Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 181

"No problem," Kane promised heartily.

He then summoned Nathan to the cell and told him to take over the brand-new case. At the same time, he ordered the other officers to take Brandon away so that they could start investigating him.

Once Kane was done issuing his orders, he said to Hera, "Ms. Youngworth, we're now launching the respective investigations. In that case, would you like to visit my office for a while? Perhaps you'd like to have a bite to eat there?"

Things would be way easier as long as Hera agreed to leave the detention facility.

"It's fine. I'll wait right here," Hera rejected the suggestion.

If she were to leave the cell, Queenie would never be charged with the crime of falsely accusing her of something she didn't do.

Meanwhile, Shaun decided to bombard Bernard with WhatsApp messages.

Daddy Shaun: "Bernard, as expected of the lady who catches your eye!"

Daddy Shaun: "She's a ruthless one, that's for sure!"

Daddy Shaun: "You'd better watch out for yourself in the future. Don't go around provoking your future wife, alright? Otherwise, you'll be facing nasty consequences!"

Back in the study at Skyview Heights, Bernard sat in front of his computer with his elbows resting on the desk. He intertwined his fingers and placed them before his lips; his sharp eyes fixated on the monitor before him.

The monitor was playing the live footage from the security cameras' feed in the detention facility. In fact, this particular angle was directed at Hera's cell. White codes were swiftly streaking across the black backdrop at the bottom of the footage.

At that moment, his phone screen lit up. Bernard glanced at the screen to see Shaun's barrage of messages. Only then did he decide to pick it up.

Then, he texted Shaun back.

A second later, Shaun's formerly relaxed expression contorted instantly on the footage.

Bernard: "I've already snapped a screenshot of this conversation. I'll forward it to Hera later on."

Shaun fell silent after that.

Seriously, Bernard and Hera really were alike in certain ways.

…

Since Hera refused to leave the detention facility, Kane was extremely stressed. If he couldn't get Hera to leave, he'd get berated by his higher-ups later on.
