Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 222

Since Leon revealed the price that Raven demanded from Queenie to the other hackers, they had been calling Raven as "God Raven". She was even more ruthless than her master, Mr. S.

Who knew that she was also so demanding in real life? She even committed a robbery!

"Just drive properly." Hera gave him the address to a manor on the outskirts of the city. Then, she leaned back on the headrest and shut her eyes, reflecting on what happened just now.

Just now, Samson was about to take off her mask. She wasn't sure whether this was his own doing or instructions from the Grandmaster of Astral Nova. However, she heard that the rules in Astral Nova were very strict. The subordinates could never have gone against the Grandmaster's will.

If he really was instructed by the Grandmaster to take off her mask, then did that mean that he did not know her true identity? Did the deal also happen purely because he liked Bernard's sexy photos?

Besides that, he even thought of her as a cross-dressing woman.

She suddenly recalled Roman calling Bernard gay. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Leon who was driving.

"Piglet, I have a question."

Leon was focused on the road. "Ask away."

"What does it feel like for people like you to like the same sex?" Hera asked.

Leon thought about it for a while. "I suppose you are either born with it or it developed later in life. For example, I was born like this. I was never interested in women. The feeling of liking men is probably the same as a heterosexual person liking the opposite sex.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"As for those whose sexuality developed later in life, it feels like they are just in it for the excitement. I'm not very sure as well. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Hera did not answer but asked him again, "Would you keep sexy photos of men?"

Leon choked on his own saliva. He didn't expect Hera to be so bold and straightforward, asking him such a question without even a hint of a blush.

"If it's quite attractive, I would." After saying that, he quickly added, "You must not tell Damian."

Hera was pensive. If that were true, then that would explain the Grandmaster of Astral Nova's kinks.

"Then what do you feel toward girls? Would you say very intimate things and even live together?" She continued to ask.

"If we are very close, then yes.

Previously, I lived with another girl for about five years. She saved my life. When she saved me, she was even pregnant. Later, when she gave birth, took care of her. Now, her son calls me 'dad'. But of course, I'm not his biological father. We stayed together just like a real family, and I treated her like a younger sister."

When Leon said that, his tone seemed to become brighter. It was obvious that those moments were happy memories for him.

Leon had a youthful face and looked to be in his early twenties. But actually, he was already thirty years old.

Hera couldn't help but match Bernard's actions to Leon's story. Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked down at the velvet box beside her. She felt a jumble of emotions.

She didn't quite understand

romantic love, no one ever taught

her anything about it. The only person who spoke about romantic relationships with her was her mentor, whom she had never met. He said that all men were pigs and warned her to stay away from romance.

She didn't think much about it at the time because she felt that romance was a distant, unfathomable thing.

However, she felt confused on her feelings now. Whenever she thought of Bernard viewing her as his niece, her chest felt as if it was blocked by something. It was uncomfortable.

Leon noticed that she stopped

speaking. He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw her odd expression. Combining all the questions about homosexuality, he realized with a shock. "Boss, did you meet some bastard fuckboy?"

There was no way! Was she talking about Bernard?

As a gay man, Leon was quite sure that Bernard was definitely straight.

The way he looked at Hera was full of doting love. Also, his possessiveness was obvious. If he wasn't interested in Hera, even pigs could fly!

"Let's stop here." Hera snapped out of her thoughts. She saw that they already reached their destination.

It was an area in the outskirts of the city with villas, clearly meant for relaxation and recreation. There were few people around. Leon stopped the car, and Hera put on her mask and stepped out of the car.

"Boss..." Leon still wanted to be nosy, but she already left.
