Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 210
"I won't do it!" Walter's eyes were tinged with red, but his voice was resolute."Why won't you let go? You don't even like Evie, and now you're just holding her back from finding happiness?"Holden's blood boiled at the thought of this guy messing with his beloved niece's future.When the men grilled him, Walter was bursting with things to say but could not find the words.He truly adored Evangeline; he dreamed of growing old with her. However, Evangeline's heart belonged to Alex, leaving Walter's love with nowhere to go.If he spilled his true feelings and they reached Evangeline, he would lose the last shred of pride he had.No way he could admit that, not even if his life depended on it!Walter hardened his resolve and looked away. "I just won't do it, okay? Get over it. There's no way I'll agree to a divorce from Evangeline!"His voice was firm, but it only fueled Evangeline's uncles' anger.That little jerk! Messing up his own life was one thing, but dragging Evie down w

Yale knew better than to push it. He backed off a bit, and the others gave them room, clearing a space for the showdown. In the wide-open office, Walter and Holden faced off, each ready to rumble.Walter eyed Holden's amateurish fighting stance and decided to throw him a warning. "Heads up, Uncle, I'm coming in."Holden sneered at Walter, full of himself, "Bring it on. Scared? Not a chance. For Evie's sake, I'm all in!"Before he could finish his tough talk, a blur zipped toward him. Next thing he knew, his shoulder was throbbing, "Ah!" Holden yelped. By the time he snapped out of it, Walter had his arms twisted behind him.Walter's voice was low in his ear, "You're done, Uncle." He let go of Holden's arms."Cheap shot!" Holden was fuming, rolling up his sleeves, "I'm not buying it. Let's go again. If I lose, then I'll give you props!" He was ready to dive back in, but Walter just shook his head. "We said one-on-one, one shot only. You're not going to chicken out, are you?"That

Yale had seen his fair share of rough-and-tumble in the special forces. Heck, he had even hauled around heavy artillery. Dealing with Walter, that punk, should have been a walk in the park, right?As it turned out, Yale had been through the wringer in the military, sure, but his years in politics had pretty much made him hand back all those fighting moves to his drill sergeant.When the dust settled, Walter was like one man against an army, and he laid out all five of the Foster brothers.Staring down the outcome, the Foster brothers were anything but happy about it. However, they had made their bet, and it was clear they were outclassed. They did not have a leg to stand on if they wanted to keep pushing for the divorce.Once Walter saw his uncles-in-law had cooled their jets, he turned on the charm."Guys, I know you're all here for Evangeline. But you've seen it yourself, I wasn't looking for a fight today. Let's call it a day and head on home, alright?"Truth be told, after th

With Evangeline's rise to power came more people to manage and more people to depend on her. She used her practiced tone to deflect any risk from unknown callers.However, she was clueless that David's voice, laced with urgency, would come through the other end. "Mrs. Gordon, you need to get over to Gordon Group, like, now. All five uncles are here, and they've got Mr. Walter Gordon cornered in his office. I don't know what's going down, but it's super intense, and I'm freaking out about the boss."David's words came out with a quiver, as if he was on the verge of tears.Evangeline's brow instantly creased with worry. What on earth were her uncles up to at the Gordon Group building?The tone of David's voice spelled trouble, and nothing good at that.With no time to waste, Evangeline jumped into her car and sped off to Gordon Group.Little did she know, in Walter's office at that very moment, the Foster brothers were seething with anger, unable to contain their fury at Walter's a

There was Walter, his eyes red and swollen, looking like he should be under glass in a museum. He kept his head down, stealing a cautious look at Evangeline, silent as the night.The Foster brothers were fuming, their anger simmering with no place to go.Walter, the rascal, was putting on quite the performance right in front of Evangeline! He acted like he was the victim, while they, the older relatives, were the mean bullies taking whatever they wanted by force!"Evie, don't even look at him. He's just faking it, I swear..."Evangeline grabbed Walter by the sleeve and yanked him in front of her, pointing at his black-and-blue eyes. "Isn't it obvious? Holden, got anything else to add?"Yale, the eldest among them, realized that Walter's little stunt had them all looking like the bad guys. He was so mad that he could bite a nail in half, but he knew he had to clear things up to avoid any more misunderstandings."Evie, you've got it all wrong...""There's nothing to get wrong."A

Holden strolled out, cracking jokes as he tugged Evangeline along.The once bustling office fell eerily silent, so devoid of life that Walter felt utterly alone.Slumped in his chair at the desk, Walter reached for a file on instinct, but he moved too fast, and a sharp jab of pain shot through his injured abdomen.The pain forced a hiss from his lips, but he tried to ignore it.In the scuffle with Evangeline's uncles, he had relied on finesse over brute strength, aiming to take them down with a single move. Of course, even the slickest moves require some effort, and it was no surprise that he had aggravated his injury.Despite the throbbing pain, and the very real possibility that the wound might reopen and bleed, he stubbornly refused to dwell on it.The image of Evangeline, not hesitating for a second to agree to that blind date, kept replaying in his head, causing a different kind of ache, one that seemed to compete with the physical pain.He could not tell which hurt more, h

Evangeline checked the time on her phone and frowned.It was way past late, and Walter was still grinding away at work. Did he forget he was nursing an injury?"How's Walter's injury doing?"They were on the brink of divorce, so whether Walter was kicking or not should not matter to her. However, his injury was no ordinary scrape, and if she did not at least pretend to care, it felt sort of apathetic.What she did not realize was that her words just jogged David's memory.The boss playing knight in shining armor for Evangeline? That had to up the odds of a reconciliation, right?With that, he started to spice up the tale, mixing a bit of truth with a healthy dose of fiction."He ignored the doctor's orders and checked himself out of the hospital. He spent the whole night by a patient's bedside, no rest for the weary."And talk about timing, today the big shots showed up and raised hell. I'm not sure about how the boss is holding up, because he's tight-lipped. But ever since the

David answered with a quick nod, looking like he was trying to be on his best behavior.Internally, David was freaking out.Evangeline was due to arrive any minute, and there he would be, sticking out like a sore thumb. He would be the ultimate third wheel.However, if he tipped off Walter about her visit too soon and made himself scarce, it would spoil the surprise.Figuring out how to sneak out of the office without Walter catching on, to give the two some privacy, was turning into quite the challenge."Is it super urgent?" Walter eyed David with suspicion.Something was definitely up. David was acting way too strange. Normally, David would spill the beans without being prompted, but at this moment, he was tight-lipped.Did David have some awkward, secretive plans for tonight?For a bachelor with a cushy job, there could only be one thing that was too embarrassing to mention: David had fallen in love!Oblivious to his boss' wild theories, David simply nodded. "It's an emerge

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
