Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 520

"We had it worse whenever we had missions. Everyone had to sleep on the ground in the wild, so it's not bad here,' reminisced Bernard.

Hera wordlessly watched him spread his formal coat on the ground like a mat. In fact, it was handmade by a famous Lumorian designer. The designer might faint if he saw this.

After spreading it only big enough for himself to lay down, Bernard looked at her earnestly. "Would you like to share it with me?"

"Goodbye."

When Hera was about to leave, she noticed something under the suitcase. It was the black silky nightgown she couldn't find last night!

Alarmed, she quickly reached for it, but Bernard noticed her intention and grabbed it first. He hid it behind him.

"Give it back to me!" She glared at him.

"I bought it, so I guess it belongs to me, right?" Bernard pointed it out on purpose.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She pounced at him to snatch the garment back. Then, she took her phone out to transfer ten grand to him. "I bet this nightgown and the courtyard house are worth only this much. I don't owe you anything anymore!" "That's cruel of you, sweetie. Can't you at least give me something for remembrance?' He put on a pitiful face. She scoffed. "Is this the day you finally realize that I'm cruel?" She got up and patted the dust away before leaving with the nightgown and the property deed.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Don't spend the night here'

His face brightened. He knew that she wouldn't be this cruel to him! "Will you provide a bed? I can warm your bed for free."

"In your dreams! Get out and turn left. Choose any hotel to your liking." She then returned to the western wing. Bernard became speechless.

How cruel of her

But he deserved it. Although she didn't show him mercy, he had to think of a way to please her.

He was exhausted. Before this, he could spend several sleepless nights without a problem even if he was sick. However, after spending the last six months with quality sleep, spending a white night might affect his health.

Instead of sleeping on his formal coat, he left the place.

Hera returned to her study to delete the online comments that were targeting Catherine.

When she was certain that Bernard had left, she headed to the northern wing to make some medication. While she was focusing on the medication, someone called her from behind.

"Herie."

She looked back, but her hands didn't stop. 'Grandma, what are you doing here?'

"What are you doing? Need help?" Catherine changed her shoes and walked into the room.

"I want to develop a refined special medication. The Eclipse Stone is hard to come by, so I want to find if there are other alternative ingredients to replace it,' explained Hera before gladly accepting the offer. 'Would you like to join me? Let's see if these ingredients work or not."

"Sure." Catherine washed her hands and wore gloves before helping her out.

After a while, Catherine suddenly apologized, "Herie, I'm sorry for the trouble last night. I didn't expect Giselle to go to that length just to make me leave Youngworth Miracle Clinic."

She wanted to say it yesterday, but it was untimely to do so because the Everett family was around. "That's nothing. She even used your name to borrow money from loan sharks. Don't be such a stranger. You raised me. The trouble I gave you when I was little was way more cumbersome than this." Hera's hand didn't stop fumbling around the herbal medicines.

Catherine sighed. "Why don't I just return to the mountains? If she could do such a thing, no one knows what she might do next."
