Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 13
Before Walter could follow Evangeline, however, Trey called out to him."Hold it right there, boy! I've got a bone to pick with you!"Walter stopped and leaned against the door frame, though he looked a bit pale. "What's up?""What's with the scowl? If it wasn't for my quick thinking, do you think you'd have been able to keep Evie around? You don't even know what her grandpa looks like. Some husband you are!""I don't need your advice, and frankly, I don't care to know," Walter snapped back, his frown deepening and a coldness creeping into his gaze."Go on, keep playing the tough guy! Evie's poured her heart into this family, and you? You've been nothing but a headache. I want that mother and daughter gone from downstairs, and don't you dare bring me more problems in the new year!"Walter's lips were a tight line, his face an icy mask. Then, with a crease in his brow, he asked, "You're hiding something about Evangeline's grandpa from me, aren't you?"They had always said he was

Walter's hot breath cascaded down Evangeline's neck, his chest pounding against her bare back."So you're just going to walk out? Is streaking your thing now?"She would rather go naked than stay?Evangeline fought back. "Let go! You're the one who told me to undress, or do you think I should strip off the last two pieces as well?"She held back her feelings, her voice low and tense, "Walter, do you have any idea how despicable you are?"Walter's face was drawn tight, the friction between them making him uncomfortable. He clenched his jaw and kept his composure.Then, he picked up a trench coat from the pile of discarded clothes and draped it over her shoulders from behind."Go ahead and leave if that's what you want. Nobody's stopping you. Once you're out that door, though, you can forget about the Gordon family's shares!"Evangeline turned, her fiery gaze blazing beneath a tangle of hair. "Are you out of your mind? We're getting a divorce and splitting assets. Those shares we

The bedroom door stood closed before Julia. She knocked tentatively, only to be met with Walter's gruff voice from within."Leave me alone."The rebuff startled Julia, but she did not give up. "Walt, it's me, Julia. Can I come in?"Her voice was a soft whisper in the tense silence.Inside, Walter broodingly sat on the couch with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He was the picture of brooding, his eyes fixed on the window where he had last seen Evangeline's retreating figure.No answer came.With a deep breath, Julia smoothed her skirt and pushed the door open.Chaos greeted her. The bedroom was in disarray, Evangeline's clothes strewn about as if in the wake of a storm. Walter lounged on the couch by the window, his profile a mask of icy detachment.He was the epitome of allure, his very presence a siren call of raw magnetism that kept others at bay—a trait she found utterly captivating.However, as she stepped forward, Walter's gaze snapped to her. His voice was a low rumb

Before Evangeline could get a word in, Roslyn's voice crackled through the phone, fiery and fierce."Last night's drama? I've heard it all. That jerk Walter has quite the audacity, alright! You're about to kick him to the curb, and he's got the nerve to say you can't see other guys? The nerve!"Roslyn's tirade against Walter was relentless, and she barely paused for air. "Evie, don't waste your tears on that loser. The world's full of decent guys. So what if you want to date a younger guy? If Walter's got a problem with it, we'll just find you a whole lineup!"'That might be overkill,' thought Evangeline. Nevertheless, the rant did take the edge off her mood.Without giving Evangeline a chance to chime in, Roslyn barreled on. "Where are you? Leave tonight to me. I'm throwing you a singles bash. Sure, finding someone richer or hotter than Walter might be tough, but there's a sea of guys who are sweeter and know how to treat a woman right. Be at Kronovia Royale Pub at eight, and let'

Julia, having heard of Walter's location, hurried to the pub with her friends in tow. She was Walter's ex-girlfriend, and their recent reunion had rekindled old flames.She could not let another opportunity slip through her fingers, not after the one she missed with the Gordons. She had taken extra care with her appearance, donning a white, flower-dotted dress that flared like a pristine lotus, a stark contrast to the pub's vibe."Check out the lady in red over there. Isn't that Roslyn, the pop queen?" a friend whispered to Julia, nodding toward the glamorous figure in the distance.It was difficult not to notice Roslyn, surrounded by a dazzling entourage of gorgeous men and women."Why is she everywhere, haunting us like a bad penny?" Julia muttered, spotting Evangeline sipping drinks with Roslyn."Isn't that your sister Evangeline with Roslyn?" someone asked, recognizing her. "How on earth is she rubbing elbows with a star like Roslyn? She's just a country girl, isn't she?"Jul

The two sides were a whirlwind of flying hair and ripped clothing, the fight heating up by the second. Evangeline, emboldened by the booze, dove into the fray. Roslyn had her back, and she was not about to let her down.The commotion in the bar drew a crowd of rubberneckers in no time.While bar fights and disputes were common, they were rare at Kronovia Royale Pub. After all, it attracted influential figures, and any altercation there was scrutinized for its potential repercussions.Caden had planned a laid-back evening with Walter, hoping to enjoy some drinks and the company of lovely ladies, pouring out their hearts. However, Walter was more interested in sulking over his drink, a total killjoy.The other side of the hall was in utter disarray. Word had it that the celebrity Roslyn was in a tussle, and Caden could not resist the urge to check it out.He was back before long."Snap out of it, yo! The brawl over there involves Evie-Baby and your so-called new flame." Caden jostl

Julia's friends, bolstered by Walter's arrival, found a renewed sense of confidence.Evangeline remained silent."Walt!" Julia's voice dripped with sweetness as she preempted any other conversation. She ran her fingers through her hair, and tears streamed down her face in gratitude for her timely rescue."I don't know what I've done wrong, but my sister and her friends just attacked us. Look at my face—it's all swollen."To be attacked twice in one day…This time, away from the Gordon estate, Julia was determined not to let Evangeline get away with it.Julia's tears were a portrait of distress, though the slap marks on her face lent a touch of the absurd to her plight.Walter stared at Julia's bruised cheek before glaring at Evangeline icily.It was bad enough Evangeline had struck him, but she was even cavorting with young men too? They were not even divorced yet, and she was already so impatient!Taking in her flawless makeup and the sultry dress that was a far cry from anyt

Just then, the wail of police sirens pierced the air outside.Evangeline laughed, standing amid the glow of neon lights that cut through the night.A fleeting look of loneliness crossed her face only when Walter had taken Julia away, leaving her fate to the cops. When she made her way to the station, however, she showed no fear.She looked tranquil, her eyes calm and kind as she faced Ruby, the woman across from her."Pretty brave of you, calling the cops on me.""Ha! I'm not the only one who wants you locked up; Mr. Walter Gordon does too. You think you can hurt Julia and get away with it? A nobody from the sticks trying to outshine Julia? You lay a finger on her, and Mr. Walter Gordon will make sure you won't know what hit you.""Alright, then. Remember what you said. Just don't end up regretting them."That was when the police showed up."Nobody's leaving. Everyone here, you're all coming back to the station with me."Evangeline did not resist. She simply smiled at the offi

A soft cough broke the silence. Walter, unwilling to wait any longer, spoke with a hint of self-mockery, "I know you don't want to talk to me, nor do you want to hear my voice. If it weren't something important, I wouldn't have called."His explanation struck a chord in Evangeline's heart. She frowned in confusion and said, "If it's important, then just get to the point, okay?"She hated herself for being like this.She had told herself countless times that Walter was nothing more than a stranger, someone completely unrelated to her life.All that, and every single time, her emotions were swayed by his every move, leaving her torn between resentment over her lack of resolve and her inability to stop being affected by him.Walter's words brought Evangeline to the brink of an emotional outburst, reminding him of what David had said, 'Don't worry if a woman gets mad at you. Women only lose their temper over things they care about.'In that case, he should be glad that he still had t

Yale made his decision almost instantly. "Alright, we'll help Walter. How exactly we help is up to you to figure out. I'll have people carry it out."With Yale's promise, the weight on Evangeline's heart lightened significantly.Nonetheless, at a time like this, even a casual 'stay strong' comment from her could be twisted into a weapon against Gordon Group. What could she do to restore the company's reputation?Seeing Evangeline deep in thought, Yale left her space, quietly stepping out of the room.Evangeline sat on the bed, racking her brain. She thought of several ideas, but her courage, already worn thin by the fallout of this situation, crushed them before they could take shape.What could she do? What could she do?Evangeline deeply regretted her impulsive decision to post that message.Suddenly, her phone buzzed.Startled, she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the screen. Walter's name flashed across the screen.Why was he calling? Was he going to confront her
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 928
Thinking about it, Evangeline felt her heart aching.Things had already gotten this bad. If she said she acted out of good intentions, who would believe her?She forcibly smiled. "No matter my intentions, my actions only made things worse for Gordon Group."Yale, however, did not agree with her conclusion. "Who told you that?"Evangeline shook her head. "No one. I thought of it myself."She irritably ran her fingers through her hair. "I didn't think at all at the time. I just acted impulsively, and now, no matter what I do, it feels wrong..."Seeing that Evangeline was on the verge of breaking down, Yale gently patted her hand in comfort. "Listen to me, this has nothing to do with you!""How could it not? It was my problematic post—" Evangeline's eyes reddened, tears welling up as she sank deeper into her guilt.Yale firmly grasped her shoulders. "Evie, listen to me!"Gordon Group has made too many enemies in Avalon City. Those who feel they've been treated unfairly are now ta

"What?"Was that it?In such an urgent situation, their plan was to 'take it slow'? The department head could never have anticipated such a laid-back directive. Nonetheless, seeing Walter flip open a document, clearly uninterested in further discussion, he had no choice but to leave with a head full of unanswered questions.As the figure of the department head disappeared down the hallway, Walter took out his phone again. He continued scrolling through the comments on Evangeline's post, filled with wild speculations and creative interpretations that read like a collection of amusing little jokes.Still, none of this bothered him.The image Evangeline attached to her post said everything.This endearing woman genuinely wanted to use her influence to bring some positive energy to Gordon Group. Unfortunately, she underestimated the hostile forces working behind the scenes against Gordon Group.Gordon Group had been a dominant force in Avalon City for years, snatching countless oppo

Evangeline's lips twitched. She did not even know what to say anymore.Walter held the key evidence that could turn the tide for Gordon Group, but she had been worried about the company's tarnished reputation. That was why she had taken it upon herself to make a public statement in support.Roslyn's wildly imaginative theories? They were beyond comprehension."Alright, alright, Roslyn. Let's drop this topic."Despite her words, Evangeline felt a heaviness in her chest. She made her social media post to help Walter, but it seemed as though she only made things worse.If anyone was to blame, it was fate—or the uncontrollable whims of social media users, whose unpredictable minds seemed capable of concocting the wildest narratives.Meanwhile, the sensational stories released by The Bennex Corporation had pushed Gordon Group into a heated media storm. With Evangeline's post acting as a catalyst, the issue had escalated to unprecedented levels.Thanks to the social media users' overa

Evangeline could sense Roslyn's perfunctory attitude in her actions, but she did not know how to respond. After all, Roslyn's doubts were not entirely baseless.Alex and Walter shared the same bloodline. Even if their life circumstances differed, how much better could one really be than the other?As Evangeline wrestled with her mixed feelings, she heard Roslyn continuing her admonitions."Anyway, from now on, don't ever say anything to defend Gordon Group again, okay? Do you even realize how much impact your actions have? If Walter manages to whitewash his image in the public eye because of your post, wouldn't that just hand him a huge advantage?"Roslyn had a fairly good understanding of Gordon Group's troubles. However, with the filter of Walter having hurt Evangeline, she was secretly glad to see the company struggling. In her mind, she hoped it would crash entirely, forcing Walter to face some serious consequences.After all, he had been born with a silver spoon and lived a l
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 924
Roslyn's eyes widened as she spoke, her hands busy patting and checking Evangeline's face and body as if to ensure she was truly unharmed.Evangeline pushed away her overly concerned best friend and said helplessly,"Of course I'm fine! You and Celina both have things to get to. I'm just at home alone—what could happen?""You never know! That's exactly why I worry when you're by yourself!" Roslyn rolled her eyes dramatically.Evangeline had been kidnapped so many times that it had left her perpetually on edge. Any slight disturbance, and Roslyn's first instinct was to rush back and make sure Evangeline was safe.This time, Evangeline seemed more surprised than Roslyn."Roslyn, didn't you say you were going to the company to work on your new album? Why are you back so suddenly?"Hearing this, Roslyn finally found a vent for her pent-up frustration."What do you think, my little goddess? Let me ask you first—did you post that update supporting Gordon Group on your social media acc
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 923
Evangeline found a few photos in her phone's gallery, added some text, and posted them on her social media account.[As someone once part of Gordon Group, I just want to say—hang in there!]The accompanying image featured a large clenched fist with splashes of crimson above it, resembling bloodstains.Clearly, she was prepared to take a firm stand against The Bennex Corporation.Evangeline had underestimated her own influence.Within just 10 minutes of posting, her update went viral with tens of thousands of shares and an uncountable number of clicks. Her gesture of support for Gordon Group caused such a surge in traffic that the platform temporarily crashed.After struggling to log back into her account, Evangeline was overwhelmed by the flood of comments, some good and some bad.Some were shocked by her sudden reappearance.[Our Little Princess Foster finally posted! This is amazing!]Others expressed outrage over her post.[How can our beloved support Walter, that scumbag?
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 922
Some speculated that Gordon Group did not even regard the insignificant Bennex Corporation worthy of its attention.Others went further, theorizing that Gordon Group had always been a money-laundering operation. Since it had supposedly made enough, it wanted to abandon the way of crimes, using this controversy—allegedly coordinated with The Bennex Corporation—as a cover for its graceful exit.Despite the media's wild speculations, Gordon Group remained silent.Perhaps unsatisfied with the first wave of attacks, which felt like a punch against a pillow that only shook the Gordon Group's stock price slightly, The Bennex Corporation's CEO quickly launched a second offensive.…The early summer sun shone brightly, and the weather grew warmer. Those in good health had already shed their coats for T-shirts.It was a clear day with a cloudless sky, and the streets were as bustling as ever. At first glance, everything seemed just as usual. However, those with sharper perception would not
