"I'll never forget that!" Hera's gaze was cold and resolute.

Catherine knew Hera was stubborn. Once her mind was set, there was no changing it.

Hera lowered her eyes and continued, "And it's not just that. I'm in a relationship with Bernard now." "What?" Catherine was first shocked, then furious.

"Why on earth would you get involved with him?" Although Catherine hadn't interacted much with Bernard, she knew enough about him. When he first returned to the Killian family, he had stabbed four housekeepers within a month.

He was filled with hostility and suspicion, but his menacing presence still evoked sympathy. The last tshe saw him was at the Everett residence.

He was grown up, but his cold, intimidating air remained. With his powerful position and ruthless nature, a person like him was dangerous to provoke.

"He seducedfirst," Hera said.

Catherine was bewildered. She pictured Bernard's icy face. She couldn't deny that Hera was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy descended to earth. She also couldn't deny her own age, but she wasn't senile. That cold, unapproachable man had seduced someone first? Impossible.

"You see, without you by my side, I couldn't resist the temptation," Hera added.

"Don't try to fool me!" Catherine snapped, not believing a word.

She was sure Hera was making up stories just to get her to travel to Jedburgh.

Hera remained silent.

"I'm not going anywhere. I will stay here, so stop trying to persuade me." Hera said, unfazed, "Giselle betrayed you this time. What about next time? How many lives do you have to lose?" After a long silence, Catherine replied, "There won't be a next time. She now knows her father is the sixth son of the Killian family." Hera dwelled on her thoughts. She knew Catherine couldn't keep this secret from Giselle forever. She just hadn't expected Giselle to find out so soon.

Recalling the loan sharks, Hera understood that it wasn't just debt they were after but blood. She felt it was impossible for her to leave Catherine alone now. "Since Giselle now knows the truth, the Killian family will soon know you're still alive. Whether you want to leave or not, you have to unless you want to die!" Hera continued, "You have two choices. You can pack up and cwith me, or I'll pack for you and take you back." In other words, Hera would force her if necessary.

Catherine knew Hera wouldn't harm her, but she also knew Hera was serious about taking her back if left with no other option. She understood Hera's point. Giselle had been digging for information about her parents and was bound to go to the Killian family to claim kinship.

Whether she succeeded or not, their being alive would be exposed. Hera and Catherine had been hiding for over a decade, but they couldn't hide forever.

Reluctantly, Catherine agreed.

"Fine. I'll go back with you. But you must promisethat no matter what happens, you won't confront the Killian family directly."

The Killian family was immensely influential. With Daphne dead and Lucius wrongfully imprisoned, she didn't want anything to happen to Hera. Hera breathed a sigh of relief when Catherine agreed.

"Okay."

Hera then helped Catherine lay to rest and left her to straighten out the e living room. Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW "Waming* these rich women will persue you.
