Under the heiress facade

Chapter 656

The moment Mildred finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Wayne went to open the door and saw Bernard there. He politely greeted, "Mr. Killian."

Speak of the devil! Hera felt a headache coming on when she saw Bernard. She was concerned that he would get jealous again and wanted to kick him out.

She hurried forward. "What are you doing here? Didn't you say you wouldn't be done with work anytime soon?" To anyone else, this seemed like Hera was excitedly rushing to kiss Bernard, who had dropped by all of a sudden. Thiago pouted in disappointment. The sight of money did not even make Hera this happy.

"I wanted to give you a surprise," Bernard said gently while icily sweeping a glance at Thiago, Nicholas, and Tyler, who were seated on the couch.

Hera said nothing. This was the start of his jealous tirade. She hurriedly held his arm, intending to push him outside. She wanted to remind him to not make a fuss and ruin Catherine's good mood.

Instead, Bernard took the opportunity to hold Hera's hand and politely called out to those behind her. "Mrs. Jones, Madam Barker."

Catherine exclaimed, "Oh, you're here!"

"You're just in time. We're almost about to start dinner. Quickly wash your hands and join us for a meal. Mr. Sanderson and the others are here as well. Will Mr. Copley join us too?" Mildred greeted.

Bernard answered, "Sure."
