Under the heiress facade

Chapter 718

"Why?" Hera was perplexed. She didn't believe Bernard when he told her that.

To Hera, Lucius was wrongly accused. Why would he not want his name to be cleared?

If he didn't want to have his name cleared, why was Daphne murdered by Linda for helping him collect evidence? Hera was confused that Lucius was telling her to stop the investigation. She even suspected whether Bernard had threatened him into saying so.

However, she had observed before entering the room earlier. There was no surveillance camera on the wall.

"Is it because of Bernard? Did he tell you not to say anything? Is he the murderer?" Hera couldn't help but inquire. Lucius realized she had misunderstood the situation and began to explain, "No. This has nothing to do with him." Hera was secretly relieved after Lucius personally confirmed that Bernard had nothing to do with what happened that year.

But if this had nothing to do with Bernard, why did he forbid her to continue investigating? She wondered if he was trying to protect the murderer.

"Why?" Hera frowned.
