Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 658

Hera was the third person to find a coin. She remembered when she was still at the Killian residence, the family would sometimes hide coins in their puddings for Christmas.

After Hera left Jedburgh for the South, she never did that anymore. Frankly, she missed this tradition.

Samantha was the fourth to find a coin. She placed it on her palm. "Wow! I hope my movie will be a hit at the box office this year!"

Catherine was the fifth one. "I found a coin too."

Mildred and Wayne found theirs at the same time. Mildred said with a smile, "Seems like I'll be lucky this year!"

The next one was Tyler, who intentionally cast a glance at Bernard. He felt relieved that he found a coin before Bernard did.

Lilith also finally found a coin after everyone was almost done with their dinner. Thus, she pushed her plate aside, not wanting to eat anymore.

"Oh, there are ten coins, and nine of us have already found it. Bernard, it seems like you're out of luck!" Tyler taunted.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Oh?" Nicholas swept a glance across the table and noticed everyone had a coin in front of them except for Bernard.

Nicholas happily said, "His luck is exceptionally bad. It appears that he'll be very unlucky this year. Hera, you should stay away from him. Don't let him drag you down."

Lilith felt slightly awkward. She had placed the number of coins according to the number of people in the pudding. Thus, everyone should have a coin. Why was Bernard the only one without a coin?

Mildred noticed how there was more pudding left and quickly stated, "There's more. Take your time, and you'll eventually find a coin!"

"You're all so superstitious," Bernard replied disdainfully, but he still reached for more pudding, leaving Hera speechless.

since everyone was done eating, they left the dining table to chat in the living room. Only Bernard remained at the dining table, reaching for more pudding.

Although he could no longer eat more after having his fifth helping, he still forced himself to finish the remaining pudding in the dish. Bernard was about to throw up, but there was still no sign of the last coin, leaving him speechless.

Meanwhile, the rest of them were in the living room.

Thiago asked Hera to join him on the balcony. He took out his phone and said mysteriously, "That old witch from the Chime family won't dare to bully Mrs. Jones in the future. Do you want to see her nude photos?"

The phrase "nude photos" gave Hera an idea of what Priscilla had been through. "You work fast."

"If you agree to become the leader of the Black Serpents, my efficiency might even improve!" Thiago answered with a chuckle.

Hera wasn't interested in the Black Serpents that Thiago had set up in the South. To put things in a nicer way, Thiago asked her to become the leader so that she could help him manage the members.

So much would be needed to do, and it was rather taxing. Hera might as well use the time to write more codes and come up with a few more medications.

"I'll be lucky enough if I can even manage you," she answered nonchalantly.

"You'll definitely be able to manage me. You'll always be my boss. I'll follow your instructions to the letter. If you want to marry me, I can even give my life for yours," Thiago said.

"Why would I want your life?" Hera patted Thiago on the shoulder. "Just do as you're told."

After speaking, she turned to enter the dining room and help Lilith clear the dishes.

Thiago sighed as he looked at her figure. It wasn't easy to woo Hera.

By the time Hera helped Lilith clean up the kitchen, Thiago and the others had already left.

Catherine led Mildred toward the room where Everly used to stay and ordered Wayne to change the bedsheets and blankets. Seeing that made Lilith quickly dry her hands and hurry over to help.

Meanwhile, Bernard leaned against the couch, looking very uncomfortable. His mind drifted as he watched the news report on the Chime family's scandals.

Hera sat beside him and began to check her phone. Samantha had texted her, informing her that she had already arrived home.

Just as Hera was about to respond to her, Bernard grabbed her hand and placed it on his stomach.

"What are you up to?" Hera glared at him before retracting her hand. The others would be out at any moment. How embarrassing it would be if they saw them acting lovey-dovey.

"Give me a massage," Bernard said.

Hera looked at his tummy. Bernard even loosened his belt by two notches. "Feeling unwell?"

Bernard said, "Yeah, I ate too much."

Hera was speechless. She wondered if he actually did finish the remaining pudding.

"Are

you sure that

t your grandmother actually put ten coins in the pudding?" Bernard suddenly asked.
