Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 381

Samantha asked again, "You can't do this and that. Then, what do you want?"

Hera took another sip of the wine gloomily.

"That's why I called you out. Help me think of a solution."

Samantha kept silent.

"Great. It's a dead end," Hera sarcastically thought.

Meanwhile, in a VIP room on the third floor of Nightless Haven, Bernard sat in a corner, drinking sullenly.

Shaun wanted to call some hostess in for some fun, but a single look from Bernard made him drop the idea. He exchanged glances with Theo, who was also invited since he was on a business trip in Jedburgh.

Ever since Bernard started dating Hera, he had stopped coming out for drinks with them. He seemed to be deeply in love and was dedicated to the relationship. Now that he suddenly asked them out, they figured something must have happened.

"Bernard, it's rare for you to ask us out for drinks. Are we really just drinking? You can do that at my family's winery, you know. We have all the vintages."

Shaun couldn't help but ask.

Bernard simply replied, "Too far. Not going."

Shaun didn't know what to say in response.

He then lit a cigar.

"So, did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"

"No."

Shaun was losing his patience.

"Then, why are you looking so gloomy?"

Bernard only kept drinking in silence.

Theo, who was sitting nearby, poured him another drink and asked, "Bernard, is it about your identity?"

As expected of the strategist Bernard favored, Theo's guess hit the nail on the head.

Hera confessed her identity as Dr. Shadow to him that night, which made him happy but also guilty. He felt guilty because not only was he hiding his identity from her, but he had also been lying to her.

"Do you have any good advice?"

Samantha suddenly realized that if Bernard were around, he wouldn't have let her come to the bar. She figured that Hera must have sneaked out.

So, Samantha hurriedly gathered her things and chased after Hera.

"Hey, don't just run off like this. The elevator's this way. Where are you going?"

Hera drunkenly said, "There's a handsome guy over there…"

"My dear, this is so not you."

Samantha quickly supported Hera and dragged her toward the elevator.

She really regretted bringing Hera out for drinks. When sober, Hera was an angel, but when she was drunk, she would become a total flirt.

Samantha finally managed to take Hera to the elevator. The elevator doors opened, and Samantha instantly froze when she saw the person inside.

At that time, only six words flashed through her mind.

"My dear Hera, you're done for!"
