Under the heiress facade

Chapter 4

Three cars arrived at Norburgh Airport to pick up the Everetts. James had important business at the company, so Lilith, Giselle, and Hera went home before him.

An hour and a half later, they reached the Everett residence. After exiting the cars, Lilith welcomed Hera into the house. “Hera, we’re home. Your grandma and your brothers are staying with us.”

Hera nodded in response.

Leading the way, Giselle announced, “Grandma, we’re back.”

After handing her bag to the housekeeper, she quickly headed to the living room, flaunting her status as part of the Everett family.

A young boy, about six or seven years old, dashed out of the living room. It was Gino Everett, the third child of James and Lilith.

“Giselle, you’re here! Did you bring me any presents?” Gino exclaimed eagerly.

“What kind of gifts could you expect from the boonies?” An elderly voice came from the living room.

“Good point. It’s not worth getting my hopes up,” Gino grumbled as he sank back into the couch, returning to his video game.

Hera trailed behind Lilith as they entered the luxurious living room decorated in lavish Baroque style.

Mildred Barker sat gracefully on the couch, savoring a cup of coffee with an air of elegance. She had grayish hair and was dressed in lavish attire.

Giselle quietly settled beside her and poured her another cup of coffee. “Grandma, where’s Gideon?”
