Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 502

"After breaking up, I'll win you over again," Bernard said.

Hera thought she misheard him. "What?"

"I'll win you over again," Bernard repeated. "This time, I won't hide who I am from you, nor will I trick you again.

"I want to start a relationship with you again with no lies and secrets. After that, we'll get married and have children together to fulfill our previous vows. We'll continue to collect the elements of the periodic table and grow old together."

Hera almost laughed out of exasperation. "You really are confident. With so many men in this world, why would I hang on to you?"

Bernard replied, "It's true that there are many men in this world, but not many could make you trust them. Go ahead, then. Once you've found a trustworthy man, I'll cripple him and see who else will dare to be with you."

"You…" Hera suddenly felt like she had been hit where it hurt the most.

"Sweetie, you know I always keep my word. If you want to be in a relationship, be with me for the rest of your life.

"You can be angry at me, beat me up, scold me, and use your needles on me. You can even ask me to kneel on a bed of nails or anything sharp. I'm at your disposal for your torture.

"But don't fall for anyone else even if you no longer love me. Otherwise, I truly can't guarantee that I won't murder the man."

Hera was startled by his words. Her heart picked up its pace for a few minutes before quickly calming down.

"You only know how to sweet talk! Besides, you were the one who tricked me before! I won't pursue the fact that you hid your identity as Vulcan since I never told you I was Raven. We're even on this. But you lied to me by not telling me that you're Grandmaster of Astral Nova!"

Hera recalled how she had foolishly searched for medicine to treat Bernard, only to find out that he had been messing with her all along. The fury in her heart couldn't seem to go away.

Bernard lowered his head, feeling guilty. "Yes, I'll turn over a new leaf and become a better person. I won't do it again."

"Sure, go ahead and work on yourself, then. Since you have so many assistants, I'm sure I don't have to tell you where's the best place for self-improvement."

Hera went to the office desk and unplugged the USB flash drive. Her words had left Bernard speechless.
