Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 229

After Hera finished washing up and came downstairs, she noticed a lively atmosphere outside the door, indicating that someone had visited them. She paid it little mind and joined Gideon at the dining table.

Just as she was about to have breakfast, she heard James' ingratiating voice from the living room. "I didn't know you would come, Mr. Killian. We're honored by your presence."

"Judy, hurry and brew some coffee," Mildred's voice rang out.

Hera turned around and saw Mildred and James respectfully leading Bernard toward the living room, with Douglas and Lilith following behind.

She hadn't imagined Bernard would actually show up!

Gideon caught wind of the voice as well. A brief hint of annoyance flashed across his face as he pondered why the old man was here and if Bernard was trying to take Hera away once more.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Bernard spoke up as he glanced toward the dining area, "It's fine. I'm here to pick up Hera." As soon as he entered the residence, he caught sight of Hera heading toward the dining room.

Hera promptly turned around, deciding to fill her stomach first before anything else.

Hearing that, Mildred was somewhat shocked.

James and Lilith had already seen Bernard visit the Everett residence before. Though they were not as shocked as Mildred, they were still quite surprised.

In fact, no one had expected Bernard to stoop so low as to come and pick up Hera himself! At the same time, they didn't understand why Bernard would do that. They couldn't help but wonder if Bernard had taken an interest in Hera. To them, he was like a super-rich son-in-law who was hard to find!

James quickly said, "Please wait a moment. Lilith, could you go and get Hera?"

"There's no rush. Let her finish breakfast first." Bernard raised his hand to stop them and waited on the couch.
