It shouldn't have been a big deal if it were someone else. However, Hera was famous in Jedburgh and Bernard's girlfriend.
The way Hera was being treated was simply too much.
The sheer thought of it made Thiago angry. "Are you motherfucking kidding—"
Hera stopped him. "Forget it. I won't go in there."
"Fine. If you won't, I won't either. If you weren't coming, I wouldn't have come either. What's so special about this place anyways?" He tore the invitation card right in front of the security guard in a fit of pique.
Completely stunned, the guard watched them leave.
Hera didn't respond the way he thought she would!
Shouldn't she make a fuss about this like Priscilla would have?
If Hera had done that, he could've acted as Linda told him to, calling everyone over to see how rude Hera was.
But Hera decided not to go inside! Why?
He was completely thrown off and quickly contacted Linda, who had watched the whole process through the surveillance camera.
Her expression was as dark as the dress Hera wore.
"Don't mind her. She won't leave." Linda was confident.
Hera had ganged up with Stephen to capture Linda, so Linda was confident that Hera wouldn't leave without achieving her objective.
Linda decided to wait for Hera to come back and beg shamelessly to enter the place.
Nicholas and his father got out of the car at the gates. That was when they saw Hera and Thiago, who were about to leave.
"Ms. Youngworth," Geoffrey approached them warmly.
