Under the heiress facade

Chapter 809

XS Corporation took over Killian Corporation five years ago. All the Killians were kicked out of the company. None of them held any power within the Killian residence, especially Chad, the former head of the family.

Although Bernard did not kick Chad out, keeping him at the Killian residence was almost the equivalent of being under house arrest.

Things had drastically changed within the Killian family, so life wasn't going well for any of them at the Killian residence. Those who dared not cross Bernard in the past now feared offending him more than ever.

The only exception was Lucius, who had treated Bernard kindly in the past. Bernard was very lenient with Lucius and allowed him to keep his shares at Killian Corporation. Since Giselle was Lucius' biological daughter, she also benefited from the situation.

But Giselle knew that was solely because Bernard had forgotten about Hera. He only seemed to remember Lucius' kindness toward him from the past.

Bernard also recalled that he had a niece, but he didn't seem to realize that his niece was a completely different person now.

Giselle took advantage of that by intentionally getting closer to Bernard. She deliberately wanted everyone in Jedburgh and even Jadonia to assume that she was the only woman Bernard cherished.

Giselle had learned that Bernard was at this hotel. Thus, she purposely dressed up so that she could join him for lunch.
