Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 782

Everly looked at Hera's hand reaching toward her in fear. Thinking Hera was about to strangle her, she quickly backed away. "What are you doing?"

Hera plucked the bank card from her hand. "Get out!"

Everly stared at the card that was just taken from her as if her life had been snatched away. She was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

She had learned her lesson after the incident with the herbs and knew she was no match for Hera, especially now that she was injured. A confrontation was out of the question.

Everly had no choice but to leave the clinic.

Catherine stepped forward and tugged at Hera's sleeve. "I'm sorry, Hera. It's my fault for being too soft-hearted. I saw her crying, and she seemed like she was sincerely apologizing, so I believed her..."

Hera clucked her tongue at Catherine's guilty expression and handed the bank card back to her. "If she truly felt guilty, she wouldn't have come to ask you for money."

Catherine was at a loss for words. Thinking back to Everly's visit, she realized that she wouldn't have noticed Everly's deception if not for Hera's intervention. Her acting had been so good, even better than Giselle's, making it hard to distinguish truth from lies. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble again..."

"Alright, just be more careful next time." Hera's expression softened as she saw Catherine's remorseful look. "Have you had lunch yet?"

Before Catherine could answer, her stomach growled.

Hera chuckled helplessly and softened her tone. "There's a nice restaurant nearby. Let's go there together, okay?"

"Okay." Catherine nodded.

Hera helped clean up the medical waste, washed the tools, and placed them in the sterilizer. Once they finished, they saw Marriott arriving with a worried look.
