Under the Heiress' Facade

Hera spotted him standing there dumbstruck and snapped, “If you have something to say, spit it out otherwise, stop blocking my way like a moron.”

Zyler snapped back to reality, realizing she had just called him a moron! Hera, with her unsophisticated behavior, struck him as a real waste of good looks.

“I’m warning you, don’t you dare mess with Gigi again! And don’t even think about playing tricks on me!” Zyler warned.

Hera raised an eyebrow. “Play tricks on you?”

Seeing her denial, Zyler found her audacity irritating.

“I know you’ve got a thing for me and you’re trying to shake up my engagement to Gigi Well, forget it! The only one worthy of me from the Everett family is Giselle, the true heiress. You, as an adopted daughter, are not!” he deliberately emphasized his last sentence.

Hera chuckled lightly. “Where’d you get that confidence from?

“You!” Zyler was taken aback by her unexpected response. But then he figured Hera must be feeling pretty embarrassed after her secret got out, hence the denial.

He continued, “I won’t even start on what you’ve done to Gigi. Didn’t you cheat on the Cavenridge entrance exam just to cozy up to me?

“And what you’re wearing now is an imitation of Gigi’s style. Isn’t that just to grab my attention? Well, cut it out! Even if what you’re wearing is genuine, I won’t be interested in you. My heart’s set on Gigi”

Gigi, Gigi, Gigi! Hera was tired of hearing it. Was Giselle trying to annoy ber by sending over a lapdog?

“God gave me my looks, and you’re calling me proud because of that? Get lost and leave me alone, Hera said.

Bold, confident, andcommanding! Hera’s presence held the crowd in thrall

Maybe only Hera in all of Norburgh would have the guts to steal the spotlight from the event’s main character and tell him to leave!

Zyler was completely thrown off by Hera’s smooth reforts.

“No wonder Gigi was bullied so badly. Hera’s just playing hard to get because she’s obviously into me! All that was just to catch my eye. Oh, women!” he scoffed internally, “Hera! What’s going on?

James and the Gaskell couple came out of the study to find a crowd surrounding Hera and the others. Their smiles vanished instantly, their first thought being that Hera had stirred up trouble.

“Welcome, everyone, to our son’s celebration banquet. Enjoy yourselves,” Terence, the head of the Gaskell family, was calmer than James and quickly sized up the situation He greeted everyone with a hearty laugh along with James and dismissed the crowd.

As the onlookers dispersed, Queenie Killian’s expression darkened as she eyed Giselle’s gown.

Last time, it was a scandal. Now, she was wearing a knockoff. Her fondness for Giselle had plummeted to zero, but in front of so many people, she instructed Zyler, “Zee, take Gigi upstairs to change her clothes.”

Giselle felt a mixture of emotions as Queenie’s concern alarmed her. She feared queenie yet took satisfaction in seeing Hera in trouble this time for offending Queenie. After Zyler accompanied

Giselle upstairs, Queenie turned her gaze to Hera, and their eyes locked.

Hera, in her ethereal white gown, looked stunning while Queenie exoded opulence in her elegant silk dress with a fur scarf. Their looks were in contrast with one another, and they were silently vying for dominance.

“What’s your game?” Queenie’s mood soured due to the disruption at the celebration. Being a perfectionist, she couldn’t stand any disturbances RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“I’m here to spoil your fun,” Hera retorted illy.

“How dare you! past because you’re the Everett family’s adopted daughter?”
