Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 354

Hera's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she grabbed a pillow from the bed and hurled it at him.

"You pervert!"

Bernard chuckled softly. He effortlessly caught the pillow and tossed it back onto the bed before disappearing into the bathroom.

Having already showered earlier at home, Hera simply changed into her pajamas and settled into bed. The sound of running water from the bathroom made her inexplicably nervous.

She idly played with her phone, trying to distract herself, but her attention was drawn to a WhatsApp message from Samantha.

Samantha: "Hey! Hera, have you used the gift yet?

"Don't forget to share your feedback!"

Thinking of the unopened package in her room, Hera replied, "Why? Did you finally get paid for your endorsement?"

Samantha: "Wait, isn't it past 3:00 am there? And you're still awake!"

Hera: "Mind your own business."

Just then, Samantha sent a WhatsApp video call invite, which Hera promptly declined. Deciding to avoid further conversation with Samantha, she switched to another chat.

As she switched to Raven's account, Hera suddenly remembered S' advice and switched to Shadow's account instead.

Shadow's account had few friends, and the first message was from the Grandmaster of Astral Nova.

She suddenly remembered that Camille had already launched the assembly line for special medication and that her own batch was scheduled for auction on the 15th.

Hera had an idea and quickly messaged the Grandmaster of Astral Nova.

Shadow: "Let's reschedule the auction of that batch of special medication."

As she sent the message, Bernard's phone on the bedside table lit up with a WhatsApp notification.

Hera glanced at the phone on the table and then at the conversation box with the Grandmaster of Astral Nova, who had not replied.

Unbothered, she sent another message.

Shadow: "Let me know when the new date is confirmed."

Just as she sent it, a WhatsApp notification popped up on Bernard's phone screen that had just gone dark.

Hera was caught off guard. She wondered if it was a coincidence.

She sent, "Are you there?" to the

She stared at the phone on the desk, bewildered.

Once or twice could have been considered a coincidence, but three times Row? She seriously

considered if Bernard was actually the Grandmaster of Astral Nova.

Hera reached for the phone, but before she could grab it, a large hand covered hers and took the phone away.

"Do you know the passcode? I'll unlock it for you."

Bernard's maic voice came from above.

Hera lifted her gaze. He was still in his bathrobe, warm and damp.

With a quick swipe of his thumb, Bernard unlocked the phone and handed it to her.

"The passcode is your birthday."

Hera took the phone and

immediately opened his WhatsApp account, only to replace three unread messages from Shaun, all of which contained inappropriate words.

Hera's cheeks flushed bright red. She contemplated if it was indeed purely a coincidence.
