Under the heiress facade

Chapter 645

The noise woke Xavier up. Before he could react, the lights were turned on, and Bernard grabbed him up from bed.

As soon as Xavier got used to the lights, he was baffled to see who was standing before him. "U-Uncle Bernard?" What was Bernard doing there?

"Mr. Bernard, what are you trying to do to Mr. Xavier? Let him go!" Marriott rushed over in her pajamas, and her hair was a mess. She grabbed Bernard's sleeves. "Please don't scare Mr. Xavier. He caught a cold two days ago. He just slept after we barely fed him medicine."

"Get out! This is none of your business." He gave her a spiteful look. He hated it when someone pulled him by his clothes.

His warning sent shudders down her spine. Just like other maids, she was afraid of Bernard. But she didn't release him because she was more worried about Xavier.

He didn't dare to defy Bernard's orders because he was the employer. Besides, Bernard was older than Xavier. "Jackson, let me go! Get inside and protect Mr. Xavier! Do you hear me?" Marriott tried to wriggle free from Jackson because she was worried that Bernard might hurt Xavier
