Levi, unaffected by Fiona's words, calmly explained, "Ms. Banks, you might not remember, you're probably too busy to remember. Since you took the initiative to be Mr. Lopez's attending physician, Mr. Benji Lopez has paid you a commission higher than that of other top experts. "And he has given many concessions in the cooperation with the Banks family's company. Also, last time when Matthew diagnosed Mr. Lopez. Mr. Lopez gave you 30 million dollars as a reward."
"You may have treated Mr. Lopez, but using that for moral leverage against him is unacceptable. He owes you nothing" Levi finished in one breath, leaving Fiona's face contorted with anger. It was clear she had been exposed, and she was livid. Shakira didn't expect to catch a live drama while just sitting there watching TV. She raised an eyebrow, snuggled into the corner of the couch wrapped in a blanket, and watched quietly.
"You backstabbing dog! This is between Walter and me, and it's none of your business!" Fiona's eyes were wild with rage as she glared at Levi furiously, who was blocking her. "What Levi said is what I think." Suddenly, a cool male voice came from upstairs.
Fiona's whole body shook as she looked up in disbelief at the nobleman watching her from the second-floor railing. Her face was pale with embarrassment as she forced a smile, trying to win him over. "Walter, are you mad at me for being too harsh before? But they wouldn't let me see you. Now I have no one to help me. The hospital and the show's producers are suing me, and the police have called me.
"My parents are angry with me for hurting Grandma and won't help. I can't go to jail. Walter, only you can help me now..." Fiona said.
"You're not welcome here, and I won't help you." Walter's cold words hit Fiona right in the heart, crushing her last bit of hope with their harsh indifference.
Her eyes were vacant, staring straight at him. "What did you say Walter's face was steady, showing no emotion.
Fiona couldn't keep pretending anymore and her face twisted into a snarl, like a devil that had lost all its reason. "It's that witch Shakira, isn't it? She's the one stirring thing up in your eart Because of her, you won't help me, even after all our years together!"
Her hysterical screams and shouts were met with a change in Walter's once indifferent gaze, which slowly turned to anger. "Even now, all you do is blame others without reflecting on yourself!" Walter showed no mercy.
"To frame someone else, you treated human life lightly, even harming your own grandmother. Yet, you feel no guilt, trying to justify your wrongs by falsely accusing others first.
"Fiona, being friends with you for so many years makes me nauseous."
Walter loathed evil intensely. The instant he saw the news, all sense of friendship and relations disappeared entirely. To him, Fiona was nothing but a heartless criminal who had committed pumerous wicked pets. To make matters worse, she dared to Insult Shakira Walter didn't make any effort to conceal the disdain in bodyguards to take Fiona out.

Fiona fought hard, yelling at the top of her voice, 'Shakira! You witch, come out here! You're the reason I'm like this. Come out, or I swear I'll kill you!"
Shakira saw Fiona nearly losing her mind, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, Just as she was about to stand up, she heard

Walter's voice coming from upstairs.

"Wait a minute," Fiona thought there was a glimmer of hope, but then Walter's heartless order echoed, "Take her to the police station.
"What! Take me to the police? Would I even have a chance to get out again! Fiona thought. She was on the verge of losing her mind.
"Just because I insulted Shakira, you're being so heartless to me Walter didn't hesitate and his words were clear and determined, "I won't allow anyone to hurt her."
Shakira held her breath, her fingers involuntarily tightening around the blanket. Something seemed to explode silently within her, a warm rush spreading throughout her body...
After a moment, Fiona let out a low chuckle, then burst into laughter, "Ha, haaha! Her laughter was almost crazy as if she had lost her senses, "Fine, you love her so much that you push me to the death just because I insulted her once..." Suddenly, her expression turned fierce, "What good does it do to be so nice to her? She still doesn't trust you. Do you even know what she's been hiding from you behind your back? Would she dare to tell you the whole truth? She wouldn't dare!"
Walter frowned and remained silent. His reaction made Fiona laugh even more wildly. "Do you really think she sincerely likes you? You're so pathetic, Walter, completely fooled by that scheming girl. I know all about it, but I'm not going to reveal the truth to you..." Fiona cursed viciously. "You'll regret treating me like this one day!"
Before Walter could say anything else, Fiona took the opportunity while Levi and the others were caught off guard to quickly escape. The roaring sound of a car engine could be heard as it sped away from the yard.
Afraid of being taken to the police by Walter, she hurriedly escaped. Levi and the others looked at Walter, who had a stern expression and didn't say a word before he turned and left.
Shakira curled up on the large sofa and was not noticed from the beginning. She was still a bit confused, unable to fully understand the situation. It was because of Walter's straightforward admission, and even more so, because of Fiona's curse,
The tangles in her mind began to clear up gradually. Could it be that Fiona had gone to such lengths to target her because she found out she was Lonely Bird?
Shakira pursed the lips, and her expression filled with mixed emotions.
Normally, if nothing unusual happened, Walter kept a strict schedule and would rest by ten. Shakira lingered until almost eleven before she slowly returned to the bedroom,
The room was pitch black. 'He should be asleep? Shakira thought And she quietly closed the door, planning to go to the bathroom to freshen up.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Just a few steps in, and suddenly all the lights in the room came on. The man she thought was sound asleep was now sitting in a wheelchair, waiting for her at the door of the suite.
He was still wearing the same clothes from that afternoon, unchanged and dry by pow. He had been upset earlier because it reminded him of unpleasant memories from the past. Walter's reaction wasn't unreasonable because she just let her emotions take over for a bit.
She wasn't sure what was bothering her, but seeing him like this gave Shakira an indescribable feeling. Her lips moved slightly before she slowly managed to say, "..."
"I'm sorry." He said those three words even faster than she did. Shakira was a bit stunned, momentarily unsure how to respond
