Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 297

As for Amelia, she was Queenie's accomplice.

Previously, when Amelia had just been imprisoned, Queenie couldn't wait to announce it to the world and blamed everything on her. This completely broke her heart, leading her to reveal the truth.

This time, the police offered her a reduced sentence, incentivizing her to confess about the other person Queenie mentioned. She cooperated, but the information she provided was of little to no use.

"According to Amelia's statement, Queenie was close to Aurora Killian but had no concrete evidence of her involvement. It was only Amelia's suspicions. That's all we managed to gather from the interrogation in the past two days," the person on the other end of the call said.

"Okay. Thank you," Hera replied and hung up.

Then, she softly repeated the name, "Aurora Killian."

She turned and sat in front of her computer, accessing a website. This was a private storage space she had developed herself. She searched and pulled up information on Aurora.

When Hera was still with the Killians, Aurora was studying abroad, so they didn't interact much.

Hera remembered her as a well-mannered young lady of the house. The information showed that Aurora fell in love with a poor artist after returning from abroad and brought him back to the Killians as a live-in son-in-law.

They were married for ten years but had no children. Eventually, they adopted a son and named him Roman Killian.

Rumor had it that Aurora couldn't have children, but she desperately wanted one of her own. So, she sought help from various doctors.

Hera's eyes narrowed slightly. It turned out that Aurora was consulting doctors, which Hera was one.

She thought it was time to reclaim the identity that Camille had stolen from her.

She logged into Divine Forum and wrote an academic paper on specialized drugs for various diseases based on the data from the drug test she conducted on her family last night. Then, she immediately published the paper.

Within a minute of publication, the paper had thousands of views and over five thousand shares.

"This is so exciting! Dr. Shadow has finally published a paper!"

"I'm saving this immediately. Will read it thoroughly today!"

"Oh my goodness! I thought I was seeing things until I saw everyone in the group sharing this. This is legit."

"Dr. Shadow, my goddess, I'll always love you!"

"Does this specialized drug use the Eclipse Stone? Where can I get it? I want to buy it!"

"I want it too!"

"Me too! This is my ID."

...

Within three minutes of publication, the paper was reported by major media outlets and became the number one trending topic.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Bernard's voice.

"Sweetie, it's time to get up, or you'll be late."

Hera glanced at the time. It was already seven forty. She almost forgot she was still a student who had to attend school.

She didn't know what to say at that realization.

She closed the website and cleared the browsing history before turning off the computer. Then, she walked over and opened the door.

Bernard was wearing a fitted white shirt and black trousers. He had a gray apron tied in the front. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-toned arms. His whole appearance gave off a mix of efficiency and a homely vibe.

"Have you washed up? I made you a sandwich," Bernard said as he leaned on the doorframe and looked at Hera.

Hera sometimes thought that

Bernard was quite suited to be a house-husband. He had definitely won over her stomach with all the food he made. But what was going on now?

He was blocking her way, and the mischievous look in his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses clearly implied that he was up to something. "Did you just make it for me but not intend to let me eat it?"

Hera looked up at him.

"Good morning. At this moment, shouldn't you give me a morning kiss?" Bernard said while tilting his face slightly.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Hera looked at the handsome face before her. Ever since she left the Killians, she had become somewhat aloof. So, sometimes, she couldn't understand how Bernard could be so shameless.

It was one thing to ask for gifts, but how could he ask for a kiss so naturally?

Hera wondered if it was because of the glasses.
