Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 436

Hera was flabbergasted by the timing as she had just gotten started. No matter how quick she was, she would need at least ten minutes to do everything.

"I've already left Astral Nova, and I'm currently at a coffee shop by the mall. Why don't you come over and meet me here?" With that said, she ended the call.

Her slender fingers flew quickly across the keyboard. The sound of typing had attracted the admiration of a young man beside her. He couldn't help himself and took out his phone to record her.

Hera took control of Leon's desktop and screened through his codes. Then, she immediately sent those hackers a virus, forcing them to stop with their attacks.

She integrated a simple trap by their firewall to prevent bad people with bad intentions from hacking into their website again.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Once everything was done, she sent Leon a message.

It wrote, "Don't just put all of your focus into dating. You might as well study and improve if you have the time. At this rate, even my little brother will be able to surpass you."

Leon replied, "What? Do you mean your biological younger brother? Since when did he start learning hacking?"

Hera didn't have the time to reply to him after she looked at the time. Fifteen minutes had passed, and Bernard had probably arrived.

She revoked her access to control his desktop and saw the young man filming her through the reflection of her screen. She immediately typed a line of codes on her keyboard.

The young man had been engrossed in watching her code when his screen suddenly blacked out.

The young man was stunned. But after fiddling with it, he realized his phone had just turned off.

When he turned his phone back on and scrolled through his videos, he realized that the video he had just taken had disappeared.

Logically, the video should have been saved automatically. But even if it hadn't been saved, there should be a record of it in his trash.

Suddenly, he realized that Hera was probably the one behind it. But Hera had already exited the page, deleted all her records, unplugged her USB flash drive, and left the cybercafe.

Hera had just left the cybercafe and was about to head to the cafe when she heard a familiar voice call out to her.

"Sweetie."

She paused and turned around, only to see Bernard walking toward her.

Bernard was dressed in a black suit jacket, a white buttoned up, and a gray tie. He was dressed very formally while he held a document bag in his hand. He looked like a professional who had just finished a meeting.

There was also an undisguisable sense of elegance in the air around him, making him seem perpetually out of reach.

Hera suddenly felt a little guilty. "Bernie"

"Why are you here?" Bernard asked as he purposely glanced at the cybercafe behind her.

Hera was just about to come up with an excuse when the young man from just now came up to her.

"Hello, you were so good just now. Can I have your number? I'm also currently learning how to hack!" The young man lifted his phone as he looked at Hera expectantly.

The young man was much taller than Hera, but he looked very young. He didn't seem to be over 15 or 16 years old.

Hera did not expect the young man to chase after her. She glanced at Bernard guiltily.

Based on her understanding of Bernard, he would probably assume that the young man was just spewing nonsense in order to hit her up.

However, Bernard looked amused as he asked, "Oh? How amazing was she?"

"She-"

"It was just some basic Python programming. It's all written in the books." Hera quickly interrupted the young man from speaking.

The young man froze. Although he was a beginner, he could tell that what Hera did was absolutely amazing.

"I already have a boyfriend, so I won't be able to give you my number." With that said, Hera held Bernard's arm and pulled him away, pretending that the young man was just trying to hit her up.

Bernard looked down at Hera. He couldn't help but smile after seeing her acknowledge their relationship so openly. He took her hand, which was linked with his arm, and held it tightly.

"No, I just wanted to-"The young man was about to follow them to explain himself.

However, Bernard looked back and glared at him coldly. His cold glare caused the young man to tremble as he froze in his tracks.

Hera noticed that the young man did not chase after her. She was about to sigh in relief when she heard Bernard ask her a question.
