Hera gave it a quick skim. "Why are you showing me this?"
"To show you what kind of person your mentor is," Bernard answered.
She pursed her lips. Based on that statement, Hera knew that Bernard was already aware that Tyler was S.
"My family is working with the Presgrave family. Tyler recommended you to Rhett. That's why Rhett invited you to join the team to develop a chip," he added.
She gave him a dubious look because she never told him that Rhett looked for her before.
Bernard, who understood her questioning look, explained, "I only found out about it after I asked someone to look into Tyler. Besides, it's a huge project of Killian Corporation. I've read the documents."
She remained silent, and he continued seriously, "Sweetie, I know that you still don't fully trust me, but you have to. I'll never hurt you."
She stared at him, her head flashing the image of the man she saw at the park, the red dot, and Tyler's message.
She couldn't figure it out. Could she trust Bernard?
In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you ask someone you follow me?"
He saw that coming and corrected her, "I did that to protect you."
Then, he made a call. "Come to Astral Nova."
Twenty minutes later, a man in black sportswear showed up. He was wearing a cap and a mask. It was the man Hera saw back at the park!
"Mr. Killian, Ms. Youngworth." The man removed his mask and cap. It was a bald man with a scar on his face.
