Under the heiress facade

Roman, who had been bawling his eyes out, froze at Hera's words. His heart leaped into his throat.

Linda had sent all the bodyguards away before Roman pulled Xavier into the water. It was the perfect time to act.

He had taken action because Aurora said the drug she obtained from the backyard was for her baby. Hence, the Killian family was trying even harder to look into this to find out who the perpetrator was.

Roman felt guilty about it. Xavier had seen him talking to Linda before, so he feared that Xavier would tell others about it.

Roman wanted to give Xavier a warning, but he never expected Hera to appear out of the blue and ruin his plans.

Looking at how terrified Xavier was at the moment, Roman felt a sense of pleasure. However, his glee was short-lived because Hera had started questioning him, and he started to fret.

"I-I didn't!" Roman stammered, frightened at how cold and hostile Hera was.
