Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 689

Everly felt delighted to hear this and couldn't help but lift her head proudly. She had sacrificed so much for this moment.

"Wow! Don't forget about us if you marry into the Killian family, Everly!"

"Marrying Mr. Bernard means you'll become the future lady of the Killian family. How lucky!"

"I'm so envious of you!"

The women chimed in, making Everly feel she was on cloud nine and would be marrying Bernard tomorrow.

"Stop teasing me." She pretended to be shy. "Even though Mr. Bernard seems cold, he's very gentle and caring in private. I'd be more than happy to marry him."

"You might be willing, but Mr. Bernard probably won't be thrilled about becoming a stepfather to your child!" a cold voice suddenly interrupted.

Everly froze when she heard that familiar voice. The group turned around to see Hera, who had arrived unnoticed.

With her long hair tied up high, she wore a collared vintage black dress and looked surprisingly good despite not showing any skin.

"Stepfather? Child?"

"Is Everly pregnant? She doesn't even look that far along. Is her private life that messy?"

"She's pregnant yet still wants to marry Mr. Bernard? Who does she think she is?"

Everly wanted nothing more than to tear Hera apart.

But she had learned from her experiences and knew better than to lose her composure and confront Hera in front of everyone.

"Hera, I understand that my return to the Chime family must have hurt you. You set me up last time, and I forgive you for that. But you can't accuse me of this..." She turned her hatred into tears, her eyes brimming with sorrow.

Hera was amused and wanted to know what other stories Everly could come up with.

"Wow, what a good actress!" A cheerful male voice chirped. Everly was about to continue her act, but hearing the familiar voice made her tremble and shut her mouth.
