Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

After Hera finished washing up and came downstairs, she noticed a lively atmosphere outside the door, indicating that someone had visited them. She paid it little mind and joined Gideon at the dining table 

Just as she was about to have breakfast, she heard James‘ ingratiating voice from the living room. “I didn’t know you would come, Mr. Killan. We’re honored by your presence.” 

“Judy, hurry and brew some coffee.” Mildred’s voice rang out. 

Hera turned around and saw Mildred and James respectfully leading Bernard toward the living room, with Douglas and Lilith following behind. 

She hadn’t imagined Benard would actually show up! 

Gideon caught wind of the voice as well. A brief hint of annoyance flashed across his face as he pondered why the old man was here and if Bernard was trying to take Hera away

Meanwhile, in the living room, Bernard spoke up as he glanced toward the dining area, “It’s fine. I’m here to pick up Hera” As soon as he entered the residence, he caught sight of Hera heading toward the dining room 

Heta promptly turned around, deciding to fill her stomach first before anything ele 

Hearing that, Mildred was somewhat shocked. 

James and Lilith had already seen Bernard visit the Everett residence before. Though they were not as shocked as Mildred, they were still quite surprised. 

In fact, no one had expected Bernard to stoop so low as to come and pick up Hera himself! At the same time, they didn’t understand why Bernard would do that. They couldn’t help but wonder if Bernard had taken an interest in Hera. To them, he was a super–rich son–in–law who was hard to find! 

James quickly said, “Please wait a moment. Lilith, could you go and get Hera?” 

“There’s no rush. Let her finish breakfast first” Bernard raised his hand to stop them and waited on the couch. 

He despised sycophants like James and disliked everyone in the Everett residence. He knew full well everything they had done to Hera. If it weren’t for Hera stopping him from intervening, the Everett residence would have been long gone. 

Since Hera was willing to stay at the Everett residence for over a week, it meant the place wasn’t too unbearable. Moreover, no matter how much he disliked it, James and Lilith were still has future in–laws, so he instinctively humbled hansel and answered whatever they asked, 

In the dining room, Gideon noticed Heracalmly eating her breakfast, clearly uninterested in dealing with the people outside. He somehow grasped her feelings. “I’ll take care of him for you” with that, he put down his cutlery, wiped his mouch with a napkin, and stood up to head out. 

Hera was at a loss for words. 

Gideon walked to the living room and extended his right hand out of courtesy. “Bernard, no, I should call you Mr. Killian.” 

After Albert passed away, the new family head and his brothers were all elevated to the title “Mr.” However, Bernard was just over ten years old at the time, so calling him that seemed overly mature. As a result, many outsiders continued to call him by his firstname.
