Chapter 101 "No. You're an Everett, not a Killian. This isn't a scene out of a forbidden love . You're free to date whoever you want." Samantha held Hera's phone. Her unique blue eyes blinked with curiosity as she pouted her rosy lips.

"Con. Showhis picture. I want to see the guy who's got my little angel head over heels." Samantha appeared as lovely as her nsuggested, with cascading waves of light brown hair framing her face.

Her high nose bridge gave her a distinct Eranian appearance, further accentuating her sapphire-like blue eyes. She resembled a porcelain doll straight out of a display window, it would be difficult for anyone to refuse a request from someone as adorable as her.

"No, you're wrong. It's not happening" "why not? From what you're saying, it sounds like he's really into you." Samantha looked puzzled.

"You're not trying to use 'I don't want to date yet" as a lexcuse, are you? Hera pondered Samantha's words. She recalled the numerous occasions when Bernard overstepped boundaries before. She didn't know if he was genuinely interested in her or was simply messing with her.

Until she uncovered the truth behind Luctus' framing and Daphne's murder, suspicion loomed over every member of the Killian family.

At Hera's silence, Samantha continued, "If you don't ke him, why do you care about his well-being? "Besides treating his illness, you also plan to attend tonight's auction to bid on the Eclipse Stone for him. Do you realize how many people are vying for it tonight?" "I'm simply honoring our initial agreement," Hera defended herself "Are you certain about that?" Samanthaeyed her skeptically.

Hera replied impassively, "Without a doubt" At that moment, her phone chimed with a Whatmessage. She glanced at it to find Bernard's profile picture and immediately tapped on it.
