Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 138
Walter did not wait for her to respond. He pulled Evangeline back to the bed and wrapped his arm around her, holding her close.Evangeline instinctively tried to wriggle free. "I'm really tired, I don't want—"Walter's head was filled with nonsense, and she was so over it!"What do you think? I've had a long day too. You think I'm not tired? Stay still, let's just sleep."Walter loosened his grip a bit, and Evangeline found a more comfortable spot to settle into. She only relaxed completely when she saw he really was not going to do anything else.Sleeping in Walter's arms was a brand-new feeling for her, and it was... incredibly special.Her heart raced, and she could not stop the tears that welled up in her eyes.She had expected to lie awake all night, but his arms were just too cozy, radiating the perfect warmth, and sleep came without asking.When Evangeline woke up, the morning was well underway.She bolted upright in bed to find the other side cold and empty. Walter mus

"What's up with my mouth?"Walter, caught in the middle of his culinary endeavors, stopped and glanced at her face. "I couldn't help myself."He said it with such nonchalance. It was as if he were commenting on the weather, not admitting to a stolen kiss.Then, without missing a beat, he went right back to his cooking.Evangeline just stood there, utterly flabbergasted.Walter's carefree attitude was really getting under her skin!"You're the worst. Look at what you've done to me! How am I supposed to show my face outside?"She stormed up to Walter, ready to give him a piece of her mind.She did not see it coming.As she stood there, Walter just leaned in, trapping her against the wall.Evangeline's eyes went wide. Was she... just pinned against the wall?"And let's not forget, you grabbed me out of nowhere last night, I almost had a major scandal on my hands!""That's a lie!"Evangeline tried to argue back, but Walter's hand was suddenly over her mouth.His voice was low

Six dishes and one soup, all made by Walter himself.Evangeline stared at the feast before her, utterly gobsmacked.Who would have guessed that the high-and-mighty young master of the Gordon family could whip up a storm in the kitchen?Walter noticed Evangeline spacing out again, her food untouched, and he reached over to load up her plate. "You've got to eat up if you're thinking about kids. You can't make a baby if you're malnourished."Evangeline stared at the braised vegetables in her bowl.Seriously? Was Walter on a mission to fatten her up for baby-making?Then, she heard him add, "We should swing by the hospital later for a full check-up. If all's well, we can start planning for a little one."Before Evangeline could even process this, her phone buzzed to life. It was Cole calling."Evie, Asher is on his way to Crystal Waters House to fetch you. You're due for a pre-baby doctor's visit," he said.With Trey and Walter watching, Evangeline's toes curled in embarrassment.

Evangeline was practically squirming as she listened to the doctor's instructions.The doctor was so thorough that she covered everything down to the exact posture. She stopped just short of giving a play-by-play on how to get it on.While Evangeline was busy trying not to curl up from embarrassment, Walter did not even bat an eyelash. Even with the doctor diving into super private stuff, the guy did not so much as blush. Seriously?This pre-baby appointment was turning into an epic disaster.The second the doctor wrapped up, Evangeline bolted like her shoes were on fire.Walking down the hospital corridor, Evangeline and Walter were a few steps apart. They were kind of a big deal, and their presence set off a buzz among the onlookers.As Evangeline walked by, she caught a snippet of conversation from a couple of gossiping doctors and nurses."Isn't that Mr. Walter Gordon of Gordon Group? Some numbskull must've spread a dumb rumor about him being impotent. He looks perfectly cap

The pressure was light, almost delicate, yet it bore down on Walter's arm with an unexpected force.Walter had no grounds to hold Evangeline back, but the thought of that guy back at the office, the one with the suave aura and those eyes full of unspoken words whenever they landed on Evangeline, sent a shadow across Walter's face.Caught off guard for just a split second, his arm gave way under her gentle insistence. Evangeline turned, her movements fluid and graceful, and slipped into her car. With a swift start, the vehicle darted away, leaving nothing but a trail of dust.Was Evangeline really in such a rush to get back? Was this Hank guy so important that she could not stay away?Walter spun to find his assistant, David, already at his side."Mr. Walter Gordon, heading back to the office?" Walter had told David earlier that he would dedicate the whole day to his wife's medical appointment.He had not expected her to leave the hospital so soon, though.Walter shot David a coo

"Isn't drinking alone just boring? Let's knock a few back together, what do you say?"If Walter thought she was just being friendly before, he was sure at this moment that she was buttering him up."Let's do it." He grabbed his glass and took a swig, eager to see what kind of game she was playing.As she settled in across from him, unnoticed, a dude in baggy grey threads slipped out of the bar.Cut to Evangeline, deep in business talk with Hank, when her phone buzzed."Walter's at the Kronovia Royale Pub, knocking back a few."Evangeline smirked. "Big surprise. Since when is Walter hitting a bar news?"She was not a regular at those chaotic watering holes, but it seemed like every time she did show up, Walter was there too. The guy must have been a fixture."Guess what? That B-lister Felicia Edmonds is there too..."The moment the words were said, Evangeline's expression turned icy.It was bad enough that Walter hit the bars, but to find out he was fooling around, too?They

Walter was already in a foul mood, and some jerk had come looking to pick a fight? He was not about to turn down an opportunity to blow off some steam.He was about to get up when a flash of red stepped in front of him."This is my fault. Please don't hurt him!"Walter did a double-take. It was the red-dressed woman who had tried to flirt with him earlier and whom he had brushed off. All of a sudden, she was standing there, defending him?"You?"The brute burst into laughter. "Look at you, trying to play the hero!"The slap was coming. The woman did not flinch, ready to take the hit head-on.Walter's eyes were glued to the scene before him, his heart aching as he watched the woman take hit after hit. Just as he was about to jump in and stop it—Out of nowhere, a round of applause with a beat broke through the tension.The eagerly watching crowd parted like the Red Sea, making way for Evangeline. She strutted through in sky-high heels and a crisp white suit, commanding everyone

Just his luck, out for a drink and he bumped into her. She had brought a date, it seemed.Evangeline let out a cold laugh, wrapped her arms around herself, and slouched comfortably into the sofa. "What a question, Mr. Walter Gordon. People hit up bars for a good time, not for... other services, right?"Evangeline's eyes locked onto Felicia with a look that screamed volumes, and everyone in the room caught the drift in a heartbeat."Never would've guessed the Foster family's darling princess was into this sort of thing," remarked Walter nonchalantly.The tension between them could have sparked a duel, and there stood Felicia, smack in the middle, the picture of discomfort.She turned to Evangeline, her voice barely above a whisper, "Ms. Evangeline, please, you've got it all wrong. Mr. Walter Gordon just saw some creep hassling me and stepped in. There's nothing shady going on; we're totally honest…"Tears brimmed in Felicia's eyes as she spoke. Walter, however, cut her off before

"What do you plan to do next?" Evangeline pressed, her mind spinning with ideas.Southern Crownlands would inevitably seek accountability; only then could the Gordon Group avoid the inevitable losses from the diamond case. Once the financial burden was lifted, the company would have the resources to deal with The Bennex Corporation.That was her assumption.Walter, however, never acted according to conventional wisdom, leaving her unsure of his next move."Nothing. I'll stay silent," he replied calmly.Gordon Group's reputation had already taken a hit. Any statement from him might not salvage the situation and could even be seen as a guilty conscience.He was not interested in pointless efforts that would only invite more criticism.Given the company's state, the only way to make a comeback was to let the negative news reach a tipping point before delivering a stunning reversal. Of course, one misstep could easily set the company's recovery back three to five years.As Walter p

"Heh..."Evangeline let out a cold laugh. Her mouth moved faster than her brain as she remarked, "Truly, we're a perfect pair. I sent my own father to prison, and you sent your own brother in as well..."Conflicted, Walter ran his fingers through his hair. "I had no choice. He's done far too much."If he had not taken action, not only would Evangeline's suffering have been for nothing, but Gordon Group would have been destroyed too.At that point, Walter would not have even had a place to stand, let alone care for the ailing Trey in bed.So many factors piled on top of one another. Even though he felt compassion, he had no choice but to harden his heart and hand Alex over.Evangeline had never seen Walter like this before. To her, he had always been proud, confident, and untouchable—someone who would never bow to anything or anyone.Watching him grip his hair in anguish, she could not help but feel moved."It's done. Since you've made your choice, don't regret it. There's no ro

As she sipped her coffee, Evangeline was deep in thought. She tried to figure out a topic that could naturally steer the conversation toward what she truly cared about.Walter, on the other hand, felt ignored.The stark contrast left him uncomfortable, but since he was the one who had invited Evangeline, he could not exactly complain.The silence as they each focused on their coffee grew increasingly awkward. Summoning his courage, Walter attempted to break it."How have you been, Evangeline?"The last time he had seen her was when he rescued her from Alex's clutches.Evangeline had been forced to take an unknown drug, leaving her feverish and burning up. However, because something urgent had happened at Gordon Group, Walter was forced to leave the Foster family's residence and deal with the crisis.Thinking back to how much Evangeline had suffered without him by her side filled Walter with guilt."I've been fine," replied Evangeline without a second thought.When Alex had dru

The work at the company had been exhausting. After the final meeting and deployment were arranged, Walter was dog-tired.Nonetheless, as he once again determined the company's fate, he felt compelled to come to the hospital. He knew he should not burden a bedridden elderly man with this kind of pressure. Thus, he simply wanted to come and check on Trey, to show concern for his condition.Walter had not expected to run into Evangeline in the hospital room.Amid the surprise, it was happiness that triumphed over all thoughts. He forgot the exhaustion from working nonstop for hours. All he could think of was spending more time with Evangeline, just a little longer.Evangeline pointed to the parking lot in the distance, politely rejecting him."I drove here. My ride is over there."Anyone who could drive knew how convenient it was to be alone in a car. Smart as Walter was, how could he not understand Evangeline's refusal?Even so, his desires got the better of him, and he did not wan

Aria was stunned for a moment but quickly regained her composure. "Is it a special day or something? Not only is Evie home, but Walter is here, too. Now we're all here together! What a lively family reunion."Walter slowly walked into the room.Since Evangeline was sitting, he had to stand by the side.Trey felt more giddy when he saw Walter entering.Walter immediately understood Trey and quickly said, "Everything at home is fine, Grandpa. You don't need to worry. Just focus on getting better here."Trey nodded, mumbling, "The company…""The company is fine, too. Don't you trust that Alex will take care of the company? And I wasn't just loitering around after I left the company. I've been doing things I like, living quite freely!" Walter spoke lightly, his smile so bright that it was almost blinding.If Evangeline had not seen the news that had caused such a huge stir, she might have believed what Walter said.When did Walter become such a good actor?Evangeline was inwardly

Evangeline quickly walked over and helped Aria to her feet, concerned as she asked, "Mrs. Gordon, what's wrong? Is it... Is it about Grandpa Trey?"Aria looked at the young face in front of her, and only then did she realize that it was Evangeline."I'm not seeing things, am I? Evie, is it really you?" Aria wiped her eyes in disbelief, her voice tinged with surprise.Before Evangeline could respond, Aria grabbed her hand. "You're here to see Grandpa Trey, right? He's inside, still sleeping. He hasn't been feeling well lately and just keeps sleeping. I'll wake him for you!"Aria stepped toward the door, but Evangeline, upon hearing that Trey was sleeping, quickly stopped her. "Let's not wake him now. I just came to visit."Evangeline handed the gift in her hand to Aria."How can that be?"Aria took the gift and quickly replied, "You don't know this, but he lies in bed every day just hoping someone will talk to him. Walter and the others are too busy to visit. Now that you're here

Evangeline stiffened, wiping away the tears in her eyes and pushing away Roslyn's embrace."Gordon Group is under Alex's control. Why should I be worried about Walter?"Although Roslyn knew Evangeline was just being stubborn, she did not want to argue with her."Okay, okay, you're not worried about him. But what about Trey? He's in the hospital now, and we don't even know his condition. Why not visit him?"Evangeline's gaze froze.Ever since Trey fell seriously ill, she had only seen him once and had not visited since. The old man was getting on in years; every visit might be one less time she could see him. She might have severed ties with Walter, but Trey was like her own grandfather. How could she bear not to check on him since he was in such a state?Even so…"What if I run into…"Trey was Walter's grandfather. What if she showed up and found Walter there, caring for him? Would that not be awkward?Roslyn patted the back of her hand, urging her to relax. "If I hadn't see

When Walter left the company, David resigned as well. With Walter back, the likelihood of David returning was high. At that time, where would Emma's position be?Walter immediately noticed Emma's worry. "Of course Mr. Zimmer will come back, but he is seriously injured right now and can't return for the time being. Once he recovers, he'll have his place. Just focus on your work."Emma nodded, understanding his words. "So what should we do next? The press conference by The Bennex Corporation is about to start."She glanced at the time; there was still an hour before the conference began."Should we just wait for them to make their move and not respond at all?"The issue The Bennex Corporation exposed at the press conference was a devastating blow to Gordon Group.Although the Gordon Group had a solution, the public did not know that, and it still impacted their reputation. A slight mistake could lead to irreversible damage!Walter stroked his chin. "No need for a response, but whe

"I will handle both matters properly and provide a clear explanation to all shareholders within a week."Walter's working style had always been swift and decisive. With just a few words, he managed to soothe the shareholders' concerns.As soon as he finished, the room erupted in thunderous applause. Praise followed closely behind, ringing out alongside the clapping.This was exactly the effect Walter had intended. With Alex gone and Walter regaining control of the company's management, the shareholders were fully convinced and showed no dissatisfaction.The meeting concluded.Walter was the first to return to his office.Unexpectedly, Emma followed him in without waiting for instructions.After entering the office, she stood across from his desk with her head lowered, looking hesitant as though struggling to find the words to speak.The sight annoyed Walter, and he decided to break the silence. "Ms. Carter, is there something you want to say?"Ever since discovering that Emma
