Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 282

"Got it. I'll visit Nate when he's better," said Hera.

Sensing her lack of interest in the case, Stephen tried to comfort her.

"Don't worry. Nate's always been in tip-top condition. He'll recover very quickly," he said.

Hera hummed in response.

If Stephen hadn't met Hera in person before this and felt how cold and distant she was as a person, he'd assumed that she was way too indifferent and calm after receiving such news.

However, since she had no questions about the case, Stephen said nothing more after that.

Before hanging up, he simply told her, "That's all. Bye."

Hera stared at her phone screen, which showed her the news page about Amelia. A mischievous glint formed in her eyes.

"Ms. Youngworth, we're here," said the chauffeur as he parked the car in front of the gates of the Everett residence.

After thanking the chauffeur, Hera exited the car and pressed the doorbell. As she waited for the gates to open, she received several WhatsApp messages from Bernard.

"Are you home?

"What should I do? We've only just parted, and yet I'm starting to miss you again. When will you come to Skyview Heights again? I'm so pitiable."

The corners of Hera's mouth lifted into a smile.

She responded to his messages with two simple words: "We'll see."

"Did you win a jackpot? Why are you so happy?" Gino asked jokingly as he stood in the doorway after opening the door.

Hera appeared to be in a pretty good mood, which didn't happen every day.

Hera pocketed her phone. Glancing up, she noticed that Gino hadn't even put on his jacket before leaving the house to welcome her.

"You must miss me a lot," she said.

The moment she finished saying that, she realized that it must've been Bernard's influence that prompted her to say something like that.
