Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 513

Hera smirked and sent a message to Tyler via WhatsApp. "Thank you."

Meanwhile, Giselle felt irritated while watching the livestream at the Killian residence and screamed, "Such fools! Vanessa, quickly ask them to end the livestreams!"

"I can't contact them. You should quickly contact the paid media instead and ask them to delete their previous articles." Vanessa was so anxious that she began to sweat profusely.

She never realized that villagers like Amanda and Louis were that useless. Not only did they fail to achieve their task, but they even started arguing with each other in front of the crowd.

If Linda knew about this, Vanessa's bonus for the month would go up in smoke. She wouldn't have agreed to serve Giselle if she knew how stupid she was from the start.

Before the tweets and linked articles on Twitter were deleted in time, the netizens received the latest developments on the story.

"Oh, so it was Ms. Gianna of the Killian family who paid others to cause trouble earlier."

Later, many discovered that she was the fake daughter of the Everetts in Norburgh, where the news had spread like wildfire throughout the city. It seemed like it was true that Hera, the Everett family's actual daughter, was mistaken as the baby of the Killian family.

Back then, the Killians fought hard for the position of head of the family. Lucius murdered Greg and was sentenced to prison, and Daphne died of an accident not too long later.

Twelve years had passed. Hera, who was believed to be dead, actually returned. Although she wasn't their biological daughter, she became a renowned miracle doctor and hacker. She was even dating Bernard, which was quite the buzz.

The reporters from various media outlets also caught wind of the gossip and hurried toward Killian Corporation and the Killian residence.

Chad learned of this news very quickly. He had just finished a meeting with Rhett and Frederick and learned about what happened at XS Corporation's annual banquet, especially how Hera could be both Vulcan and Raven at the same time.

After pondering in silence, he finally decided that they would continue seeking her out for a collaboration for the sake of the company's expansion.

In the end, he heard about all the ugly things Giselle had done. Thus, he gave Karen a call, and she immediately summoned Giselle to her living quarters.

"What do you know about those comments online and the reporters at the door?" Karen interrogated.

"I... I don't know." Giselle lowered her head quiltily

"You have no idea? But why are they saying that you ordered them to do so?" Karen threw the tablet at Giselle as it played a video of Amanda and Louis arguing.

Startled, Giselle burst into tears. 'Aunt Karen, I truly didn't do it. I don't know why they would accuse me like that-'

"Would they do it just for fun?" Karen interrupted.

"I'

"Vanessa has already informed me of what you've been up to for the past few days. Don't think you can use the same tricks on me as you did on the Everetts! Here in the Killian family, we take responsibility for our own mistakes!" Karen said sternly.

Giselle turned to look at Vanessa in shock. She could not believe that Vanessa, who said they were on the same boat ten minutes ago, had betrayed her.

"Ms. Killian, don't push the blame on me. As maids, this is what we should do," Vanessa explained righteously.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Giselle was in a tough spot, unable to voice out her misery. She couldn't interrogate Vanessa in front of Karen. Thus, she could only accept fate and admit her mistakes.

"I'm sorry."

Karen exclaimed, "What's the point of telling me you're sorry? Ms. Youngworth is Aury's benefactor and the talent who Killian Corporation plans to collaborate with! Are you trying to destroy our new project by ruining her?"

Giselle lowered her head as she clenched her fists, biting her lower lip hard in frustration.

Why wouldn't Hera die? She was the one who had stolen her spot as a member of the Killian family, but Giselle seemed to always be in the wrong

"I see that all your months of learning our family's rules of conduct and etiquette were for nothing. You'll be confined to the study hall for the next three months and won't be allowed to leave! Once this matter is resolved, you'll await your punishment!" Karen said.

She continued, "Remember to copy the family's rules of conduct ten times every day. If you make the same mistake again, you won't be just grounded to study! Take her away!"

Giselle limped toward the study hall while being helped by a maid. The study hall was located at the most deserted part of the Killian residence. It was a cold and desolate place.

She was very disgruntled and resentful of the decision. She returned to the Killians so that she could enjoy the wealth and luxury.

Before she could even do so, she was restrained in every manner. Everything about this household was about the family's rules of conduct. If not that, she found herself in someone else's traps.

All this was far from what Giselle had imagined when she first returned to the Killian family.
