Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 735

Hera, Bernard, Samantha, Thiago, and a few other friends were having a gathering in a private room at a barbecue restaurant.

"Let's celebrate Hera's discharge from the hospital. Cheers! Samantha stood up, raising her glass.

Although Hera had been out of the hospital for a few days, everyone had been busy with their work, and tonight was finally an opportunity to gather.

Everyone raised their glasses with Hera raising her glass of juice. After finishing their drinks, they all settled back into their seats.

"Eat as much as you want tonight. I'm treating, and nobody's allowed to fight me for the bill," Samantha declared.

Nicholas scoffed. 'Fight for the bill? My family owns this barbecue restaurant. So, tonight's meal is on the house."

"No way! I feel uncomfortable if I don't pay when I eat out. This bill has to be on me!" Samantha insisted. "Fine, no one's fighting you on that," Hera chimed in, knowing that Samantha couldn't stand not paying for meals. If they continued arguing, she might just end up buying dinner for every guest in the restaurant. "Hera knows me best." Samantha laughed.

Hera poured herself a glass of water and raised it solemnly. "Thank you all for your help. I'm not good with alcohol, so I'll toast you all with water instead."

It was rare for her to be so formal, and everyone was surprised.

The first to recover was Thiago. "Oh, come on, Hera. You don't have to be so formal with us! It was nothing. My efforts could never compare to what you helped me out with before."

"It might have been nothing for Thiago, but not for me!' Nicholas seized the opportunity. "I was at your beck and call and made sure Roman Killian behaved. I put in a lot of effort. So, you have to repay me!"

He paused for a moment. "How about you become my doctor? You'll have to be on call whenever I need you!" "You wish! That was just grunt work. Tyler, on the other hand, did the real heavy lifting by stealing Killian Corporation's design and using it for himself. He's so busy that he can't even join us for dinner,' Thiago retorted.

Nicholas cursed, "What did Tyler offer you to get you to take his side?"

"Enough, stop arguing! Bernard here did more than all of you, and you don't hear him boasting." Samantha interjected.

The quarrel grew even more heated

Meanwhile, Bernard remained unusually quiet beside Hera. Under the table, he reached out and held Hera's hand. No matter how much they argued, Hera was his alone.novelbin

As they bantered, the waiter brought in plates of beef and lamb.

When Hera saw the plates of meat, she suddenly recalled Linda's bloody scene a few days ago, and a wave of nausea hit her.

The lively atmosphere came to an abrupt halt, and everyone's eyes turned to Hera, who quickly covered her mouth with a tissue and hurried off to the restroom. Even Bernard paused, his mind racing with thoughts. Hera used to love steak. Why would the sight of beef make her feel sick? Could it be...

A possibility flashed through his mind. He immediately put down his cutlery and followed her to the

restroom.

After he left, the remaining people exchanged glances.

"Hera gagged at the sight of meat! Could she be pregnant?" Samantha gasped.
