Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 151

If Christopher had a tail, it would be wagging vigorously, much like a Husky excitedly greeting its owner returning home, a stark contrast to his previous stern demanor when warning Zyler and Lily.

Zyler couldn't help but wonder who had claimed that Hera was flirting with Christopher. The evidence clearly showed otherwise.

"Sorry!" Zyler said harshly to Hera before storming off in a mix of fury and embarrassment, feeling unjust by Christopher's different treatment toward him and Hera.

Despite Christopher's displeasure with Zyler's attitude, he let him leave nonetheless. Hera was puzzled by Zyler's sudden apology, though.

"Hera, I'm Cindy Fry, the class monitor of Class A," Cindy approached Hera, extending her hand as a friendly gesture.

"I'd like to apologize for my previous attitude. You've proven yourself to be a worthy opponent, after all. I look forward to seeing you in Class A next semester," she stated sincerely.

Cindy's straightforwardness reminded Hera of Samantha Steele, and she admired people like them.

"Nice to meet you." Hera shook Cindy's hand.

"Also, a quick word of advice—keep an eye on Lily Bourne," Cindy reminded her. Having witnessed Lily's two-face demeanor, Cindy was convinced that Lily would seek payback for what happened earlier.

"Oh. Who's Lily Bourne?" Hera asked indifferently.

Dumbfounded by Hera's response, Cindy explained, "The one who danced the bunny dance?"

"Is she a badass?" Hera inquired.

"Not as badass as you!" Christopher quickly interjected.

Cindy was left speechless by his comment.

After the contest, Hera decided to head to Skyview Heights to check out Tiramisu. She had been avoiding going there because she thought Bernard might be there.

Suddenly, a yellow Ferrari pulled up beside her. Rolling down the window, Christopher called out from the car, "Need a ride, Hera? I can give you a lift."

Accepting his offer, Hera slid into the back seat and provided the address for Skyview Heights.

Ten minutes later, Christopher pulled up to the west gate of Skyview Heights.

"Which unit are you in? Do you want me to drop you off?" Christopher asked, glancing at the security booth's barrier, trying to discern Hera's home address.

"I'll walk from here, thank you," Hera replied as she stepped out of the car.

Christopher swiftly unbuckled his seatbelt, grabbed the bouquet from the passenger seat, and exited the car. "You forgot your bouquet, Hera."

Glancing nonchalantly at the bouquet, Hera recognized it as the one she had received from the girl during her speech. She had left it in the prep room and hadn't expected Christopher to bring it over for her.

"Thank you," Hera said as she took the bouquet.

Bernard, who happened to be nearby, witnessed everything—a man sending Hera home in a sports car and even presenting her with a bouquet!

He couldn't believe that Hera was already seeing another man while he had only been away on a mission. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Hera!" Bernard called out, his tone seething with anger.

Hera turned around and saw him in a wheelchair, dressed casually in gray, his expression pale. Momentarily taken aback, she frowned as she approached him.

"Why have you come back?" she asked in puzzlement.

Bernard scoffed, thinking that Hera might have already run off with someone else if he hadn't returned sooner.
