Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 94

"I agree. Her medical skills seem lacking," Bernard chimed in.

Douglas remained silent in the front seat.

He mulled over Bernard's comment. Camille was from the renowned Chime family with a century-long legacy in medicine. She was hailed as a prodigy in the field and was even nominated for a Nobel Prize. Douglas wondered how sharp Hera's skills were if she could call Camille unprofessional.

Hera was stunned by Bernard's response. After all, he still followed Camille into the lounge for a private check-up. She couldn't help but curse at him silently.

Sensing the tension, Douglas quickly raised the partition between the front and back seats as he was worried about becoming a target of Bernard's wrath.

"I reluctantly agreed to meet her after being pressured by Chad. I even thought of bringing you along for support, but you were too caught up in your games to notice me," Bernard said in a deep voice, looking at Hera with an innocent expression.

Hera couldn't stay angry looking at him. But the more he feigned innocence, the more irritated Hera felt. Despite there being no chance between them, he continued to push the boundaries of their relationship.

"You don't owe me an explanation. We're in this together just for business. Once we obtain the Eclipse Stone and cure your illness, we'll go our separate ways," Hera stated coldly.

She lowered the divider and instructed Douglas, "Pull over."

Douglas hesitated when he noticed Bernard's stern expression in the rearview mirror.

"I said pull over!"

Hera's tone grew sharper.

Douglas hit the brakes, and Hera immediately stepped out of the car.

As the door loudly slammed shut, Douglas felt the temperature in the car drop. He wanted to turn on the heater, but he didn't dare to do so.

He watched Hera's figure disappear into the night, then glanced at Bernard's expressionless face in the mirror.

"Bernard, aren't you going after her?" Douglas asked.
