Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 757

"How long did you lock Hera up for?" Joshua asked.

"Two days, or it could've been three days. I can't remember the finer details. Back then, the police were investigating Greg's murder, so no one paid attention to her. I have no idea how she escaped afterward."

A loud noise cut off Rhett's voice in the recording, followed by a flurry of commotion. Amid the noise, Joshua's voice could be heard.

"Mr. Bernard, don't be reckless. If you kill him, there are no witnesses left to bring the culprit to justice."

Hearing the revelation made Hera's breath hitch. Just as Xavier had suspected back then, she did witness the entire incident at the crime scene. Not only was Hera unable to recall a single thing, but Bernard had even asked Felix to alter her memories.

Hera cast a sideway glance at Bernard. He bent his head before kissing her on the forehead and wrapping an arm around her.

"I'm sorry, sweetie. Those memories were far too bloody, and I didn't want them to affect you for the rest of your life. Hence, I made a selfish decision by asking Felix to wipe them out from your memories."

Hera said nothing. Bernard's overprotective behavior made her feel rather suffocated. Without his interference, she might have recalled those memories earlier.

But now wasn't the time to dwell on all this, so Hera freed herself from his embrace. "I'll settle this with you later!"

Bernard went silent, suddenly feeling uneasy.

In the interrogation room, Nathan turned off the recorder. He gazed at Gemma and asked, "Ms. Gemma, can you confirm what Mr. Rhett said?"

Xavier looked up and glared at Gemma with bloodshot eyes.
