Under the heiress facade

"Stop it!"

Suddenly, a man's brisk voice echoed in the room.

Everyone looked in his direction. It was a man in a suit, wearing frameless glasses. His eyes were similar to Camille's.

He was Marcus Chime, the eldest son as well as the heir of the family.

The guests stopped throwing things at Camille.

Despair almost swallowed her whole, but she saw hope when she noticed him. "Marcus!"

Marcus looked at his disheveled sister on stage and frowned in disapproval. The eldest daughter of the family shouldn't be looking like this.

If only she wasn't his biological sister, he wouldn't have to come forward to protect her. He was doing this merely for the family's sake.

"I guess all of you are taking my family lightly," he stated solemnly. His gaze scanned the guests. Those with little power shuddered at that. Seconds ago, rage got the best of them, so they forgot about the Chime family's powerful background for a moment.

Marcus' gaze finally landed on Hera. He marched up to her confidently. "Did you set this up?"

Nicholas chuckled. "Camille had it coming. She took someone else's title! Is she seeking backup from her family now that she's exposed?"
