Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 182

Zyler no longer had to worry about the possibility of becoming a mute.

"Mom, I can talk!" he exclaimed excitedly. But when he raised his head, he noticed everyone else staring at him as though he was an idiot.

"Since you're not injured to the point that you can't walk, you'll be following us to the police station as well," Nathan stated.

Zyler also thought that Hera was about to receive her jail sentence, so he nodded in agreement.

He wanted to witness Hera getting thrown into jail.

Under the passersby's curious gazes, Nathan took Queenie and Zyler back to the police station. Then, he led them to the detention facility.

Both Kane and Shaun happened to be away at the moment, leaving only an officer keeping Hera company.

The sight of Hera playing on her phone in her cell put Zyler in a good mood. For a moment, he really wished that Christopher was there to witness this scene.

But Queenie had a feeling that something was wrong. Still, her sense of superiority muddled her brain just enough to temporarily ignore that weird feeling.

"Oh? It turns out that Gideon didn't even hire a lawyer for you, huh?" she asked mockingly.

Hera was sitting in front of the security camera with the back of her phone facing the camera. She was in the midst of completing the mission Piglet had accepted for her, so she didn't bother sparing Queenie a glance.

It was then Queenie finally realized why things felt off for her.

Hera's cell door was wide open, not to mention she was playing on her phone! Weirdly enough, Brandon was absent as well!

Typically speaking, suspects detained in the detention facility would have their means of communication confiscated immediately.

"I've brought them here."

At that moment, Kane and Shaun returned to the cell from the men's washroom.

Queenie was shocked when she turned around to see them. She initially thought that Brandon was the one who had invited them to the detention facility.

Truth be told, Queenie had always wanted to kiss up to the famous Thompson family, who was known for its military prowess and achievements. But she never had a chance to do so in the past.

How was Brandon able to invite Shaun to this place?

Queenie was perplexed, to say the least. Either she, Zyler, or Hera was the reason why Shaun decided to come.

Since Shaun didn't come at the Gaskells' behest, could it be that he came here because of Hera?

That was impossible. Hera had grown up in the countryside. How was it possible for her to get acquainted with Shaun?
