Under the heiress facade

Meanwhile, Bernard arrived at the pet hospital based on the address Everly had provided. From the moment he entered, he heard Tiramisu's shrill screams. Everly, along with Luther Porter, the vet, and the nurses were huddled around the table, trying to find a way to lure Tiramisu out from underneath.

Tiramisu had a bad temper and was squealing fiercely. No matter what, it was unwilling to come out and had even bitten Luther's hand when he reached for Tiramisu. "Bernie!" Everly noticed Bernard's arrival and happily greeted him as if she had just seen her lifesaver.

Noticing how she had called him by his nickname, Bernard casually glanced at her.

Everlyn's heart skipped a beat upon meeting his gaze. Upon not seeing any sign of Hera behind him, she became secretly gleeful.

But she put on a frown and declared anxiously, "Tiramisu is hiding under the table and refuses to come out for a check-up. It has already kicked and bitten me and the vet."

While explaining, she showed the back of her hand that had turned red from Tiramisu's kicking to Bernard, who did not even look. Instead, he circled around her and walked toward the table where Tiramisu was hiding underneath. While hidden under the table, Tiramisu seemed to have smelled Bernard's familiar scent. Thus, its distressed squealing finally came to a stop.

Luther was a man in his 30s. For the past ten years of being a vet, he had never met such a tricky pet to handle. Upon noticing Bernard, he politely said, "Please be gentle when you coax it out for its check-up." Bernard nodded as Luther and the nurses immediately stepped aside.

Noticing Bernard's distinguished temperament, Luther believed that anyone who kept a pig for a pet probably had a warm heart underneath the stoic exterior. He would be extremely patient and gentle.

After all, a pig was nothing like a cat or dog that was easily affectionate with its owner. A pig could be quite temperamental and did not like to be held by others. It would scream, bite, and even kick the person who picked it up.

believed that he should learn from Bernard how to coax a pig to avoid such an awkward situation in the future. Everly looked at Bernard with admiration, also wanting
