Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 660

Meanwhile, Priscilla arrived at the Chime residence. Her disheveled appearance and state of disarray upon arriving at the entrance were immediately photographed by the reporters staking out at the door.

"Mrs. Chime Senior, are the rumors on the internet true?"

"Is Everly truly not a Chime? Why did you all make a public announcement saying that she is?"

"May I know why you paid to destroy Dr. Youngworth?"

"There's a rumor saying that you're actually the mistress who ruined Dr. Youngworth and Mr. Chime Senior's marriage arrangement back then. Is that true?"

Priscilla pursed her lips tightly. It took all her efforts and the bodyguards' help to squeeze through the crowd of reporters and enter the house.

As soon as she entered the living room, she angrily smashed the porcelain vase by the door. Priscilla truly despised Hera and Catherine.

After Priscilla steadied her breath, she reached for her phone and made a call.

"Mrs. Killian, I won't make any small talk. I'm sure you've seen the news about us Chimes. Can you help?"

"I want to be of help too. I was just thinking that we could announce a marriage alliance between our families at my birthday banquet. Who knew your granddaughter would land herself in hot water so quickly?"

While speaking, Linda couldn't resist gossiping. "Is Everly really part of your family? I've already suggested to Chad that she become Bernard's future wife."

Hearing that made Priscilla's eyes light up. Marrying Everly into the Killian family was the best way to save the Chime family. Even if Everly wasn't her biological granddaughter, she would have to insist upon it.

"Of course. We can even do a paternity test!"

"Since she's your biological granddaughter, we don't have to worry about the rumors. Bring her along to my birthday banquet. This time, we'll ensure that the marriage alliance goes through," Linda said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Killian," Priscilla answered with a smile. "But a marriage alliance isn't enough, Mrs. Killian. You still have to say a few good words about my family to the public."

But speaking in favor of the Chime family wasn't a simple task. After all, that would mean using the Killian family's reputation to vouch for the Chimes.

Things would be fine if the scandals on the internet were false. But if they turned out to be true, it would negatively impact the Killians.

Linda wasn't a fool. "Mrs. Chime Senior, that won't be easy."

"Mrs. Killian, my family has always helped you whenever you asked for it. We may not have directly contributed to your success today, but we've certainly put in our efforts to help you.

"You may find it inconvenient to help us, but my family's reputation is on the line. In order to preserve ourselves, I'll be forced to release certain information to turn the netizens' attention elsewhere," Priscilla deliberately said.

Linda's expression darkened. The Chime family knew many of her secrets, and Priscilla was threatening her with them.

Although Linda was furious, she held back her anger. "I can't help with the rumors surrounding the Chime family. But I can help you deal with the culprit responsible for putting you in this mess."

"What do you have in mind?" Priscilla gritted her teeth with a furious glint in her eyes. She wished she could destroy Hera right now.

"Don't you worry about all that. Just handle your problems and bring Everly to my birthday banquet as arranged," Linda replied.

"Sounds good!" After ending the call, Priscilla immediately called Marcus. "Where's Everly? Bring her back now!" Marcus was also stressed out on the other end of the call. He couldn't be bothered with Everly's whereabouts." Grandma, why are you looking for her now?"

"Why would I be looking for her if I didn't have something for her to do? You must bring her back by tonight!" Priscilla gritted her teeth.

Hera was at Youngworth Miracle Clinic. To prevent Catherine from overthinking, Hera asked her to have some fun with Mildred and Lilith.

Thus, Hera handled the consultations on her own before returning to the residential area at night to accompany the three of them.

Catherine had taken the week off. With everyone accompanying her, the gloom caused by Priscilla had faded from Catherine's mind completely.

Although Catherine was happy, Bernard, who had been spending his nights alone for a week, was very miserable. Once the cleaners finished cleaning and disinfecting the clinic for the evening, Hera shut the clinic doors before heading to the western wing to feed Tiramisu. Bernard returned just as she was about to leave for Catherine's place.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
