"Yeah, my friend isn't feeling well, and it's rather inconvenient for him to leave the house. So, | have to keep making visits," Everly

made up an excuse with a nod.

"Everly, are you dating someone?" Catherine asked. Everly usually had the sexcuses every tshe 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 tis right, you can bring him back here and

introduce him to everyone."

Everly felt slightly guilty. "Sure."

After leaving the clinic, Everly went hand changed into a light yellow dress. She even put on slight 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, lethave 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 cover 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 Chfamily was present in the office. Everyone seemed

to have different opinions about the situation, and the atmosphere was rather tense.

The sight of Everly entering the office made Jessica ask Philip with reddened eyes.

"Do we really have to do this? Camille is already in prison. As long as she's a Chime, the guards there won't make things too tough

for her. If we announce to the public that she's not a Chime, won't she struggle for the rest of her days?"

Philip said nothing, but Priscilla exclaimed aggressively, "If she hadn't been so vain back then, would we have ended up where we

are today?"

Although they had cut ties with Camille back then and allowed her to go to prison for the consequences of her actions, the incident

still left a stain on the Chfamily's reputation.

The stain had caused the shares of ChPharmaceutical to continue plummeting. Theirpetitors used the scandal to destroy

the Chimes’ reputation even further.

Philip had racked his brain toe up with a solution for the problem. He even engaged in various PR strategies, but the results

were not to his liking.

Besides, many evenpared them to Youngworth Miracle Clinic, which seemed capable of healing all kinds of illnesses, in

Jedburgh. For the first tin a century, the Chfamily's reputation had hit rock bottom.

In the end, Priscilla was the one who cup with this crazy plan by referring to the Hera-and-Giselle fiasco at the Killian family,

which becsensationalized news stago.

The Chimes wanted to make a public announcement that Camille was actually adopted, and Everly was the true daughter of the

Chfamily.

"Since we've already cut ties with her, we should go all the way. This will be her last contribution to the Chfamily!" Philip slowly

answered.

Jessica shook her head, unable to accept that reason. "No! Aren't there any other ways?"

"This is the best way. Not only can we salvage our ruined reputation, but we can also take revenge for Camille as well!" Philip

Everly was one of the best herbalists in Jedburgh, and she was also Youngworth Miracle Clinic's right-hand woman.

Youngworth Miracle Clinic usually administered acupuncture and helped prepare medicinal meals as part of their treatment for

their patients. These two usually went hand in hand.

If Everly stood on the Chimes’ side, that would be a big blow to Youngworth Miracle Clinic.

Moreover, Everly had requested their help before, wanting them to set her up with Bernard. It just so happened that the Chime

family did not want to give up on their marriage alliance with the Killians. Thus, Priscilla contacted Linda.
