Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 194
The moment Evangeline's words hit the air, the birthday party crowd erupted into excited cheers. The violin was a beast of an instrument, demanding mad skills to play solo and make it sing. That was why every single one of its four strings was super important.Despite that, Evangeline boldly declared she would play a violin with a busted string! The crowd buzzed with chatter, wondering what would happen next."Can Ms. Evangeline really play even with a broken string? How else could she be so sure of herself?"One person snorted in disbelief, "Even the violinists who are famous around the world wouldn't dare to make such a bold claim in front of an audience. Is she really as good as those legends? I bet she's just showing off to us, who wouldn't know any better. She's bound to lose this match with Minnie!"Yet, someone else was not convinced."I still can't believe it. The only well-known violinist in Avalon City is her sister, Julia. Maybe Ms. Evangeline picked up a few tricks fro

Truth be told, Evangeline never cared for such theatrics. She believed in the strength of the self-reliant, and she did not need everyone's eyes on her or their empty praise. Nonetheless, Minnie had crossed a line, and Evangeline was not one to back down. She might not seek attention, but that did not mean she could not command it.However, there was something Evangeline did not realize: Walter was completely engrossed in Evangeline's performance from start to finish.He did not know anything about violins, but Evangeline's playing was so incredible that even he, a total newcomer to the music scene, was blown away by her amazing talent and the gorgeous sounds she coaxed from her instrument.'Evangeline, oh Evangeline, what other secrets do you have up your sleeve that I haven't discovered yet? I'm getting more curious about you by the minute,' thought Walter.The Foster family brothers, among the crowd watching Evangeline's show, could not stop raving about her. They were totally w

"Ms. Kast is one of my students. She's still pretty young and just got back from overseas, so she's not quite up to speed with how we do things here. Let's cut her some slack, okay?" Alex tried to smooth things over for Minnie.The crowd was not having any of it."So she doesn't know the rules? That's her excuse for getting all up in Ms. Evangeline's face? No way, she's got to pay up—she has to take off that dress today!"They were adamant, and Alex, with a worried look creasing his brow, still tried to keep his cool as he responded, "Look, Ms. Kast did lose the competition, but making a girl strip down in front of all of us? Isn't that going a bit too far? Who's going to deal with the fallout on her rep?"Alex had a point, and the room went quiet."I get it, you guys aren't trying to be harsh on her just for the sake of it. You're just ticked off because she dissed Ms. Evangeline. So here's what I propose: I'll step in as the peacekeeper."Evie, Minnie didn't get the rules and s

Evangeline could not help but smirk at the woman standing before her.Minnie was quick on her feet.Just when she was about to score some major points for her reputation, this woman swooped in with an act of feigned innocence and then cozied up to her, all in a bid to score some popularity points.Normally, Evangeline would have just nodded along, doing the easy favor without a second thought. However, since Minnie had tried to push her limits, Evangeline was far from willing.A smile hung on Evangeline's face, but she remained silent, her demeanor frosty.The room plunged into an awkward silence, and Minnie, desperate to break it, started rambling into the microphone about nothing in particular.Alex, trying to lighten the mood, cracked a joke and finally shattered the tension. "Minnie, you're reaching too far. How could you be friends with Evie? Evie should be your mentor."Minnie quickly latched onto his words. "Yes, yes, you're right. I was thinking too simply."Her words w

Evangeline's brow furrowed on the other end of the line."You've barely unpacked from your trip abroad. Why the rush to work?"She figured Alex would chill for a bit, maybe catch up with Trey before diving into the job scene. It seemed he was already on the move.Alex let out a sigh, pretending to be trapped by circumstance. "What can I do? The job landed in my lap, and the higher-ups said, 'Get over here now.' So, I went."Evangeline could not help but smirk.For any regular person coming back from overseas, hustling for a quick buck made sense, but this was Alex.The same Alex who once made a fortune for the Gordons! Money troubles? As if."Spill it, Alex. Since when do you need cash? What's the real deal?"Their friendship went way back, even without bringing Walter into the mix. They could shoot straight with each other.Alex hesitated, his voice tinged with the awkwardness of a nerve hit. Then, like he was done fighting it, he admitted in a calm voice, "Just bored.""Wha

As Evangeline rolled down her window, she was met with a surprisingly gentle face, so different from the stern, unyielding security guard who used to give her a hard time about leaving campus."I heard you were coming today. Go on in."The electronic gates swung open, and she drove onto the campus grounds.Her timing could have been better; Alex was tied up in a meeting.Once she knew where to find him, and keeping in mind his trouble with walking, Evangeline made her way to him.In the conference room on the thirteenth floor of the main teaching building, all the teachers of Avalon University were gathered, led by Vice Chancellor Tarry Dentwil, to kick off the day's meeting.Evangeline had barely reached the conference room door on the rarely visited thirteenth floor when she noticed the door was carelessly left cracked open. The voices from the meeting inside were crystal clear."Okay, so the main point of today's meeting is to lock in our choice for the Department of Music's

Outside the conference room, Evangeline recognized that unmistakable voice. It was Tarry, famous for his stubbornness back when she was a student. Garold, though, she did not remember at all.However, that was not odd. She was not a music department student, so why would she know their faculty?It looked like Tarry had met his match in Garold, who seemed even more headstrong. It was bound to be quite the showdown.As for whether she would end up teaching at Avalon University, she was not too fussed about it.Evangeline did not have much to do, so she grabbed a stool and sat down, watching the showdown in the conference room like it was some kind of secret tea party.Tarry was not playing favorites this time, not with Garold or anyone else."Okay, everyone, not just Garold—if you've got beef with my decision, today's the day to air it out. Speak your mind, because you won't get another shot at this!"The room was full of uneasy glances. A few people looked like they were about to

Evangeline was on the verge of rising to showcase her prowess to everyone.The conference room was abuzz when Tarry, at his wit's end, bellowed, "Quiet down, everyone!"With the room silenced, he pressed on, "Look, I get it. You're all worried, and that's fair. But I've sent Mr. Alex Gordon to fetch Ms. Evangeline, and she'll be here any minute. To iron out this whole mess, I say we give Ms. Evangeline a shot."If she nails the gig as our music department's new violin teacher, we'll give her a month to prove herself. If she doesn't wow us, then she's just not cut out for it. Our department isn't a playground for amateurs. If she's not up to the task, she won't stick around, will she?"This middle ground seemed like the best way to tackle the issue at hand.Everyone bought into the idea, and the meeting rolled onto the next agenda item.Evangeline, upon hearing the plan, did not rush into the room to make her case. Instead, she settled back onto her stool.A one-month trial? Piec

Celina noticed that Evangeline was about to leave and asked with concern,"Are you going out, miss?"Evangeline nodded while picking up her bag, not understanding why Celina's brows were furrowed.Before she could ask, Celina continued, "The Gordon family is in turmoil recently, and with your relationship with Walter… it might be best if you don't go out and attract attention."Evangeline could easily understand the meaning behind Celina's words. The Gordon family was in a crisis, and she had poured more fuel on the fire at a critical moment, practically throwing herself into the whirlpool of public opinion. If she went out, it was highly likely that paparazzi and reporters would follow her, and the consequences could be unimaginable."I'm sorry, but I still need to go."Evangeline's worry for Trey had reached its peak. Facing Celina's concerned expression, she reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. If necessary, I'll bring a few more bodyguards."Celina knew she could not

Some people also said that Walter had pushed out Alex. Gordon Group was going through a period of turmoil, suffering from investment failures, compounded by The Bennex Corporation's reckless and aggressive maneuvers, which were essentially pushing the company to the brink of collapse.The only way for Walter to temporarily calm the storm and give the company a chance to regroup was to push Alex out and take the blame for everything.As the news spread, its impact grew larger, and some even dared to publicly tag Gordon Group's official social media account. It was expected that Gordon Group would follow their usual approach of not responding and turning a blind eye.To everyone's surprise, the company issued an official statement within 10 minutes.The news that Mr. Alex Gordon had been incarcerated was true, but the specific reasons would need to wait for the police's verdict.This brief announcement confirmed the speculations of social media users.However, Gordon Group was not

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
