The PayPal alert continued.
"You've received 11111.11 dollars.
"You've received 22222.22 dollars.
"You've received 33333.33 dollars."
Hera texted Bernard, "Has your PayPal been hacked?"
The transfers kept coming in, and the amounts were growing more significant.
She immediately called him.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you short on cash?" Bernard asked nonchalantly.
"Not really."
Hera didn't detect the hidden meaning in his words.
She used to be quite short on cash, but she wasn't worried about money now since she received a 30-million-dollar check from the Ludden family before the New Year and over five million dollars of pocket money from Bernard.
"Then why did you take money from another man?"
There was a hint of jealousy in Bernard's voice.
Hera glanced at the stack of cash on the table and finally caught on.
It turned out that Bernard was jealous.
"Hah! He'll earn money to support all of you? Are you with me just because you think I'm hot?"
As she listened to his sarcastic words, Hera suddenly wondered if Bernard had been a drama queen in a past life.
She considered his looks and physique and thought that he was indeed tempting for a looks-oriented woman like her.
Playing along with him, she asked, "What kind of explanation do you want?"
"I want to know why you're not using the card I gave you but are instead spending other men's money."
Hera had no comeback.
She didn't expect Bernard to hold a grudge for so long. She had refused the limitless gold card he had given her earlier.
