Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 751

Everyone was caught off guard. No one expected that Rhett would be impatient enough to attack Hera.

He was about to wrap his thin hands around Hera's slender neck when she leaned back. She instantly held a silver needle between her fingertips as she mercilessly pierced it into his wrist.

Rhett paused before hurriedly retracting his hand with a terrifying scream.

Everyone was momentarily speechless by his yell. It was just a needle prick. Did he have to scream the whole place down?

The smell of blood made Hera immediately look back. Bernard had appeared out of nowhere at the end of the corridor behind her.

He exuded an icy demeanor as he gently wiped the silver gun in his hand. He then asked, "Is everyone here?"

The crowd finally realized that Rhett was shot earlier. A bullet had passed through the back of his right hand.

Blood covered his entire hand, dripping onto the floor. If Rhett's hand wasn't treated in time, it would be beyond saving.

"How dare you shoot me, Bernard! I want you to pay the price! Watch me kill your lover!"

Rhett's eyes went red. He ignored the pain on his wounded hand as he lunged toward Hera again. This time, he hadn't even laid his hands on Hera before being immediately restrained by the two workers behind him.

Having just been freed from his handcuffs, Rhett found his hands were cuffed again. He struggled with all his might.

"Let go of me! How dare you handcuff me again! Have you forgotten how powerful Astral Nova is? Let go of me! Mr. Shaft, quickly order them to release me!"

"Astral Nova's guarantee card can only be used once," Samson reminded Rhett.

Rhett was in shock. "Aren't you here to secure my release? I've not even walked out of here yet! And you're telling me that the guarantee card can only be used once? What's that supposed to mean?"

"It's exactly as what's written on the card," Samson said. "The police just released you, and you've also signed the documents. I've already gone through the procedures. But it's none of my business whether you're able to walk out of here alive or how long will it take for you to commit another crime."
