Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 1033

That evening, during dinner, Hera noticed Dora seemed listless and barely touched her favorite grilled steak. She asked, "Dora, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Dora shook her head and made an excuse, "No, I'm just not hungry."

"Tiffany said you went back to school this evening to get your homework. Did you get it?" Hera asked.

Dora silently grumbled about how Tiffany told her mom everything.

"Yes, I got it," she mumbled.

Hera pressed, "Do you understand the homework? Would you like me to help you?"

Wouldn't that expose her lie if she let Hera help? Dora quickly shook her head and declined, "No need. I'll ask Dyl if I get stuck."

"You'd better let Mom help you." Dylan huffed. He clearly didn't want to tutor her.

Dora huffed. "You're definitely going to have trouble finding a girlfriend in the future with how heartless you are!"

Dylan didn't seem to care, thinking girls were too much trouble and distracted him from his studies.

After dinner, Dora paced in the living room, debating how to tell her mom that Titus wanted to see her. She originally planned to ask her dad, who was easier to approach, but he happened to be on a business trip and wouldn't return for a few days. She had no choice but to tell her mom.

After preparing herself, she went to the study to find Hera. She put on an innocent look. "Mommy, I'm still your beloved daughter no matter what happens, right?"

Hera caught on quickly and asked, "What trouble have you gotten into now?"

Dora wanted to avoid the topic and shot back, "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, come on. Don't be shy. We all know you two held hands yesterday, didn't you?" Kiara smirked knowingly.

Dora was startled. "How did you know?"

Her friends had been blowing up the group chat the night before, asking about it, but she felt so down that she didn't reply. She kept replaying Eli's words in her mind, and it hurt so much that she even deleted the story she had been writing about the two of them.

"Someone took a photo of you two holding hands and posted it on the school forum. It went viral." Kiara showed her the post on her phone.

Dora grabbed the phone. It really was them! "Who posted this? Can they delete it?"
