Bernard chuckled, realizing that Hera was not saying a word. "Not telling me? That's okay. Even if you don't tellanything, | can
still find out."
He was an attractive man who looked extremely charming whenever he smiled. But for sreason, Hera felt chilly.
Then, she heard him continue coldly, "If it's sbastard, I'll break his legs. We'll see whether he dares to kidnap you again."
Hera was speechless. He was threatening her.
"Go ahead. Remember to letknow once you've found out who he is." Hera patted Bernard on the chest before turning to leave.
Surliness flashed through Bernard's eyes. He glanced back, seemingly to check on something before catching up with Hera.
After returning to the study in the courtyard house, Hera used her laptop to load the website mentioned in the letter once more.
She could not deny that Xavier was a very cautious man. The password hint had been changed to another advanced math
question.
Hera solved the question again before keying in the password. She clicked open the first folder, only to discover that only three
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtphotos remained.
She remembered that there were more than ten photos when she was at the park. Yet there were only three left.
Hera wondered if a different password meant seeing different photos or...
While Hera was still in shock, she watched a photo disappear before her eyes. She finally understood that Xavier was deleting the
photos.
Hera immediately downloaded the other two photos to her laptop before quickly opening a code program. Her fingers flew across
the keyboard as she typed.

Suddenly, the firewall on his laptop alerted him to an intrusion.
Xavier immediately switched off his mobile hotspot to cut off the network, causing the firewall alert to cease right away.
He shut his laptop and put it away into his backpack. After putting on his sunglasses and pulling his cap lower, he left the
washroom.
After all, the two of them were the victims of the incident years ago, although Hera wasn't related to the Killian family now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHera returned to the website and clicked on the remaining two photos. They were marked photos of where Greg was found dead 12
years ago. The photos were taken from printed pictures instead of the original files.
Although the photo quality wasn't clear, Hera recognized the background as Daisy Courtyard's hall, where she used to play hide
and seek with Lucius, Daphne, and Bernard all the tas a child.
After the murder that year, Daisy Courtyard was sealed off. The courtyard remained closed even after Hera left the Killians. She
had no idea what the place looked like now.
These photos were very important to Hera. Lucius’ case files couldn't be retrieved, and the evidence Daphne had collected
disappeared after her death as well.
Xavier must have known something and even had other evidence on hand. Perhaps acting dumb was the only way for him to
remain at the Killian residence and continue his investigation.
Hera had to find a way to meet with Xavier again. She returned to the page and realized that the second folder was still there. She
clicked it open and saw a photo there as well.
