Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 185

"You can leave first," Hera said all of a sudden.

Shaun could tell that Hera had something to say to Queenie. "Alright. I'll wait for you outside."

After that, he strode out of the detention facility hastily. It seemed that he truly despised the place.

Kane had worked so hard to get Hera out of the cell. He was worried that she might change her mind about leaving, so he shot Nathan a look as a hint for him to wait outside for Hera. Then, he told Shaun to leave with him.

Once those two were gone, Hera was the only one left in the dark corridor. She stood before the iron door while gazing at Queenie, who was the one trapped inside the cell this time. Her eyes were cold and merciless.

Ironically enough, Queenie was the one harping Hera about spending her best years regretting her choices in prison this morning. To think that their identities and positions would be swapped in the afternoon…

"You think you can cripple me by doing this?" Queenie glared at Hera ferociously.

Once the Gaskells bailed her out, she'd definitely destroy Hera. Also, she'd make sure to implicate the entire Everett family as well.

"Well, you'll get sentenced to a number of years in prison just by committing the false accusation and bribery crimes, so I won't be able to destroy you with those crimes. But what if you're pinned with another charge called premeditated murder?" Hera replied coolly.

Queenie's arrogance dissipated instantly. A trace of shock crossed her malice-filled eyes. It might be fleeting, but Hera still managed to capture it.

If one was charged with premeditated murder, they'd definitely be subjected to a death sentence in Jadonia.

"Are you threatening me? That won't work on me, you know!" Queenie snarled out in response.

"Who do you think murdered Isabella?" Hera dove into the topic right away.

Rage had flooded Queenie's mind at that time, but the mention of Isabella's death made her mind go blank. That was how she managed to calm down.

She glared at Hera warily without saying a word.

Didn't she spend money to stop the news from getting spread around?

How the hell did Hera find out about Isabella's death?

Queenie then recalled the way Kane and Shaun had backed Hera up earlier. Isabella's case mustn't be reopened no matter what.
