Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 189

Hera fixed her gaze on Bernard before scanning him from the bottom to the top. It was as though she could see his muscular figure through his clothes. In the end, her gaze landed on Bernard's gorgeous face.

"You want a gift from me? Not a problem. Give me ten of your selfies. I need to trade them for the medicinal ingredient I need," she said.

It was Bernard's turn to be speechless.

"Right. I want the selfies that are similar to the one you sent to me by mistake in the past," Hera added.

Bernard remained silent.

He had been wondering how Hera would get her hands on his photos. Never did he expect that she'd request them from him in such a blunt manner.

"I don't have any selfies left. I don't really take them," Bernard denied right away.

"Didn't you send someone else your selfie last time? You even claimed that you sent it to the wrong person!" Hera gazed at Bernard suspiciously. Clearly, she didn't trust him.

"Are you jealous?" Bernard looked at Hera with a mysterious smile on his face.

Upon recalling the incident involving Bernard and Camille back then, Hera's long-forgotten irritation came back in full force.

"Don't switch the subject! The medical ingredient is meant for you. Now, hurry up and give me the photos," she urged stonily.

Hera really was a stubborn one.

Bernard opened his photo album and showed it to her.

"Seriously, I don't have any photos of myself. I didn't send the photo to the wrong person back then; I sent the wrong photo to you. I wanted to send you another one, you know. You're the only one who gets to see my selfies."

Initially, Hera didn't want to look at the photo album. But her eyes still betrayed her by gliding over to Bernard's phone screen.

There were only two photos in his photo album.

The first one was the photo

featuring his abs, which had been sent to her in the past. The other photo was a photo of Bernard's gorgeous looks. There was even a caption at the bottom of the photo, but Hera couldn't make it out since the font was too small.

Hera was still doubting Bernard's reason, so she raised a hand and swiped the screen upward to check the album properly.

True to Bernard's words, there were only two photos in his photo album.

"Who did you strike a deal with? What sort of medical ingredient are you trying to barter for?" Bernard asked despite knowing the answers to those questions.

Hera didn't want to reveal too much information to him. She gazed downward instead.

"It's a guy with a weird fetish. I'm trying to get my hands on a medicinal ingredient that can save your life."

Bernard was momentarily silent when he heard the answer.

"Is it the Eclipse Stone? I heard that Dr. Shadow obtained it," he said.

At the same time, he studied Hera's expression carefully in order to capture the slightest change in her expression.

Hera's expression was still stony,

but her eyelashes fluttered slightly the moment she heard Dr. Shadow's name being mentioned. She was a great actress, but Bernard still

noticed the hint of strangeness.

"It seems that you think too highly of yourself." She chuckled icily in response.

As if the Eclipse Stone was worth ten of Bernard's selfies!
