Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 865

Carlos was shocked to see Hera lying on the couch. The first thing that came to mind was how gorgeous she was.

The last time he saw such a beautiful woman was his idol, Dr. Shadow. Oh, that wasn't right. Wasn't that Dr. Shadow lying here?

Carlos and Johnson were both from the Chime family and got along very well. They considered Dr. Shadow to be their idol.

He was envious of Johnson for having the chance to work with her in the past. He never thought he'd have the chance to see her up close.

Ever since Hera mysteriously went missing five years ago, no one in Jedburgh ever brought her up again. More accurately, no one dared to mention her again.

But why was she suddenly back?

"Mr. Killian, she—"

"Stop talking crap. Quickly take a look at her and see what's going on. She was fine just now, then she began clutching her head. It looked as if she had a headache before fainting right after," Lucius remarked.

Carlos put on his gloves. After doing a check-up, he didn't find anything amiss. "She seems fine. It's likely that the sudden wave of emotions hit her, causing her blood pressure to go up and faint. She'll wake up very soon. Don't worry."

"Alright." Lucius sat beside the couch as he looked at Hera. He suddenly came to realize that Hera had asked him earlier who he was.

Had she forgotten about him? He suddenly felt uneasy.

While standing on the side, Carlos couldn't help but sneakily turn on his phone camera and snap a photo of Hera before sending it to Johnson.

"I have no regrets anymore. I never thought I'd have the chance to get close to Dr. Shadow."

After sending the text, Carlos waited for a while, but Johnson did not respond. So, he sent a few more texts.

Meanwhile, Johnson was analyzing a case. The phone beside him emitted notifications twice, but he ignored it.

Not long after, several notifications followed. Thinking something had happened, Johnson checked his phone and saw that the messages were from Carlos.

"Doesn't he have anything better to do?" Johnson muttered to himself. He was about to turn off the screen when he accidentally tapped into the photos Carlos sent.

Bernard: "Has he been hacked? Douglas, kick him out."

Johnson: "No, that's not true. Let me explain…"

Before he could finish typing, he received a notification that he had been kicked out of the group, rendering him speechless.

…

Meanwhile, Hera slowly came to her senses in the office. She was slightly surprised to see Lucius beside the couch, but she recovered from her shock very quickly.

Lucius' unfair conviction was the reason for the hatred deep buried within her heart. Hera had returned to familiar places but recalled nothing. However, the sight of him made her recall everything. His wrongful imprisonment was the source of her pain.

"Hera, how are you feeling? Do you feel unwell?" Lucius asked worriedly upon realizing that she was awake.

Hera sat up and massaged her tingling temples with a shake of her head. "I'm fine."
