Under the heiress facade

Linda initially wanted to help Roman put the blame on Hera. It never crossed her mind that Hera would be able to turn the tables with just a few sentences. Not only did Linda fail to aid Roman, but she also made others suspicious of her. Thus, she had to make Roman take the spotlight back from her.

"Roman, how could you chuck mud into Xavier's mouth?" Linda chided.

Roman was taken by surprise. "I-I was fooling around with him. I never thought we'd fall into the water."

"Oh really?" Hera let out a bark of laughter. "What a coincidence. I was fooling around with you too just now."

Linda and Roman had always thought that Xavier was an idiot, so they made life miserable for him. Despite that, Xavier never responded to their snide remarks and horrible treatment.

Hera couldn't help but admire him for his endurance. She pitied him too.

Had he been living with the Killians like this all these years?

Roman shuddered when he heard Hera's words. How was that considered "fooling around"? He almost died!
