"Letdrink more. I'll feel better." Seeing this, Samantha hugged Hera in distress. One shouldn't be fooled by Hera's usual aloof demeanor and how she seemed indifferent to anything. She was merely suppressing all her emotions, which was why she did not express them easily. To Hera, as long as she did not care, others could not affect her feelings. Thus, she wasn't someone who trusted others easily. Even with Samantha, they took a long tto build up the rapport they had today. But it did not even take one year for Bernard to be the reason for Hera's current state. That indicated that she truly took their relationship very seriously.
"Alright, there, there. Don't be sad anymore. He's just a man. I'll find you another one. I still have several cousins who are single and even look rather handsome. I'll introduce them to you later," Samantha comforted. Hera downed another large glass of wine as her mind started to wander. After letting out a drunken hiccup, she asked, "Are any of them more handsthan Bernard?" "Oh..." Samantha pondered over it. Hera was still comparing looks even though she was drunk. Perhaps no other man in this world could compare to Bernard's unparalleled attractiveness.

Bernard's voice cthrough the phone. "Sweetie, how do you want to split our tfor Tiramisu?" Hera was stunned for a moment upon hearing his familiar voice before angrily exclaiming, "We'll never split! It's mine since you gave it toas a gift. How could you want to take back a present you gave away?" Bernard could tell that something about her voice was off. "Are you drunk?" Already drunk, Hera did not hear a single word he said as she continued speaking, "You also gavethe courtyard house, so you can't ask for it back! "You also can't take back those gold needles since you gifted them to me. All these are already mine, so you're not allowed to take them back..." Bernard patiently listened to her ramble on while imagining her drunken state with a dazed look in her eyes. Suddenly, he found that rather adorable. "What about me? I'm yours as well," he asked.
At the stime, Bernard tilted his head and held the phone between his shoulder and ear while quickly opening his laptop. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed scodes to access the location system and determine Hera's location.
Hera was drunk as she muttered incoherently, "You... You're not mine since you've already agreed to break up with me. You're not mine... You don't loveanymore...
"You agreed to break up, so that means you don't loveanymore... I don't want to love you anymore either..." Bernard paused as he was about to reach for his car keys. He suddenly felt a pang in his heart. Hera seemed so indifferent about the breakup earlier, so he never realized how deeply hurt she was.

"Oh? That's not necessary. Hera feels awful, so I don't think she wants to see you now."

"Bernard, the Elders have learned about the situation with the Vulcan alias at the anniversary party. You need to handle this urgently." Bernard frowned slightly before saying, "Got it."
After ending the call, he turned the car in another direction. At the stime, he called Samantha, saying, "Take care of Hera."
