Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 559

"Yeah, my friend isn't feeling well, and it's rather inconvenient for him to leave the house. So, I have to keep making visits," Everly made up an excuse with a nod.

"Everly, are you dating someone?" Catherine asked. Everly usually had the same excuses every time she asked to take leave.

Everly avoided Catherine's gaze. To prevent her from realizing that something was off, Everly purposely exclaimed childishly, "Mrs. Jones, stop teasing me! No, I'm not dating anyone. He's just a normal friend."

Catherine smiled, thinking that Everly really had a boyfriend. "Go ahead. Once the time is right, you can bring him back here and introduce him to everyone."

Everly felt slightly guilty. "Sure."

After leaving the clinic, Everly went home and changed into a light yellow dress. She even put on some light makeup before leaving through the back entrance of the residential area.

After walking about 500 yards, Everly spotted a black BMW parked by the roadside and looked around. Once certain no one she knew was around, she entered the back seat of the car.

Marcus sat in the back seat, dressed in a black suit. His legs were casually crossed as he leaned against the seat, looking at the tablet.

He merely glanced at Everly as she got in the car before saying to the driver, "Let's go."

"Marcus, where are we going?" Everly inquired.

"We're going to Reinland Hospital to take a blood sample before running a paternity test," Marcus explained before taking a contract from the seat pocket in front of him and handing it to Everly.

"This is the contract. If there's no issue, go ahead and sign it."

Everly gulped. "Alright, let me have a look first."

Half an hour later, they arrived at Reinland Hospital's parking lot, where a nurse was already waiting for them.

After Everly handed the signed contract to Marcus, the nurse came over to the car and guided her through the staff passage to get her blood drawn. After that, the nurse led Everly to the director's office before walking away.

Aside from Augustus and Camille, who was in jail, everyone else from the Chime family was present in the office. Everyone seemed to have different opinions about the situation, and the atmosphere was rather tense.
