Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 504

"What do you need it for?" Hera asked while frowning slightly.

Bernad's low voice sounded hoarse through the phone. "It's so I can use it when I miss you."

Hera became startled as an image of Bernard hugging her clothes crossed her mind, causing her face to turn slightly warm.

"You… No! You can't take anything of mine!" After speaking, Hera ended the call.

…

Meanwhile, Bernard stared at the phone after she disconnected the call. He chuckled before turning to put Hera's most worn black silk nightgown into his suitcase.

Samantha took a bottle of Romanée-Conti and two wine glasses from the wine rack. After setting them on the coffee table, she poured the wine into the glasses.

"What's going on with the two of you? Besides, the headlines are all about you. Your alias is like an atomic bomb that took everyone by surprise after it exploded. Seems like even Mr. Killian couldn't accept it, huh?"

Hera raised her wine glass and took a sip before briefly explaining everything that happened earlier. As soon as she finished speaking, she did not forget to warn Samantha, "Keep what you know about his identity to yourself. Don't tell anyone else."

After hearing that, Samantha hurriedly drank three glasses of wine to suppress her shock. She nearly screamed, "Mr. Killian is actually Grandmaster of Astral Nova? He…"

Hera quickly covered Samantha's mouth."Don't talk about this anymore. Remember to keep it a secret."

Samantha mumbled while nodding vigorously. Once she raised her fingers as if she were taking a vow, Hera finally released her.

"Isn't the courtyard house under his name? He could just find an excuse anytime and move back, right?"

Seeing how Hera gulped down half a glass of wine as if it were water, Samantha hurriedly set her wine glass down to stop her.

"Don't drink so fast since you can't handle alcohol well. You'll get drunk even faster this way."

By then, Hera was already slightly tipsy. She replied while slurring slightly, "If he were to move back, I'd just move out. I'll even pay him rent for the clinic."

"No way! You're going too easy on him! After all, you did cure his illness. The money spent to buy the Eclipse Stone alone should cover the courtyard!" Samantha immediately answered.

Hera said nothing as she poured another glass for herself. Samantha tried to stop her but was pushed away.
