Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 646

"So, you asked her to remember what happened back then?" Bernard interrogated.

It was no wonder Hera had been forcing herself to get used to the darkness, even asking him about the case.

It was all because of Xavier's request!

Every single time, Hera would break into a cold sweat and tremble in the darkness. She was even almost triggered into a shock that day! The vulnerable sight of her broke Bernard's heart. Helplessness squeezed his heart, and anger stifled him at the same time.

He would never let anyone hurt her. Not even herself!

"I-I didn't…" Xavier didn't know what kind of method she would use to find out the murderer. All he knew was that she would make it happen because she had given him her word.

Xavier might not have trusted others, but he trusted Hera.

He had done his homework. Although Hera was no longer the soft and sweet Cecily, it was true that she was investigating Daphne's case and was serious about clearing Lucius' name.

They had the same objectives. That was why he shared the clues with her.

"Don't let her get involved in this case again!" Bernard deleted the photos right in front of Xavier.

Xavier wanted to stop the man, but he couldn't do so in time, hence his fury. "What's wrong with that? She's just trying to clear Uncle Lucius' name and find out the truth for me."

"She's not wrong, but the whole Killian family is! I promised Lucius to stop investigating the case. If you want to stay in the Killian residence, don't tempt her to keep digging!"

Xavier's lips quivered, and his whole body was shaking in anger. Years of pretending to be mad had dulled his mind. He struggled to find the words for rebuttal.

Chad had ordered the whole family not to bring up Greg's death. That was why Xavier pretended to be mentally ill to survive in the family and find out the truth.
