Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 236
Yale had downed too much alcohol, and the dim room lights and his own instincts kept him on the edge of consciousness, his eyes refusing to open.In his haze, he felt the gentle touch of cool hands lifting him onto a soft surface. The chill from the water cup tingled his senses, and then the water began to trickle into his mouth.Parched, he gulped down the water eagerly, following the gentle motions of the girl feeding him, until the cup was empty. She took the cup away, asking with a caring tone, "Want more? I can get you some.""No more," he mumbled, frowning slightly.That voice—why did it sound so familiar?Roslyn's heart raced as she held Yale, who was utterly defenseless in her arms. He was drunk, and it was the perfect chance.'Roslyn, you love him, don't you? Even if you can't win his heart, having him just this once would be enough, right?' Roslyn asked herself.The thought was so bold it scared her. She was going mad, driven by her love for him!If she could just be

"Roslyn, come on, don't make me lose respect for you, okay?" Yale's eyes were icy, and Roslyn felt like she was being frozen solid under his chilly stare."You... Yale, that's way too harsh!" The hurt she had been bottling up came flooding out, and Roslyn could not hold back her tears any longer. Nevertheless, she would not let Yale see her cry. She dashed back to her room, dove under her covers, and cried without making a sound.She was so quick that she did not even bother with her shoes. In the dark, her tears soaked the blanket, but she did not care to dry them.What was she supposed to do? Being sweet and docile did not work, being bold and forward did nothing, and even her all-out attempt to woo him for just one magical night was failing! Yale was just impossible, and it was shattering her heart! This old guy, could she just decide she was done with him? As soon as she thought about it, a sharp pain in her heart answered her.Angry at herself, she thumped her chest. Patheti

"Roslyn, are you sure you can hit the set looking like that?"If Roslyn was not up for acting, maybe a sick day would do her good."I have to go back," said Roslyn, shaking her head with a grimace of distaste. "Coral, that drama queen, made me promise last night that I'd be back today! I'm so over her! The minute I get back, I'm going to ask the company to give me a new agent!"Coral Ford was the notorious agent Roslyn always complained about.Evangeline knew better. Roslyn was just blowing off steam. If she actually got rid of Coral, she would be the first to regret it."Come on, you get mad and talk about ditching Coral, but who's been by your side all these years? Grow up a little, will you? If you can make it to the set, then go. If you can't, Coral cares too much to ever make you work when you're sick."Evangeline's words were full of confidence.She had met Coral, a rare gem of an agent who truly had Roslyn's best interests at heart."It doesn't matter if she pushes me or

After what went down last night though, Yale was not so sure what was going on in Roslyn's head anymore.Before Evangeline could even get a word in, Roslyn chimed in, "Evie, if you're tired, just head back and get some sleep. I'll hitch a ride with Uncle Yale."…In the white BMW, Yale fired up the engine from the driver's seat and watched Roslyn wave goodbye to Evangeline before sliding into the seat beside him.As the door shut, a voice as cold as a robot's snapped, "Strap in."That was when it hit Roslyn that she was riding in Yale's car, where everything had to be by the book.She obediently clicked the seatbelt into place and waved to Evangeline through the rolled-down window.The car zipped off, the roar of the engine nearly drowning out the world.Inside the car, insulated from the noise, it was dead quiet.Roslyn was not in the mood to chat, and Yale was at a loss for words.It was odd. After all, Roslyn's presence usually meant there was never a dull moment.Last ni

Roslyn loomed above him, her eyes a mesmerizing shade of sea-glass blue, locking onto his intelligent gaze before drifting downwards. The sensation at his lips was warm, tender, and tingling, as if a current passed through them, sapping Yale's strength in an instant.The kiss deepened, and the subtle hint of lemon from her lips was intoxicating, making Yale's eyes flutter shut without him even realizing it. His breaths grew heavier and more urgent.Yale tried to resist, but Roslyn's embrace tightened, drawing them closer until they touched in a way that left them both vulnerable. Roslyn, caught in her own mischief, froze for a moment, her cheeks flaring up into a bright, eye-catching red. She threw caution to the wind and dove in for another kiss. Seizing the moment of his startled gasp, she playfully flicked her tongue, inviting him to join her in the dance.Then, a pair of strong hands came to life, not to push her away, but to draw her even closer, pressing her lips down further.

Yale had always been careful not to hurt Roslyn's feelings, choosing his words with care even when he was laying down the law. This time, faced with her tearful eyes and the weight of the moment, Yale's restraint shattered. He could not believe it had come to this, and he could not bother with being gentle anymore."Niece?" Roslyn echoed his words, her eyes puffy and red as if she had been crying for hours. "Are you still trying to fool both of us? You say you think of me as a niece, but does a niece's embrace stir anything in you?"Alright, you've made your feelings crystal clear. I get it. I'll just keep my distance from now on!" Roslyn had her own pride, but for Yale, she had crushed it to smithereens, all for a single smile from him. She had tried everything, even throwing herself at him, but nothing worked. She was done.The car door slammed shut, leaving Yale alone with the fresh lemon scent that Roslyn had left behind. Life in the army, surrounded by tough guys, had not prepa

Unbeknownst to them, Walter, face burning up, stumbled downstairs for a drink and heard the entire phone call clearly.Was Evangeline going to show up at the old Gordon place?"Cough, cough..."He was feeling pretty run-down, and a couple of instinctive coughs managed to snag Trey's attention."Walter, how are you holding up? Feeling any better?" Trey asked, all worried.Walter took a gulp of water and sat down next to Trey. "I'm doing okay, Grandpa. No need to fuss over me."He scooted over on purpose, and it was not just to give his grandfather a health update."Did I hear you right? You invited Evangeline over for a family dinner?"Being sick was making Walter feel all kinds of vulnerable. His head was pounding, and just the thought of Evangeline showing up stirred up feelings he could not quite put into words.Would Evangeline pity him if she saw him all weak and helpless? Maybe enough to reconsider the divorce?"Yeah," Trey grumbled. "It's because you couldn't cut it whe

Stepping out of the car, Evangeline's gaze landed on Walter. His cheeks were tinged with an odd flush, his face set in a blank mask, lips pressed into a thin line. He had this vibe about him, like he was silently warding off everyone.Evangeline figured he must be annoyed by something and made a mental note to steer clear of him at tonight's family dinner. Their divorce was just around the corner, after all, and there was no point in stirring up emotions. Plus, tonight was all about Alex, the guy she had always looked up to like an older brother. She was not about to let Walter hog the spotlight.So, what happened next was no surprise.Walter stood tall and straight, right beside Alex, who was in his wheelchair.Evangeline, with the Winnie the Pooh bear in her arms, made a beeline for Alex."Alex, it's been ages!" Her face lit up with a warm smile as she gracefully placed the bear on Alex's lap. "Check out the gift I picked for you. You like it?"Evangeline always had these deep

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
