Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 501

"If that doesn't count, then there's nothing…" Bernard trailed off before his gaze accidentally landed on the conch bracelet on Hera's wrist.

He added, "No, there's another one."

Hera raised an eyebrow, indicating that he should continue.

Bernard knew that she might struggle to accept the truth he was about to reveal, but he decided to say it anyway.

"The bracelet on your hand wasn't given by Ms. Daphne. I asked her to give it to you on my behalf."

Hera raised her right hand and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, slightly perplexed. She had always carefully stored this bracelet, even considering it to be her lucky charm.

Wasn't this Daphne's keepsake? Hera suddenly found it somewhat hard to accept. After all, the bracelet carried too much sentimental value for her.

Bernard hesitated before saying, "You can't consider this me lying to you, right? You got it all wrong…"

Hera looked up at him without a word. Yes, he did say that he had feelings for her from a young age.

She suddenly felt like she was the prey that was captured by the hunter's net and was forced to stay with Bernard. Although he did not actually hurt her, she truly did not like the feeling of being controlled.

"Let's break up."

Bernard was already prepared for the worst after telling Hera about the bracelet, but he never expected how ruthless she would be.

He took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I'll respect your wishes."

Hera was speechless. He was never considerate of her whenever they were in bed, yet he agreed to break up without hesitation.

She felt like she was about to explode with anger because of him. That kind of emotion terrified her as she had always believed that she had a good grasp over her emotions.
