Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 369

"Go back to your room," Catherine told Everly.

After setting down the items she was carrying, Catherine headed straight for the master bedroom.

Everly couldn't help but sneak another glance at Bernard in the kitchen. She thought he was truly good-looking—hotter than any TV star. Yet, he exuded a dangerous vibe that kept people at bay.

She wondered what his relationship with Hera was.

Not daring to linger in the living room, Everly obediently returned to her own room.

Inside the master bedroom, Hera had just finished showering when she heard a knock on the door.

Thinking it was Bernard, she casually called out, "Come in."

Unexpectedly, Catherine entered.

"Hera, what is he doing here?" she asked with widened eyes.

She found the entire situation to be wild.

Hera went over to help her sit in a chair.

"Do you believe me now? He was the one who approached me first."

Catherine stared at Hera in disbelief. She was too shocked to find words immediately.

Finally gathering her thoughts, she asked seriously, "You're not doing this on purpose to seek revenge for Daphne, are you?"

She had seen plenty of secret escorts before.

Hera was rendered speechless.

She asked wryly, "Grandma, do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

"No," Catherine immediately denied.

When she rescued Hera from traffickers years ago, Hera had fallen seriously ill. Upon recovering, Hera's personality had changed.

From a lively, cheerful lady who loved to laugh, she became quiet, reserved, and no longer easily trusting.

At first, Catherine thought Hera's hardships and experience of being on the run had affected her, but later, she realized that the death of Daphne had deeply scarred her.
