Facade

“Dean Ludden, it’s been a while.” Hera put away her phone. “How did you know those exam papers were mine? 

From Christopher’s confession just now, she learned that the exam papers her mentor made her do ended up with Andrew. 

“I noticed that your handwriting is different when you use your left and right hands. You use your left hand naturally, but you also trained your right hand,” Andrew said. 

Hera looked at him as he continued, “Rest assured, I won’t talk about this matter.” 

“Did you send those textbooks and exam papers?” Hera asked. 

Andrew nodded. “Yes, but someone else asked me to send them.” 

“Who was it?” Hera asked immediately. 

“Hebe, I’m sorry. I promised him that I wouldn’t leak his information.” Andrew looked embarrassed 

Hera understood Andrew’s words. Her mentor’s influence was indeed extraordinary since Andrew was cautious about it. 

“It’s okay, I’ll take my leave.” She didn’t want to trouble Andrew anymore and stood up suddenly. 

“Wait, Hera.” Andrew hurriedly stopped her and asked her with some embarrassment, “Can you let Christopher go for cheating? After all, this matter involves the Ludden family’s reputation” 

Hera glanced at Christopher who was standing in the comer reflecting Christopher stood rigidly when he felt her gaze. 

“You must remember that the Ludden family owes me a favor.” Hera finished speaking and turned to leave. 

Outside the CEO’s office at XS Corporation, the company’s senior executives were lined up. They entered one by one to give their quarterly reports. 

Inside the office, Bernard was playing chess with the CEO of XS Corporation, The Smith. 

Bernard’s slender fingers were holding a chess rock 

When a senior executive finished his report and asked for instructions, Theo didn’t immediately respond but glanced at Bernard’s expression first 

In the eyes of outsiders, XS Corporation rose to prominence in the past two years by getting hold of a large order from Killian Corporation. 

In just two years, XS Corporation became one of the top ten domestic companies, and this was all under Theo’s leadership. 

However, no one knew that the man calmly playing chess in front of them was the true boss of XS Corporation. 

Upon seeing that Bernard had no objections, Theo nodded to the senior executive and said, “Triplement the plan according to this. Next.” 

At this moment, Douglas took the opportunity and whispered in Bernard’s ear, “Bernard, I just received news that there’s a problem with Hera’s grades.” 

Bernard was prepared to move the took and win the game, but his movements halted when he heard what Douglas said. “Hmm?” 

He turned his head to look at Douglas. 

“The academy announced that she got a full score yesterday, but just received news that Hera cheated by copying Christopher’s exam papers, and it was caught by the media..” 

As Douglas spoke, he couldn’t help but picture Hera’s cold and distant face. He was unable to imagine her cheating 

“Handle it” Demand put down the chess piece and suddenly stood up. 

“Understood,” Douglas replied. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing Bernard about to leave, Theo also stood up quickly, “Berard, is there something urgent? There are still two investment projects here that haven’t been reported.” “Yeah. I’m going to Cavenridge for class. Douglas, you can decide for the rest of the projects,” Bernard said before leaving the office and driving away in his black Audi Theo rubbed his chin, and there was a sly glint in his eyes as he looked at Douglas. 

“Bernard has been holding the position of professor at Caventidge for two years, but he hasn’t attended a single class. Could there be something fishy now that he’s suddenly

Douglas scratched his head. “Is it because of love?”
