Although Geoffrey believed that Nicholas could never compare to Bernard, the fact that Hera had given birth to Nicholas' children couldn't be undone.
He suddenly understood why Bernard sealed off all news related to Hera over the past few years. There was a saying that went like this—If he couldn't have it, he would destroy it.
Geoffrey didn't understand the situation back then. Now that he knew, he instinctively wanted to protect Hera, Dylan, and Dora.
"Mr. Bernard, there's a saying that goes like this—if it's yours, no one can take it away from you. If it doesn't belong to you, you can't force it. Am I right, Mr. Lucius?" Geoffrey asked while including Lucius in the conversation.
Of course, Lucius had no idea that when he asked Bernard to look out for Hera, Bernard would actually end up sleeping with Hera. However, Lucius knew what was on Geoffrey's mind.
There was no way the Sandersons could compete with Bernard. All these years, Bernard's friends had blacklisted Hera, so Lucius dared not bring up Hera.
Now that they were talking about her, he couldn't help but side with her.
"Bernard, if Nicholas is fated to be with Hera and she has chosen him as well, we should support her," Lucius said.
Bernard cast a glance at Lucius. "Since you're so free, you should go back and educate your daughter, Lucius."
After speaking, Bernard made a call and said coldly, "Come in and send Lucius home."
Sable immediately entered from outside after disconnecting the call. He then politely gestured at Lucius. "Mr. Lucius, this way, please."
Lucius was helpless, especially since Bernard brought up Giselle. Ever since she made a fool of herself at XS Corporation, she had been under house arrest.
Geoffrey couldn't help but gulp nervously as he watched Lucius being taken away.
"What proof do you have that she's your biological granddaughter?" Bernard's icy gaze landed on Geoffrey.
