock, unsure, "It's not even nine o'clock yet; our boss, who usually stays up late, is going to sleep?"

Cathy tilted her head and blinked her pretty eyes, "Do you think it's possible that the boss is dating?"

Sean's eyes nearly popped out. "Who? The boss? Dating?" He immediately shook his head without thinking, "Our boss? She's a hardcore straight woman! The odds of her going to the moon are higher than her dating someone!"

Cathy

silently protected her chips and shook her head, "You ironclad straight man, don't eat my chips."

Shakira just came out of the bathroom when Walter stared at her suspiciously. "What were you doing in there for an hour?" "Cough, do you believe me if I say I was sitting on the toilet?"

Walter, not expecting such a shocking excuse from Shakira, immediately showed a look of disdain on his face. "Get ready; we're going out together in a couple of days."

"Pack my bags? Where are we going?"

Walter's eyes darkened slightly. "To Oberlin. It's my parents' death anniversary."

Shakira was surprised for a moment but didn't ask more. "Okay,"

The next day, they got up early. Shakira specifically wore all black, and Walter stole a few glances at her in the room, his thin lips pressed together.

Even Benji, who hadn't been home for a few days, came back specifically, bringing a large bouquet of white chrysanthemums.

He rarely put away his usual playful demeanor and looked serious. "Finn, why don't I accompany you to see Uncle and Aunt?"

Walter's tone was indifferent. "It's fine; you stay here. Shakira will go back with me."

Benji glanced at Shakira and nodded. "That works. Uncle and Aunt will feel at ease seeing your wife in person."

After having breakfast, the two of them got into the car, and the convoy headed east.

The atmosphere in the car was gloomy; Shakira held bouquet, her eyes downcast, lost in thought.
