Under the heiress facade

Chapter 717

Since the CT and MRI scan results wouldn't be out any time soon, Hera went to the washroom to change out of her hospital gown. She seemed rather youthful after wearing a set of white casual workout clothes and tying her hair in a ponytail.

"When are we leaving?" she asked while exiting the washroom.

Bernard checked the text he received from Samson. "Let's go now."

Two hours later, a black car arrived at Jedburgh Prison. The prison warden, Duncan Pratt, came out to personally welcome the visitors with two other employees.

Duncan noticed that Samson, the assistant of the grandmaster of Astral Nova, had personally driven Bernard and Hera to the prison. In fact, Samson even personally opened the car door for them. That meant that Bernard and Hera were not ordinary visitors.

Duncan hurried forward to greet them, "Mr. Shaft, Mr. Killian, Ms. Youngworth."

Samson nodded. "Is everything in order?"

"Mr. Lucius is already waiting in the visitation room. Please come with me," Duncan said while leading the way.

The three of them followed Duncan through the winding corridors before finally arriving at the visitation room. Perhaps Bernard had called ahead to inform Duncan of their arrival, so the room wasn't the typical visitation room in a prison.
