Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 270

These uninvited romantic entanglements were usually handled by Douglas. Bernard reckoned that Douglas must have gone out to get breakfast. The bodyguards at the door were also absent.

"Go in first."

Bernard pushed Hera back into the room and closed the door behind her. What was about to happen was too gruesome for her to see.

Back in the room, Hera was speechless.

She suddenly felt that the bliss she had just felt had turned into jealousy.

…

The next day, Hera received a message from Leon just as she stepped off the plane from Southburrow to Norburgh.

"Boss, I have Amelia's memory card. I'll be waiting for you at this café."

Hera glanced at the location he sent and replied, "Got it."

She put away her phone and noticed the restroom sign ahead.

Turning to Bernard, she said, "I need to use the restroom. You can head back first. Don't wait for me. I'm meeting a friend later."

Bernard stopped in his tracks.

"Which friend?"

Seeing that he wouldn't leave without an answer, Hera said, "Leon."

"Okay," Bernard responded, though a flicker of displeasure crossed his eyes.

Hera was oblivious to his reaction and went into the restroom. She deliberately stayed inside longer to wait until she was sure Bernard had left.

But as soon as she stepped out, she saw Bernard standing at the door, on the phone.

When he caught sight of her, he said into the phone, "Let's talk later."

Hera was at a loss for words.
