Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 483

"I'm on my way to XS Corporation." Hera glanced out the window. When she spotted XS Corporation's office building, she added, "Actually, I'm already here."

Samantha wailed sharply, "No, Hera! Don't do it! If you're captured, I'll have to visit you in prison if I miss you! How will I cope?"

"Shut up before you jinx me. I came to see someone and meet my mentor. I'll leave after that," Hera promised.

Samantha sobbed. "Do you think my royal guards would arrive in time to protect you if I mobilize them now?"

"Don't bother," Hera declined the offer. She was better off navigating through this predicament alone. She would risk exposing her identity if she had an entourage tailing her.

When the minivan rolled to a stop outside the office building, she said to Samantha, "I'm outside the building. I'll talk to you later."

Hera had only just hung up when she spotted the message notification for Dr. Shadow. She clicked into her account and saw a message from the Grandmaster of Astral Nova. "I have a present for you."

A picture followed the message. Her eyes widened when she clicked on it, and the first thought that crossed her mind was how he knew she was Raven.

She and the Grandmaster of Astral Nova had gone head-to-head a few times on the internet, but she didn't recall leaving any traces behind. The only thing that might have given her away was the record of the transaction she made with Astral Nova, but the record had already been deleted.

She grew uneasy and suspicious. However, she knew she had to keep a level head during these confrontations. She shouldn't expect anything less from someone who had managed to become Grandmaster of Astral Nova.

A small smile tugged on Hera's lips as she replied, "Thanks. Let's meet up later, Vulcan."

Now that her cover was blown, she had nothing to hide anymore. Vulcan was the entire reason she even wanted to attend the anniversary party in the first place.

"Boss, maybe you should go through the back entrance with us. Your identity will be exposed the moment you present your invite, and you might get dragged away before you can even enter the hall," Leon suggested worriedly as he assessed the cops outside.

Their initial confidence waned as they decided to play by ear instead.

The father-and-son duo were getting their invites verified at the entrance when Frederick inadvertently noticed Hera stepping out of the minivan. His eyes lit up at once.

Even though the car door had closed behind her a second later, he spotted Leon in the vehicle with someone else.

If Leon was Raven's assistant, then the mysterious figure in the car had to be the infamous hacker himself!

"Dad, I found Raven. He's in that car!" Frederick said in hushed tones. "Leon is in the car with him."

Rhett followed his son's gaze and spotted Hera first. Spite flashed in his eyes before he diverted his attention to the minivan heading toward the basement parking lot. "Go after them!" he ordered.
