Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 274
Evangeline noticed Walter first and gestured toward the dining table. "Two more dishes to go, but they'll be ready in a moment. Just hang tight a little longer."She looked like a devoted wife, so at ease with cooking and waiting for her husband to return from work that Walter felt like this had always been their routine."Sure."He was about to take a seat when Evangeline, with a touch of shyness, said, "Oh, I forgot to mention, you might want to wash your hands before we eat. It's just cleaner that way."Walter had beelined for the kitchen as soon as he got home, not pausing to wash up. Her gentle nudge took him back to his childhood—those days of playing hard and rushing home, only to be caught by his mom before he could attack the dinner table, all because he had not washed his hands.This time, it was not his mom's caring scold he faced, but his dear wife, Evangeline. A wave of warmth washed over him, and he struggled to find the words for how he felt. Her name, Evangeline, s

Feeling a twinge of embarrassment at his thoughts, Walter quickly looked away, trying to keep his cool and focus on his phone. Just then, Evangeline offered him a glass of red wine, stretching out her long legs and leaning casually against the headboard."Walter, how about a drink?"Evangeline's eyes sparkled. Even without lipstick, her lips seemed to Walter the most tempting shade of red, constantly drawing him in, making him yearn for a kiss.It was as if she had cast a spell on him; Walter took the wine almost without thinking."Is today... something special?" His voice was rough with a heat that had nothing to do with the temperature in the room.Somehow, without him even noticing, Evangeline had become the flame igniting his desire, her every move setting him ablaze.Evangeline's lips curved into a playful smile, her eyes reflecting a touch of confusion."Do I need a special occasion to have a drink?"Walter's response was cool, a stark contrast to the warmth he felt insid

"What do you think we should be talking about right now?" Walter's voice was rough, his eyebrows arching slightly, each tiny expression showcasing his magnetic charm.Evangeline had to keep reminding herself she had a goal to stay focused, or she would be lost in his smoldering looks."How about we discuss... a baby-making deal?"Walter chuckled, his words laced with layers of meaning as he said, "Evangeline, are you putting me to the test?"Evangeline awkwardly turned her head, avoiding his piercing look.The moment of truth had arrived, and it felt kind of wrong to put on the brakes.However, if she did not speak up, she worried that Walter might let his passions run wild, and she would miss her chance to talk."I just think we should clear the air on some things," she said.Walter stayed put, casually propping his chin with one hand while looking down at her, and said in an easygoing tone, "Go ahead."He was actually eager to find out what kind of surprise deal Evangeline h

Evangeline's cheeks turned a rosy hue at the heated invitation.They both wanted a child, so this closeness was bound to happen.Doing her best to keep her composure, Evangeline took a deep breath and quickly shut her eyes.She could not bear for Walter to see the truth in her gaze.She could not even imagine the tempest that would ensue if he ever discovered her true feelings.The sweet moment they had from before picked up where it had left off. Walter sensed Evangeline's rigid form beneath him, her usual compliance seeming like a rush to get it over with.That realization hit him like a splash of cold water, dousing the fire of his passion.Abruptly, he stood up."Get some sleep," he said, and the night swallowed his words.Walter left the room abruptly, leaving Evangeline stunned and bewildered. She never saw it coming.Her eyes snapped open, gazing at the space beside her in the bed, clueless about what just happened.Walter had been so close, so responsive just moments

However, Walter was not about to let her off the hook.He tilted his phone away so Evangeline was out of view and spoke in a voice devoid of any feeling, "Alright, let's hear the next one."The voice of a female executive reporting her work came through the phone, sounding distant and as emotionless as a robot.Walter was like a walking inferno, his breath hot as he leaned in close, his lips a whisper away from her ear. "You don't want us to get caught, do you?"His voice was a soft lure, but his every move was teasing and bold.His strong hands traced the lines of Evangeline's body. At the slightest hint of her resistance, his eyes flicked to where the phone lay, a silent warning.In an instant, the fire within Evangeline was snuffed out.The pride of being the Foster family's darling princess made her bend to Walter's will, silently bearing his every touch.However, he was pushing the limits.Evangeline had shed her flimsy nightgown to tempt Walter, so she was clad in only t

Walter raced to the hospital with Evangeline in tow.The doctor, a veteran of countless sprains, knew exactly what had happened.The nurses, though, could not resist a bit of gossip once they recognized Evangeline and Walter."Aren't they supposed to be at odds and heading for a divorce? What's with the emergency hospital visit?"Their suggestive pause practically broadcasted their assumptions to everyone.One nurse quipped, "What else? They must've gotten a little too wild! I don't know about their love life, but I bet they're stuck with each other!"Evangeline, draped in Walter's jacket, was being pulled along by the very person who caused this mess. She overheard the nurse's snarky comment.She shot Walter a fierce look, only to realize in frustration that she was hidden under his jacket, invisible to him."Relax, us two are like an old married couple. What's there to be shy about?"Walter said it so casually. Remembering the nurses' whispers, he could not help but be amuse

They had been through so much that night, and with Evangeline's sprained ankle, they had hurried to the hospital. They had been delayed so long that it was the wee hours of the morning.Walter's worry grew, and he firmly tried to guide Evangeline back, but she jerked away from his grasp. "I'm not going anywhere!"Walter, you don't get it. You don't know what Julia did to me, and you can't understand how much Lydia means to me! I thought, if Julia was gone, that was it. Catching Lydia would bring me some justice. But now, she's vanished right before our eyes, even though she was out cold!"The more Evangeline thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, her red, tearful eyes fixed on Walter."It was you, wasn't it, Walter?"She was almost convinced of his guilt."What are you talking about?"Walter was taken aback, but Evangeline's eyes were filled with clarity that said she saw right through him."The only ones watching Lydia, besides the medical staff, were your crew and mi

After Cole's health had stabilized, Evangeline had just gone to see Lydia. Lydia had not shown any signs of waking up, so what on earth had happened at the hospital in those few hours?The silence of Crystal Waters House enveloped her. Calming down after her spat with Walter, Evangeline began to think that maybe she had been wrong about him.With the influence the Gordons wielded, if they really wanted to set Lydia free, would not it have been a cinch to cook up some fake medical report and convince themselves Lydia was gone for good? Why go through the whole song and dance of rescuing her, then act like they were guarding her?The memory of Walter's furious yet determined face as he vowed to dig deeper into the matter brought a pang of guilt to Evangeline's heart.Walter had a point. Lydia's vanishing act was riddled with question marks, and Evangeline had flown off the handle at Walter without getting her facts straight. She needed to take a breath, cool her head, and get to the

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
