Chapter 685

"What's up?" Tyler asked.

"Kill Hera," Linda said as if she were talking about the weather.

"Sounds exciting. Sure!" Tyler's eyes narrowed, and he smirked. "What do you have in mind?"

Linda was satisfied with his lack of hesitation. Even though Hera was his student, she was less important to him compared to her and Rhett's influence over him.

She looked around to ensure no one was nearby before outlining her plan.

It was around 1:00 am when Hera returned to Jadeite Bay.

After her shower, she noticed her phone vibrating on the table. It was Stephen. She waited a little longer before answering the phone with a sleepy voice, "Hello, Stephen?"

"Were you asleep, Ms. Youngrowth?" Stephen noticed Hera sounded like she had just woken up. He couldn't help but sneer to himself at how relaxed Hera was.

"Yes, I was waiting for your call and must have dozed off without realizing it," Hera muttered.

"Sorry, I was caught up with some work. I've listened to the recording. The recording is strong evidence, and I've already applied for a case. Now, we just need Mrs. Killian to admit that the voice on the recording is hers, and we can immediately arrest her!" Stephen said.

It turned out that he was the mole!

Hera had never mentioned that the voice in the recording was Linda's. In fact, she had spent quite some time trying to identify the owner of the voice, but Stephen had directly pointed it out. It seemed he had already spoken with Linda.

However, this was exactly what Hera wanted.

"Does this mean we can arrest her in the morning?" she asked.

"Not so fast. The Killian family is powerful. They'll likely arrange for her bail if we arrest her now, and you won't achieve your goal," Stephen replied.

Hera pretended to be anxious. "So, what should I do? Just let her go free?"

"Don't worry. I have a plan," Stephen reassured her. "Mrs. Killian's birthday banquet is in three days. We can make the arrest on that day. The media will be there. And with the public's support, the authorities won't be able to let the Killian family bail her out easily."

"That's a great idea, Stephen. I should have thought of that!" Hera was repulsed by her own enthusiasm.

Stephen smiled, thinking Hera had taken the bait. "Good. We'll meet at the Imperial Hotel in three days."

Hera hummed. "Alright, see you, then."

"See you." Stephen ended the call. He shook his head with a smirk. The so-called genius hacker and miracle doctor was not so clever, after all.

He then texted Linda, "The fish has taken the bait."

Meanwhile, Hera ended the call with a smirk.

Just then, Douglas called. She hesitated before answering the call. "What's the matter, Mr. Copley?"

"Sweetie, it's me." Bernard's deep voice reached her ears, stirring her suppressed longing.

Bernard, who had finally managed to reach her on the phone, noticed her silence and resisted the urge to question her about who she had been speaking with. "Sweetie, don't hang up... I followed the doctor's advice today and received treatment. The doctor said I did well and allowed me to call you."
