Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 426

Samantha couldn't stand it and said, "How can you say something like that? You should just shut up if you have nothing better to say! No one would think you're mute if you keep quiet!"

Shaun had not come back last night, and there wasn't any news from him in the morning, so she was

worried sick. Hera reached out to hold Samantha's shoulders and gave her a reassuring hug.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Samantha turned to sneer at Nicholas before lying her head on Hera's shoulders. Nicholas was flabbergasted.

Hera asked, "Were they your people?"

"That's right. The leader of that SWAT team is one of my good friends. They wouldn't have come so quickly if I hadn't called them!" Nicholas said proudly.

"Were the people on the helicopter also yours?" Hera asked.

"What helicopter?" Nicholas asked instead.

He didn't see any helicopters last night. He only saw about ten police cars. Was she suggesting that someone else had gotten help faster than him?

"It's nothing. Thank you," Hera answered.

If the helicopter had nothing to do with the SWAT team, then there was a high chance that the helicopter was the help Bernard had sent. But what on earth was his position within Astral Nova that allowed him to mobilize their people so quickly?

Suddenly, Hera felt like she had uncovered one of Bernard's biggest secrets!

"Just a thank you? How can you be so insincere?" Nicholas said with disdain.

Hera also felt that she wasn't being sincere enough, so she flipped through her bag to look for her acupuncture kit. Then, she climbed past the middle row to the last row.

Nicholas immediately had a bad feeling when he saw her acupuncture kit. He shrank back into his seat and looked at her vigilantly.

"What do you want to do?"

"I just want to thank you for your help," Hera said as she opened her acupuncture kit and took out a silver needle.

Nicholas felt his head tingle at the sight of the silver needle and quickly said, "It's alright."

She had already taken out her silver needle, and there was no reason for her to retreat now. Hera turned to Wayne and said, "Wayne, hold him."

Wayne got the orders and immediately held Nicholas still. "Don't touch me! Ah-"

"You're a grown man. How can you still be afraid of needles?" Wayne asked with disdain.

The injection didn't seem to hurt, causing Nicholas to fall into silence. After 15 minutes, Nicholas realized his cold and headache was much better.

It was no wonder that Hera was considered a miracle doctor. She was amazing!

"There's no need to thank me. Just remember to tell me about your friend's investigation of the situation last night," Hera said as she kept her needle.

Nicholas looked at Hera with admiration as she nodded and said, "No problem!"

Then he realized something was off. Shouldn't she be thanking him? How did he end up as her lapdog?"

On the other side, Aaron knocked on Bernard's office door and placed a stack of papers on his table." Bernard, the report is out."

Then, he glanced at Shaun, who was sleeping on the sofa, and subconsciously lowered his voice. "There were indeed two groups of people there last night.

"One of the group of attackers was hired by the brother of one of the drug rings you've destroyed. He wanted to avenge his brother, but he's already in police custody."

Bernard flipped through the report and nodded.
