Chapter 1149: I am my own enemy
"How did it go?" Joker asked as soon as Hera entered the front passenger’s seat. Seeing her expression, that was enough for him to get his answer. "Well, never mind."
Joker shrugged as he started the engine, ready to drive themselves back to the building where they landed earlier. But just as he started driving, Hera spoke.
"Give me your phone," she said, earning a quick look from him. "I need to call Dominic."
"Uh..." Joker pondered. "Why?"
"Do I have to answer to you now?"
"No, but I don’t think that’s a good idea."
Hera clasped her hand and then massaged her temple. "I know it’s a bad idea to contact him, but I have to."
"Hera." Joker’s expression turned solemn, keeping his eyes on the windshield. "What happened in there?"
Hera didn’t answer as she leaned back against the seat. What happened back there was... awful. It wasn’t like she didn’t expect any bad talk with Old Madam Zhu. After all, she was Hera and not Heaven Liu, whom the Old Madam doted on. However, what she didn’t expect was the information she would learn from her.
"I’m not asking for the details," Joker sighed. "All I’m asking is, do you think it’s necessary to risk it? Is it worth it?"
"My husband needs me." Hera looked at his side profile. "Everything about that is worth it."
