Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 36

“Professor Killian, goodbye.” Hera took back the books she was about to hand over and turned toleave.

Bernard watched coldly as she walked away, and a faint smile played at the corner of his mouth.Was she jealous?

“What’s the matter?” He turned back, and his handsome face exuded an air of chilliness in aninstant.

Giselle was scared by his sudden coldness, but she managed to hide her inner trembles very well.

“Dernie, didn’t you say we could stay in touch? I called y

you, but t

t your phone was off, and you didn’t reply to my messages on WhatsApp either..”

Giselle’s eyes were slightly moist, and her voice sounded aggrieved, making her look pitiful.

Usually, any man would feel sympathetic at the sight of her like this.

However, Bernard’s handsome face showed no trace of compassion as he looked at her coldly.

Unaware that her number had long been blocked and her text message on WhatsApp had beenignored, Giselle continued,

from you

“You asked Mr. Ludden to ask me if we could stay in touch, so I thought I’d reach out to you. I alsowanted to ask if you’re feeling better now?*

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to touch Bernard, but he stepped back to avoid her touch.

“Are you the young lady from the Everett family?” Bernard asked.

Giselle didn’t understand why he suddenly asked this, but she nodded affirmatively: “Yes.”

“I see,” Berard replied, then turned and left

Giselle stood there with a bewildered expression. What did he mean by that? Did that countrybumpkin tell him something?

No! She needed to replace a way to get Hera to leave Norburgh!

Hera entered class with the book in her arms, accompanied by the new homeroom teacher.

Some students in the class protested, saying that Hera should be expelled for misconduct.However, they didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of the homeroom teacher.

Hera didn’t care about the students‘ comments. She scanned the class with her cold gaze, and hergaze finallylanded on a girl sitting alone at the back.

The girl was slightly chubby, with a stiff bob haircut and a bunny hair clip on her ear. She lookedsomewhat timid.

Her seat had clearly been moved to the back deliberately. Someone was obviously bullying her.

Hera walked over, and the class bully, Janiya Figueroa, laughed sarcastically.

“It seems that people from the countryside are suited to sit together. Haha…”

The whole class burst into laughter.

Janiya was expecting to see Hera embarrassed and angry. She enjoyed seeing others frustratedand helpless.

However, Hera arranged her books calmly and then started playing with her phone, acting as if shehadn’t heard them at all.

Janiya suddenly felt that her tactic was useless, and she started to hate Hera

“Hello, I’m Isabella Young”

Isabella was being bullied at the academy, and no one wanted to sit next to her. She didn’t expectHera to sit next to her without hesitation.

Hera glanced at her, nodded, and then returned her gaze to her phone screen.

She quickly typed on the small keyboard area, and codes flashed rapidly on the screen above.

Isabella’s cheeks flushed slightly She had thought Hera was very beautiful when Hera entered theclassroom, and now, Hera looked even more beautiful up close.

Her new deskmate was really beautiful and elegant, albeit a bit aloof.

Isabella couldn’t concentrate in class while sitting next to a beauty. From time to time, she glancedat Hera, only to replace that Hera was playing with her phone the whole time with arold expression

Heraused a privacy screen protector, so Isabella couldn’t see what Hera was looking at

Was she looking at the content of the academy’s forum?

She had also heard about today’s scandal involving the Everett family’s banquet on the forum, andthe comments there were harsh.

“It–ideza,don’t believe what they say on the academy’s forum. I believe that you didn’t cheat,”Isabella said timidly.
