Under the Heiress' Facade



"Come, come, my friends. This is my precious granddaughter's clinic, Forever Clinic. Her medicine works like magic. I only had it for three days, and my high blood pressure and cholesterol level have gone down with no side effects," Priscilla introduced to her friends proudly.

When they passed by the herb display cab, one of them stopped. "Wait, aren't these the four herbs Dr. Shadow is looking for?"

Priscilla could tell that Everly was displaying those four herbs in such a conspicuous place on purpose to showcase her capabilities.

She was a bit cunning, but Priscilla liked it.

"Yes, do you know herbs as well?"

The wealthy lady answered, "Everyone's been talking about Dr. Shadow looking for herbs. I saw the photos online too. I heard that their prices have skyrocketed too. You're really something, Everly. Not even Dr. Shadow managed to buy these herbs, but you managed to do it!"

Everly linked arms with Priscilla, smiling sweetly. It's all thanks to Grandma's support. Thank you, Grandma."

As soon as she said that, Priscilla's friends understood the situation instantly.

They had been friends for decades, so they were aware that Catherine was Augustus' first love and Priscilla's rival!

Priscilla fell for Augustus when she was in university, but he liked Catherine at that time.

Unfortunately, the Chime family broke the poor couple apart because of Catherine's humble family background. Then, the Chimes paired him up with Priscilla.

Even though Priscilla's dream came true, Augustus could never forget about Catherine. Priscilla's friends knew of that.

The couple had many fights because of Catherine, so it was natural for Priscilla to resent Catherine.

After Catherine opened Youngworth Miracle Clinic in Jedburgh with Hera, they became competitors. Younworth Miracle Clinic even caused Chime Pharmaciteucal's stock price to fall for a period.

Therefore, it was no surprise that Catherine held grudges.

Priscilla silently approved of Everly's decision to display the four herbs in the obvious corner. This was a way to overpower Youngworth Miracle Clinic.

"Everly is impressive. Youngworth

Miracle Clinic was able to rise

because of her medicine. Now, she

has decided to run her own

business, and Youngworth Miracle

Clinics temporarily closed for

business because they've run out of

herbs."

"I know, right? So what if it's Dr. Youngworth and Dr. Shadow running Youngworth Miracle Clinic? All they know is to tend to patients. They still need Everly to make medicine."

"Oh, come on! Don't compare that little clinic to Chime Pharmaceutical. The Chime family has been in the medical field for over a century. bet Dr. Shadow will visit here just to beg Everly to sell her these herbs. She can't survive without the Chime family!"

Priscilla's friends said exactly what she wanted to hear, belittling Catherine and Hera and then praising Everly.

Hearing that pricked Everly's guilty conscience.

Others might not know, but she

knew her skills very well. Hera knew

how to make the medicine Everly

made. Hera was just a lazy bum who didn't want to spend time making medicine.

Everly simply took advantage of Hera's character.

Meanwhile, Priscilla was wreathed in smiles upon hearing the shower of praises. She loved it.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Right then, a nurse came over. "Ms. Chime, an old woman is looking for you."

Everly's eyes lit up at that.

She leaned in and whispered into Priscilla's ear, "Grandma, let's go to the hall. I have something interesting to show you."

Priscilla had a guess on what it would be, and she called her friends to come along.

The old woman, who was looking for Everly, was indeed Catherine!

Priscilla felt a pang of jealousy when she saw Catherine in a snug dress, looking spirited and elegant.
