Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 498



Hera's mind was a mess. She never expected that the person she was trying to find while keeping her whereabouts hidden from her boyfriend, would turn out to be her boyfriend himself!

"Did you recognize me at the auction for the Eclipse Stone last year?" Hera asked.

She recalled Bernard saying he recognized her as the miracle doctor from the bracelet she was wearing. Thinking back, it made sense that he was the Grandmaster of Astral Nova. The only people she interacted with when she won the Eclipse Stone were Samantha and the Grandmaster of Astral Nova.

"Yes," Bernard admitted. Although he was usually quick-witted, he found himself at a loss, feeling uneasy by the look Hera was giving him.

"Bernard, you're something else!" Hera pushed him away and got off the desk.

Not only did he find out about her secret identity, but he also made her spend 880 million dollars to get the Eclipse Stone for him! He scored big time! Moreover, he had made her agree to add him on WhatsApp, tricking her into taking photos and making deals with him.

And she ended up falling for Bernard during this...

Hera recalled everything that had happened with the Grandmaster of Astral Nova and felt like a fool.

Bernard stumbled back from the push. He anticipated that Hera would be angry if she found out he had deceived her. He also considered telling her his true identity but had refrained due to Astral Nova's rules.

He had planned to first change Astral Nova's rules before telling Hera, but he didn't expect his disguise to be exposed due to his carelessness.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry. Please let me

explain. Khad my reasons for note revealing my identity. And I only

knew you

were the miracle doetor

then not that you were Raven,"

Bernard started. Content belongs to

He added, "I only recently discovered that you were Raven from the deleted transfer records in Astral Nova's financial system."

Hera was mad. But considering she had also hidden her identity from him, she suddenly felt guilty. Her mind swirled as she looked at him and they both stared at each other silently.

They were both hiding their identities from each other, so it was quite a coincidence.

Hera noticed there was a computer

and a laptop on the desk, just enough for the two of them. The hidden door of the office had closed, leaving only them in the office. It seemed unlikely anyone would find

them here. Content b

She didn't know why Bernard knew about the hidden door. Hera snorted to herself. As the Grandmaster of Astral Nova, of course, Bernard knew about it.

"Let's have a match." She picked up the laptop. She wanted to see him work.

Bernard was just as eager. Although they had competed before, it was always initiated by Hera and ended abruptly. So, they never got their fill.

"Alright, you can use the computer," he said, taking the laptop from her. The computer was easier to use than the laptop.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Hera sat at the desk while Bernard sat on the couch, facing each other. They turned on their devices and inserted their USB flash drives.

Bernard looked up. From his angle, he could only see Hera's profile. Her lips were pursed, and she didn't look very happy.

Hera thought about the D language book she had annotated and was preparing to give him to help him learn. Now she knew how foolish she looked. He was the world's top hacker, someone on par with her mentor! She was a small fry compared to the real deal, Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
