Chapter 164


    Hera paused in her actions of opening the door and leaving the room upon hearing Nathan''s


    statement.


    Nathan continued, "Robin used to work as the Gaskells'' driver prior to the ident."


    He wanted to continue investigating Daphne''s case, but at the end of the day, he was just a public


    servant of the bureaucratic system. He wouldn''t be able to do anything to the Gaskells at all.


    "Thank you," Hera replied coolly before exiting the office.


    At the same time, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.


    "Hey, Mr. Annoying. Your family still owes me a favor. It''s time for me to cash it in."


    Hera ended the call sometimeter and walked out of the police station. The driver stopped the car


    in front of her before getting out to open the back seat''s door for her.


    "Ms. Youngworth, are you returning to Skyview Heights now?" he asked.


    Hera nced at him coolly before replying, "Yeah."


    …


    After the meeting, Gideon decided to leave thepany. He scrolled through Instagram while


    waiting for the elevator to arrive.


    That was when he saw Gino''stest post, which was posted at noon. "I''ve decided to forgive her,


    seeing as she has specifically brought me a gift."


    The image that came with the caption showed two bars of chocte.


    "How childish," Gideon muttered under his breath. Then, he snapped a screenshot of the post


    before sending it to Hera.


    He texted, "You can''t just show affection to your younger brother. You need to shower your older


    brother with love too."


    There was a pitiful emoji pasted at the end of the message.


    Meanwhile, Hera was ying on her phone in the back seat when she saw a WhatsApp notification


    pop up. After tapping on it, she saw Gideon''s screenshot and message.


    She fell silent at the message.


    The chocte bars were meant to coax Bernard into taking his medicine in the first ce. That was


    why she had extra chocte bars lying around in her pocket.


    After that, Gideon sent Hera another photo. It was a photo of his left hand with his sleeve rolled up


    to reveal his wrist. His skin was particrly fair and smooth.


    Hera texted back, "What?"


    Gideon didn''t hesitate to bombard her with more texts.


    "Don''t you think my wrist is quite bare? You didn''t even give me a presentst time!"


    Hera didn''t know what to reply.


    That wasn''t a gift at all. It was just a piece of red string that she didn''t want.


    Coincidentally, the car sped past a shopping mall. Hera happened to see a branded outlet selling


    men''s essories.


    So, she said to the driver, "Pull over for a bit."


    After the driver stopped the car, he took a photo of Hera walking into the outlet before sending it to


    Bernard.


    "Ms. Youngworth has left the police station. We were on the way home when she decided to go


    shopping. It''ll take us half an hour to return to Skyview Heights," he texted.


    Back in Skyview Heights, Bernard was in the midst of going through the project files that Theo had


    brought him when he noticed his phone screen lighting up. He tapped on the phone to nce at it


    momentarily before closing the files.


    "I want you to amend the proposalter. That''s all for today. Restore the living room to the way it


    was before you leave."

    Theo and Dous exchanged knowing nces with each other.


    That meant Hera wasing home soon.


    One of them wheeled Bernard back to his room while the other tidied up the living room swiftly. After


    that, both of them hurriedly left.


    Bernardy on the bed leisurely while zooming into the photo the driver had just sent him. When he


    noticed the outlet, he couldn''t help but smile.


    He wondered what sort of gift Hera would pick out for him.
