Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 285

"You're a good-for-nothing who fails at everything!" Queenie hissed as she watched Hera walk past her.

Gideon himself couldn't even change the manager's mind. What made Hera think she could get him to sign a contract with the Everetts?

Queenie thought Hera was too full of herself. Even if she asked Douglas for help, she couldn't change anything at all.

An ugly smile crept onto Queenie's face as she said, "The manager's a righteous person. He wouldn't change his mind even if Hera stood before him naked."

"Watch your tongue!" Gideon warned, his face dark.

He was fine with Queenie insulting him but would not let anyone insult Hera.

Smiling nonchalantly, Queenie clucked her tongue and said, "Hera's got a sharper tongue than me, you know. Do as you please if you feel like wasting your time here."

After all, she was sure that neither Gideon nor Hera could make the hotel manager change his mind.

Then, Queenie extracted an invitation card from her bag and tossed it into Gideon's car through the open window.

She said haughtily and conceitedly, "Don't forget to attend the Gaskell family's annual banquet."

Gideon's grip on the steering wheel tightened as he watched her walk away with her head held high.

Back then, when Giselle was still Zyler's fiancée, the Gaskells would invite the Everetts to their banquet yearly. This year, though, the two families were at odds.

Queenie wasn't sincere in inviting Gideon to attend the banquet. She intentionally did so to embarrass him and his family.

She was flaunting the fact that the event hall was hers now. It was a provocation, and she did nothing to hide it.

It was a shame that Gideon wasn't powerful enough to go against the Gaskell family yet. And although he had no idea what Hera would do, he believed she wouldn't give up her chastity like what Queenie had said.

Gideon turned the steering wheel and continued to find a place to park his car. After securing a spot to park, he contacted some other hotels to ask about their event halls as he waited for Hera to come out of the hotel.

Half an hour later, Hera found him in the parking lot.

She opened the passenger side door, got into the seat, and said, "It's settled."

"It's settled?"

Gideon was taken by surprise. He checked the time. She'd only been gone for just half an hour.
