Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 186

There was a reason why Hera had purposefully asked Queenie who she thought the murderer was. She wanted to bait Queenie into taking action right after she got bailed by the Gaskells.

…

Once Hera left the detention facility, she found out that Shaun and Rupert had already left some time ago. She wanted to call Gideon, but her phone was already switched off due to the lack of battery.

Hence, she took a taxi back to the Everett residence.

The moment Hera got out of the taxi, she bumped into Gino, who happened to have returned from school.

"Why did you escape from jail?"

For a moment, Gino looked shocked. Then, he peered to his left and right, as though he was afraid that someone might have spotted Hera. After that, he grabbed Hera's hand and dragged her into the Everett residence quickly.

"Can't you just wait in jail for a few hours longer? Gideon is already contacting his connections and potential lawyers to bail you out!"

As Gino spoke, he kept scanning around the manor in hopes of locating suitable hiding spots for Hera. Those hiding spots had to be discreet as well in order to prevent the police from finding her.

Hera was speechless, to say the least.

"Hera! Are you alright?"

Lilith, who had spent the whole day waiting in the living room anxiously, was equally stunned to see Hera.

She rushed over and took Hera's hand as well. Then, she began checking Hera over for any injuries.

"Don't tell me you escaped from jail!" Mildred slowly walked over with her walking stick. Judy propped her the whole way.

Once again, Hera didn't say anything.

It seemed like her family was having a hard time envisioning her getting released from jail as an innocent person.

"I'm fine. Gideon's friend and lawyer helped prove my innocence," she explained patiently.

Gino fell silent after hearing her explanation. He released Hera's hand immediately, feeling a burst of awkwardness surging into his heart at that moment.

"It's good to see you doing fine. You must be hungry, Hera. I've already made honey-glazed ribs for you."

Lilith let out a sigh of relief.

"As expected of Gideon!"
