Under the Heiress' Facade -
Chapter 167
"Of course! Why else would Dean Ludden personally deal with the situation, if not to back the filthybitch up?"
Yana was very confident that Hera had seduced Andrew.
Hera had stirred up a ruckus at the Gaskells' family banquet in the past, resulting in them becominga laughingstock in the upper echelons. Also, their reputation had been endangered since thatincident.
Queenie was furious at Hera because of that incident. Of course, it was only natural for her to hateHera to the core.
Now, all Yana had to do was invoke Queenie's wrath directed at Hera. That way, she'd becomeYana's ally in dealing with Hera. Things would definitely be a lot easier after that.
"And here I was, thinking about how to destroy that brat once and for all! To think that herscandalous weakness is presented to me on a silver platter!" Queenie snarled out, her eyesnarrowing slightly.
"This time, she has nowhere to escape," Zyler muttered under his breath while clenching his fiststightly.
He had been worrying about how to expose Hera's true colors so that he could patch his friendshipwith Christopher in order to secure a spot on the guaranteed admission list. Now, that chance hadarrived.
"Zyler, since you and Christopher are such close friends, can you help put in a good word for me infront of him so that I can return to Cavenridge as a student? I promise, once I'm re-enrolled into theacademy, I'll definitely study hard instead of picking fights with others!" Eugene requested eagerly.
"Precisely. Zyler, you and Mr. Ludden are good friends, aren't you? Can you speak up for Eugene?My sweet Eugene can't leave Cavenridge, you see," Yana pleaded as well.
This was the purpose behind their visit.
After Eugene got expelled from Cavenridge International Academy, the other elite academiesrefused to take him in as their student. On the other hand, Eugene's grades were so poor that hecould barely qualify for public schools. Then again, he felt that studying in a public school washumiliating, so he didn't want to enroll in any of them.
"Um…" Zyler looked a little troubled.
The thing was, he never told anyone that Christopher no longer wanted to remain as his friend. Thatwas because he was confident that Christopher would soon make up with him. To him, there was noneed to tell anyone about the incident, lest others laughed at him instead.
"This isn't a problem at all. Zyler can bring it up to Christopher the next time they meet. Just waitpatiently for his good news."
While Zyler was racking his brain on how to refuse Yana and Eugene politely, Queenie agreed tohelp them out on his behalf.
Naturally, Zyler didn't know what to say.
Yana was elated, to say the least. "Thank you, Queenie and Zyler!"
"Thank you, Zyler!" Eugene piped up excitedly. "My mom told me that Cavenridge will be given twoslots in Vardhar University's guaranteed admission list! One of them is definitely yours! She eventold me to study hard like you, so that I can get into Vardhar University in the future!"
"Ahaha… You're welcome…" Zyler smiled awkwardly.
He was even more bent on exposing Hera's true colors and patching up his friendship withChristopher. If not, he'd be reduced to a laughingstock among the elite families.
…
On Monday morning, Hera finished her breakfast and got ready to go to school. That was whenBernard wheeled himself out of the room.
"I'll take you there," he offered.
Hera glanced at him. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses was perched on his nose bridge, thusaccentuating his flawlessly gorgeous features. His short hair was styled with hair gel, and hisappearance was completed with a black suit, which brought out his figure. A gray checkered woolenquilt rested on his lap to ensure his comfort.
If it weren't for the fact that Bernard was seated in his wheelchair, Hera would've thought that hewas planning to show up at a red carpet event.
Also, Bernard was still confined to his wheelchair. Was he really taking her to school? Or was sheexpected to wheel him there?
"It so happens that I need to visit Cavenbridge as well. I need to deal with something there,"Bernard explained as though he could sense what Hera was thinking at the moment.
His injuries had significantly healed after his two-day recuperation. So, Hera didn't restrict him fromleaving home. She just acquiesced to his request to go to the academy with her.
Both of them left the apartment after that. The moment they reached the gateway of the residentialarea, they spotted a yellow Ferrari parking right outside. Christopher stood next to the car whilegazing into the residential area.
He visibly lit up when he saw Hera. Then, he raised an arm to wave at her. "Hera!"
But when he saw Bernard, his smile faded away slightly.
It seemed that Hera and Bernard really were living together.
After Christopher drove Hera back to the residential area on Friday night, he had witnessed her andBernard walking into the area together. He even waited at the gateway till midnight after that, yet henever saw Hera exiting the residential area.
Christopher wasn't sure what relationship Hera and Bernard shared, but he subconsciously leanedmore toward the possibility of them being relatives. He guessed that Hera had to stay with Bernardto care for him, seeing as he was injured.
"Why are you here?" Hera asked coolly.
