The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 131

Sean looked completely baffled, "What do you mean?"

Shakira said, "If I'm not mistaken, Mitchell's disappearance is the work of Yvette and Lago."

Sean took a sharp breath, "No way! Wasn't Mitchell guarding her like a mother hen protects its chicks? Why would she do that, what's her motive?" Support

A dark flicker passed through Shakira's eyes, "Because Mitchell doesn't blindly her like before, now he's in her way."

Sean trembled all over. Although he usually acted casually, when it came to serious matters, he was more thorough than

anyone.

He immediately guessed the situation, "Recently, Mitchell has been frequently trying to get on your good side and persuading people at the Nelson residence to reconnect with you. This undoubtedly threatened Yvette's interests!" Shakira spoke calmly, "Mitchell disappeared on his way to find the nurse involved in the past mix-up. The address was deliberately given to lead him into a trap. They want the Nelsons to believe Mitchell got into trouble because of me, increasing their hatred towards me." Shakira lowered her voice, "I don't want to get involved in this mess, but I also won't take the blame." By t

then, Sean realized the seriousness of the situation. He stopped joking and set aside his bias against Mitchell, replying seriously, "I'll have someone look into it right away." The tech experts under Sean were some of the best in the country, and it didn't take them long to pinpoint the county where Mitchell had exited the freeway right before the incident. But they still couldn't i

n't figure out exactly where Mitchell had gone.

"That county is quite underdeveloped, with only a few cameras on the main roads. Only three managed to capture Mitchell's Porsche, but they couldn't determine which village he was heading towards." Sean couldn't help but complain, "Mitchell must be crazy, coming out to this deserted rural area in the middle of the night to meet someone. Was it really that urgent? Couldn't he have waited till morning?" Shakira stared intently at the traffic camera footage she received on her phone.

The image quality was poor, but you could vaguely see Mitchell looking anxious and restless while waiting at the traffic lights.

He was really anxious as if he couldn't wait for another second.

A flicker of something crossed Shakira's eyes, "Sean, get me a sports car."

Sean understood what she meant and quickly chimed in, "I'm coming too!"

"I know it hasn't been 48 hours yet, so it's unusual to ask the police for such an extensive search, but I know my son. I have to beg you for your help!"

Fraser nodded, "Rules are set, but humans are flexible. Don't worry too much. I've reached out to various parties to help locate Mr. Nelson. I'm confident we'll have news soon."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Gibbs."

"There's no need to thank me. It's our job. You two should take a short break while I handle the arrangements," said Fraser.

After Fraser left,

Yvette gently reassured Rebecca, "Mom and Dad, Fraser is really good at this kind of search. I'm sure we'll hear news about Mitchell soon. You haven't slept all night; how about resting in the car? We can manage here." Rebecca wiped away her unstoppable tears and held onto Yvette who was incredibly sweet, feeling a little touched. "Yvette, Joe, we're so thankful to have you with us. We wouldn't know what to do without you!" Joe comforted, "Nor "No need to be so formal, Ma'am. We're all worried about Mr. Lopez's disappearance. Fraser is a reasonable man; I'm sure we'll hear good news soon."

Yeah, Mom, I feel partly responsible for Mitchell's disappearance..." Yvette said.

Yvette lowered her face, close to tears, her voice filled with sadness and helplessness. "At home, Mitchell and I have the best relationship, yet I didn't even realize he was secretly searching for that nurse from years back. "If I'd known earlier, I'd have gone with him. Maybe having one more person would have prevented it."

As

Yvette was speaking, her , her voice cracked, choked I by emotion, leaving her unable to continue.

"You silly child!" Rebecca couldn't help but feel sorry. "Do you think I don't know? Mitchell is all about Shakira now, and there's distance between you two? Instead of blaming him for ignoring you, you're still looking out for him. I'm going to give him a good talking-to. That fool can't even tell who's close and who's not!" Rebecca said. Hearing the name Shakira, Yvette kept her head down, covering her face. Hearing their words, she felt secretly pleased.

"When he comes back, Cody's face darkened, and he spoke through clenched teeth. "This should teach him a lesson. He spent all his money on Shakira. What's the use of being like a dog wagging his tail for her? She wouldn't even lift a finger to save him!"

Joe frowned, "Maybe Shakira really doesn't know about this. Her abilities are limited, so she wouldn't be much help anyway." Hearing Joe speak up for Shakira, Yvette bit her lip in frustration. Soon, she managed a weak smile on her pale face, "Joe's right. As a sister, Shakira doesn't have much influence, so we can't push her too hard to handle Mitchell's matters."

Cody looked even more disgusted, "Completely useless, only able to rely on men. Such a filthy, selfish person. Only someone foolish like Mitchell would believe him without a doubt!" Rebecca couldn't help but say, "Don't blame Mitchell. He's just too soft-hearted and fell for Shakira's trick. With Yvette on our side, I'm sure Mitchell will get through this safely," Cody's face was stern, looking both furious and disgusted.

Chapter 131

Shakira a

asked Xanthe to cover for her at work, then asked the Uber driver to change the address to a car dealership. Half an hour later, a black Ferrari sped out of the dealership, racing towards the neighboring county like an arrow. Sean's hands clung to the car's roof handle tightly like iron chains, as the fierce wind rushed into his open mouth. "Wow, slow down a little," Sean yelled.

Dressed in black, tight-fitting clothes, Shakira stayed calm, "If you want to go slower, get out and take another ride." Sean watched as cars zoomed past on both sides, "Oh no, no other cars can keep up with you!"

Shakira's eyes darkened, "Then stop chatting and hold on tight!"

As she finished speaking, she floored the gas pedal. Sean was so scared he clung to the seat like a quail, not daring to say another word.

An hour and a half later, Shakira stopped at the toll booth. Rolling down the window, She revealed her strikingly charming face, her profile was flawless. The toll booth girl stared at her, transfixed, her cheeks turning a soft pink.

After paying the highway toll, Shakira suddenly thought of something, turned, and smiled, "Excuse me, were you on duty last night?"
