Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 680

"I saw you come here yesterday, but you didn't make any noise at all. Don't tell me you just woke up at this hour?" Tyler pointed out after seeing Hera in her pajamas.

She was wearing a sleeveless black nightgown, which emphasized her fair skin. Her slender neck and her curvaceous figure made him swallow awkwardly and shift his gaze away from her.

It wasn't that he was trying to act all naive. He was afraid that he might lose it if he continued looking at her.

He remembered how she had kicked him in the groin the last time. It hurt a whole lot, and he didn't want history to repeat itself.

Sensing his gaze, Hera reached for the jacket on the coat rack near the door.

"Why are you here?" She yawned as she headed back into the house. Seeing the lunchbox on the coffee table, she suddenly felt a tinge of hunger in her belly.

"I made some discoveries." Tyler walked into the house, plopped on the couch, and crossed his legs, making himself at home as if he owned the place.

"Tell me about it," said Hera, her ears perking up as she walked over to sit opposite him.

"Is this how you're supposed to treat your mentor?" Tyler lifted an eyebrow, dissatisfied.

Hera clucked her tongue out of habit and produced a mini coffee grinder from under the coffee table. After taking her time making coffee, she poured Tyler a cup of steaming coffee.

He took a sip of the coffee and decided that he was happy with the service. He told her, "Twelve years ago, the Astral Nova members had indeed gone to the Killian residence. They had Daphne Jones design a key code for them. This project was confidential. I don't know anything else about it."

Hera was aware that the organization was highly secretive, but she just had to ask, "Why her?"

"After her sudden death, the organization was worried that the information in her hands would be exposed, so they had some men head over to take back all the data."

It meant that Astral Nova wasn't behind Daphne's death. How dare Rhett lie to Hera and say that the organization was behind Daphne's death!

Linda's pre-surgery voice in the recording and Rhett's pretentious kind demeanor resurfaced in Hera's mind. Hera cursed under her breath and deduced that both Linda and Rhett must have had something to do with Lucius' imprisonment.
