Everly's heart skipped a beat as she stopped in her tracks. "What did you see?"
"I saw you getting out of Marcus' car," Wayne confessed. "Why were you with him?"
The fact that Camille had posed as Hera and treated people under a false nput Wayne at odds with the Chfamily. And ever
since Hera exposed Camille's identity, the Chfamily had been openly against Youngworth Miracle Clinic.
Fortunately, the clinic's reputation remained due to Hera's and Catherine's exceptional medical skills.
However, Priscilla had gone to the clinic to make sarcastic remarks to Catherine, which deepened Wayne's dislike for the Chime
family. Despite being one of the four influential families, their behavior was despicable.
Wayne couldn't accept seeing Everly with Marcus, and his tone grew harsher.

"l..." Everly bit her lip as she avoided Wayne's gaze guiltily. "He just wanted sadvice on herbs."
"You're still consulting them after everything the Chfamily has done to Hera and Mrs. Jones? How could you betray Hera and
Mrs. Jones like that?" Wayne reprimanded her.
Everly immediately grabbed his arm. "Wayne, please don't tell Hera about this, okay? She'll fireif she finds out. | don't want to

Seeing her so quick to admit her mistake, Wayne's gaze softened. "Promiseyou won't contact them and you'll stay focused on
working for Hera. If you do that, | won't tell her about tonight."
Everly felt a surge of frustration at this. She was Wayne's sister, yet he favored Hera over her.
But the Chfamily's offer intrigued her, and she knew that everything would be ruined if Hera found out. To keep Wayne from
telling Hera, Everly quickly promised, "I promise."
Wayne sighed in relief. "Alright, let's go home. Mrs. Jones is probably asleep by now."
Over the next few days, Hera spent her days assisting Catherine with patients and her nights analyzing the voice from the

She didn't ask Wayne to drive her but instead called for a cab, arriving at the Killian residence at 1:50 pm.
This was her second visit since she becan adult. The first twas because of Aurora, and she cand left just as quickly.
This time, Rhett invited her over.
The walls and the grand gate overlapped with her childhood memories. The place felt so familiar yet different.
"Who are you? And who are you looking for?" asked the guard.
Hera replied, "I'm Hera Youngworth. And I'm here to see Rhett."
Rhett had informed the guard in advance, so upon hearing her name, the guard immediately opened the gate and let her in.
"Please wait a moment, Ms. Youngworth. I'll bring the car around," the guard said.
