Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 291
Alex shook off the spell of the music, dropped his hands, and let his heart do the talking."Evie, the music world is missing out big time without you playing the violin."Evangeline packed up her violin, which she had just finished tuning, and shrugged off the compliment. "The music world is full of what-ifs, and I'm not that big of a deal. Alex, if you keep this up, I'm going to feel outclassed..."Sometimes, Evangeline was amazed by the quirks of destiny.Alex and Walter had a similar face, yet she could always spot the difference between them with ease.Looking at Alex, she wondered how she would feel if Walter were the one in the audience, clapping for her. She would probably be over the moon.How silly.Evangeline suppressed a smirk and pushed those weird thoughts to the back of her mind.Just then, a phone's ringing cut through the silence of the classroom. It took a moment for Evangeline to realize it was Walter on the line.What was his deal? Was he not supposed to be

Right then, Evangeline stared down at the messy orange splotch on her front."Uh... I need to hit the restroom."Evangeline quickly shrugged off Alex's steadying hand and dashed into the restroom, hoping for a miracle.However, the stain was a fashion disaster of epic proportions, beyond any quick fix.Gazing at her messy reflection, Evangeline's heart sank. How on earth could she show her face at Crystal Waters House? Walter would have a field day!At that moment, a knock came from outside the restroom door."Evie, you won't be able to do anything with your clothes. Change into something else. I've got a set of sample clothes a friend sent over for me to check out. I've left them at the door for you, see if they fit."Alex, ever the artist, had a wide circle of creative pals. It was not unusual for him to get fashion samples from designer friends for his opinion.Evangeline's worry took a different turn. "You're supposed to give those back, right? If I wear them..." How would

Walter looked nothing like his usual refined self, instead resembling a hulking brute with more brawn than brains.Alex was momentarily speechless, baffled by the confrontation.Evangeline, however, did not miss a beat. She casually crossed her legs with poise and called out, "Walter, I'm right here."She even gave him a playful wave of her finger as she spoke."What's the big idea, showing up here in the middle of the night, yelling and pounding on the door? What's your deal?"Walter's face turned stormy in an instant, and he glared at Evangeline with a menacing scowl. "You're asking what I'm doing? You really have no clue?"His gaze narrowed dangerously, a threatening glint flashing in his eyes.He had never seen Evangeline's outfit before. So, not only had she not come home tonight, but she had also changed her clothes for her visit to Alex's place?Walter's anger blazed like wildfire, and he turned his furious glare onto Alex."What did you do to Evangeline?"Alex's heart

As Walter grilled Evangeline, his mind was racing with silent calculations.If nothing happened, why did Evangeline change her clothes at Alex's place? What could they have possibly done that was so intense it warranted a change of clothes?The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The fire inside him grew wilder.The car was cramped, and Walter's attention turned menacingly to Evangeline's lower half.Her small frame was trapped, and when he started to pull away her clothes, she had no room to fight back.Realizing what Walter was about to do, Evangeline was struck with horror. "Walter, if you go through with this, I'll hate you forever!"She was the cherished princess of the Foster family, the jewel in her uncles' crowns.Walter was treating Evangeline like she was just there for his pleasure, ready at his beck and call.She had feelings for Walter, no doubt about it, but she would never stand for being treated with such disrespect.Sadly, Walter was too caught up in

Evangeline could barely make out Walter's profile in the dim light by the roadside. "So, you think you can treat me this way just because you're angry?"Walter, what do you think I am? Some kind of pleasure device?"Evangeline's voice thundered in the cramped car, shaking Walter to his core. She wrenched herself from his grip and fixed her clothes right in front of him.At that moment, she was not just Walter's wife. She was the untouchable, golden girl of the Foster family, and she would not stand for this treatment from any man! Her clothes were the last shred of dignity she clung to in Walter's presence."Walter, this is goodbye!" She meant they were done for good.Walter's ears rang with the slam of the car door, leaving him in a silence so deep he could hear his own heart breaking. He looked around the empty car, feeling a hollow echo inside himself. His undone belt and pants were a silent testament to his recent actions.In a moment of self-loathing, Walter slapped himself

"Alex, the drama between me and Walter is not your problem, so don't sweat it."The fight had kicked off in Alex's house, but really, it was just old grudges boiling over. Alex was just caught in the crossfire; he did not have anything to do with it.Evangeline could tell Alex was probably beating himself over it, so she quickly offered some comforting words.What she did not realize was that her kindness was like a warm blanket for Alex's soul."Evie, I'm alright as long as you're okay... That's what counts."His words were a whisper, but they were packed with so much honesty that Evangeline could not help it. Her tears just spilled over.Feeling so low after Walter's harsh treatment, Alex's words lifted her spirits sky-high."Thanks, Alex," she said, meaning every word.Nevermind Walter. Alex was the person she needed at this moment, someone to make her feel valued when she felt at her worst."No biggie."Alex was smiling on the other end of the line, but he still took a mo

Evangeline and Alex traded stories, each one making them laugh more than the last.Meanwhile, Walter was in a rough spot. He was gutted when he realized Evangeline blocked him.Alone, he headed back to Crystal Waters House, only to find that Evangeline had not returned, which sent him into a tailspin.Evangeline was gone, and it looked like she might not come back at all.That just could not happen.He had to see her... he had to make her listen to his side of the story!Where could Evangeline have gone? If she was not at Crystal Waters House, where else would she be?Cole was sick. Even if she was mad at him, she would not just skip out on visiting Cole, would she?Walter felt like he had a lead. He willed himself to sleep and recharge, determined to head over to Cole's to track down Evangeline.Nonetheless, Evangeline's determined eyes haunted him, and he tossed and turned all night. With dark bags under his eyes, he got up at the crack of dawn and made his way to the Foster

Walter could accept Evangeline being mad at him, but it drove him nuts when she dodged him like he was some kind of monster.Evangeline could not help but laugh. "Why would I be avoiding you?"All she wanted was to give him the cold shoulder, plain and simple."So you..." 'Why are you taking off?'Walter's question hung in the air as his phone buzzed to life. He saw the caller ID and accepted the call without hesitation.Trey's voice came through loud and clear. "Walter, do you have any idea how long it's been since you last dropped by?"The old man's tone was laced with a touch of longing, obviously hinting that he wanted Walter to pay him a visit.That was when Walter realized he had been so wrapped up in Evangeline lately that he had forgotten visiting Trey."How about I swing by tomorrow?"He thought about saying 'today', but he had just managed to catch Evangeline, and he had a whole lot to say to her. He could not possibly leave today.Trey was just itching to see Walte

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
