Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 39

The next day, as Hera descended the stairs with her canvas bag, Giselle happened to be talking toJames about the forum incident from yesterday.

cilselle looked as if she had seen a ghost, and her eyes glared at Gino warningly.

But Chino acted as if he hadn’t seen anything while showing James the screenshot

Giselle showed an angry and pitiable expression when she saw this.

After James looked at it, his expression turned dark. “Giselle, how could you do such a thing?”

He had apologized and entertained the reporters last night, preventing them from releasing thenews of yesterday’s incident.

He returned home at 3:00 am, only to discover that Mildred had fainted upon hearing about Heracheating. So, he had to rush to the hospital

He had stayed up all night, and Lilith only went to the hospital to relieve him in the morning,

When he returned home, he was told about yesterday’s ugly incident before he could even eatbreakfast. He found out Giselle was instigating things on the academy’s forum,

His anger flared up. “Are you not satisfied with how big this matter has become!”

Giselle trembled in fear.

“Dad, it wasn’t me who posted them. My account was hacked. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it in time.”

She knew James was soft–hearted and didn’t like confrontation, so she pretended to be wrongedwhile continuing to explain, “Zee has already clarified things for me on the forum last night..”

Sure enough, James softened when he saw the look on her face.

However, the most important thing was the mention of Zyler.

“How could such an important personal account be hacked so easily? You’re the young lady of theEverett family and the future daughter–in–law of the Gaskell family. You represent the reputation ofthe Everett family outsidel

“Whether you posted those things or not, your account was used and seen by others!”

James scolded her, but his tone was clearly less angry than before.

“I understand, Dad. I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

Giselle took the initiative to admit her mistake obediently

She knew that James didn’t really care about the truth of the matter, he only cared about thereputation and interests of the Everett family.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have given Gino that so thousand dollars!

She glared at Gino.

“Alright. Don’t visit those messy forums anym

should be.” James waved his hand.

“Okay, Dad,” Giselle said obediently.

anymore in the future. You can join more high–class banquets if you have the time. That’s wherethe young lady of the Everett family

Hera stood at the stairwell, watching this scene of blatant favoritism and double standards.

Although she hadn’t held much hope for this family from the beginning, sering such differentialtreatment still made her feel somewhat disheartened.

Gino felt a little frustrated when he saw that the matter had ended like this. He also felt that it was abit unfair for Hera

Previously, James had been so angry at the mere mention of Hera skipping the exam, and he wasready to beat her up.

This time, it was discovered that Giselle was the one spreading rumors about Hera skipping theexam. She even insulted Hera on the forum, but James merely scolded her a bir before letting thematter slide.

This was too biased!

It wasn’t that he was siding with Hera, but he had taken her money and promised to let James teachGiselle a lesson.

But before the drama could even begin, it ended abruptly, which was a blow to his dignity!

“Dad, is that all for this matter? Gino couldn’t help but ask

“Shouldn’t Giselle be punished for insulting you and that–Hera? Shouldn’t she be taught alesson?” He wanted to say “country bumpkin,” but when he saw Hera approaching. he suddenlychanged his address.

“Are you also dissatisfied with how big the matter has become? James asked sternly

His anger flared up when he saw Herasining calmly at the dining table, eating breakfast leisurelylike an outsider

“You still have the audacity to come down for breakdast? Go back to your room and reflect on youractions! You’re not allowed to come out without my permission!”
