Under the Heiress' Facade

Camille had tried looking for Bernard, but he was avoiding her completely.

He blocked her number and ignored her on WhatsApp. She even pretended to have urgent matters and to look for him at the Killian residence, but he refused to meet her. "Oh, by the way, Camille, where's your Eclipse Stone? When are you going to show it to me?" Priscilla asked.

Camille hadn't expected Priscilla to bring up the Eclipse Stone suddenly.

She hesitated, "I..."

"It's also our family's treasure now. The Killian family is curious, too. Why not bring it out and show everyone to showcase the pinnacle of our family's medical skills?"

Camille suddenly had an idea.

"Grandma, I want to show you, but I've already used it."

"To make a special medicine?" Priscilla asked.

"I've seen many netizens discussing your published papers. They speculate that your special medication is formulated using the Eclipse Stone, hence its miraculous effects."

Camille went along.

"That's right."

Wilson arrived with the first batch of the newly produced special medication just then.

Priscilla looked at the pills in delicate transparent glass bottles and praised, "Excellent, excellent! Send these for testing quickly and get them on the market soon. We can't let Youngworth Miracle Clinic steal our limelight in Jedburgh!"

Wilson nodded.

"Yes, ma'am."

Night fell.

Hera returned to the Youngworth Miracle Clinic after seeing off all the guests.

In the study of the west wing, she tested the function of the clinic's new online application. Just then, a WhatsApp message came through.

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: "The Chimes' first batch of special medication is out. Have you confirmed the auction time?"

Hera had been busy during the day with the clinic and practicing her alternate account in the evenings. She had little time to deal with Camille's affairs.

She glanced at her calendar. There would be an auction at Astral Nova the following night.

Shadow: "Are you up for something thrilling?"

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: "What do you mean?"

Shadow: "Aren't you tired of seeing my photos? I'll show you my true self tomorrow night at Astral Nova."

Bernard stepped into the courtyard house and smiled as he glanced at the conversation on his phone.

He wondered if Hera would finally reveal her true identity to him.

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: "Okay."

In the study, after Hera received the reply, she heard a noise in the courtyard. She immediately exited WhatsApp and headed out to inspect the noise, only to see Bernard. "Bernard, are you free tomorrow night?"

She approached him.

Bernard pocketed his phone.

"Why?"

"There's something I need to tell you."

After saying that, Hera cleared her throat awkwardly.

"Remember those photos I asked from you before?"

Bernard suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What about them?"

"I used those photos to exchange for some precious medicinal ingredients for you. Now that person wants to meet you in person. Will you come with me tomorrow night to meet him?" Hera asked. Bernard was rendered speechless.
