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."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

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."

His answer left Hera slightly startled. She did not expect him to not be jealous.

"I have matters to attend to, so I won't be joining." Douglas quickly waved his hand.

Bernard turned to take the gift bag from Douglas before dismissing him. He then handed it to Catherine.

"Mrs. Jones, I heard from Hera that you've not been sleeping well lately. I bought an aroma diffuser and some essential oils from an auction to help you sleep. You can give it a try."

"Even you brought a gift too." Catherine was extremely shocked.

Nicholas and Thiago were very curious to see what Bernard brought, so they rushed forward to have a look

They opened the gift bag and saw an exquisite diffuser. Its exceptional quality made it clear that the diffuser was rather valuable.

In comparison to the three fruit baskets on the table, Bernard's gift made Thiago, Nicholas, and Tyler seem like they hadn't put much thought into their presents.

Nicholas scoffed. His carelessness had given Bernard a chance to show off. Meanwhile, Thiago believed that this was how Bernard gained Catherine's approval.

"This is good stuff, Catherine. You're so lucky." Mildred held the aroma diffuser in envy, not wanting to put it down.

"This is too expensive. I can't accept it." Catherine noticed how exclusive it seemned. She quickly put the aroma diffuser back into the box before handing it to Bernard.

To Bernard, it was meaningless to take back a present. Thus, he refused to accept the aroma diffuser.

"Just accept it. He's got plenty of money. I'll use some essential oils later," Hera advised Catherine before helping her put the diffuser away.

"Madam Barker, I didn't know you'd be here, so I didn't prepare any presents for you. Take this card and use it whenever you want to buy anything." Bernard took out a black card and handed it to Mildred.

Mildred, who had been extremely envious earlier, lit up in excitement upon seeing the black card. Who wouldn't

like having a generous grandson-in-law like Bernard? To her, Hera should just seal the deal with Bernard. "Oh, you're too generous. How could I accept it?" Although Mildred said so, her actions betrayed her thoughts. She immediately took the card and pocketed it, leaving Hera speechless.

"Look at how generous Mr. Killian is. Reflect on yourselves." Samantha snorted from the side.

"Isn't it just money? Who doesn't have money?" Nicholas was disgruntled and reached into his pants pocket for

his wallet.

Bernard uttered coldly, "No need for that. Even if you were to fork out money, you still won't be able to compare to me."
