Under the heiress facade

"Not at all!" Gino didn't want to admit it. "But Bernard is rich!"

Mildred placed the game console he had thrown aside in front of him. "Look at this first before you say that."

Bernard had previously given him a priceless and unmarketable global limited edition game console.

Gino was at a loss for words. Because he had profited from Bernard, he unwillingly stated, "He's only a little better than that fake academic, Christopher."

He had heard that Christopher was a fake academic, so he had a negative impression of him. If he had to choose between Bernard and Christopher to be his brother-in-law, he would choose Bernard. At least Bernard was more attractive and wealthy.

Mildred analyzed it for him, "Mr. Killian is far superior to Christopher. He'll be the Killians' heir, but Christopher may not be the Luddens' heir. If Mr. Killian becomes your brother-in-law, he can buy you anything. Everything in the Killians may belong to your sister one day."

Gino thought it made sense. So, he returned to his room to message Bernard.
