Chapter 185
"You can leave first," Hera said all of a sudden.
Shaun could tell that Hera had something to say to Queenie. "Alright. I''ll wait for you outside."

After that, he strode out of the detention facility hastily. It seemed that he truly despised the ce.
Kane had worked so hard to get Hera out of the cell. He was worried that she might change her
mind about leaving, so he shot Nathan a look as a hint for him to wait outside for Hera. Then, he
told Shaun to leave with him.
Once those two were gone, Hera was the only one left in the dark corridor. She stood before the
iron door while gazing at Queenie, who was the one trapped inside the cell this time. Her eyes were
cold and merciless.
Ironically enough, Queenie was the one harping Hera about spending her best years regretting her
choices in prison this morning. To think that their identities and positions would be swapped in the
afternoon…
"You think you can cripple me by doing this?" Queenie red at Hera ferociously.
Once the Gaskells bailed her out, she''d definitely destroy Hera. Also, she''d make sure to implicate
the entire Everett family as well.
"Well, you''ll get sentenced to a number of years in prison just bymitting the false usation
and bribery crimes, so I won''t be able to destroy you with those crimes. But what if you''re pinned
with another charge called premeditated murder?" Hera replied coolly.
Queenie''s arrogance dissipated instantly. A trace of shock crossed her malice-filled eyes. It might
be fleeting, but Hera still managed to capture it.
If one was charged with premeditated murder, they''d definitely be subjected to a death sentence in
Jadonia.
"Are you threatening me? That won''t work on me, you know!" Queenie snarled out in response.
"Who do you think murdered Isabe?" Hera dove into the topic right away.
Rage had flooded Queenie''s mind at that time, but the mention of Isabe''s death made her mind
go nk. That was how she managed to calm down.
She red at Hera warily without saying a word.
Didn''t she spend money to stop the news from getting spread around?
How the hell did Hera find out about Isabe''s death?
Queenie then recalled the way Kane and Shaun had backed Hera up earlier. Isabe''s case mustn''t
be reopened no matter what.
"Who on earth are you?" Queenie asked after a while.
Hera replied, "I''m here to piss you off."
Speechless, Queenie clenched her fists tightly. She was so angry that she didn''t even realize her
nails had dug into her palms.
Hera said the same thing she had said to Queeniest time.
Previously, right after Hera said that sentence, Queenie''s scandal was quickly leaked to the public.
As a result, the Gaskells were attacked by anonymous hackers, causing their stock prices to
plummet.
Back then, Queenie had hired someone to investigate Hera.
Hera''s information matched the rumors which had been swirling around the city. She was the
Everetts'' biological daughter who had spent most of her life in the countryside. There was nothing
ringly special in her information other than the fact that she looked gorgeous.
But now, Queenie''s opinion of Hera was starting to change.
"Also, did Robin really die in the ident he caused after drinking and driving?"
Hera''s tone was very soft at that time. She continued staring at Queenie calmly while saying, "You''ll
be sentenced to death once the Young family''s deaths are pinned on you. If you don''t want to get
framed for their deaths, I advise you to think it through before the court gives its verdict."
Queenie stared at Hera, who began making her way out of the detention facility, with shock in her
eyes. All color was drained from herplexion at that time.
Who on earth was Hera Youngworth? How did she know about what happened to the Young family
back then?
…
Once Hera walked out of the detention facility, she inhaled deeply, clearly relishing the fresh air.
Although Queenie''s case wasn''t enough to make an impact on the Gaskells'' influence in Norburgh,
it was enough to strike them where it hurt the most. The Gaskells would definitely do everything in
their power to bail Queenie out.
Hera brought Isabe and her family up in front of Queenie on purpose. Since she was already
exposed to the murderer, there was no need to hide the fact that she knew about the Young family''s
deaths anymore.
Queenie must have known about Isabe''s death too, but she might not necessarily be the
murderer.
Had Queenie chosen to kill Isabe and her mother just to shut them up for good, there was no
need for her to wait till this very moment to strike. Moreover, she was revealed to have gotten into a
conflict with both Isabe and her mother in the past.
If Queenie were to kill Isabe and her mother right after the conflict, she would undoubtedly be
screaming at the world that she was the murderer. This n had too many ws, which didn''t suit
Queenie''s perfectionism and meticulousness.
