Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 720

"What does that have to do with me?" Hera asked coldly.

Neil was feeling torn. Bernard refused to answer his calls and did not want to see him. Thus, Neil decided to try his luck and ask Hera to help out. After all, Bernard was willing to listen to her.

But Neil never expected that Hera would be so cold.

"Mr. Bernard is devoted to you, Ms. Youngworth. Surely, you want him to have a better future, right?" Neil asked warmly.

"So?" Hera asked.

"When Mr. Killian Senior was still alive, Mr. Bernard was his favorite child. Before his death, he even left behind all his shares at Killian Corporation to Mr. Bernard. That means he intended to leave the company to him.

"Back then, Mr. Bernard was still quite young, so he couldn't manage the entire Killian family yet. Thus, Mr. Chad took over as the head of the family first.

"Now that Mr. Bernard has grown up, it's also about time for him to start managing the headquarters' affairs. Once Mr. Chad retires in a few years and hands over the position of the head of the family to him, Mr. Bernard will get used to the workload quickly."

Hera snorted. Bernard cared for none of that.

"Ms. Youngworth…"

"Why are you speaking to her?" Bernard's icy voice drifted through the doorway, interrupting Neil.

Neil looked back, having heard Bernard. "Mr. Killian."

"Get lost!" Bernard yelled.

Neil hesitated since he had not completed the task entrusted by Chad yet.

Since Neil did not leave, Bernard continued, "Do you want someone to drag you out?"

"My apologies for disturbing you. I'll leave now." Neil knew that Bernard was capable of carrying out his threat. It would be too embarrassing if that actually happened, so Neil left in resignation.
