Under the heiress facade

Hera immediately picked up the shirt Bernard had cast on the floor and draped it on him. But the shirt fell off his body as he undid the belt around his waist.

Hera could only wrap her arms around Bernard to stop him from stripping any further.

"Bernard, let's talk about this. Don't be so fierce, okay?" She softened her voice, trying to negotiate.

Her gentle voice seemed to calm him down, but he remained stern. "Have you figured out who you are?"

Hera's heart skipped a beat. She wondered if Bernard had discovered her identity as Raven and felt that she was mocking him whenever she talked about her learning programming.

But she had been using her alternate account during this period instead of Raven. There was no way he could have found out.

"I'm Dr. Shadow, right?" she asked tentatively.

But that wasn't the answer Bernard was looking for. His eyes darkened, and the atmosphere in the bedroom seemed to turn tense as well.

Hera noticed this and wrapped her arms around Bernard's neck. She was about to bend her fingers to touch the acupuncture points that would make him faint when he suddenly grabbed hold of her hands.

"Sweetie, you're not thinking properly. But what are your sneaky hands up to?" Bernard narrowed his eyes while asking. His voice was soft and gentle, yet rather threatening.
