Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 720

"What does that have to do with me?" Hera asked coldly.

Neil was feeling torn. Bernard refused to answer his calls and did not want to see him. Thus, Neil decided to try his luck and ask Hera to help out. After all, Bernard was willing to listen to her.

But Neil never expected that Hera would be so cold.

"Mr. Bernard is devoted to you, Ms. Youngworth. Surely, you want him to have a better future, right?" Neil asked warmly.

"So?" Hera asked.

"When Mr. Killian Senior was still alive, Mr. Bernard was his favorite child. Before his death, he even left behind all his shares at Killian Corporation to Mr. Bernard. That means he intended to leave the company to him.

"Back then, Mr. Bernard was still quite young, so he couldn't manage the entire Killian family yet. Thus, Mr. Chad took over as the head of the family first.

"Now that Mr. Bernard has grown up, it's also about time for him to start managing the headquarters' affairs. Once Mr. Chad retires in a few years and hands over the position of the head of the family to him, Mr. Bernard will get used to the workload quickly."

Hera snorted. Bernard cared for none of that.

"Ms. Youngworth…"

"Why are you speaking to her?" Bernard's icy voice drifted through the doorway, interrupting Neil.

Neil looked back, having heard Bernard. "Mr. Killian."

"Get lost!" Bernard yelled.

Neil hesitated since he had not completed the task entrusted by Chad yet.

Since Neil did not leave, Bernard continued, "Do you want someone to drag you out?"

"My apologies for disturbing you. I'll leave now." Neil knew that Bernard was capable of carrying out his threat. It would be too embarrassing if that actually happened, so Neil left in resignation.

"Mr. Chad, don't speak out of anger," Neil advised. He did not continue by saying that Chad would always end up eating his words after saying things in anger.

Instead, Neil continued, "Mr. Bernard has always been like this. You know as well that he responds to kindness, not force. The more you argue with him, the more rebellious he becomes. Young people are usually very prideful.

"Instead, you should set aside your pride as the head of the family and speak to him as a compassionate elder brother. He'll definitely be touched."

Chad did not respond. He was always worried for Bernard. Chad even sent Bernard away to the military immediately so that he could get rid of his terrible attitude.

Chad thought that Bernard would improve after going through the discipline routines at the military. Instead, he only seemed to have gotten worse.

"Will that really work?" Chad was suspicious.

"That's how my wife communicates with my granddaughter," Neil explained, rendering Chad speechless.
