Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 741

Seeing that Chad didn't utter a word, Desmond continued, "With my status, even if I manage to track down the grandmaster of Astral Nova, I'm underqualified to negotiate terms with him."

Forget about Desmond, even Chad had only met the previous grandmaster of Astral Nova several times. On top of that, Chad hadn't seen the current grandmaster before!

Chad understood well that Desmond intended to push him to take action because they had no other option. "Let me know once you track him down."

Desmond's eyes lit up. "Yes, sir! I'll let you know as soon as I receive any updates."

There was still hope for Rhett!

"Go now." Chad waved him off.

Bernard and Hera returned to the western wing of the courtyard house. His burning gaze never left her, and he could barely hide the excitement in his deep voice. "Are you going to join XS Corporation?"

"Would you welcome me there?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Very much so." He asked mysteriously, "Have you not realized yet?"

"Realize what?" She couldn't follow.

"I established XS Corporation just for you," he revealed.

Hera was momentarily stunned because she had never thought of that. After all, Theo had always been referred to as the public CEO of XS Corporation.

Furthermore, XS Corporation was established three years ago, before they reunited.

She didn't expect Bernard to establish a company for her to go against the Killian family.

A wave of emotions overwhelmed her. She realized that there was no way to fall out of his charm for this lifetime.

"Mr. Killian, it seems you've been plotting this for a long time." She tugged at his necktie. He raised her chin. "Yes, so you might as well surrender to me, Ms. Youngworth."

"Well, that depends on whether you can conquer me or not." She smiled seductively.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his finger caressed her lips. "If you want it, I can transfer XS Corporation to your name. You can go all out against the Killian Corporation."

It was an enticing gift, and she was tempted to receive it, but she wouldn't yet. "No. I have my ways."

"Whether you want it or not, XS Corporation was established for you. How are you going to express your gratitude, Ms. Youngworth?"

She yanked him over by tugging at his tie and standing on tiptoes to kiss his lips.

After a passionate kiss, they were wrapped up in the heated atmosphere. She whispered into his ear, "How about offering myself as a thank-you gift?"

His eyes darkened at her misty eyes. "I'd love it, but this offer has to last forever."

Holding the back of her head, he deepened the kiss.

It had been a month since they had sex. They were aware of each other's sensitive spots, and it would take just a little teasing to light a spark between them.

Hera, whose body felt like jelly from the arousal, led Bernard to the shower. They prepared to take a shower together.

She still couldn't feel her left hand, so she unbuckled his belt with her right hand. After much effort, she finally undid it.

Right then, he suddenly recalled that one shouldn't have sex during the first three months of pregnancy. Quickly, he grabbed her delicate hands.noveldrama

She frowned. "You don't want to do it?"

"I want to, but you can't." His voice was hoarse.

The would on her left hand had already scabbed over. Apart from feeling numb, she felt like she had recovered enough to have sex.

"I'm fine."

"We shouldn't take the risk." He held her shoulders and pushed her away gently. "You're a doctor. You should know that you're in the most vulnerable stage right now. We can wait until your condition is more stable."

She clucked her tongue, annoyed. Previously, he would cling on her in bed even if she didn't want to do it.

Now that she wanted to have sex, he was refusing her!

This wouldn't do...
