Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 622

Linda never thought that Roman would make such a blunder. He brought the matter up without much thought, yet Hera managed to link it with this incident where he and Xavier fell into the water.

Roman was usually smart and quick-witted. Linda couldn't understand why he was so easily frightened today. Hera had only said a few words, yet he was already scared of her, causing him to expose himself.

He was useless! If Linda tried to help him now, wouldn't it mean that she'd bear the brunt of the blame too?

"I believe you," Linda told Roman. "But the drugs were found in your backyard. I, too, have no idea what happened. I can't testify for you."

She took a step back from him as if she were trying to stay away from the plague.

Roman's eyes widened at her words. "You…" he muttered in disbelief.

Ever since Aurora dug up the drugs from his backyard, Roman became unsettled. He couldn't stop wondering just who put the drugs in his backyard.

All of a sudden, the answer emerged in his mind.

It was Linda! It must've been her!

She talked him into replacing the drugs, then had someone bury them in his backyard. The day the discovery was made would be the day he got kicked out of the Killian residence for good.

By then, no one would fight with her son, Frederick, for the family's inheritance. She was killing two birds with one stone!

Roman believed Linda, which almost resulted in Aurora's miscarriage.

"It was you!" he yelled, jabbing a finger at Linda. "You had someone bury the drugs in my backyard!"

Linda's expression darkened at once. "Don't spout nonsense, Roman! You can't accuse me of doing it just because I couldn't testify for you. That's nonsense!"

"It's true! Mom, she framed me! She was the one who buried the drugs there! She framed me!" Roman cried, turning around to hold Aurora's hands with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this, Karen feared that Roman would accidentally bump into Aurora and hurt the child in her belly.

Karen went over to them, pulled them apart, and shielded Aurora.

All this while, Hera's gaze shifted between Linda and Roman. After contemplating their words, Hera was sure that there was something off with them.
