The PayPal alert continued.

"You've received 11111.11 dollars.

"You've received 22222.22 dollars.

"You've received 33333.33 dollars." Hera texted Bernard, "Has your PayPal been hacked?" The transfers kept coming in, and the amounts were growing more significant.

She immediately called him.

"What are you doing?" "Are you short on cash?" Bernard asked nonchalantly.

"Not really." Hera didn't detect the hidden meaning in his words.

She used to be quite short on cash, but she wasn't worried about money now since she received a 30-million- dollar check from the Ludden family before the New Year and over five million dollars of pocket money from Bernard.

"Then why did you take money from another man?" There was a hint of jealousy in Bernard's voice.

Hera glanced at the stack of cash on the table and finally caught on.

It turned out that Bernard was jealous.

"Hah! He'll earn money to support all of you? Are you withjust because you think I'm hot?" As she listened to his sarcastic words, Hera suddenly wondered if Bernard had been a queen in a past life.

She considered his looks and physique and thought that he was indeed tempting for a looks-oriented woman like her.

Playing along with him, she asked, "What kind of explanation do you want?" "I want to know why you're not using the card I gave you but are instead spending other men's money." Hera had no comeback.

She didn't expect Bernard to hold a grudge for so long. She had refused the limitless gold card he had given her earlier.

She wondered if using his card would mean letting him know where she spent the money.

"Do you know what you sound like right now?" she suddenly asked.

"What?" "Like a jealous queen causing a scene for no reason." Bernard was speechless for a moment.

"So, how will you make it up to me?" Hera ended the call, opened WhatsApp, and sent him a string of numbers and a location.

"I've sent you the address and gate code." Bernard's jealousy instantly dissipated. He chuckled softly.

"Wait for me." The next day, Bernard emerged from Hera's room just as Catherine and Everly returned from grocery shopping.

Stunned, Catherine assessed him instinctively.

He wore a tailored white shirt and black trousers, with his shirt collar open. Despite wearing slippers, he exuded an air of refinement mixed with casualness. It didn't seem like he had just arrived. Suddenly, Catherine remembered Hera mentioning she was dating Bernard. Her whole body tensed. Everly was also started by the sudden presence of a stranger in the house.

"W-Who are you? What are you doing here?"

She was about to accuse him of being a thief, but he was sooutrageously good-looking and had such an extraordinary presence that he didn't look like a thief at all. Bernard gave Everly a cool glance, which caused her to shiver. She immediately lowered her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.

It was a primal fear in the face of strength.

Bernard's gaze finally settled on Catherine. He nodded in greeting then walked straight toward the kitchen fridge as if he owned the place. "Mrs. Jones, who..." Everly's voice brought Catherine back to her senses.
