Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 752

"What's the meaning of this, Bernard?" Rhett yelled. "Chad, how could you let him do whatever he likes!"

Bernard had brought the entire Killian family here. Once word of that got out, outsiders would think that the family was done for, regardless of whether they were in trouble.

Especially XS Corporation, who would shamelessly snatch away Killian Corporation's resources, and that would ruin the company. Rhett wondered why Chad was allowing this to happen.

Chad wasn't too shocked since he learned of this news in the morning. He merely asked Bernard with a stern expression, "Do you have to destroy the Killian family to feel satisfied?"

Bernard grinned coldly. "Exactly!"

Chad became furious instantly. Before he could even lash out, Neil, who had received the latest news, informed him in a low voice, "Mr. Chad, things aren't looking good. The reporters have leaked the matter of the Killians being taken away by the police.

"The news is trending now, and there's no way to suppress it."

Chad knitted his brows tightly. Before he could even come up with a countermeasure, he heard Neil continue.

"I have more bad news. Just as the stock market opened at 9:00 am, Gino got rid of all of Killian Corporation's shares in his hands, prompting the other shareholders to all follow suit. Within half an hour, Killian Corporation's share price has hit the lower limit."

"What!" Chad was rooted to the spot in shock. The thing he feared the most had come true.noveldrama

The fate of the Killian family wasn't meant to turn out like this. It was Bernard and Hera who wanted to destroy them.

"Dad!"

"Chad!"

One by one, each Killian family member was led into the room. They began to cast pleading looks at Chad, but there was nothing he could do. He could only stare at Bernard in disbelief. "How could you do this? Have you forgotten about Dad's favoritism toward you?"

Chad couldn't contain himself and rushed forward. He grabbed Bernard by the collar before slamming him against the wall while roaring angrily. Chad's face had gone crimson out of anger. Even his eyes had turned bloodshot.

"Mr. Chad, don't be reckless!"

"Mr. Chad, don't be so impulsive. Let go of Mr. Bernard."

Neil and Douglas hurried forward to persuade Chad.

"Favoritism?" Bernard snorted. He ripped Chad's hands away from his collar before forcefully shoving him aside.

"How was he biased toward me? By asking you to force my mother to die? Was it by leaving me under your care so that you could ruin me?"

Neil rushed forward to assist Chad, who almost lost his balance after being shoved aside. Chad was loudly panting through his mouth while his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Bernard as if he were glaring at his enemy.

In truth, the fury overwhelmed him, making his head buzz. He couldn't even see anything clearly, and he found it hard to breathe.

"Chad! Chad! Neil, quickly give him his medicine!" Karen immediately ordered, being the first to realize that Chad's chronic condition was flaring up.

"Mr. Chad? Mr. Chad? Are you alright?" Neil quickly called out. He used one hand to support Chad while using another hand to quickly reach for the medicine.

Karen was dying to hurry forward to help. However, she couldn't do anything as her hands were cuffed, and she was being restrained.

"Bernard, must you agitate Chad?" she yelled anxiously.

"Isn't that obvious? I want him to die!" Bernard glared at Karen before casting a meaningful look at Nathan. "She's too noisy. Take her away."

"Will do." Nathan nodded before gesturing to his subordinates.

"You! You!" Karen faltered in anger while being forcibly dragged into an interrogation room. Xavier, who had been pretending to be dumb, was startled while watching the scene unfold. He finally relaxed when Hera shot him a reassuring glance, and he began to obediently cooperate with the police.

Bernard was more convinced than ever that it was Xavier who had alerted Hera after observing them exchange eye contact.

Having been infuriated by Bernard's words, Chad was unable to catch his breath even after a few moments. He looked like he was about to pass out.

As he was about to faint, Hera rushed forward with several needles between her fingertips. Hera had already inserted the needles into several acupuncture points on Chad's body before anyone could react.
