Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 462

Hera was somewhat surprised to see Bernard return so quickly. She wanted to ask how Tiramisu was doing, but he merely glared coldly at Chad and the rest of them. He did not look at her.

She then looked at Giselle, who had followed Bernard into the hall. Hera wasn't surprised to see her at the Killian residence as it would be odd if she weren't here.

Although she had returned to the Killians, Hera was still angry at her for treating Catherine so harshly.

"Giselle, you... Unlike Hera, Catherine was shocked to see Giselle, who also seemed to dress more lavishly than she did with the Everetts.

Catherine finally understood that she was unable to locate Giselle because she had already returned to the Killian family for some time, and they had also acknowledged her as family.

Although she had guessed earlier that Giselle might show up at the Killian residence, she was still astonished to see it with her own eyes. She felt even more distressed upon recalling how Giselle had treated her before leaving.

Giselle also noticed Catherine's presence and suddenly felt guilty. On second thought, as long as she did not admit to her past actions, they could not do anything to her.

Besides, Giselle also knew that Catherine couldn't bear to do anything to her. After all, she was her biological granddaughter and her only kin left in this world.

But she had to stop Hera from staying at the Killian residence. Giselle assumed that after working hard, she would definitely be more talented than Hera the next time she saw her.

As it turned out, not only was Hera an academic prodigy, but she was also the famous miracle doctor sought by many wealthy families. Even Chad wanted her to remain with the Killians.

Chad suddenly felt a headache coming on as he watched them enter, especially when he spotted Bernard.

Chad then sternly said, 'Since everyone is here, let's hear Hera's decision."

Since he couldn't convince Bernard, he wanted to try his luck by attempting to adopt Hera. Not only would Bernard become her uncle again, but Chad could even recruit her, the miracle doctor, into the family. It would be killing two birds with one stone.

"Once you're a Killian again, you'll enjoy all the privileges that come with being family," Chad answered Hera. How could she not understand what Chad had in mind? He just wanted to have her within the family as she had received numerous requests from various wealthy families.

But she noticed Giselle's anxious expression and intentionally asked, "If I become a Killian again, what about her?"

Hearing that made Giselle very nervous. She was worried that she would be overlooked in the family if Hera agreed to Chad's request. She unconsciously clenched her fists, holding back her jealousy and fury while waiting for Chad's answer.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Bernard gazed at Hera in confusion as if he had never expected her to ask such a question. Did she truly want to become part of the Killian family again?

"Gianna is one of us, so she will be part of the family as well," Chad explained. It seemed that she had a different name after being acknowledged by the Killians.

Upon hearing that, Giselle did not hesitate and pinched her thigh hard, bringing tears to her eyes.

She then exclaimed, 'Hera, I won't blame you for not telling me my true identity back then. But I've finally found my home. How could you be so harsh to take this away from me? I clearly..."

"You clearly didn't want to give up your identity as Ms. Everett and return to the village. Thus, you used your status as Zyler's future wife to remain the daughter of the Everett family.

"You even forced them to announce that Hera was adopted while you continued to live a luxurious life. Why

are you singing a different tune now?" Bernard coldly glanced at Giselle, his voice sounding as icy as ever while interrupting her.

Giselle was startled. She never could have imagined that although Hera said nothing, Bernard had ruthlessly exposed her. After all, she was his biological niece.
