Under the Heiress' Facade -
Chapter 495
The host quickly stepped in to calm the crowd, and the guests began to disperse. However, a portion of the crowd was reluctant to leave, their eyes fixed on Hera. They wanted to approach her but were too intimidated by the bodyguards to make a move.
"Hera, how was my performance just now?" Gino felt smug after his triumph and sought approval from Hera.
Gideon scoffed to himself, "I can practically see you wagging your tail like a dog."
Hera ruffled Gino's hair. "Not bad."
Gino hated it when people messed with his hair. But he didn't dodge this time. Instead, he asked, "Does it feel nice?"
His hair was surprisingly soft.
Hera nodded. "Not bad."
Gino's eyes lit up. "Be my mentor, and I'll let you ruffle my hair every day!"
Hera felt speechless.
"Ms. Raven, now that your family matters are settled, isn't it time for us to discuss our business?" A woman approached. She was Laura, a representative from Miridian's National Space Administration.
The translator accompanying her was about to translate her words when Hera stood up. She unplugged the USB flash drive and asked, "What do you want?"
She spoke in fluent Terranish.
The translator stopped. Seeing this, Laura addressed her directly, "You illegally hacked into our satellite, USA-224. We need you to come with us." Bernard stood beside Hera protectively. And challenged her in Terranish, "Why should we listen to you?"
His pronunciation was identical to Hera's, though his voice was more low and captivating.
"We have an international arrest warrant." Laura took out the document as proof.
Bernard glanced at it indifferently. "Are you sure that arrest warrant is still valid?"
"Of course!" Laura was confident.
"Then how do you explain this?" Hera held up her phone with a picture on the screen.
The image displayed the latest notice revoking Raven's arrest warrant, stating that the case was dismissed!
This photo was the gift she had
received from the Grandmaster of Astral Nova.before she arrived. It was also the reason she was certain that the Grandmaster of Astral Nova knew her identity. How could he not, after sending her the notice?
But when exactly did Bernard discover she was Raven?
Hera glanced at Bernard.
Feeling her gaze, Bernard
maintained his calm facade though he was panicking inside. Hera knew! It seemed doing house chores wouldn't be enough to make up for it.
"How could this be!" Laura examined the notice in disbelief. She quickly ordered her assistant to verify it.
The assistant made a phone call before returning and whispering something to Laura. Her expression changed but she quickly regained her composure.
Laura kept the arrest warrant. "We still need you to come with us. We need to discuss satellite USA-224."
Her superiors had demanded she bring Raven back to Miridian no matter what!
