During lunchtime, Bernard left after taking a phone call. Hera could finally avoid him.
After lunch, she got a call from Nathan.
"Ms. Youngworth, Queenie is out on bail."
Hera squinted slightly. "Who bailed her?"
They finally took action.
"Terence came here this morning with Frederick, Roman, and Michelle. They just released her on bail," Nathan elaborated.
Frederick was Rhett's son, Roman was Aurora's adopted son, and Michelle was Chad's daughter.
Chad and Rhett appeared to be Queenie's backers in the Killian family.
"Why did Shaun do nothing?" Hera thought of Shaun.
He was the one who helped her hold down the Gaskells. She wondered if he let Queenie go for someone.
"Have you not seen the news yet? Something happened to Mr. Thompson." Nathan was surprised.
Hera instantly browsed the news. That was when she saw the headline, which stated that Shaun had suffered terrible injuries because of a love affair. She clicked in and read the article thoroughly.
The incident happened when Shaun harassed an internet celebrity. He got into trouble because she was the beloved wife of the head of the Hubbard family.
The Hubbards wielded significant power in the South. Alex, who had his principles, beat Shaun up after knowing it. He couldn't tolerate his grandson harassing a married woman.
According to the news, Shaun was beaten so badly that he couldn't even protect himself, so he didn't have time to help Hera.
Hera was at a loss for words.
"Got it. Thank you for your efforts," Hera said.
