Tiramisu snorted at being locked outside the room. It seemed fearful that Bernard would do something terrible to Hera and indignantly used its hooves to scratch the door.
"If you make noise again, I'll barbecue you!" Bernard yelled sternly.
The scratching noises stopped immediately. They vaguely heard Tiramisu snorting before walking away.
Hera was becoming uncomfortable being held down by Bernard and wanted to get up and check on Tiramisu. She tried but found her hands firmly pinned to the bed, and she could not budge an inch at all.
She could only give in. "Bernard, please let go of me first."
Bernard did not loosen his grip and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what it means if you're a Killian again?"
He looked down at her, seemingly very cold and unfriendly. Not expecting that he would be this upset, Hera explained, "I asked that on purpose because I wanted Grandma to see how upset Giselle would be and expose her true colors.
"Last time, she deceived Grandma so badly. If I don't expose her true colors for Grandma to see, she'll be fooled by Giselle again."
Of course, she also wanted to take the opportunity to mock Chad's schemes. She was certain that if she agreed to his request, the headline in the newspaper tomorrow would be "The Killian Family Welcomes Dr. Shadow Into the Family".
She did return to the Killian residence to investigate who was behind Daphne's murder. Once clarified, she could clear the crimes that Lucius was wrongly accused of.
But there were many ways to get to the Killian residence. It wasn't worth it for Hera to sacrifice her freedom and become a member of the Killian family.
