Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 234

In his hurry to find Hera and Bernard, Gideon hadn't noticed the room numbers given by the receptionist. It wasn't until they arrived that he realized Mildred, who was supposed to share a room with Hera, hadn't come, and Bernard was here instead, which meant they would have to share a room!

Hera stood at the door, looked at the key card in her hand, then at Bernard, and finally, at Gideon. She didn't expect her brother to put her in such a predicament.

Gideon was momentarily stunned.

"What kind of arrangement is this? Why are you so stingy? Couldn't you get another room?" Gino kicked Gideon.

Bernard's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Since there aren't enough rooms, we'll just have to make do for the night."

"No way!" Gideon and Gino shouted together.

Gideon continued, "You don't look the least bit reluctant!"

Gino added, "Not enough rooms? Didn't you clear the whole place out?"

Hera was utterly speechless.

In the end, after a round of swapping key cards, Hera and Lilith ended up in one room, James and Gino in another, and the last one was for Gideon and Bernard.

Once everything was settled, Gideon smiled as he handed the key card to Bernard, saying, "Mr. Killian, you and I are sharing a room. If you mind, feel free to step outside and take any room you like."

Gino nodded in rare approval, thinking Gideon's strategy was spot on.

Meanwhile, James wanted to curry favor with Bernard to revive the company, so he hoped Bernard would stay. However, what Gideon said was practically an affront to Bernard's pride.

What a ridiculous idea! As the seventh son of the illustrious Killian family, there was no way he would condescend to share a room with a stranger, especially with so many empty rooms available.

To everyone's surprise, Bernard took the room key, swiped it, and entered the room without a change in expression.
