Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 817

"Ms. Killian, why did you lie to her?" Theo stepped forward and asked straightforwardly.

"Mr. Smith." Giselle remained respectful upon noticing Theo. After all, he was Bernard's right-hand man.

"I didn't lie to her. We did attend high school together at Cavenridge International Academy," she innocently remarked.

Theo noticed her feigned expression but did not continue bantering with her. Ever since Bernard forgot about Hera, Giselle was always hanging around Bernard. Everyone knew what she was up to but did not expose her on Bernard's account.

"Ms. Killian, is there anything you need from Mr. Killian? If not, please leave. I have some business to discuss with Mr. Killian," Theo said.

The way he decided on behalf of Bernard infuriated Giselle. Theo was merely Bernard's employee, yet he considered himself someone with authority just because Giselle was polite to him.

Although she was fuming, Giselle forced herself to remain composed and managed a smile. "My dad asked if Uncle Bernard's free tonight for dinner. We haven't eaten together in a long time."

Bernard was indifferent toward anyone except Lucius, whom he still considered family. There were times when others couldn't persuade Bernard, and if Lucius were to intervene, Bernard would usually give in. Hence, Giselle deliberately brought up Lucius to intimidate Theo.

Instead, Theo said, "Sure thing. I'll help you pass on the message."

Giselle was so furious that she dug her fingernails into her palms. But she decided not to force her way into the room to meet Bernard since Theo had already offered to convey Lucius' invitation to him.

After all, she had already leaked the news of her visiting Bernard today. No one needed to know whether Giselle did meet with him. All the outsiders needed to understand was Giselle was the only woman in Bernard's life.

Moreover, Giselle had more important business to attend to. She planned to get rid of Hera before Bernard recalled who she was.

"Sorry for troubling you, Mr. Smith." Giselle forced a smile before turning to leave.

After Giselle left, Theo pressed on the doorbell.

The door opened automatically, and Theo walked into the room, where he heard sounds of running water in the bathroom.

The messy blankets and lingering smell of intimacy made Theo quickly realize what happened in the room earlier.

Although Theo had experienced many ups and downs, he was rather taken aback at that moment. He wondered if Bernard finally remembered Hera.
