Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 724

The sky was dark, and it was drizzling over at the graveyard on the outskirts of Jedburgh. Hera was dressed entirely in black as she stood in front of a spotless tombstone. She stared at the photo on it quietly.

There was a bouquet of yellow roses by the tombstone, and its brilliant color made a stark contrast against the photo's dull colors. The woman in the photo wore a brilliant smile, and her name, Daphne Jones, was carved below

it.

Hera had found Daphne's murderer, but she couldn't bring herself to feel any semblance of joy, especially more so when she recalled what Lucius had said in prison. Resentment settled in her chest.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

The rain grew heavier and dampened her hair, but she felt none of it. At that moment, a big black umbrella shielded her from the rain. Then, someone put a coat with a lingering scent of cologne over her shoulders.

Hera blinked softly and turned around. What she saw was a handsome face that resembled Tyler's to some extent. However, the features looked different from Tyler's overly enchanting and flirtatious ones.

Although this man also bad fair skin, his eyes were brimming with a pureness that was free of the world's corruption. The man's lips curled into a bright smile.

Hera frowned slightly. What was he doing here? There was no one in the graveyard when she came. "Don't you remember me?" Harvey saw her frown and thought she had forgotten about him. He hurriedly introduced himself, "I'm Harvey Presgrave. You saved me."

"I remember that." Hera cast a glance past his shoulders. "Are you also here to visit a deceased?"

Harvey shook his head. "I can tell you, but you can't get mad about it. Actually, I secretly followed you here." Hera looked at him and realized he was still wearing the patient's gown from Silverleaf Hospital's inpatient department. Her frown grew deeper. "Are you sure you didn't escape from the hospital?"

Hera remembered that it wasn't time for him to be discharged.

"Not at all!" Harvey immediately denied it. "I'm taking a stroll with the permission of the nurse." It was just that he saw Hera in the middle of it and couldn't resist following her.

Hera was at a loss for words. Harvey had certainly chosen a long route in his stroll.

"You seem very sad to me. How about I give you a hand?" Harvey asked genuinely.

"It's okay. You should go back." Hera shifted her gaze back to the tombstone.

Harvey followed Hera's gaze and looked at the tombstone. He could see the engraved words clearly, but he couldn't make out the face in the photo.

with that said, Harvey had secretly looked into much of Hera's information. He knew of her connection to the Killian family.

"I can use the Presgrave family's resources and help you go toe-to-toe with the Killians!" Harvey said sincerely. Hera saved Harvey's life, and she was the only person who he could see clearly. So, she had to be the lady he was fated to be with. He would help her, even if it meant giving up everything the Presgrave family had.

Hera heard what he said, and her eyes flickered. An idea flashed in her eyes. Before she could voice it out, however, a man's cold voice cut her off.

"You won't have a part to play here." The man's chilly voice and the sound of two people's leather shoes stepping on the marble floor drew closer by the second.

"Who are you?" Harvey turned around and looked at the men approaching him. No matter how he strained his eyes, however, Bernard's furious face remained blurry to him.

"I'm her fiancé," Bernard said. He took a spare umbrella from Douglas. He opened it and pulled Hera over to his side.

Although Harvey couldn't make out Bernard's face, he wasn't unfamiliar with this name. There was simply too much public opinion about the two of them. Hera might have a fiancé, but that wouldn't stop him from treating her well.

"Let's go. It's time for your meds," Bernard checked his watch and said to Hera.

"Okay," Hera responded. Before she turned and left with Bernard, she said to Harvey, "Go back and look for Tyler if you want to help."

Harvey's eyes sparkled. He hurriedly nodded. "Sure!" Fiona kept reminding him that he had to be wary of Tyler so that Tyler couldn't take over the Presgrave family. If he could help Hera, however, he'd be happy to see Tyler.

Bernard saw it, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He let Douglas hold the umbrella and swooped Hera up before he stormed out of the graveyard.
