Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 135

"She's just a gold-digger. The Ludden family is a century-old scholarly family, and Dean Ludden is a stern and upright man who would never allow you to associate with someone like her! I advise you to break up with her before she hurts you."

As Christopher listened to Zyler's words, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Christopher wondered if Hera appeared truly despicable in Zyler's eyes and how his father, who had encouraged their relationship, could suddenly disapprove of it.

By now, the car had pulled into the Ludden family's courtyard, and the driver parked the car.

"If you're just playing around with her, I advise you to quit. We have the college entrance exams next year, and you can't outsmart her in a game of manipulation," Zyler said with disdain.

"Let me be honest with you, Christopher. Hera's only with you for the Ludden family's influence. She competed with Giselle over me when she was reintroduced to the Everett family. Later, I caught her with Uncle Bernard's assistant—"

"Zyler, stop it!" Christopher interrupted sharply as Hera got out of the car.

"I won't allow you to speak of Hera like that. If you insult her again, I'll end our friendship!"

With that, he hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line, Zyler stared at the darkened screen in disbelief and indignation.

He had underestimated Hera's allure. He couldn't imagine that even Christopher, who had always prioritized academics, was deeply entangled.

He had to find a way to expose Hera's true colors and prevent his good friend from being harmed.

After Hera got out of the car at the Ludden residence, she saw a white Bentley parked in the yard. It seemed like the Luddens had other guests.

After Christopher hung up the phone, he got out of the car and led Hera inside.

The Ludden family estate was much larger than the Everett family's. Hera followed Christopher through twists and turns for more than ten minutes until they reached a reception room.

Andrew was brewing tea on the coffee table in the room.

When he saw them approaching, he nodded and smiled, "Hera, have some tea. Stay for dinner tonight."

"No, thank you. Where is Mrs. Ludden Senior?" Hera inquired.
