Facade

“I didn’t ask you to protect me. I just told you not to mention me to the Killian family,” Heracorrected him. 

She was quite strong–willed. 

Bernard chuckled softly and complied, “Yes.” 

Seeing his smile, Hera inexplicably remembered the awkwardness in the car yesterday, and her checks med slightly red as she averted her gaze. At that moment, Bernard’s phone rang, so he turned to answer the call

It was unclear what the person on the other end said, but Bernard’s demeanor turned chilly, Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The little pig shivered all over when it felt the chilling air be emanated 

Although tera’s expression remained cold, a voice in her heart reminded her not to trest Bernard easily. 

After hanging up the phone, Bemard concealed the coldness he had inadvertently revealed, turned around, and sent Hera to the academy. 

He told her to call him if she needed anything, and he didn’t appear for the next few days. 

Originally, they had agreed to have her check his condition over the weekend, but when she texted him to ask when he would be back, he only repled “Later. Don’t worry.” 

Hera looked at those words and felt speechless. 

Who was worried about him? 

Since the patient wasn’t in a hurry, she naturally had no reason touch. 

That day, Lilith learned that Hera was staying at the academy after returning from the hospital. She felt both reluctant and worked. 

She wanted to go to the academy to find Hera and persuade her to come back home. After all, staying at home was better compared to staying in the academy’s dormitory. 

However, she was stopped by James 

“She’s the one who’s at fault in this matter. Not only did she not adroit her mistake, but she also ran away from home in a fit of anger. Who is she venting her anger on? 

“She can stay outside for the rest of her life if she has the guts to do so! None of you are allowed to give her living expenses without my permission! And don’t contact her!” 

James was furious, 

He didn’t believe Hera could continue Iving in a city like Norburgh that had a high cost of living after getting her living expenses cut off. 

Hers would definitely come back and admit her mistake obediently within a week! 

By then, he would make her realize that he was her father and the head of the Everett family! 

The disturbance on the forum caused by Hera’s supposed cheating and the Everett family’s banquet had died down over the weekend.. 

After the flag–raising ceremony on Monday, Hera was stopped by Christopher on her way back to Class R, which attracted resentful glances from many passing female students. 

As one of the academy’s most handsome boys and a top student, Christopher was usually focused solely on his studies and paid little attention to gossip. 

But Hera’s successful cheating had caught his attention. 

They would have done the same if they had known this trick was so effectivl 

“What’s the matter?“” Hera’s tone was indifferent. 

Ignoring the gazes of others, Christopher said shyly, “Hera, It’s study together in the future.” 

After learning that Hera was the mysterious academic prodigy, he was grounded by Andrew for three days. Even so, he had been excited for five days. 

He couldn’t wait to see Hera on Monday. 

She was the academic prodigy be admired, and he wanted to study with her! 

However.. 

“No.” Hera rejected him mercilessly before turning away coldly. 

Christopher gazed foolishly at her retreating figure while thinking to himself, “An academic prodigy sure acts differently.” 

she acting so arregant?” 

“wah. Christopher isn’t holding a grudge against her, but she still acts high and mighty. I wonder what benefits the Everett family gave to the academy to let her stay.” 

“Lalso want to study with Christopher.” 

The girls at the side whispered. Then, they pushed each other, wanting to comfort Christopher. At this moment, Giselle arrived 

She noticed Christopher stopping Hera just now.
