Under the heiress facade

Chapter 780

Catherine was watching a show in the living room when the doorbell rang. The maid in the kitchen hurriedly wiped her hands dry and went to open the door.

"Hi. Who are you looking for?" the maid asked.

Everly had a mask and cap on, so the maid couldn't recognize her. After removing her mask, she asked, "Is Wayne at home?"

The maid thought Everly looked familiar, and when Everly took off the mask, she exclaimed, "Ms. Chime? What happened to you?"

Hearing the commotion, Catherine got up to see what it was all about. When her gaze fell on the person with a cap at the door, she asked, "Everly, what happened to you?"

On her way here, Everly tried thinking of something sad to make herself cry and look pitiful when she met Catherine. It came as no surprise that Catherine was at home instead of Wayne.

Everly's eyes swelled with tears as she rushed over to Catherine and put her arms around the old lady. "Mrs. Jones, I missed you so much!"

Catherine's heart broke when she saw Everly's tears. She had watched Everly grow up, after all. It was only natural that she sympathized with Everly.

"What's wrong? What happened to you? Let me take a look at your injuries." Catherine's voice was laced with worry.
