Under the Heiress' Facade

Why wasn't Bernard asleep?

Hera returned a call to Bernard, who answered immediately, "Sweetie, what are you busy with? Why didn't you check your phone?"

"I was treating a patient. Why are you still awake?" Hera tucked the phone between her shoulder and ear and printed out the prescription she had prepared before handing it to Isla to sort it out.

"Let's get on a video call. I can't sleep without seeing you," Bernard whined.

Hera clicked her tongue. "I'm busy!"

Even so, she still started a video call.

In the video, Bernard was propped up against the headboard. The light highlighted his features, and the white robe he wore hung loosely, revealing a glimpse of his toned chest. Bernard smirked. "I saw you were looking for herbs. Do you need my help?"

Hera guessed he must have seen her post on the Divine Forum. "No need. How's it going over there? Are the negotiations going well? When will you be back?"

Bernard smiled. "Not bad. Miss me?"

Hera didn't deny it. "Yes. If you come back earlier, I can even put on a show for you."

Bernard chuckled. "Then, I'll finish up quickly. You must be working around the clock again since I'm not home, right?"

"I still take enough rest and meals," Hera mumbled vaguely.

From her response, Bernard knew Hera was probably skipping meals and staying up late. Hera was a workaholic. Once she was absorbed in her work, she would ignore everything else. He needed to finish his work and get back to keep watch of her.

While they were talking, Gino called.

"Go to sleep. I need to take a call. Goodnight." Hera then answered Gino's call.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He whispered on the other end of the line, "Hello, can you hear me?"

Noticing something was off in his tone, Hera frowned. "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to talk?"

Gino whispered, "Yes..."

Hera furrowed her brows at this. She thought something bad happened when Gino continued, "I'm in class!

But need to tell you some class!

Hera sighed. "Pay attention in class. We can talk about it later."

Gino stopped her. "Don't hang up! This is really important."

Hera groaned. "Speak."

Gino mumbled, "I saw the news. Before you take action against the Chime family, let me know in

stocks I'll make some pocket

money and share some with you later." ,

Hera's jaw dropped. Gino had even learned about stock trading?

At the same time, several topics had gone viral.

"Dr. Shadow is willing to pay for these four herbs!"

"Citizens are snatching up oyster shells, sea cucumbers, turmeric, and reishi mushrooms!"

"News from the government reminds people to not blindly follow price hikes!"

Everly watched as several topics about Hera buying herbs at six times the market price went viral and was pleased with how things turned out. Hera had grown anxious under her intentional price hikes and the herbs going out of stock!
