Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 516

Meanwhile, Rhett and Frederick were at the CEO's office at Killian Corporation.

"Mr. Rhett, the Everetts have booked a private room at the Imperial Hotel for 7:00 pm. Hera will be there." The secretary, Rachel Davis, reported the latest developments to Rhett.

Rhett checked the time before suddenly getting up. "Get the car ready. We're going to the Imperial Hotel."

"Dad, are we really going to collaborate with her?" Frederick asked, feeling disgruntled. The meeting had just ended, and Chad's final decision was to continue seeking Raven to work together.

The thought of Hera being Raven and possibly the Vulcan as well caused his face to burn.

"Do you have a better candidate in mind?" Rhett peered at him, asking a question of his own instead of answering him.

Frederick immediately turned silent. He never expected that XS Corporation would be willing to spend so much money. In fact, they had secured a collaboration with 90% of the top 100 hackers in the world whom they had invited earlier.

Meanwhile, the remaining 10% of top hackers were rather polarizing choices. There were renowned hackers like the Vulcan, S, and Raven, who were out of their reach, or hackers like Silas, who was looked down on for his poor character.

Rhett put away his things before heading toward the Imperial Hotel. He wasn't willing to cooperate with Hera either and had voiced out his opinion at the meeting.

But Chad had insisted on cooperation. Besides, he was still angry about the foolish things Giselle had done. As the CEO of Killian Corporation, Rhett had no choice but to go along and follow through with the plan for now.

…

It was 7:00 pm when Wayne parked the car at the Imperial Hotel. Hera helped Catherine out after getting out of the car. As James' car had arrived first, he and the others were waiting for them at the entrance.

Hera looked around and realized that she had not seen any sign of Everly for the whole afternoon. Thus, she asked Catherine about her whereabouts.

"Everly asked to take leave today. She said that she's meeting with a friend," Catherine explained.

Hera nodded, clearly not bothered. But the matter sounded strange to Catherine.
