Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 154

Douglas reminded Bernard, "But Bernard, you said that I could go on a vacation…"

"I'm canceling it."

Douglas fell silent at the order.

Was Bernard toying around with him on purpose?

…

Hera was woken up by her phone's loud ringtone the following day. It was Nathan who was in charge of Isabella's case. He requested Hera to drop by the police station at 2:00 pm.

Nathan didn't bring up any details regarding the case. All he said was that he'd explain everything to Hera once he got back to the police station.

Hera had a bad feeling about the meeting.

After washing up in the bathroom, she had just descended the stairs when she heard the doorbell ring.

The moment Hera opened the door, she saw a man clad in a uniform belonging to the Imperial Hotel. He carried a wooden engraved lunch box with him.

"Hello. This is the meal that Mr. Killian has ordered."

"Thank you."

Hera accepted the lunch box. When she returned to the living room, she glanced in the direction of Bernard's room.

Did he wake up early in the morning?

Hera recalled the events that had occurred last night and the bouquet of flowers. She shook her head to get rid of all unnecessary thoughts. It was best if she pretended that nothing happened last night.

Then, Hera opened the lid of the lunch box, revealing an assortment of food. Most of the food items happened to be her absolute favorite, with the remaining food items being pastries and consommé.

She took a seat at the table and ate some of the food. After that, she arranged the rest of the food on a tray so that she could bring them over to Bernard.

Meanwhile, Bernard leaned against the bed frame in his room with a pair of Bluetooth earbuds stuck in his ears. He raised his right knee in order to balance his laptop on top of it.

He maintained a poker face as his fingers flew over the keyboard swiftly. Strings of white codes quickly streaked across the dark screen with every key he typed.

Theo's voice continued filling Bernard's eardrums via the earbuds. "There's a traitor in the hospital. Someone has leaked the news of your incident. That's why they have the guts to act so outrageously."

"Hmph! To think they're already this bold when I'm still alive! If I were dead, their heads would be extremely inflated from their ego!"

Bernard chuckled coldly in a deep tone. His gaze was extremely icy at that time.

Theo could sense Bernard's fury from the other end of the line. He asked, "Are we still keeping them around?"

"What for?" Bernard snapped icily.
