Under the Heiress' Facade

After ariving at the third door, Lilith pushed the door open and gestured inside. “I’m not sure if this matches your taste. Look around and let me know it it suits you, or if you’d Tke to add anything”

The room boasted a chic, princess–like decor, belmming with feminine allure. However, it failed to resonate with Hera’s preferences

Feeling Lilith’s hopeful gaze upon her, Hera reluctantly added. “It’s alright-”

Before she could finish speaking, someone forcefully pushed her, causing her to lose her balance and stagger

“Out! This is my shady!” Gino’s glare bore into Hera with intense hostility, resembling a lit fuse ready to explode,

Lith found herself caught in the middle. She asked, “Hera, are you okay? Gino, didn’t we agree that this room was meant for your sister?”

Gino’s expected outburst lett Lilith feeling flustered

The second and third floors of the mansion were fully occupied, leaving only the housekeeper’s room and guest rooms on the first floor.

Given Hera’s status as a member of the Everett family, staying on the first Goot was out of the question. Thus, Lilith arranged an agreement with Gino.

Gino agreed to share a study with Godeon, thereby vacating Gino’s study for Bertout as her room.

“She’s not my sister! I don’t have a sister who showed up from the countryside!” Gino objected strongly, trying to push Hera away again.

Hera gracefully sidestepped his advance.

Caught off guard by her agility, Gino stumbled and collided with the foot of the bed Instantly, his pained cries echoed through the room.

“What’s wrong?What’s going on? Mildred’s voice came from behind

Giselle had helped Mildred up to the third floor.

Gino canto Mildred and burst into tears. “Granda, help me! This hick just shoved me!”

Hera stayed quiet.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry I’ll handle this fairly for you” Mildred comforted him by parring his back, “Let me see where you’re hurt.”

Gino’s face was a mess of tears and snot. He had a big bump on his forehead.

“Oh dear, how did you hurt yourself so badly? Will it affect how you look? Giselle exclaimed dramatically

Gndered even harder at the mention of his appearance being affected

“Gino, let me see I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not watching you closely enough.” Lith anxiously tried to approach Gino, but Mildred pushed her away.

“What are you waiting for? quickly, call the doctor!” Mildred scolded her, then glared at Her “we’ll talk about this later!

Herz remained silent.

The mansion was in chaos. Everyone’s attention was centered on Gine.

Watching Hera being left on the sidelines filled diselle with satisfaction. She saw Heraas nothing more than a country bumpkin umworthy of Lilith’s attention

Gino sobbed in Mildred’s arms in the living room downstairs. His putty, red eyes bugged at Mildred’s heartstrings. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Mildred scolded Lilith, selling her to urge the family doctor, and instructed Judy to fetch a hot pack. Before long, Judy returned with one

“Gina, stop crying. Applying this hot pack should help.” Mildred reassured, preparing to apply the hot pack

But before she could, a stem voice cut in, “Don’t use that. Use ice cubes instead

Mildred turned to see Hera standing on the staircase.

Hera was still clad in her tattered, snug dress, with her bag sling over her shoulder. She had an air of confidence that made Mildred suddenly uncertain if she was a city dweller or from the countryside.

“What makes you think you know better? Using a hot pack can boost blood flow and reduce swelling,” Mildred retorted and glared at Hera

Mildred carefully applied the hot pack over the sizable bump on Gino’s forehead

“Ouch!” Gino winced and began to resist.

“You need to bear with it. Applying the hot pack over the swollen area is necessary for reducing the swelling,” Mildred insisted.

e signaled for Judy to help in keeping Gino sell.

Lith sympathized with Gino but didn’t dare oppose Mildred’s instructions. She could only watch amdously.

In that instant, Mildred felt someone grab her hand. Her eyes sparked with anger when she realized it was Hera. “What are you doing?”

Hera remained cold and repeated, “You should use a cold compress”

“Move aside! Don’t meddle. I know what I’m doing. Why would I hurt my grandson? Mildred yanked her hand away from Hera’s grip.

She had seen Fanny Paterson, her friend, use this technique to ease swelling and bruises on her grandson before. There was no way she could be mistaken! Herastayed quiet.

Sering the opportunity, Gino squirmed out of Mildred’s embrace and into Lilith’s. His face was covered in tears and snot. He looked utterly miserable. Mildred boiled with anger just as she was about to instruct judy to bring Gino back to her, the family doctor, Wilbur Hobgood, arrived.
