Chapter 234 In his hurry to find Hera and Bernard, Gideon hadn't noticed the room numbers given by the receptionist. It wasn't until they arrived that he realized Mildred, who was supposed to share a room with Hera, hadn't come, and Bernard was here instead, which meant they would have to share a room! Hera stood at the door, looked at the key card in her hand, then at Bernard, and finally, at Gideon. She didn't expect her brother to put her in such a predicament.

Gideon was momentarily stunned.

"What kind of arrangement is this? Why are you so stingy? Couldn't you get another room?" Gino kicked Gideon.

Bernard's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Since there aren't enough rooms, we'll just have to make do for the night." "No way!" Gideon and Gino shouted together.

Gideon continued, "You don't look the least bit reluctant!" Gino added, "Not enough rooms? Didn't you clear the whole place out?” Hera was utterly speechless.

In the end, after a round of swapping key cards, Hera and Lilith ended up in one room, James and Gino in another, and the last one was for Gideon and Bernard.

Once everything was settled, Gideon smiled as he handed the key card to Bernard, saying, "Mr. Killian, you and I are sharing a room. If you mind, feel free to step outside and take any room you like." Gino nodded in rare approval, thinking Gideon's strategy was spot on.

Meanwhile, James wanted to curry favor with Bernard to revive the company, so he hoped Bernard would stay. However, what Gideon said was practically an affront to Bernard's pride.

What a ridiculous idea! As the seventh son of the illustrious Killian family, there was no way he would condescend to share a room with a stranger, especially with so many empty rooms available.

To everyone's surprise, Bernard took the room key, swiped it, and entered the room without a change in expression.

James was astonished. “Well, you..." Both Gino and Gideon were rendered speechless.

They had underestimated how shameless Bernard could be. Hera watched as Bernard and Gideon walked into the room together, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Bernard had said before that not just anyone could see his body and even asked her to take photos. Tagging along to the hot springs was one thing, but he was even willing to share a room with Gideon.

Thinking about that, Hera couldn't help but wonder if Bernard might be interested in her brother.

"Hera, what's the matter? You...." Lilith saw Hera staring at Bernard's room door and grew concerned.

She wondered if Hera wanted to share a room with Bernard.

Hera snapped out of it and replied, "It's nothing." Once inside the room, Hera immediately placed the box with the gold needles into her bag.

As Lilith took Hera's swimsuit out of the suitcase, she noticed the item in Hera's hand and was somewhat En. surprised.

Hera always gave off an aloof and unapproachable vibe, making it hard for people to get close to her. She seemed indifferent to everything. It was the first tshe had seen Hera cherish something so much, and it seemed like it was a gift from Bernard. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and she hesitantly asked, "Hera, are your dating Mr. Killian?" Hera was taken aback. She didn't understand why even Lilith thought they were dating.

"No!" Hera blurted out.

Hera's quick and unequivocal denial made Lilith question whether Hera was angry because she had been too intrusive or if Hera was upset because she wasn't sharing a room with Bernard.
