Under the heiress facade

Chapter 273

“Do you think this sounds like a contract killing?”

Hera looked up at Leon.

“Even if it’s not, it’s definitely some shady business,” Leon asserted confidently

Hera remained silent, mentally replaying the entire situation.

It all started with Isabella’s timed emall. Hera had double checked the email’s code and sender–it was sent only to her. Judging from the email’s contents, whatever was in the box mentioned by Isabella was enacial to the safety of her and her mother.

But when Hera rushed to Lensvale, she was too late. The item had already been taken. There were traces indicating it was removed shortly before her arrival.

This meant that the person who took it knew about it shortly after she received the email. Considering she had only sent it to Nathan, and Nathan had involved Stephen, there had to be a leak between them or perhaps a mole.

Secondly, if this memory card was in the box in the woods, Isabella must have known its contents. Yet now, the recording was incomplete.

At best, the recording suggested Queenie had some shady dealings with someone but without the parties involved to verify, its exact nature remained elusive.

Hera felt that at least the current situation wasn’t a dead end.
