The True Heiress's Return

Cody gritted his teeth with a sullen face. He was not in the mood to talk. Selena turned to Yvette for answers. With Cody right there, Yvette didn't dare to play any tricks and explained everything from start to finish cautiously. After hearing everything, Selena took a big step back in disbelief "What did Walter mean? Seeing Yonder Digital suppressing our family, he wants to kick us when we're down regardless of this bond between our five major families?" The whole family came to Silverwave Mountain to seek blessings, but before they could even leave the mountain, another disaster struck them.

Even Finn, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't keep his composure anymore when he heard that Lopez Group was also entering the competition. The invisible pressure kept building, making him feel suffocated.

Felix frowned and said, "What did Mr. Bethune mean by 'restore everything to how it was? Does it mean that we have to bring Shakira back?"

As soon as he said that, Cody and Rebecca shouted angrily together, "No way!"

Cody gritted his teeth in anger. "That ungrateful brat! Not only does she disrespect her elders, but she also just watches Walter oppose us, even though she knows how many external threats our family is facing right now. I don't have such an ungrateful daughter!"

To him, the priorities were the Nelson Group and the family's interests. Walter's sudden defiance was triggered by Shakira, and Shakira's indifferent attitude was something Cody couldn't stand.

Rebecca's eyes reddened with anger as she shouted, "Mitchell's fate is still uncertain! How can I live under the same roof as the person who harmed him?!

"Besides, Mr. Bethune didn't clearly say that Shakira should return to her position. Maybe he meant we should return our lives before we found Shakira. Yvette is our family's mascot!"

Yvette's lips moved slightly, and then she quietly lowered her head. Listening to the conversation, Selena slightly frowned.

This time, she didn't share the same opinion as her son and daughter-in-law. Since Norman didn't say everything clearly, she was cautious about making assumptions. However, she had an inexplicable feeling that it was Shakira who should return to her rightful position. As the family had their own thoughts, that church worker approached with a small wooden box with intricate carvings.

He respectfully presented it with both hands and said, "Mr. Nelson has contributed generously to our church over the years. Mr. Bethune wants to give you a bracelet that he has consecrated for ten years as a gift.

"Wearing it brings good luck to kind-hearted people, and it'll also protect the family."

The Nelson family was thrilled. Norman was highly esteemed, and anything made by him was priceless. Receiving such a precious item was a great privilege for anyone.

Cody felt nothing but gratitude now and earnestly said, "Please let Mr. Bethune know how grateful we are. Our family will definitely cherish this gift!"

He knew head Norman was compassionate and wouldn't abandon him. He thought of something, turned to look at Yvette, and handed her the wooden box.

He said, "Yvette, you're our mascot. With this bracelet on you, it'll keep you healthy, protect our family, and help Nelson Group overcome tough times!"

Rebecca nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Yvette is undoubtedly the rightful owner of the bracelet."

Mon, Nov 11

Finn didn't care about these matters. Felix's eyes flicked with some emotions, but he didn't oppose.

Yvette was shocked, unable to believe Cody actually gave her such a precious bracelet.

She thought, 'Cody was right, I'm the family's mascot. Wearing this fortune-enhancing bracelet will only bring more good luck to the Nelson family and boost the Nelson Group's busines Yvette looked visibly flattered, but she was actually very smug in her mind. She happily accepted it and responded sweetly, "Thank you, Dad. I'll do my best to help both the company and our family!" Those words made Cody and Rebecca very delighted. Even Selena couldn't help but feel pleased, "This trip isn't a waste, after all." Cody couldn't help but feel triumphant. "With Master Norman's bracelet protecting us, that bastard will never be able to ruin our family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a snap, and the bracelet Yvette had just put on broke. The beads scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, the onlookers who were envious of them receiving Norman's gift outside the side hall exclaimed, "That item just broke! This is an ominous sign!"

"That young girl looked fine. How could she be unable to afford it? Is it because her sins are so heavy that even the bracelet doesn't want to accept her?" "Maybe their whole family has issues. They've just ruined such a treasure. What a waste!"

The whole family was stunned.

Yvette thought, 'What kind of junk did that bastard give me? Is he trying to get me into trouble?!' She was so scared that her face went pale, and her heart pounded wildly.

When she was in a panic, something suddenly hit her. She pretended to turn on her phone screen, glanced at it, and immediately said happily, "Mom, Dad, we've got news about Jayden! "He has finished his peacekeeping mission in Helian and is coming home today!"

Rebecca and Selena were shocked to hear that.

"What? That brat went to Helian without telling us? It's having a war there now. It's completely chaotic and dangerous. What was he thinking?" Rebecca was so anxious.

Cody and Finn only got the news from Jayden about two weeks ago. Since accidents would happen at any time, he told them in advance.

At this moment, both of them let out a deep sigh of relief. Cody held Rebecca and said, "He went there to safely bring our people back. It's his duty as a soldier. We have to understand him." Rebecca got even angrier. "You guys all knew that?!"

"Jayden didn't want to make Mom and Grandma worried. Thankfully, he's back safely now," Finn explained.

"There's more than that. As the chief commander, he's definitely earned himself a second-class merit after completing the task!" Cody felt proud.

Yvette smiled happily as if she had just snapped out of a daze. "I've heard that protective objects might get damaged after shielding their owner from harm, so maybe Jayden's safe return is a blessing!" Rebecca accepted it at once. "Indeed. As soon as the bracelet broke, Jayden sent Yvette a message saying he was safe. It really

blessed us!"

With this reasonable explanation, both Cody and Selena breathe a sigh of relief.

Selena hadn't calmed down yet, and her palins were still trembling. "The bracelet breaking is definitely a good omen, not a bad one. A peaceful and united family is more important than anything else!" Cody looked at Yvette with admiration and affection. "Looks like I was right. Returning to the original position meant Yvette. It's good we gave her the bracelet. If it had been someone else...

He didn't even dare to think about that possibility.

Yvette modestly replied, "It's because of Jayden's courage and smarts. I can't take the credit."

"You're always being so considerate of others," Rebecca said, feeling distressed about Yvette's quiet efforts.

Yvette smiled naturally and said, "We're a family, aren't we? Why make such distinctions?"

Cody said, "Haha, Yvette's right! Let's go home and get ready to pick up Jayden at the airport!"

Yvette's eyes flickered slightly. "Okay!"

Watching the warm and harmonious scene of the family, Felix pursed his lips slightly. He used to be one of them. Now, standing as an outsider, he only felt a bit strange. He thought, 'Is Jayden's safety really due to Yvette? After they got into the car, Shakira's cold hands finally began to warm up. Walter felt guilty. "I shouldn't have let you wait for me outside."

Shakira didn't mind that. When she was living at the Smith residence, Jessie didn't allow her to use warm water when she was doing housework, claiming it was a waste of money.

During winter nights when she washed bowls, the water was freezing.

But Shakira was quite surprised. "I didn't expect you to have a conversation with Master Norman."

Walter said, "Why?"

Shakira said, "Well, it's just that you two don't seem to be from the same world."

She thought, 'A devil and a saint. There's a huge gap between them!"This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Walter noticed her mischievous and cunning expression and could roughly guess what she was thinking.

He tapped her on the head and said, "I had some confusion, so I asked him for guidance, that's all."

"Huh?" Shakira was even more surprised and then leaned closer to him. "What question is so difficult that even you can't handle it? Do you want me to give you some tips?"
