Giselle stared at Bernard innocently as if she had been wronged. "Uncle Bernard, I—"
Bernard did not even give her a chance to speak. "Shut up. Hera has plenty of time to deal with you for all those nasty things you've done. Are you in a hurry to get punished? Are you dying tomorrow? If not, get lost!"
Giselle trembled before freezing in shock. She was left utterly devastated.
Hera looked at Bernard in astonishment, realizing for the first time that he could be so ruthless with his words.
Bernard turned to Chad and said coldly, "As for you, if you want a daughter, you should work hard with your wife and give birth to another. Don't you dare consider Hera! If it's so easy to get such a talented daughter, why do orphanages even exist?"
With that, he did not even wait for their response and grabbed Hera's hand to forcefully lead her away. As for her, she was completely taken aback by his anger.
Although she always knew that Bernard could be rather two-faced, he always had been gentle and considerate toward her, aside from his illness in the past.
In fact, he had never gotten this angry with her before, let alone speak so harshly to her.
Seeing how infuriated Bernard was today, Hera wondered if he had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. The pressure on her wrist caused her to frown. She tried to free herself from his grip, but he merely held on tighter.
"Bernard, you're hurting me," she remarked.
He sullenly shoved her into the passenger seat. He held back his anger after noticing Catherine following behind and allowed her to get into the back seat.
