Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 121

Christopher paused his studying, looked up, and said, "Didn't you say these contests were boring?"

"Yeah. But I can't accept that country bumpkin Hera taking first place while I'm in second," Zyler replied.

"Wait... Hera joined?"

Christopher immediately put his pen down and opened the forum on his phone.

On the girls' voting page, he saw Hera leading by a wide margin. Then, on the boys' side, he found himself in first place, with Zyler in second. Zyler was only 49 votes behind.

Christopher decided that if Hera participated, so would he. He wanted to perform alongside Hera.

Christopher quickly cast a vote for himself.

"Wait..."

Zyler tried to intervene, but Christopher's screen had already shown a successful vote.

After voting for himself, Christopher shared the voting page in the class group chat and within his social circle to campaign.

Zyler was shocked.

"Didn't you also say it was a waste of time?"

He wondered why Christopher suddenly changed his mind and voted for himself.

Christopher replied earnestly, "This is an academy-organized event. As a member of the academy and heir of the Ludden family, I should actively participate."

Zyler was left speechless.

He watched as Christopher finished sharing the voting page and returned to cast another vote for Hera.

"Why are you voting for—"

Zyler began.

"Have you cast your vote for the female candidate? If you haven't, vote for Hera," Christopher interrupted.

Zyler refused, "That country bumpkin doesn't deserve my vote!"

Zyler couldn't let his good friend be deceived.

He would expose her on the day of the speech contest.

…

The Belle and Hunk election had been going on fiercely for a week. The top ten male and female candidates would be chosen on Friday night.

Meanwhile, Hera was busy in the lab, separating the Eclipse Stones and developing medications. She paid no attention to the election.

She occasionally glanced at her phone while having lunch in the cafeteria on Friday afternoon.

It had been a week since the auction, but Bernard hadn't contacted her.

She wondered if he no longer wanted her to cure him.

She considered that he may have heard that the Eclipse Stone had fallen into someone else's hands and had given up on treatment.
