“Not at all!” Gino didn’t want to admit it. “But Bernard is rich!”
Mildred placed the game console he had thrown aside in front of him. “Look at this first before you say that.”
Bernard had previously given him a priceless and unmarketable global limited edition game console.
Gino was at a loss for words. Because he had profited from Bernard, he unwillingly stated, “He’s only a little better than that fake academic, Christopher.”
He had heard that Christopher was a fake academic, so he had a negative impression of him. If he had to choose between Bernard and Christopher to be his brother-in-law, he would choose Bernard.
At least Bernard was more attractive and wealthy.
Mildred analyzed it for him, “Mr. Killian is far superior to Christopher. He’ll be the Killians’ heir, but Christopher may not be the Luddens’ heir. If Mr. Killian becomes your brother-in-law, he can buy you anything. Everything in the Killians may belong to your sister one day.”
Gino thought it made sense. So, he returned to his room to message Bernard.
…
Hera was taking a shower in the guest room’s bathroom. Despite her phone continuously ringing outside, she took her time finishing her bath. Then, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and went out.
The incoming call had stopped, indicating ten missed calls from Bernard.
She was about to call back when her phone rang again. She immediately answered the call and asked, “Hello, Bernie. What’s the matter?”
The other end of the phone was quiet for a while before he said, “You finally answered my call.”
“I just took a shower.” When Hera wiped her wet hair with a towel, she didn’t hear his response. Glancing at the phone, she saw that the call had been hung up.
Immediately afterward, Bernard sent her a video call invitation.
Hera was rendered speechless.
“Let me see where you are.”
As soon as she connected the video, she saw Bernard’s handsome face. His background was an antique corridor with red lamps. Hera was impressed by the view. That was the promenade in the courtyard of the Kiffian residence.
When she was little, Daphne often took her to the promenade and told her stories about the carved images on the walls.
Hera fell into a daze as she recalled her distant memories.
Bernard saw her unfamiliar background and said, “You don’t seem to be at home.”
She responded, “Yes, I’m at the
Ludden residence. I just performed minor surgery on Mrs. Ludden Senior. I felt dirty, so I took ao shower.”
He asked, “Are you going to stay there tonight?”
a
Hera was stunned for a moment before wondering how he guessed it.
But she wasn’t going to tell him the whole truth, so she only responded lightly, Yes, Mrs. Ludden Senior has just come out of danger. I’m going to wait until she wakes up. I’Dreturn after I make sure she’s fine”
“Show me the interior of the guest room,” Bernard suddenly requested.
Despite her confusion, Hera switched the camera to the rear and showed him the guest room.
He was relieved to find that there was only her in the room with no men.
“I’m ready, Bernie. Let’s go.”
Suddenly, Hera heard a gentle female voice coming from Bernard’s side.
