Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 263
Alex was on the staff at Avalon University, something Walter was well aware of, so Evangeline braced herself for his blowup.Against all odds, Walter did not even bat an eyelash. "Sure, let's go together. I'll give you a lift.""No need, I wouldn't want to hold you up from work. How awkward would that be?" Evangeline declined with a mocking smile.Little did he know, she was kicking herself on the inside.Evangeline could not believe she had gotten herself into this mess, allowing Walter to weave himself into her day.If Walter drove her to school and ran into Alex, would that not spark another epic showdown?However, Walter did not seem to think it was a big deal and casually remarked, "No trouble at all, it's on my way!"Evangeline racked her brain but could not make sense of it. The music campus of Avalon University and the Gordon Group's headquarters were in completely different directions. How on earth could Walter have the nerve to claim it was on his way?However, after

"Fancy seeing you here, Ms. Kast."Walter, perched at the podium, raised an eyebrow. "Though, it hasn't really been that long since we last saw each other, has it?"Minnie's eyes sparkled, a playful light swirling within them, her gaze glistening as if touched by dew. Even then, she pretended to be utterly serious as she replied, "Really? Then why does it feel like an eternity to me?"She propped her chin on her hands, elbows resting on the table, gazing at Walter with feigned naivety.Walter was taken aback.He was no stranger to flirtation due to his family's status, but Minnie's boldness and exuberance were something else entirely.Driven by curiosity, Walter decided to play along, asking with a hint of mischief, "And how long would that be, in your mind?"Their playful banter sent a current of flirtatious energy through the air, almost tangible enough to touch.The college students around them, all too familiar with the rollercoaster of romance, let out a collective, knowin

Alex took the stage, and as expected, he was stellar. His lesson was like a chain of fireworks, each part setting off the next, totally mesmerizing everyone. They clung to every word, and every so often, one could hear someone let out a 'wow'.It was during this class that Evangeline found out Alex was not just a violin virtuoso—he was a wizard on the piano and saxophone too.She let out a little embarrassed chuckle. She supposed she did not know Alex as well as she thought.Just as she was getting lost in Alex's epic talk, her phone had to go and ruin the vibe, blaring out of her pocket.The magic spell was broken, and all eyes darted to Evangeline.That was when it hit her—her phone was the culprit.She was here to learn, and she entirely forgot to silence her phone!Feeling her face heat up, she mumbled a 'sorry' to Alex and bolted from the room.Out in the hallway, Evangeline took out her phone and saw that Holden had been trying to reach her like crazy.He had called a bu

"Uncle, how is Grandpa? Is he...?" Evangeline could not finish her sentence, her voice choked by tears.Cole was more delicate than anyone knew, and even though Dr. George had worked wonders, his health was still a house of cards, propped up by his unshakably positive attitude.With the shock of his beloved granddaughter's divorce, a marriage that had been rocky from the start, what would he think? Evangeline could not bear to think about it.The voice on the other end of the line was like a sledgehammer to her heart."He's in critical condition. Dr. George is doing everything he can. You need to get to the hospital... now."'Grandpa… Oh, grandpa, please be okay!'He was the one who had always been there for her, the one who loved her most. What would she do if he were gone?'Stay strong... You have to stay strong!' prayed Evangeline internally.Tears streamed down Evangeline's face, the world around her fading away. She started the car on autopilot and raced to the hospital.

The surgery had been a marathon, and Dr. George's forehead was slick with sweat.Everyone crowded around him, desperate for news."Dr. George, how is my grandpa? Is he okay?"Evangeline's voice broke with worry."Don't worry, he's stable for now. We'll keep an eye on him for the next twenty-four hours. If all goes well, he'll have made it through the worst.""Thank you so much," said Evangeline, her tears giving way to a small smile of relief.Just then, the nurses rolled Cole out. Yale, with his brothers at his side, quickly took over, pushing Cole's bed toward his room.Evangeline did not even pause to look back at Dr. George. With a quick wave, she dashed off to follow the others.Dr. George gave a nod to Walter, who had not said a word the whole time, and then he walked away.The Foster family's five brothers were scattered around the spacious hospital room, some sitting, some standing. They silently hovered around Cole's bed.Evangeline's gaze fell on Cole, once so full

"Grandpa Cole is in this state because of the buzz about me and Walter splitting up. How can we save it now?"Evangeline's mind was a total blank. She had no clue how to soften the blow for Cole.Her five uncles all fixed their gaze on her. Then, as if on cue, they all lowered their heads.Yale let out a deep sigh. "If he's already onto us, anything we do now is just spinning our wheels. Let's just... leave it."The worst had happened. What could they possibly do to turn things around?"Uh... Can I throw in my two cents?"Walter, who had not said a peep since he walked in, cleared his throat and finally piped up."Speak up."Evangeline shot Walter an annoyed look. Cole was on his deathbed, partly thanks to Walter, and she was not about to roll out the red carpet for him. She would rather he just spit out whatever he had to say and then vanish from Cole's room for good."He's in a bad state, and while I'm part of the reason, I'm more worried about you, his granddaughter, ending

Walter cut off Evangeline's caution with a cocky eyebrow lift. "Evangeline, you really think I'd have sleazy thoughts about you?"The kind of thoughts a husband had for his wife was considered sleazy? Were they not just part of the deal?For Evangeline, however, those words twisted into something else entirely as they reached her ears.She was just kidding herself all along. Walter had never really been into her. What could he possibly want with her if not just to blow off some steam?She raised her eyes slowly, meeting the gaze of her uncles.Holden, the most fiercely protective of the bunch, had tears welling up in his eyes. "Evie, if you're going to lie to Grandpa now, you've got to be ready to keep that lie going until his last day. Are you... sure about this?"Why did the Foster family's untouchable, regal princess keep getting tangled up with a guy like Walter, the town troublemaker?Holden wanted to convince Evangeline to shut down Walter's nonsense, to kick him out of he

Cole's words came out with difficulty, and Evangeline leaned in close to catch every sound. However, at the mention of that name, the tears she held back came streaming like a downpour.After Cole had a close call with death, his first worry was about her happiness in the years to come. A sharp pain clutched at her chest so fiercely that she could barely catch her breath.She could not let Cole see her struggle. Fighting the urge to press her hand against her chest, she tried to sound as calm as possible. "Grandpa, Walter and I are cool again, so you don't have to stress over us."Cole managed a weak wave of his hand and a scoff. "Don't kid me, I saw the video. You're splitting up, Evie, I know..." He paused, gasping for air, then added, "I know you're a good kid, and because you're so good, I can't stand the thought of my troubles messing up your shot at happiness..."It was clear Evangeline's reassurances were not convincing Cole.Walter moved closer, standing by her side, and c

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
