Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 216

Bernard had just finished an international virtual meeting when he suddenly sneezed. Douglas immediately looked over.

"Did you catch a cold? Do you want to meet Ms. Hera?" Douglas asked.

Bernard replied, "I'm fine. No need for that."

Hera was having a reunion with her schoolmates. He didn't want to disturb her. However, it was also almost time to pick her up as well.

At this time, his phone screen lit up. There were notifications from WhatsApp.

He unlocked the screen and saw that the message came from Hera: "I'm not going back tonight. I'm going to the Everett residence."

Bernard was silent for a while, then he looked up at Douglas. "Yes, I want to."

Douglas was confused. "You want to meet Ms. Hera?"

"Yes."

Douglas was speechless. Didn't Bernard just say that he was fine?

At the Gaskell residence, the lights were all turned on in the living room. Terence was pacing back and forth in front of the floor-length windows.

The news that Queenie was arrested had spread in the business circles via gossip. Gaskell Corporation's eligibility for a bidding project was canceled, and even two big clients that were long-time partners stopped their partnership for two new products.

The company's stocks had not been looking good the past few days. Terence was incredibly frustrated and smoked cigar after cigar.

At this time, Amelia returned, clothed in an ill-fitting sheepskin coat.

The maids saw that her appearance was unkempt and quickly asked, "My goodness, miss. What happened to you? Should we call a doctor?"

Terence immediately looked back and walked over, asking, "Amy, how did it go? Did Mr. Thompson say anything?"
