Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 179

"Mr. Thompson, it's an honor to see you here! Please take a seat!"

Brandon quickly approached Shaun and began showering him with respect. He invited Shaun to sit on the couch.

But Shaun moved to sit on Brandon's office chair right away with his hands stuck in his pockets. He proceeded to put his feet up on the desk as well. Then, he lit a cigar.

Upon witnessing Shaun's antics, the assistant was shocked, to say the least.

This was his first time seeing someone acting so boldly in front of Kane and Brandon.

Nonetheless, this was expected of Shaun Thompson, who descended from one of the four influential families. His grandfather was the famous Alex Thompson, who used to be a general in his time. It was no wonder everyone addressed Shaun with reverence.

"Your seat seems pretty comfy, huh?" Shaun commented after taking a drag out of his cigar and exhaling the smoke slowly.

The thin wisps shrouded the outline of his handsome face.

Brandon could feel chills running down his spine after hearing Shaun's words. He stood up straight, his smile turning stiff.

"S-Surely you must be kidding, Mr. Thompson."

"Am I kidding?" Shaun's expression changed drastically at the word. "You've grown bold enough to lay a hand on my sister-in-law! Do I look like I'm kidding?"

Brandon was so shocked by the outburst that he didn't know what to do.

"Y-Your sister-in-law, sir?"

Didn't Alex only have one grandson? How was it possible for Shaun to have a sister-in-law?

"How preposterous!" Kane had already taken the liberty to review the case his assistant had passed to him. He was so furious that he hurled the case file right at Brandon. "Release her this instant!"

Brandon stared down at the papers from the case file scattered everywhere on the floor. The paper on top of the mess revealed Hera's full name, causing his breath to hitch in his throat.

Hera was Shaun's sister-in-law?

Didn't Queenie claim that Hera was just a country bumpkin with no power at all?

What the hell was going on?

Shaun was the one who brought Kane to the office just to demand Brandon release Hera!
