Chapter 739

Seeing this, Chad turned and headed back to the car, not wanting Bernard to interrupt his conversation with Hera.

Neil opened the back door of the Rolls-Royce, but Hera shook her head. "Let's talk here."

Chad paused, glancing at Hera, then at Bernard.

"There's nothing here that he can't know," Hera added.

Chad realized their relationship was even better than he had anticipated and had no choice but to compromise.

"What will it take for you to stay with Killian Corporation? We can increase your salary or provide you with a higher ratio of the profit. As for the company's shares, I can offer them to you too if you stay," Chad said.

Chad had found out that the money in Gino's account was from Hera. Hera had instructed Gino to buy the shares and now held a significant amount of them. Perhaps her goal was to become a shareholder.

With the shares in her hands, she and Bernard would hold more shares than anyone else in the company once they married. Killian Corporation would essentially belong to them.

"Would you agree if I told you I wanted the Killian family to reveal the truth about Mr. Greg's death back then?" Hera asked calmly.

Chad was shocked. He thought she was after the company's shares.

"That case was closed 12 years ago. What's the point of bringing it up now?" Chad's expression turned stern.

Hera sneered, "The case may have been closed, but was the real culprit caught?"

Chad remained silent. Ever since Linda hired someone to kill Daphne, he had started to question the circumstances of Greg's death. He had arranged a meeting with Lucius. While Lucius didn't admit to being the killer, he said it didn't matter as long as the Killian family continued to prosper.

Killian Corporation was already in chaos. Bringing this case back up would only add to the turmoil.

Seeing his silence, Hera knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but snort. She knew Chad would never agree to her terms. That was why she had resigned at Tyler's press conference, forcing Chad to come to her only to make such an impossible demand.

She wanted to back Killian Corporation into a corner!

"In that case, we have nothing more to discuss. Goodbye." Hera opened the door.

Chad was unwilling to give up. "The new chip design isn't just about Killian Corporation's profits. It's crucial for the country's technological advancements. If it's successful, it'll secure our country a place on the international tech stage. Don't you want to achieve something greater?"

"Of course," Hera replied.

Chad's eyes lit up. He knew someone as talented as her would have bigger aspirations.

Just as he was about to continue persuading her, Hera added, "But Killian Corporation isn't my only choice. XS Corporation is also a good option."

Bernard glanced at Hera with a hint of delight in his eyes.

"They've approached you?" Chad's mood darkened upon hearing the name. It was XS Corporation again!

Chad argued, "They don't have the financial resources of Killian Corporation. And I doubt they can offer you the same salary and benefits!"

Bernard pursed his lips. He wanted to argue that while XS Corporation might not seem as financially stable as Killian Corporation, he could give the entire company to Hera if she wanted. Could Chad offer her the whole Killian Corporation?

In the end, Bernard held back, curious how Hera would respond.

"But their integrity is far better than that of Killian Corporation!" Hera shot back. Chad was speechless.
