Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 806

Gino was taken to the office. It didn't take long for his mentor to show up as well.

Gino explained three times that he was merely trying to intimidate Dylan earlier. Besides, Gino had given the money to Dora out of sympathy after learning of their desolate living conditions.

He wasn't even trying to bribe them. Gino was Hera's apprentice, so he could easily win the competition without needing to bribe others. It wasn't even necessary.

In the end, Gino was given a lecture before being released. By the time he came out of the office, the finals were already over.

Without Gino, it wasn't a surprise that Dylan, leading far ahead in the leaderboard, won the championship.

Gino clenched his fists angrily as he watched Dylan go onstage to take the prize. If it weren't for that incident, the title would have been Gino's.

Gino wanted to win all the informatics competitions around the world and complete a Grand Slam. Once Hera was back, he could prove to her how brilliant he was. The only title missing was the Agrecian Championship.

The next time it was held was four years later. By then, he would be 16 years old, and he didn't want to compete against the other kids.

Gino was infuriated. After watching Dylan take the prize, Gino bade goodbye to his mentor before heading for the back entrance.

Hera took a seat in the last row of the spectators' seats. She had arrived while the finals were halfway through.

Although Dylan was completely blocked by his computer, Hera could tell from the large screen right away that Contestant No. 1's coding belonged to Dylan.

Hera was delighted and proud to watch Dylan take the lead and win the title. While he stood onstage to take the prize, she instinctively applauded for him along with the audience.

Five years ago, Hera woke up on the operation table and overheard that the doctors intended to terminate her pregnancy. She objected to the abortion despite not recalling anything from her past or who the father of her baby was.

Her maternal instinct drove her to insist on keeping the baby. The baby was very important to Hera. She never expected to find out later that she was pregnant with twins and ended up giving birth to a boy and a girl.

Hera couldn't remember her past, so these two children were the best things she could ever ask for after the accident.

While standing onstage, Dylan spotted Hera among the audience in the last row. Delight filled him first, only to be replaced with terror. After all, he had gone behind her back to participate in this competition.

After receiving the award, Dylan ignored the reporters' questions and led Dora to Hera." Mom."

"Mommy, I missed you very much." Dora rushed forward upon seeing Hera and hugged her immediately.

Dora looked up at Hera hopefully. "I haven't seen you in so long, Mommy. Did you miss us?" Hera bent her head and pinched Dora's nose. "It's no use trying to act cute with me. Seems like I'll have to teach you a lesson. Come on," she said.

Hera took Dylan and Dora by each hand and led them away from the crowd, walking toward the back door.

This was bad. Hera was definitely angry. Whenever she was furious, Dora and Dylan wouldn't be given any meat for their meals. They would even have to do mathematical questions.noveldrama

Dora didn't want to do any equations. She just wanted to eat meat.

Dora desperately tried to make eye contact with Dylan to ask for help. Yet he did not meet with her gaze as he silently followed Hera.

As they walked, he suddenly realized that something wasn't right. They were walking toward the back door, not the front door.

What if Gino ended up bringing a few thugs to stop them at the back entrance?

"Mom, can we leave by the front door?" Dylan tugged at Hera's clothes.

"There are many reporters at the front door," Hera explained.
