Under the Heiress' Facade

“Giselle “Catherine recognized Giselle too, but before she could finish speaking, she was cut off. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why are you here!” Giselle demanded.

Seeing that the two knew each other, the mald spoke up, “Ms. Everett, do you know her? This lady is

“No need for introductions. You can go,” Giselle interrupted sharply.

The maid was caught off guard and glanced at Giselle. Wasn’t Giselle always polite when she came before? What was going on today?

Giselle, worried about being seen, pulled Catherine to the backyard.

“Did Hera send you?” she asked aggressively

“No.” Catherine noticed Giselle’s displeasure and frowned. “Do you have a disagreement with Herie?”

Catherine affectionately referred to Hera as “Here.”

“You’re still insisting that Hera didn’t send you!” Giselle was feeling uneasy because of Queenie’s attitude. With nobody around, she dropped her pretense and poked Catherine’s chest with her finger

“Hera cheated on the exam. She disgraced the Everett family and almost caused us to go bankrupt! Isn’t that enough? Does she want you to expose the Everett family’s lies and nuin us completely?”

“Cheating on the exam? With Hera’s intelligence, does she really need to cheat? And could her cheating on the exam almost bankrupt the Everett family?” Catherine thought to

bersell

But Catherine gleaned a key piece of information. Heta wasn’t doing well after returning to the Everett family.

Although they occasionally contacted each other, they mostly talked about alternative medicine. Hera never shared anything negative about her life with the Everett family.

Now it seemed that Hera just didn’t want her to worry, which was why she kept silent. Hera was too considerate sometimes, which made Catherine heartbroken.

“What lies? Catherine asked with a stem expression.

*Stop taking it! She just wants to reclaim her position as the Everett family’s heiress and doesn’t want to be an adopted daughter anymore, right?” Giselle wasn’t afraid of Catherine spreading gossip.

She sneered, “Even if she regains that position, the Gaskell family won’t accept a country bumplin as their daughter–in–law. Isn’t that clear from what zyler said at the banquet? His heart belongs to me!

“You guys better stop these tricks! Exposing the Everett family’s secrets won’t benefit anyone. Just leave!”

Catherine was stunned by Giselle’s words and stood still, allowing Giselle to poke her chest. Did the Everett family take Hera back just to publicly announce she was an adopted

daughter?

Even if Hera wasn’t her biological granddaughter, she was still her precious grandchild whom she had raised with her own hands! If it weren’t for Hera back then, she might not have been able to bear the pain of losing her own daughter.

Yet, they actually treated Hera like this!

If Catherine hadn’t come here, she might never have known how the Everetts were treating Hera

“How could you snatch her position and refuse to give it back! Catherine gripped Giselle’s wrist firmly

“Isnatched her position? This was my position in the first place!” Giselle tried to shake off her hand but couldn‘

“You couldn’t even identify the right child 17 years ago. Doesn’t that mean I’m destined to be the Everett family’s heiress? I’ll always be the heiress of the Everett family! Let me Pol

Though Catherine was aged, she was surprisingly strong and tightly gripped Giselle’s wrist.

Giselle grew furious and raised her other hand to deliver a slap to Catherine’s face.

The sharp sound of the slap resonated in the backyard, Giselle’s head jolted to the side while the slap rang in her ears. If her other hand hadn’t been restrained just now, she might have stumbled from the force of the slip

“Herie..“Catherine looked at Hera, who emitted an icy demeanor,

, momentarily stunned.

It was the first time she had seen Hera kike this.

After a moment, Giselle turned back with her hand covering her swollen face. Her eyes were flaming with anger. “Hera, how dare you
