Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 652

Hera let Wayne, who had been waiting in the corridor, assist Catherine. "Wayne, take Grandma to the car first."

"Sure," Wayne replied.

Catherine was still worried. "Herie."

"Don't worry. I'll handle things," Hera comforted Catherine gently while hugging her. Catherine felt relieved and left with Wayne.

Hera followed Augustus to an empty room provided by Joshua.

"Ms. Youngworth, I'm really sorry for the trouble caused," Augustus apologized.

Hera became slightly impatient and asked nonchalantly, "Do you only know how to apologize?"

"I didn't lead the Chime family well and ended up causing so much trouble. It's only right that I apologize."

While speaking, Augustus took out a folder. "Here's the information you requested. I initially planned for Catherine to bring it to you.

"But ver expected Priscilla to cause such a misunderstanding and end up hurting Catherine. I'm truly sorry." Hera took the folder and glanced through its contents to confirm that it was indeed information on Linda's surgery. A tape was even included inside.

She put the folder away. "Take care of your family matters yourself. Don't seek out my grandmother again," Hera said before leaving with the folder.

The information leaked online would be enough to keep the Chimes busy for a while. Besides, someone would take revenge on Priscilla for what she did to Catherine.

Augustus followed Hera to the parking lot. His lips were parted slightly the whole time. He had plenty to say, but he had no idea where to begin.

His gaze shifted toward Catherine in the car. However, she did not meet his gaze and looked elsewhere. Once the car door was shut, the car disappeared into the crowd.

Meanwhile, Richard firmly led Priscilla away from the police station and shoved her into the car. She kept grumbling while ordering him to let her out of the car.

However, Richard listened to no one else aside from Augustus. After locking the car doors and windows, he drove toward the Chime residence.

Priscilla furiously whipped out her phone. She was about to call Augustus when she noticed that she had several missed calls. At the same time, she received an incoming call from Marcus.

As soon as she answered the call, she heard Marcus' anxious voice. "Where are you, Grandma? The trending news on Twitter made Dad faint out of anger."

At that moment, Priscilla still remained in the dark about the Chime family's current situation.

Didn't she hire people to spread the scandal about Catherine on Twitter? She wondered if Augustus had been exposed as Catherine's lover in the scandal.

"What made him faint out of anger? Is he okay?" Priscilla asked.

Marcus replied, "The trending news is all about our family! A few matters were all exposed at the same time. That includes you paying for the trending articles, the truth of Everly not being related to us, and our hospital selling donated organs.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Our house, company, and hospital are surrounded by reporters. Even our shareholders have been affected, let alone our stocks, which keep plummeting."

"What?" Priscilla was startled. She couldn't understand why the trending news was about the Chime family. Shouldn't the news be about Catherine?

Priscilla immediately put on her reading glasses. She checked Twitter and saw that the trending news was all about the Chime family's scandals. In fact, there was no sign of anything about Catherine.

The trending news caused Priscilla's blood pressure to spike. For a moment, she felt rather faint.

"Mrs. Chime Senior, are you alright?" Richard noticed through the rearview mirror that Priscilla seemed unwell, so he slowed down the car.

Priscilla quickly took out some emergency heart medication from her bag and swallowed a few pills without water. It took a while before she finally calmed down.

"Hera!" she exclaimed through gritted teeth. Aside from Hera, Priscilla couldn't think of anyone else who dared to lay a finger on the Chime family.

Priscilla immediately called Augustus. "Augustus, look at that bitch you're so protective of! See what she's done to our family!"
