Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 103

Before heading to Astral Nova, Hera stopped by a mansion on the outskirts to change into a different attire. She then rode with Samantha.

During the journey, Samantha fluttered her thick lashes at Hera.

"Why don't you invite your young uncle along and let him shower you with money?"

"No, thanks. I can earn my own money."

Hera had calmed down, though she suspected Bernard was hooking up with other women at that moment.

She also didn't want him to learn more about her identity.

"Hera, you can't always be strong and independent like this. You must play up your feminine side to bring out a man's protective instincts."

Samantha wagged her finger.

She added, "And it's great that you can make money, but you shouldn't flaunt it. Otherwise, you'll end up like me—only capable of attracting gold diggers.

"Although the men are sweet, I always feel like they're not interested in me but in my money. I just want a normal relationship. Why is that so hard?"

Hera's gaze swept over Samantha's head, and she noticed the sparkling diamond hair clips. Samantha's ears gleamed with 25-carat pink diamond earrings, and a ruby necklace adorned her neck.

She was also dressed in a custom-made exclusive gown, accessorized with a stunning 150-carat diamond ring on her index finger and a top-grade gold bracelet on her wrist.

Hera hesitated before remarking, "Maybe try toning down the diamonds and cease your habit of buying drinks for everyone at the bar every time you go out."

"I can try to cut back on the drinks, but diamonds are my passion. I can't give them up," Samantha said while caressing her diamond ring.

She continued, "And trust me, I've already restrained myself. I used to have every finger adorned with diamonds."

Hera was left speechless.
