Chapter 282 Acceptance
Hera didn’t wait for Lucas and promptly led Logan back to where her car was parked.
When they got into the car, Hera ensured that both she and Logan were properly seated and buckled up before she smirked triumphantly. "See how I handled Lucas? You don’t have to be openly hostile to deliver a blow. Sometimes, the most effective and heaviest strike is the one that seems innocent and unintended." Hera then giggled mischievously.
’It seems Athena has really corrupted me,’ Hera thought as she drove away from that street.
Logan fell silent, lost in contemplation, but something in him seemed to change. Hera chose not to delve deeper, focusing instead on driving him directly to the address. When they arrived, she left him to his thoughts as he entered his new unit. Betty had ensured he had a spacious apartment fully furnished befitting an A-lister, complete with a high-end nanny van for convenient travel.
Betty also arranged for a competent assistant to arrive the next day, reassuring Hera that Logan would be well-supported. With this peace of mind, she felt comfortable leaving Logan on his own for now, allowing her to focus on matters she had been putting aside for a while.
After bringing Logan to his new place, Hera returned to her own penthouse. Her bodyguards, now openly surrounding her car like a convoy, ensured that no one could try anything suspicious. She allowed this security detail to remain in place until she reached the gate of the Green Dragon Manor and went straight to the parking garage Dragon Jade Building and only then did her bodyguard disperse.
"Hera?!" someone called from the shadows, instantly putting her on high alert. She turned around with vigilance, keeping her distance from the source of the voice.
"It’s me." The owner of the voice stepped closer to Hera, momentarily pausing to confirm that the person who had exited the Bugatti La Voiture Noire was indeed her. Once certain, he approached quickly, his molten golden eyes gleaming in the shadows like stars sparkling in the night sky.
There was only one person she knew with such beautiful golden orbs for eyes. "Luke?"
