Hera paused in her actions of opening the door and leaving the room upon hearing Nathan's statement.
Nathan continued, "Robin used to work as the Gaskells' driver prior to the accident."
He wanted to continue investigating Daphne's case, but at the end of the day, he was just a public servant of the bureaucratic system. He wouldn't be able to do anything to the Gaskells at all.
"Thank you," Hera replied coolly before exiting the office.
At the same time, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Mr. Annoying. Your family still owes me a favor. It's time for me to cash it in."
Hera ended the call sometime later and walked out of the police station. The driver stopped the car in front of her before getting out to open the back seat's door for her.
"Ms. Youngworth, are you returning to Skyview Heights now?" he asked.
Hera glanced at him coolly before replying, "Yeah."

After the meeting, Gideon decided to leave the company. He scrolled through Instagram while waiting for the elevator to arrive.
That was when he saw Gino's latest post, which was posted at noon. "I've decided to forgive her, seeing as she has specifically brought me a gift."
The image that came with the caption showed two bars of chocolate.
"How childish," Gideon muttered under his breath. Then, he snapped a screenshot of the post before sending it to Hera.
He texted, "You can't just show affection to your younger brother. You need to shower your older brother with love too."
There was a pitiful emoji pasted at the end of the message.
Meanwhile, Hera was playing on her phone in the back seat when she saw a WhatsApp notification pop up. After tapping on it, she saw Gideon's screenshot and message.
She fell silent at the message.
