Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 309

Mary had snuck out of the Ludden residence unattended, opting for worn clothes to blend in with the crowd. Unfortunately, this disguise backfired. Passersby mistook her for a scammer as she lay on the ground, clutching her aching leg in pain.

Just as hope dwindled, Hera emerged and offered assistance.

Mary's heart swelled with gratitude. She instantly identified Hera as the ideal granddaughter-in-law.

However, her hopes were dashed when Hera bluntly stated that she had only helped Mary out of a desire for money.

Mary's initial delight turned into disappointment. She disliked women who were driven by greed, and she believed there were plenty of such women around.

"I'm a bit short on cash lately. If you insist on repaying me, I'll accept money. And while I'm at it, I can also help you cure your rheumatoid arthritis," Hera explained nonchalantly.

"So, it's all about the money..." Mary realized with a sigh. It seemed that Hera's motivation was purely financial, not a greed for wealth or status.

This revelation brought a bitter smile to Mary's face. "Well, the Luddens are very wealthy. Just marry into our family, and you'll have access to all of Christopher's money. And if you give birth to a son, half of the Ludden fortune will be yours."

Hera was rendered speechless, and Christopher was left reeling by her words.

"Grandma, please…"

Christopher attempted to interject, but a flicker of curiosity sparked within him. How would Hera respond?

"He's not exactly my cup of tea, and I'm not interested in any long-term arrangements," Hera replied coolly. Her words struck a chord with Christopher. She hadn't even given him a second glance, leaving him feeling dejected.

Fueled by Bernard's earlier words, a daring thought flickered in Christopher's mind. Maybe showing his interest in slash fiction would pique Hera's interest?

On the other hand, Hera's response left Pansy dumbfounded. A woman unfazed by the Ludden fortune?
