Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 459

Frederick knew very well that Rhett was giving him a chance to prove himself to Chad. He answered confidently, "Alright, I'll contact Raven and work out the details. I won't let the family down."

Chad nodded in satisfaction. If only Bernard were just as obedient. How good would that be?

"Mr. Chad, Mr. Rhett, Mrs. Killian has brought Mrs. Jones and Dr. Shadow along with her," Neil announced at that moment.

As he finished speaking, Karen led Hera and Catherine into the hall. Hera was familiar with this place as she came here often as a child.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The Killian residence was extensive, and every family had its own quarters. Usually, each family would dine at their own home. They would only gather at the banquet hall to receive distinguished guests or for family gatherings.

Hera and Catherine felt like they were walking into a trap since Chad and Karen were hosting them for dinner.

While seated at the head of the table, Chad spotted Hera from afar. From that moment, he finally understood why Bernard had been so adamant about not ending the relationship with her.

The young Hera had grown into a slender and graceful young lady with a flawless face and aloof demeanor.

Based on looks alone, Camille could never compare to her. In addition, Hera was the true miracle doctor. Whether it was appearance or capability, there was no doubt that Hera was definitely the daughter-in- law that every wealthy family desired.

But Hera was once Lucius' daughter. Although she ended up with the Killians by accident and was not biologically related, Bernard was once her uncle. How could he even fall for her, let alone marry her?

Chad could not get over that and was unable to accept Hera and Bernard's relationship.

"You used to live here once, so I'm sure you remember all of them, right? They're Mr. Chad, Mr. Rhett, and Frederick," Karen introduced each of them. "This is Mrs. Jones and Hera."

Hera clenched her jaw while coldly assessing each of them before finally landing her gaze on Frederick. Disgust flashed through her eyes as she recalled how he used to tease her as a child and snitch on Bernard.

Frederick also scrutinized Hera, feeling somewhat repulsed and jealous. He never expected that Hera, who used to follow Bernard everywhere, would turn out to be the miracle doctor.

He didn't care that she used to shadow Bernard everywhere when she was a child, but how could she get together with him after growing up? Frederick found her truly repulsive.

They looked at each other with disgust before looking away with revulsion.

"Take a seat. Dinner is ready, so let's eat first," Chad announced politely. Thus, Karen ordered Neil to

serve the dishes before courteously inviting Catherine and Hera to take a seat.

Hera recalled how Bernard was once poisoned and Aurora's miserable condition. Thus, she wasn't interested in having food served by the Killians.

Without moving, she calmly said, "Whatever it is, you can get to the point."
