Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 728

"The truth about your daughter's death was finally unearthed, Dr. Youngworth. What are your thoughts on the matter?"

"You've exposed Linda's true colors, Ms. Youngworth. Do you think this will mean new developments for Mr. Greg Killian's case?"

"You've put Ms. Linda behind bars, Ms. Youngworth. Have you thought about how you're supposed to keep living in the Killian family with Mr. Bernard?"

Hera refused to answer them. She had just helped Catherine out of the car when a group of reporters immediately huddled around them. Samantha flanked Hera on her left, worried that these crazed reporters might tug at Hera's arm injury and make it worse.

Bernard got out of the car. His bodyguards swiftly came over to block off the reporters and made a path for them. When the group walked through the courthouse's entrance, they saw Chad, who looked stern.

Hera wore a blank expression, while Bernard frowned slightly.

"What are we going to do? Is the head of the Killian family here to settle his score with you in person?" Samantha whispered her question to Hera.

"Stay calm. We'll see what happens next," Hera responded. Chad might not be here for her.

"Can we have a word with you in the room around the back corridor, Mr. Bernard?" Neil stepped forward and asked.

Neil might've sounded polite, but Bernard was the only one who knew that Chad purposely came here to intercept him. He was doing this because he wanted Bernard to return to Killian Corporation's headquarters.

Bernard didn't want Hera to see him fighting Chad. He lowered his voice and said to her, " Go inside with them. I'll be back soon." Hera nodded and led Catherine inside with

Samantha.

Bernard and Chad then headed to the back corridor. Chad had asked Neil to arrange a private room for them, where snacks and beverages were already prepared.

However, Bernard halted halfway and said, "What do you want? Spit it out."

Chad was somewhat displeased that his plan was spoiled. He asked with a grim expression, " What are you rushing for? There are still 20 minutes left until the trial."

Bernard retorted, "It irritates me to see you. I don't want to see you a minute longer than necessary."

Chad was exasperated. "Why, you..."

Neil noticed that Chad was about to get riled up again, and he immediately whispered, "

Don't get mad, Mr. Chad. You're the loving brother right now. Take a deep breath and keep a forgiving attitude. Smile and talk to him peacefully."

Chad fell silent. He trusted what Neil said and took a deep breath before he squeezed a grin.

It was just that Chad had always kept a strained expression. Now that he was suddenly smiling, it looked particularly eerie. It would've been an understatement to say that he had a hideous smile.

"Visit the doctor if you have a spasm in the face. Why do you have to come out here and disgust people?" Bernard said disdainfully.

Chad was at a loss for words, and the smile immediately froze on his face. Then, it vanished altogether. He even shot Neil a begrudging look. He must've been a fool to take his advice.

"See, Mr. Chad? It worked. Although Mr. Bernard has a sharp tongue, he expressed concern for you," Neil quickly whispered in Chad's ear.

Chad didn't know what he should say right now. What kind of show of concern was that? He trusted Neil too much. That was why he acted like a fool and did what he said.

Chad rubbed his face and went back to his stern look. He questioned, "Did you block all my numbers?"

Ever since Bernard hung up on him the last time, Chad changed a lot of different phone numbers. However, he could never get through to Bernard on the phone. He was even blocked on WhatsApp. He came here to intercept Bernard because he was flat out of options.
