Chapter 179 "Mr. Thompson, It's an honor to see you here! Please take a seat!" Brandon quickly approached Shaun and began showering him with respect. He invited Shaun to sit on the couch. But Shaun moved to sit on Brandon's office chair right away with his hands stuck in his pockets. He proceeded to put his feet up on the desk as well. Then, he lit cigar Upon witnessing Shaun's antics, the assistant was shocked, to say the least.
This was his first tseeing someone acting so boldly in front of Kane and Brandon.
Nonetheless, this was expected of Sham Thompson, who descended from one of the four influential families. His grandfather was the famous Alex Thompson, who used to be a general in his time. It was no wonder everyone addressed Shaun with reverence.

The thin wispsshrouded the outline of his handsface.
Brandon could feel chills running down his spine after hearing Shaun's words. He stood up straight, his smile turning stiff.
"S-Surely you must be kidding, Mr. Thompson." "Am I kidding?" Shan's expression changed drastically at the word. "You've grown bold enough to lay a hand on my sister-in-law to look like I'm kidding? Brandon was so shocked by the outburst that he didn't know what to do.
"Y-Your sister-in-law, sir?" Didn't Alex only have one grandson? How was it possible for Shaun to have a sister-in-law? "How preposterous!" Kane had already taken the liberty to review the case his assistant had passed to him. He was so furious that he hurled the case file right at Brandon." Release her this instant!" Brandon stared down at the papers from the case file scattered everywhere on the floor. The paper on top of the mess revealed Hera's full name, causing his breath to hitch in his throat.
Hera was Shaun's sister-in-ker? Didn't Queenie claim that Hera was just a country bumpkin with no power at all? what the hell was going on? Shaun was the one who brought Kane to the office just to demand Brandon release Heral That meant the man Shaun viewed as a brother must be extremely intimidating and powerful. Brandon had a feeling that he was about to lose his job. Queenie's schhad doomed him this t-This is all a buge misunderstanding! I'll release her tight now! After that, Brandon ordered an officer to release Hera from her cell.
At the moment, Hera was being imprisoned in a holding cell on her own The cell was dark and damp. While the other criminals in the cells next to Hera's looked low-spirited and half- dead, she was the only one who sat on her bench calmly with her eyes closed. Apparently, she was meditating at the moment.
Hera looked as cool as a cucumber, as if she wasn't trapped in a cell at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Brandon opened the cell door, the first thing Shaun saw was Hera, who was in the midst of meditating. He perked up at the sight.
He had always been curious about how special Bernard's beloved future wite truly was. This time, he was able to get his answer.
Hera was a lot prettier than Shaun had imagined. In fact, she and Bernard made a perfect couple.
"Ms. Youngworth, Mr. Thompson is here to bail you out," Brandon said respectfully in a low tone, as though he was afraid that his voice might startle Hera
Hera's thick lashes fluttered slightly upon hearing Brandon's voice. Then, she slowly opened her eyes, which showed nothing but calmness.
She glanced at Brandon, noting how humble and lowly he was acting at the moment. This Brandon and the arrogant Brandon who had interrogated her earlier that meming were completely different Then, Hera turned to look at Shaun.
She couldn't recognize him at all. Was he one of Gideon's contacts? That man had pretty decent looks. He looked pretty successful as well, judging by his attire, she guessed he cfrom a wealthy and influential background Only then did Hera realize the reason behind Brandon's change in attitude toward her Himph! What a pathetic bootlicker! However, Hera didn't move an inch. Instead, she closed her eyes again and continued meditating Sham was intrigued, to say the least
