Chapter 71


    Hera spotted him standing there dumbstruck and snapped, “If you have something to say, spit it out


    otherwise, stop blocking my way like a moron.”


    Zyler snapped back to reality, realizing she had just called him a moron! Hera, with her


    unsophisticated behavior, struck him as a real waste of good looks.


    “I’m warning you, don’t you dare mess with Gigi again! And don’t even think about ying tricks on


    me!” Zyler warned.


    Hera raised an eyebrow. “y tricks on you?”


    Seeing her denial, Zyler found her audacity irritating.


    “I know you’ve got a thing for me and you’re trying to shake up my engagement to Gigi Well, forget


    it! The only one worthy of me from the Everett family is Giselle, the true heiress. You, as an adopted


    daughter, are not!” he deliberately emphasized hisst sentence.


    Hera chuckled lightly. “Where’d you get that confidence from?


    “You!” Zyler was taken aback by her unexpected response. But then he figured Hera must be


    feeling pretty embarrassed after her secret got out, hence the denial.


    He continued, “I won’t even start on what you’ve done to Gigi. Didn’t you cheat on the Cavenridge


    entrance exam just to cozy up to me?


    “And what you’re wearing now is an imitation of Gigi’s style. Isn’t that just to grab my attention?


    Well, cut it out! Even if what you’re wearing is genuine, I won’t be interested in you. My heart’s set


    on Gigi”


    Gigi, Gigi, Gigi! Hera was tired of hearing it. Was Giselle trying to annoy ber by sending over a


    lapdog?


    “God gave me my looks, and you’re calling me proud because of that? Get lost and leave me alone,


    Hera said.


    Bold, confident, anmanding! Hera’s presence held the crowd in thrall


    Maybe only Hera in all of Norburgh would have the guts to steal the spotlight from the event’s main


    character and tell him to leave!


    Zyler waspletely thrown off by Hera’s smooth reforts.


    “No wonder Gigi was bullied so badly. Hera’s just ying hard to get because she’s obviously into


    me! All that was just to catch my eye. Oh, women!” he scoffed internally, “Hera! What’s going on?


    James and the Gaskell couple came out of the study to find a crowd surrounding Hera and the


    others. Their smiles vanished instantly, their first thought being that Hera had stirred up trouble.

    “Wee, everyone, to our son’s celebration banquet. Enjoy yourselves,” Terence, the head of the


    Gaskell family, was calmer than James and quickly sized up the situation He greeted everyone with


    a heartyugh along with James and dismissed the crowd.


    As the onlookers dispersed, Queenie Killian’s expression darkened as she eyed Giselle’s gown.


    Last time, it was a scandal. Now, she was wearing a knockoff. Her fondness for Giselle had


    plummeted to zero, but in front of so many people, she instructed Zyler, “Zee, take Gigi upstairs to


    change her clothes.”


    Giselle felt a mixture of emotions as Queenie’s concern rmed her. She feared queenie yet took


    satisfaction in seeing Hera in trouble this time for offending Queenie. After Zyler apanied


    Giselle upstairs, Queenie turned her gaze to Hera, and their eyes locked.


    Hera, in her ethereal white gown, looked stunning while Queenie exoded opulence in her elegant


    silk dress with a fur scarf. Their looks were in contrast with one another, and they were silently


    vying for dominance.


    “What’s your game?” Queenie’s mood soured due to the disruption at the celebration. Being a


    perfectionist, she couldn’t stand any disturbances


    “I’m here to spoil your fun,” Hera retorted illy.


    “How dare you! past because you’re the Everett family’s adopted daughter?”


    In all of Norburgh, everyone knew that Queenie was a fiery andpetitive woman
