Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 117

This was how she felt after losing her home for over a decade.

Hera hummed in agreement.

"Get some rest. Goodnight," Gideon said with a smile.

"Goodnight," Hera replied.

Gideon didn't immediately go to sleep when he returned to his room. Instead, he made a phone call to a friend who worked as a police officer.

"Felton, did you find anything on the license plate number I requested?"

He was referring to the car's license plate number that had followed Hera home half an hour ago.

"Yeah, I found something. The car belonged to the general manager of a Killian Corporation branch in Norburgh," the voice on the other end confirmed.

"And who was the general manager?" Gideon inquired.

"Bernard Killian."

"Alright, thanks."

Hera was still underage, and Bernard, who was in his 20's, was clearly exploiting her youth.
