Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 226

"Who are you?" Bernard glared at him icily.

Douglas promptly intercepted Terence and called for security.

Seeing that, Terence's expression became awkward.

In fact, they had met before. Although Queenie was only from a collateral branch of the Killian family, she was of the same generation as Bernard.

Terence had called Bernard by his first name in an attempt to be friendly. However, his efforts fell flat, and he was almost thrown out by security.

Hence, he quickly corrected himself, "Mr. Killian, I'm the CEO of Gaskell Corporation and would like to discuss the Shuttle Ventures investment with you..."

The ground floor lobby was bustling with people. They were either there to seek investment or discuss collaborations. The people coming and going were all prominent figures from major companies. Seeing this scene left them all greatly surprised.

No one expected that Terence, the renowned CEO of Gaskell Corporation, would display such a submissive side.

After all, the Gaskell family was ranked among the top ten prestigious families in Norburgh. Usually, others looked up to them, but now, Terence was acting so humbly toward Bernard.

It appeared that the rumors about the Gaskell family's downfall were true.

"I'm busy," Bernard said coldly and walked away.

A large, black Audi was parked outside the building. Douglas opened the back door for Bernard and then got into the front passenger seat.

Just as the door closed, Bernard asked in a chilly tone, "Why hasn't Gaskell Corporation gone bankrupt yet?"

"It needs more time," Douglas replied with a wry smile. He thought Bernard must have been reading too many novels.
