Chapter 133
Hera nced up at Gideon. She was about to ask him how he knew about the situation when Gino
suddenly spoke up.
"Hera, my Terranish is pretty good. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime," Gino
offered.
Hera remained silent.
"Your Terranish proficiency is like a first-grader''s. It''s not even enough to teach at kindergarten,"
Gideon remarked.
He then turned to Hera and added, "I''ve already contacted a Jascilian tutor. They''ll drop by this
afternoon for your tutoring session."
Gino was surprised.
"Having money doesn''t make you great. When I have money, I can do the same!" he thought.
Hera replied calmly, "No need. I have to go out for a while. I won''t be back for lunch."

As the new week began, the academy forum was unusually active because the results of the Belle
& Hunk election were released.
Lily stayed up until midnight on Friday to see the results.
She felt relieved when she saw that Hera unsurprisingly topped the girls'' rankings. It wasn''t in vain
that she had spent the week pretending to support Hera and canvassing for votes.
Cindy came second, and Lily herself made it to tenth ce. She looked forward to personally
humiliating Hera and getting revenge for the embarrassment Hera had caused her.
The contestants were practicing theirnguage skills and speech techniques for the speech contest
on Friday at the academy''s theatre.
Observers on the forum refreshed it daily, monitoring who was putting in the effort and how their
chances of winning the title were improving.
Only Hera''s probability of winning the beauty title remained at 0% without any progress.
It was due to the fact that no one had seen her practicing, and some even imed she didn''t attend
sses regrly.
Consequently, those who had voted for Hera in the preliminary round began to question their initial
belief that Hera would turn over a new leaf.
Meanwhile, Hera was in theboratory,pletely focused on separating the Eclipse Stone.
The liquid in the vial containing the Eclipse Stone was highly toxic. Without careful handling, the
Eclipse Stone would turn into poison.
She had been in theboratory for ten days when she finally separated the Eclipse Stone. The next
step was pharmaceutical processing.
She logged into Raven''s ount and asked Piglet to locate some herbal medicines for her. When
she switched back to her private ount, she saw Bernard''s profile picture in her chat records.
It was time for his follow-up appointment, yet he hadn''t contacted her. Therefore, she decided to
message him first.
"Are you at Skyview Heights? I''lle overter for your follow-up."
Two hours passed, and he still didn''t reply, which made Hera feel uneasy. Bernard used to respond
to her messages quickly.
At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
She securely stored the Eclipse Stone, removed her gloves and protective clothing, and then
opened theboratory door to find Christopher waiting outside.
"Hello, Hera. I hope I''m not interrupting. I''vee to escort you to my house," Christopher said,
shing a bright smile.
Hera nodded faintly.
"Let''s go," she replied, locking theboratory door behind her.
She had promised Andrew the week before that she would visit Mary at the Ludden residence after
school that day.
They walked out of theboratory building side by side, and the Ludden family''s driver was already
waiting downstairs.
Lily witnessed Christopher gantly opening the car''s back door for Hera. She immediately jumped
to conclusions, thinking Hera was shameless for trying to seduce Christopher.
She promptly took several photos with her phone and anonymously posted them on the academy
forum.
"No more talk about Hera not putting effort into the speech contest. She just has her own unique
way," the caption read.
This news was like a bombshell, causing chaos on the forum.
