Chapter 167


    "Of course! Why else would Dean Ludden personally deal with the situation, if not to back the filthy


    bitch up?"


    Yana was very confident that Hera had seduced Andrew.


    Hera had stirred up a ruckus at the Gaskells'' family banquet in the past, resulting in them bing


    aughingstock in the upper echelons. Also, their reputation had been endangered since that


    incident.


    Queenie was furious at Hera because of that incident. Of course, it was only natural for her to hate


    Hera to the core.


    Now, all Yana had to do was invoke Queenie''s wrath directed at Hera. That way, she''d be


    Yana''s ally in dealing with Hera. Things would definitely be a lot easier after that.


    "And here I was, thinking about how to destroy that brat once and for all! To think that her


    scandalous weakness is presented to me on a silver tter!" Queenie snarled out, her eyes


    narrowing slightly.


    "This time, she has nowhere to escape," Zyler muttered under his breath while clenching his fists


    tightly.


    He had been worrying about how to expose Hera''s true colors so that he could patch his friendship


    with Christopher in order to secure a spot on the guaranteed admission list. Now, that chance had


    arrived.


    "Zyler, since you and Christopher are such close friends, can you help put in a good word for me in


    front of him so that I can return to Cavenridge as a student? I promise, once I''m re-enrolled into the


    academy, I''ll definitely study hard instead of picking fights with others!" Eugene requested eagerly.


    "Precisely. Zyler, you and Mr. Ludden are good friends, aren''t you? Can you speak up for Eugene?


    My sweet Eugene can''t leave Cavenridge, you see," Yana pleaded as well.


    This was the purpose behind their visit.


    After Eugene got expelled from Cavenridge International Academy, the other elite academies


    refused to take him in as their student. On the other hand, Eugene''s grades were so poor that he


    could barely qualify for public schools. Then again, he felt that studying in a public school was


    humiliating, so he didn''t want to enroll in any of them.


    "Um…" Zyler looked a little troubled.


    The thing was, he never told anyone that Christopher no longer wanted to remain as his friend. That


    was because he was confident that Christopher would soon make up with him. To him, there was no


    need to tell anyone about the incident, lest othersughed at him instead.


    "This isn''t a problem at all. Zyler can bring it up to Christopher the next time they meet. Just wait


    patiently for his good news."


    While Zyler was racking his brain on how to refuse Yana and Eugene politely, Queenie agreed to


    help them out on his behalf.


    Naturally, Zyler didn''t know what to say.


    Yana was ted, to say the least. "Thank you, Queenie and Zyler!"


    "Thank you, Zyler!" Eugene piped up excitedly. "My mom told me that Cavenridge will be given two


    slots in Vardhar University''s guaranteed admission list! One of them is definitely yours! She even


    told me to study hard like you, so that I can get into Vardhar University in the future!"


    "Ahaha… You''re wee…" Zyler smiled awkwardly.


    He was even more bent on exposing Hera''s true colors and patching up his friendship with


    Christopher. If not, he''d be reduced to aughingstock among the elite families.


    …

    On Monday morning, Hera finished her breakfast and got ready to go to school. That was when


    Bernard wheeled himself out of the room.


    "I''ll take you there," he offered.


    Hera nced at him. A pair of gold-rimmed sses was perched on his nose bridge, thus


    entuating his wlessly gorgeous features. His short hair was styled with hair gel, and his


    appearance waspleted with a ck suit, which brought out his figure. A gray checkered woolen


    quilt rested on hisp to ensure hisfort.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Bernard was seated in his wheelchair, Hera would''ve thought that he


    was nning to show up at a red carpet event.


    Also, Bernard was still confined to his wheelchair. Was he really taking her to school? Or was she


    expected to wheel him there?


    "It so happens that I need to visit Cavenbridge as well. I need to deal with something there,"


    Bernard exined as though he could sense what Hera was thinking at the moment.


    His injuries had significantly healed after his two-day recuperation. So, Hera didn''t restrict him from


    leaving home. She just acquiesced to his request to go to the academy with her.


    Both of them left the apartment after that. The moment they reached the gateway of the residential


    area, they spotted a yellow Ferrari parking right outside. Christopher stood next to the car while


    gazing into the residential area.


    He visibly lit up when he saw Hera. Then, he raised an arm to wave at her. "Hera!"


    But when he saw Bernard, his smile faded away slightly.


    It seemed that Hera and Bernard really were living together.


    After Christopher drove Hera back to the residential area on Friday night, he had witnessed her and


    Bernard walking into the area together. He even waited at the gateway till midnight after that, yet he


    never saw Hera exiting the residential area.


    Christopher wasn''t sure what rtionship Hera and Bernard shared, but he subconsciously leaned


    more toward the possibility of them being rtives. He guessed that Hera had to stay with Bernard


    to care for him, seeing as he was injured.


    "Why are you here?" Hera asked coolly.
