Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 185
This was not about love.Evangeline's heart ached for Alex, who had to give up his booming career to teach overseas. She felt for him, having lost the use of his legs for reasons unknown, leaving him bound to a wheelchair.What hurt her most was seeing Alex, such a good-hearted guy, get trashed by his own kin—just because he got along well with her, his in-law!Why did Alex, a guy who was supposed to shine bright, have to have a lowlife like Walter for a relative?Walter felt like he had been stabbed in the heart, the pain so sharp that he could barely get his words out.He just could not see what was so special about Alex. They had the same face, so why did Evangeline choose Alex and not him?He was seething with rage.He wanted to lash out, to break things, to use brute force to make Evangeline fall in line.Then he remembered the hurt he had caused her, and his fists clenched even harder."Great. After we get divorced, you can go ahead and pity whoever you want—it won't be

Evangeline rolled her eyes. 'Not bad'? More like 'drop-dead gorgeous.'Alex's dress was all soft and sweet, perfect for a demure debutante at a birthday bash. Evangeline was not one for soft and sweet. Walter's choice, with its regal elegance and a hint of sass, seemed like it was made just for her.Not that she had ever admitted it moved her.With Walter's influence and power, commissioning a custom dress was as easy as flashing cash and rattling off his measurements. Someone else would do the legwork.He would just sit back and pick his favorite from a lineup of designs…Why would someone like Walter ever put his heart into something for her?With that thought, a wave of bittersweet resignation washed over Evangeline."Come on, Evangeline, it's time to see things for what they are. No point in denying the obvious."Walter casually smoothed out the folds in Evangeline's dress with one hand, while with the other, he produced a small box he had tossed aside earlier and handed it

Evangeline went to slide the bracelet off, but Walter's hand gently stopped her."It's a Gordon family treasure. Passing it to you was Grandpa Trey's last wish. Just keep it, for his peace of mind, okay?"The bracelet was icy to the touch, but somehow, it felt like it carried a bit of Trey's warmth with it.Evangeline gazed at the bracelet circling her wrist, a wave of sadness washing over her. Trey had always been a rock, rooting for her and Walter to make it work. When it came to love though, what good was an old man's blessing?She was not meant to be a Gordon bride, and trying to force it was just a waste of time. The bracelet felt out of place on her arm, like a borrowed treasure she would have to give back one day. It was a gift from Trey, so she would wear it a little longer, planning to return it when the time was right.She could not tell if it was all in her head, but she really dug Walter's style tips. Checking herself out in the mirror, Evangeline could not help but sm

Minnie gave Walter a wave, her smile lighting up the room like a sunflower in full bloom.Walter's eyes flickered with a hint of darkness, but he quickly flashed a killer smile. "Yeah, it's funny how that works. If I didn't know better, I'd say you've got a master plan to shadow me, Ms. Kast." They were all smiles and laughs on the outside, but the tension ran deep—they were already sizing each other up, ready for a showdown.Evangeline, catching every word, tried to act like it did not bug her to see Walter getting hit on right in front of her. She shifted her gaze to Alex, trying to distract herself.Alex, reflecting Walter's looks, made her wonder at the mysteries of nature. They shared the same face, yet one look was all it took to see they were night and day.Walter was the life of the party, sometimes a bit of a schemer, and would do anything to get what he wanted. He was a walking storm. Alex, on the other hand, was the calm after the storm—soft-spoken, classy, with a vibe t

After giving Alex a meaningful look, Minnie got up and cozied up next to Evangeline, tapping her hand ever so lightly."Evangeline, why the closed eyes? Tired from the birthday celebrations?"Minnie's sudden show of concern surprised Evangeline. She could not quite figure out Minnie's angle but managed a polite reply. "I'm holding up. Ms. Kast. Need something?"Small talk was not Evangeline's thing, especially not with someone like Minnie, whose agenda she could not quite pin down.Minnie let out a playful laugh. "Need something? Not really. Just got to thinking about my own parties back home while watching the birthday girl do her thing."Minnie's trip down memory lane piqued Evangeline's interest. "Oh? Aren't all parties pretty much the same? What happened at yours?"Minnie gave a shy smile. "It's really no big deal. The birthday girl or boy just has to hop on stage and put on a little show for everyone. It's kind of like a fun way to show off what you've got."Evangeline's ey

"Between you and me, I have a half-sister named Julia, and playing the violin is her thing."Julia's violin skills were no joke; she was the celebrated violin goddess of Avalon City.Oddly enough, Minnie brought up Julia's specialty to Evangeline.A spark of recognition flashed in Evangeline's eyes, and looking at Minnie again, she could not shake the feeling that this woman bore an uncanny resemblance to the mysteriously missing Julia.Minnie shook her head with much conviction. "No way, I couldn't have gotten it wrong. Plus, I brought my violin just for the chance to play with you!"Alex, seeing this, jumped in with a scolding tone. "Cut it out, Minnie. It's Evie's birthday bash, not a talent show. What's the point of this stunt?"Evangeline knew all too well that Alex was looking out for her. However, she was more interested in Walter's reaction. That guy always seemed to be on a mission to contradict her. With Minnie putting her on the spot, Walter was bound to jump at the ch

Yeah, Walter definitely did it on purpose. He was dying to find out if Evangeline would turn green with envy seeing him flirt with another girl right in front of her.Nonetheless, Evangeline shot Walter a blank look before her eyes landed on Minnie. "Looks like there's no way out of playing the violin today," she said."Ms. Kast, just playing together is kinda boring, don't you think? How about we spice things up with a little wager? It'll make our face-off more exciting."Minnie had been hoping for this moment.Back when she went by Julia, she had never heard a peep about Evangeline playing the violin. This showdown was in the bag—Evangeline did not stand a chance.Of course, Minnie played it cool. "Oh, wouldn't that be awkward? If I win against the birthday girl, it'll be such a slap in your face, won't it?" Minnie asked innocently.Evangeline let out a cold huff. If Minnie really saw herself as the birthday girl, she would not pull a stunt like this.Arguing about it at this

Walter faced the crowd and announced confidently, "Well then, I won't hold back. Since we're celebrating our birthday star today, let's raise the stakes. If you lose, how about you choose one of your gifts from tonight to give to Ms. Kast?"The challenge sent a collective gasp through the room.The night's haul for Evangeline was nothing less than five million in value.As for Minnie—just who was she? If she won, it would be like hitting a jackpot."Deal."Evangeline did not even pause to think. In any game, there was a chance to win or lose, and she was ready for either.She was not the least bit concerned.No sooner had Walter finished speaking than she had picked out the gift she would part with if she lost.In full view of the crowd, Evangeline lifted her right wrist, showing off the Glacial Crown Jade bracelet Walter had just gifted her."If I lose the bet, I've got my gift ready. It's the bracelet Mr. Walter gave me."She was no longer tied to the Gordons, and wearing t

Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 946
Evangeline listened to Thomas's lament and felt a wave of sadness in her heart.However, there were too many such people and stories in Avalon City, and she could not sympathize with all of them.Besides, Carl had done many bad things while working for Alex. How could she pity him?"Is there nothing else? No more information? Those who are pitiful must have their faults."Evangeline was not someone whose sympathy overflowed, nor did she want to connect with this situation."My men discovered that Carl has been wandering around Avalon City recently. His whereabouts are completely uncertain, and we've been unable to track him down or know where to start looking."Thomas fell silent for a moment, and Evangeline could only hear the sound of a mouse clicking.After some time, he added warily, "Carl is probably looking for his family."Before Alex was arrested, Carl secretly returned home one night. What exactly happened is unclear, but the next day, his family was taken away. And the

Perhaps going out for a walk with Celina to clear her mind would help her regain her composure.To her surprise, Celina declined Evangeline's suggestion and said, "No, I want to go on a stroll alone.Seeing the sadness in Celina's eyes, Evangeline did not know what to say."Ms. Evangeline, I'm just feeling down for no reason. You don't need to worry about me. Maybe it's because… I've been too idle."In the past, Celina always had various tasks, but after returning to the Foster family, there were no more tasks, no work, and her sole focus was on David.All of a sudden, Zhang Tao recovered and no longer needed her.She needed some quiet time to rediscover her own value. Otherwise, she would only live in confusion and self-doubt.Evangeline did not insist. Adults need time for themselves, after all. She could not take away the time for solitude that Celina needed just because they had a good relationship."Then… be careful."Evangeline patted Celina's shoulder and watched her le

Evangeline's brow furrowed. This situation was indeed tricky."Why is Carl Fowler still running around outside on his own when his boss has been exposed? If I were him, with Alex arrested, I'd rush back to Southern Crownlands immediately. Even if I couldn't return here, I'd send the message to the Bennison family as quickly as possible."Instead, he's been wandering around Avalon City!"Evangeline's speculation was not without merit. After all, if Carl had sent news of Alex's arrest back to Southern Crownlands, the Bennison family would have taken action. They would not be unaware, like they were at this moment where they've fallen for Walter's smokescreen and did not even realize it.David stroked his chin thoughtfully. "There's definitely something else going on here, and we just haven't figured it out yet. Is Carl wandering around because he's looking for something—or someone?"Having been by Alex's side, he naturally understood the dangers around him.Avalon City was especiall

"Insufficient evidence!"Evangeline and David seemed to be perfectly in sync. David looked at Evangeline with admiration."You truly are incredible, ma'am. Your analytical skills are simply amazing!""You don't need to flatter me. Since you led me to this conclusion, you must have a solution, right?"Gordon Group never kept idle people, and Walter was a perfectionist when it came to hiring. Therefore, the fact that David had worked under Walter for so many years was enough to prove his capabilities.Realizing he had been seen through, David awkwardly scratched his head. "I do have a plan, but it's still a bit underdeveloped, and I don't know if it will help Mr. Gordon."Since he was not sure, he did not dare to bring it up to Walter, only discussing it behind his back with Evangeline."Come on, tell me. Maybe it'll help."If the evidence Walter had was not enough, Gordon Group would remain in turmoil. Trey Gordon was still in the hospital recovering, and the situation at Gordon

David and Celina had lived in Southern Crownlands for a while, so they knew where the Bennison family's base was located. What Evangeline was concerned about, however, was the enormous amount of information carried by this statement."Do you know where Walter got this phone number from?"Whoever used this number would prove to be connected to the Bennison family.If the key person behind the scandal involving Gordon Group could be traced, the company's troubles would be resolved in an instant.David shook his head. "Mr. Gordon only instructed me to investigate this phone number. He didn't say where it came from."Ma'am, the president is holding up Gordon Group on his own. Don't you think we can do something too? Like, helping him catch the key person?"David's tone was uncertain, but his eyes flashed with a sly glint.Evangeline knew he had already devised an idea before speaking to her. She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and glanced at him sideways. "Speak up, what's yo

"But you know David didn't do anything wrong, right?"If he had, then Celina would not have said she was waiting for him to finish his task. Instead, she would have barged into the study and confronted him immediately.Celina lowered her gaze. "Yes, I know."Both of them were workaholics, and once there was work to be done, they would not care about anything else. So, Celina understood David's feelings very well. That being said, she did not want him to neglect her."I just hate his boss. If it weren't for him giving David some task, he wouldn't be like this."Walter is such a heartless boss. My David is still seriously injured, yet he gave him such an important task. It's practically exploitation!"Just when David could barely move around again, he started working like a dog for Walter!Evangeline did not care about any of the exploitation talk. Her attention was solely on one thing, and that was…"What task did Walter assign to David?"Evangeline's intuition told her that th

After all, if The Bennex Corporation knew about it, it would mean there was an insider in Gordon Group who was working for the Bennison family. At that point, it would trigger another internal purge.Walter finally regained his focus, and the entire Gordon Group was filled with a sense of harmony and renewed vigor. Even the department head of the Operations Department, who had been tortured by stress for days, looked relieved. He knew that the time for their president to strike back had finally arrived!The intense applause from the employees expressed their excitement.Walter felt unexpectedly touched. After all, if the employees did not have any sense of belonging to Gordon Group, they would not have been moved by his sudden actions.Some even shed tears.Evangeline also had not expected that the moment of action would come so soon. She really had waited for Walter to strike back.Apart from this, what surprised her was that David had mysteriously gotten busy. Even Celina, who

Evangeline publicly announced her divorce from Walter, even attaching a photo of their divorce certificate to her social media post. She made it clear that the Foster and Gordon families were no longer tied by marriage and were merely business partners.The post immediately caused an uproar online.Keyboard warriors, who had taken just one day off, came back with renewed vigor, their criticism even more intense than before.Some congratulated Evangeline on leaving the 'scumbag' and starting a new chapter in her life. Others sneered, claiming that without the Foster family's backing, the Gordon family was doomed to collapse.Some also angrily denounced Walter, proclaiming scumbags like him deserved nothing but ruin—and that Gordon Group's impending bankruptcy was only the beginning of his downfall.For the sake of Walter's plan, Evangeline could not disable comments on her post. She had no choice but to watch the varied opinions spread and ferment in her comment section.The sheer

The department head raised his face to the ceiling and let out a long, mournful sigh, practically on the verge of tears. "President, when will these days of suffering finally end?"Walter patted the man's shoulder reassuringly. "Soon… maybe in three or so days?" he answered warily. After all, the end of the department head's torment was not something Walter could dictate—it depended entirely on the Bennison family.If David could uncover evidence of collusion between Alex, The Bennex Corporation, and the Bennison family, then the timeline might speed up. If no evidence was found, it would drag on indefinitely, and Walter had no idea when the ordeal would end.Sensing the hesitation in Walter's words, the department head looked at him with tearful eyes and asked, "President, are we really going to make it?"Walter nodded firmly. "Of course. You have to trust me."After watching the department head leave, Emma appeared at Walter's side immediately. "Mr. Gordon, the operations depart
