Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 543

"No, it's not him."

Hera wanted to move away from him, but Bernard reached out and trapped her against the wall.

"Is it Nicholas?" he asked.

Hera exclaimed, "No!"

As Bernard looked at her, his gaze turned more intense. He thought, "I didn't see her for just a few days. Which bastard did she meet behind my back?"

"Then who is it?" He tried moving closer, but Hera pushed him away. She coldly interrupted him, "If you continue asking, I'll break up with you!"

All at once, Bernard looked very upset. "Sweetie, how could you get mad at me because of another man? I'm so sad. Nothing you do will be able to comfort me now."

Hera didn't know what to say.

He changed expressions in a blink of an eye. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become an actor.

"You should kiss me," Bernard continued.

"Be serious. Look at this." Hera passed him a photo.

Once he saw it, he knew that the background was the Killian residence, where Hera had stayed when she was young. He had gone there many times in the past and even lived there for a long period of time.

However, after looking at the people wearing uniforms with the Astral Nova logo on them, he looked very conflicted.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Since you're the grandmaster, are you able to find out what they did back then?" Hera asked.

Bernard took the photo from her. "The uniforms look old. I'll look into this when I get home."

Hera wasn't used to Bernard leaving her house of his own accord.

...

Meanwhile, Aurora received the two photos that Hera sent her. Since she was a little confused, she replied with a question mark, but Hera didn't reply. As such, she looked at the photos carefully.

In the end, she noticed the familiar background in them. Wasn't this place Roman's courtyard?

After enlarging the photo, she noticed that the soil beneath the big tree looked like it had been dug. There seemed to be something in the soil.

Where was Hera?

Aurora immediately went over with her maids but couldn't find Hera. However, she noticed some pills that were mixed with soil under the locust tree!

This made her remember the

incident of someone switching her pills. She couldn't find the culprit back then. So, Aurora told her maids, "Pick up all the pills inside the soil!"

The maids replied, "Alright."

"Who do you think the culprit is, Talia?" Aurora asked one of her maids.

"Don't panic, Ms. Killian. Take care of your baby. The culprit will be found soon," Talia replied.

At this moment, Roman came back from school. Once he entered his living quarters, he saw Aurora and a few maids searching around in his courtyard.

He became a little worried. Roman approached Aurora and asked, "What's going on, Mom?"

"Hello, Roman." Aurora turned around and looked at him.

When he realized that she looked a

little unwell, Roman felt rather

unsettled. Aurora had been

searching for the culprit who

I

switched her sleeping pills. It wasn't a good sign that she came to his courtyard.

Yet, when he saw two maids digging the soil underneath the locust tree, he calmed down.

"All the pills have been found, Ms. Killian." Just then, a maid passed a transparent bag filled with medicine to Aurora.

Aurora's expression was very serious. She took out a pill and handed it to Talia. "Give this to Dr. Flynn and get her to run some tests on it."

"Alright," Talia answered, placing the pill into a small and transparent bag.

On the other hand, Roman was extremely shocked to see the small pills. He wondered why they were there.
