Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 760

From Daphne's horror and look of disbelief, Ember knew she had overheard everything. If Albert learned of the truth, Rhett would be completely done for.

Ember wanted him to succeed Albert as the next head of the family, so she would never let Daphne tell anyone the truth.

"When did you get here, Daphne?" Ember stepped forward and asked with a forced smile.

Daphne noticed Ember's unfriendly smile and did not answer her. Instead, she asked anxiously, "Mom, have you seen Cecily? I don't know where she went and haven't been able to find her."

Ember grew suspicious upon hearing that. She scrutinized Daphne's expression as if she were trying to catch her lying.

"Ms. Cecily didn't show up here, Ms. Daphne," the maid beside Ember responded to Daphne.

"Alright. I'll check out Bernard's place, then," Daphne said before turning to leave in a hurry.

Ember watched Daphne dash away with a sinister gaze. Indeed, Daphne had heard everything. Ember would not let her live for long.

Gemma happened to turn up at the same time. She had seen Daphne dashing off while she was on the way here.

"Mrs. Killian Senior, what was Daphne doing here?" Gemma asked.

A glint of deviousness flashed through Ember's eyes as she replied, "Gemma, I don't think your secret will stay hidden for long."

Gemma was frightened to hear that and immediately tugged at Ember's hand. "Mrs. Killian Senior, did she find any evidence?"

Ember looked solemn and did not respond. Noticing her demeanor made Gemma more terrified than ever. "What should I do? I don't want to go to jail.

"Mrs. Killian Senior, you must help me since we're in the same boat. Please quickly help me come up with an idea."

"In the end, Rhett didn't become the head of the family. He was merely appointed as the CEO of Killian Corporation," the interrogator remarked.

"Exactly. I never expected that Albert would hand over all his shares to Bernard, that illegitimate child of his. He even made Chad the head of the family!" Ember exclaimed disdainfully. "I can understand what he did for Chad. But Bernard doesn't deserve those shares!"

It went silent in the control room. After hearing the whole story, Hera clenched her fists tightly.

The situation was so ironic. No wonder Lucius said that the whole Killian family would go to jail if Hera continued her investigation.

The Killians had schemed against each other for so many years. However, they were surprisingly united to keep the whole matter a secret and protect one another.

Bernard never expected that matter would expose the truth behind the death of Chad's baby. Instead of feeling sorry for Chad, Bernard merely thought that he had gotten off easy.

"What's next?" Joshua asked. He then subconsciously continued, "Will the matter be handled privately or according to the law?"
