Facade

Chapter 40 

“Why should listen to you? Hera looked at him coldly. 

She showed no remorse! 

James was so angry that he directly clipped the dining tabl 

“Why” if it weren’t for your cheating, would the Everett family have Inst our reputation at Cavenridge? 

“Would I have had to lower myself to beg those reporters? Would our villa have been mortgaged to the bank without enough money to redeem it? 

“And would your grandmother have ended up in the hospital?” 

Giselle was so scared that she screamed when the table was flipped, and food scattered everywhere. 

dino, covered in pasta, was about to complain when he saw Hera grab the canvas bag next to her agilely before avoiding the scattered food skillfully. He looked disheveled compared to her. 

What are you doing with your bag?” James noticed the canvas bag in Hera’s hand and asked angrily. 

Hera replied indifferently, “I’m going to stay at the academy now so that you won’t get angry every time you see me. It’ll risk your health and shorten your lifespan.” James glared at her angrily. “You!” 

“Hera, how dare you curse Dad” delle said 

Only Gino looked at Hera with admiration and thought, “Impressive! She dares to confront Dad!” 

James had a fierce temper, and no one dared to disobey him in the Everett family!

“Hera’s behavior of running away from home is too much. Since she came back, there hasn’t been a single peaceful day.. Why don’t we just send her back to the mountains… James slapped Giselle before she could finish speaking 

“Dad? She covered her red cheek while looking at him in confusion. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Don’t say this kind of thing in the future!” James reprimanded her. 

Giselle wanted to use James to drive Hera out of Norburgh, but she was too impatient and accidentally stepped on his toe 

James valued reputation the most diselle was reminding him that Hera was challenging his dignity as the head of the family and exposing his ability to discipline Hera, Moreover, it would be embarrassing if they abandoned Hera within less than a month of announcing her adoption publicly. Not to mention, Hera was his biological daughter. “Yes,” Giselle replied obediently, her eyes filled with resentment 

Heca called for a cab, and she saw a car when she reached the yard. 

She opened the back door, sew a man sitting in the driver’s seat, and paused. 

His face was angular and extremely beautiful. He wore a pair of golden–framed glasses which covered his sharp eyes, and there was a faint smile on his thin lips 

Although he was smiling, it wasn’t a genuine smile. It gave off a cold feeling. 

That person was none other than Bernard
