Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 272

Leon's mouth twitched.

"Will he be that ruthless? If he finds out you're Raven, he'll probably want to recruit you into Killian Corporation.

"Then, the Killian family would be your backer, and you could use their influence to smooth things over with Miridian. You could maybe get them to stop chasing you."

"Forget it," Hera replied casually.

"He's told me before that he's not doing well with the Killian family and wants to make it on his own."

Leon didn't know what to say.

He wondered what "not doing well" meant, given that he could marry, inherit, and become the next head of the family.

Hera drank half of her coffee as they talked. She then pulled out a silver USB drive from her pocket and inserted it into the computer. Shortly after, her fingers danced swiftly across the keyboard.

Leon knew Hera was skilled, but this was the first time he had witnessed her prowess firsthand.

Her fingers moved like graceful reeds, leaving only faint traces on the keyboard. The screen filled with rapidly scrolling white text on a black background before he could decipher any of the code.

Ten minutes later, several documents appeared on the previously empty SD card.

They were named in the default style of old Nokia phone systems. There were albums, recordings, and so on.

However, someone had maliciously shredded the original data, and the recovery was incomplete. The photo albums contained pictures that could no longer be displayed.

Hera listened to an audio file in the recordings.

It was recorded 11 years ago, but the exact date couldn't be determined due to incomplete data recovery.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"Is this it? Boss, you're truly amazing!" Leon exclaimed excitedly as he pulled out his phone.

"I'll text Amelia."

"Wait."

Hera raised her hand to stop him. She double-clicked the audio file and played it.

Leon widened his eyes.

"Boss! I have a confidentiality agreement with her "

"Hush! Quiet," Hera cut him off.

The audio played. Initially, there was only the sound of rustling, possibly due to poor recording or damaged audio quality.

This continued for over five minutes until another voice emerged.

"...If this goes wrong, people could die!"

It was a man's rough voice, deliberately kept low. He sounded nervous.

Hera's eyes lit up. She was listening intently when the rustling sound returned.

Six minutes passed before another voice, a woman's, spoke up.

"I'll give you 500 thousand dollars. Do as I say. Once it's done, regardless of the outcome, I'll look after your wife and daughter..." After that came the rustling sound.

Hera found the voice somewhat familiar. Upon closer thought, she concluded it was Queenie's voice.

The recording ended there, followed by three minutes of rustling, then silence.

Hera considered the information

from the recording-"11 years ago", "people could die", "500 thousand

dollars", and "looking after

lov

someone's wife and daughter".

She connected this information to

е

Daphne's car accident from 11 years ago. She wondered if it was Queenie who instructed Robin to cause the accident that killed Daphne.

Unfortunately, the crucial evidence in this recording was missing.

She attempted to recover the data again, but the result was the same.

Unwilling to give up, she tried using software to repair the recording, but it still didn't work. It seemed like something had interfered during the recording process.

Hera clenched her fists at the thought of Queenie's cunning face.

Seeing her unsettling expression, Leon cautiously touched her shoulder.

"Boss, are you okay? This recording sounds like a contract killing. Could it be related to Madison and Isabella? You asked me to keep an eye on them."
