Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 274

If it weren't for Douglas' loyalty to Bernard, Queenie wouldn't have greeted him with such a smile.

Queenie glanced at the empty coffee cup on the table and then toward the door of the nearby private room where Douglas was seated.

"Mr. Killian is also here, isn't he?"

Douglas frowned.

"Is there something I can help you with, Mrs. Gaskell?"

"I was just looking for Mr. Killian. I hope he can attend Gaskell Corporation's annual banquet," Queenie said as she turned around.

Her assistant immediately pulled out an invitation from her bag.

"Is this the room? I'll go in to see Mr. Killian."

She was about to knock on the door, but Douglas stopped her.

"You can't go in, Mrs. Gaskell."

At that moment, the door to the private room opened.

Hera stepped out and caught sight of Queenie and Douglas. Her beautiful brows immediately furrowed.

Likewise, when Queenie saw Hera, her smile vanished instantly. She glanced inside before the door closed again and saw another person, but it was clearly not Bernard.

She wondered why Hera was there.

The message she received said Hera had fled deep into the mountains but was promptly discovered by the police, narrowly saving her life. Hera was supposed to be receiving treatment at Lensvale Hospital.

However, Hera didn't look like she was narrowly saved. She looked completely fine.

Queenie also thought that Shaun was injured. She wondered why he would still care for Hera if that were true.

Queenie didn't believe that Hera, a country bumpkin, had any special talents, so she glanced at Douglas. Zyler had told her before that Hera had hooked up with Douglas.

It would be possible if it were Douglas.
