Under the Heiress' Facade

A black Lincoln pulled up at the entrance of Luxent Hotel, and in the back seat were Lily and Zyler.

"Zee, we're here," Lily reminded.

"Do you trust them?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Zyler looked skeptical.

Lily explained, "The hackers on Cyber Web highly respect Raven. If Raven refuses a job, no one else will take it, even if it's left hanging for months. You'd have to resort to the black market.

"Don't worry. Raven built our family's company firewall. It's been solid with no issues."

Despite posting a reward, the Gaskell family received no responses to the mission. Instead, they faced more hacker attacks.

The security of the Gaskell company's firewall was at risk, causing headaches for the whole family. With even Amelia frantically seeking solutions, Zyler couldn't stay idle and wanted to help.

Although he knew little about managing a company due to his passion for music and arts, he remembered that the Bourne family was in the internet industry and sought Lily out.

Unexpectedly, Lily suggested looking up people from the black market despite the risks involved. But with the Gaskell family pushed to the brink, Zyler decided to proceed with her idea.

As they headed toward the lobby, they spotted Hera rushing from the elevator, followed by a man who looked like a hotel security guard.

Lily's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She wondered about the reason for Hera's presence.

Considering Luxent Hotel's cost and the Everetts' bankruptcy, Lily speculated that Hera might have dined and dashed. The thought excited Lily, as Hera had caused trouble for the Gaskell family, Giselle, and her best friend, Janiya.

Hera had especially troubled Janiya.

Lily had contacted Janiya after the incident, who indirectly implied Hera's involvement in her fate. Lily felt she had to use this opportunity to seek revenge on Hera for Janiya's sake.

At the sight of Hera, Lily said, "Zee, look. It's Hera."

Zyler's first thought was that Hera was stalking him.

"Hera, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Lily blocked her path.

Hera glanced at them indifferently and coldly replied, "Leave me alone."

"You haven't done anything wrong, so why are you running so fast?"

Lily stubbornly obstructed Hera's way and called over the security guards at the entrance.

"She's broke. You'd better hold her and check if there's been a theft in the hotel or if someone's been dining and dashing," Lily confidently declared, which attracted much attention in the lobby.

Some bystanders immediately stepped forward to surround Hera at the mention of a theft.

Lily was delighted at the commotion she had caused. She anticipated seeing Hera thrown out by the security guards, preferably after she received a good beating.

However, the security guard didn't move when he saw the person Lily was accusing.

Instead, he scrutinized Lily and asked, "Who are you? On what grounds are you commanding us?"

The guard had seen Hera arrive with Bernard, who even opened the car door for her. He wouldn't dare touch her.

"What's with your attitude? Do you want to keep your job here? Look closely—I'm a gold VIP member of Luxent, and he's from the Gaskell family!

"You'd have to sell your own mother before you'd even get close to affording a scratch on his shoes!"

Lily's frustration boiled over as she lashed out at the security guard.

Zyler frowned at Lily's crude behavior. His remaining feelings for her dissipated instantly.
