Chapter 2
Hera felt completely stunned.
All of a sudden, the sound of an approaching aircraft grew louder. Bernard’s backup had arrived.
Hera looked up and saw a helicopter hovering above. The helicopter’s door slid open, and a ladder lowered down. A man dressed in camouflage, similar to Bernard’s attire, descended from above.
Hera swiftly dashed away.
Bernard pushed himself up, his eyes following her disappearing figure. With a pleased grin, he mumbled, “So, you were hiding here. I’ll be back for you.”

At the foot of the mountain, two sleek black BMWs were parked in front of a rundown house. The yard was bustling with curious bystanders.
In the living room, Catherine welcomed the Everetts, who had arrived from the city.
James Everett, Lilith Cresswell, and their daughter, Giselle Everett, who had been mistakenly taken at birth and raised by them, were here.
The three’s impeccable attire clashed sharply with the shabby state of the living room.
Giselle scowled at the worn cup before her, feeling a wave of repulsion. She glanced around the living room, taking in the peeling paint on the walls and the chaotic mess of herbs scattered across the floor.

Giselle clung to James’ arm, looking upset. “Dad, it’s sweltering in here. Does Hera not want to see me because she thinks I stole her parents?”
“What are you talking about? It wasn’t your fault to be mistakenly taken at birth. Why would she blame you?” James snapped.
