Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 729

"Why does that surprise you?" Instead of answering the question, Bernard posed one of his own.

"Why, you!" Chad was so pissed off that he choked on his words. Bernard was the only person who could rile him up this easily. "Unblock every last one of my phone numbers."

Bernard snorted. "Why do I have to do that? What makes you think that I have to obey you?"

Chad was so enraged that his blood pressure was on the cusp of surging. Bernard had truly grown up and became independent now. Chad couldn't control him anymore.

Chad took several deep breaths. If he got mad over this again, he wouldn't be able to tell Bernard why he came here today.

"I'll stop getting in between you and Hera, but you have to come back and work at the headquarters." Chad went straight to the point.

Bernard chortled sarcastically as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "What makes you think you can disrupt my love life?"

Neil noticed that Chad's face had completely reddened. It was a sign that he was about to fly into a rage. He couldn't help but advise, "Your eldest brother is still the head of the family, Mr. Bernard. It'd be wise to mind your attitude a little. Don't keep upsetting him."

The mention of their ties ticked Bernard off immediately. "Eldest brother? He's the reason my mother is dead, and he even tried to kill me. Is that your idea of a brother? Some brother he is!"

Bernard cast a sidelong glance at Chad. "Have you no shame, Chad Killian? Have you forgotten how you were adamantly against my return to the Killian family? Did it slip your mind that you dumped me into the army like a piece of garbage?

"Now, you're begging me to return. How are you this shameless?"

Chad's lips twitched, but he couldn't form a good comeback. After all, he was guilty of everything Bernard said.

Neil noticed that Chad wasn't defending himself, so he explained, "You've misunderstood, Mr. Bernard. Mr. Chad sent you to the army for your own good."

"Shut up! What makes you think you have the right to speak?" Bernard retorted coldly.

Neil stopped talking, feeling embarrassed. Then, he kept signaling Chad to clarify everything. After all, Chad and Bernard had enough misunderstandings to last a lifetime. Life itself was short and fleeting. There was no need to keep something a secret because of pride.

However, Chad didn't say anything, even when Bernard turned around and left. It left Neil feeling extremely anxious.
