Under the Heiress' Facade

Bernard would be furious if Hera became injured. The maids would be dead before they knew it.

"Why are you so quick to judge me as guilty?" Hera snorted while staring at Linda.

She continued, "Do you not want me to help her keep her baby? Or is there something you feel guilty about, and you're desperately looking for someone to take the blame?"

"You!" Having her true colors exposed, Linda faltered momentarily on the spot. But she quickly brushed aside her guilty conscience and argued with Hera.

"You're just trying to deceive us! The Killian residence is heavily guarded, and the maids are definitely well-trained. Who else would have the nerve to mess with Ms. Killian's medicine? If not you, who else could it be?" Hera chuckled. "So what if someone swapped out the medicine? Wasn't Mr. Greg murdered at the Killian residence?"

As soon as she said those words, the room fell silent immediately. Karen's expression darkened while staring at Hera.

The maids dared not to even breathe. Those who had worked for the Killians for a long time knew that Greg was considered a taboo subject at the Killian residence.

The Killian family maintained a positive reputation, but that changed after Albert's death 12 years ago.

Albert's sons fought tooth and nail to become the head of the family. Greg's murder and Lucius being sent to prison became an ugly scandal for the Killian family.

After Chad became the family patriarch, he once accidentally overheard two female cousins gossiping about Greg and expelled them from the Killian residence right away. From that day on, no one dared to bring up Greg. Hera had been so blunt about the matter. Clearly, she was provoking the Killians.

Linda glared at Hera with narrowed eyes. So, she was here to cause trouble for what happened that year.

"The medicine is ready." Catherine

Win with the medicine,

breaking the silence. Hera gazed at her, who shook her head gently, indicating for her to not be so rash.

Whenever they brought up Lucius' wrongful conviction back then and Daphne's death while investigating his case, Hera would inevitably become emotional.

However, she had no proof now, so arguing would be futile. She held back her emotions and returned to her usual calm demeanor.

Instead, Hera said to Karen, "The medicine on the table can be sent for testing. If you still want me to help her keep her baby, all of you need to leave."

Karen stared at Hera, seeming somewhat doubtful. She would have trusted Hera if she did not bring up Greg. But the mention of him made her uneasy. What was Hera's motive for returning to the Killian residence?

"Mom, all of you quickly leave!" Aurora begged while pushing Karen away. She was afraid that she would miscarry if the treatment was delayed any further.

"Let's all go to the living room so that we don't disturb Aury," Karen finally said, She stood up to lead everyone out. Before that, she requested Talia to send the

medicine placed on the table for

testing.

After Catherine set the medicine down, Hera asked her to go out as well. Soon, only Hera and Aurora remained in the room.

Hera smirked upon seeing how

Aurora's face had paled from the pain, seeming almost like she was about to collapse. She had intentionally agitated her earlier to lure everyone else in.

Someone wanted Aurora to miscarry and even wanted Hera to take the fall for the incident, but she wasn't having any of it. Since the culprit wanted to play dirty, Hera might as well do the same and find a way to expose the person behind the incident.

"Can you actually help me keep my baby?" Aurora noticed the inscrutable smile playing on Hera's lips and felt a chill run down her back.

After the ordeal, Aurora's emotions had been going through many ups and downs like a rollercoaster. She was about to break down, but that was exactly what Hera wanted.
