He wouldn't be able to do anything to the Gaskells at all.

"Thank you," Hera replied coolly before exiting the office At the stime, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Mr. Annoying. Your family still owesa favor. It's tforto cash it in." Heca ended the call sometlater 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.

Heta glanced at him coolly before replying, "Yeah." After the meeting, Gideon decided to leave the company. He scrolled through Instagram while waiting for the elevator to arrive.

That was when he saw Gino's latest post, which was posted at noon. "I've decided to forgive her, seeing as she has specifically broughta gift." The image that cwith the caption showed two bars of chocolate.

"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 playing on her phone in the back seat when she saw a Whatnotification pop up. After tapping on it, she saw Gideon's screenshot and message.

She fell silent at the message.

The chocolate bars were meant to coax Bernard into taking his medicine in the first place. That was why she had extra chocolate bars lying around in her pocket.

After that, Gideonsent Hera another photo. It was a photo of his left hand with his sleeve rolled up to reveal his wrist. His skin was particularly 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 givea present last time!" Hera didn't know what to reply.

That wasn't a gift at all. It was just a plece 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 accessories.

So, she said to the driver, "Pullover for a bit." After the driver stopped the car, he took a photo of Hera walking into the outlet before sending it to Berard

"Ms. Youngworth has left the police station. We were on the way hwhen 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 brought project files that Theo had him when he noticed his phone screen lighting up. He tapped on the phone to glance at it momentarily before closing the files. "I want you to amend the proposal later. That's all for today. Restore the living room to the way it was before you leave." Theo and Douglas exchanged knowing glances with each other.

That meant Hera was coming hsoon.

Our of them wheeled Beard back to his room while the other tidied up the living room swiftly. After that, both of them hurriedly left.

Bernard lay 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.
