Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 296
"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

Walter did not care if he threw James off his schedule. He planted himself in front of James's car, stubborn as a mule."Walter, when did you sign up for security duty?" asked James sarcastically, stepping out of his car with a sigh. "If you're going to play watchdog, shouldn't you be on your own turf? What's the deal with camping out at my place?"The Fosters had a top-notch security setup. The second Walter took up his post, James got the heads-up from his bodyguards. He knew exactly why Walter was there, even if he pretended otherwise.James had figured the high-and-mighty young master would crack after getting the cold shoulder from the Foster clan and beat a hasty retreat. Walter was full of surprises, though, holding his ground for two days without budging an inch.James had to step in, worried that the ruckus might tip Cole off to something being amiss. It was time to confront Walter head-on.Walter could easily pick up on the sarcasm in James' words, but he had bigger fish

If it were not for Walter's high status, and considering how he had treated Evangeline, Roslyn would not even waste a second glance at him.Yet there she was, in the cutthroat world of entertainment, where crossing Walter could spell disaster for her career. Thus, for the sake of her paycheck, she played along."Sorry for taking up your time."Walter was not the type to apologize. With his high-flying status, people usually tripped over themselves to please him. Why would anyone be annoyed with him?He understood why Roslyn might be ticked off with him, though. Since he needed her help, he would have to suck it up, no matter how much it stung."Evangeline's been missing for days. You got any clue where she might be?"Roslyn blinked, caught off guard, before it clicked."Mr. Walter Gordon, did I hear you right? You're asking about Evie?"Walter gave a firm nod.Roslyn leaned her head on her hand. "Unless I'm mistaken, you two aren't divorced yet, right?"That question hit Walt

Walter had just put the final flourish on a contract when he grabbed the list of new names and flipped to the end to sign off. As his pen danced across the page, he shot a question over his shoulder."So, how many fresh faces are joining us as interns? Got any standouts?" Walter asked.David, who had been Walter's right-hand man for years, knew what he meant. He had the information ready, just waiting for the cue. "We've got five new interns this year. One is a real jack-of-all-trades and shines bright in the bunch. You know we've got that gap in the secretarial pool? HR is buzzing about grooming this star. If they catch your eye, boss, they're in."The HR chief was one of Trey's crew, an unbiased man who acted lawfully and abidingly. That was why, when Walter was removing Trey's people from the group, he kept this gem on board.Walter's eyebrow raised. "Impressing that old coot is no walk in the park. Who's the kid?"He fanned out the employee files he had, looking for a clue, bu

In Eastgate District, the lush and luxurious Emerald of the Highlands villa area, Evangeline lounged on a beanbag chair, soaking up the sun's rays with carefree ease.She had been living extravagantly in the villa her uncle had gifted her for several days, reveling in the kind of laid-back lifestyle she adored.These days had taught her why so many people were into the whole 'lie back and let the world spin' vibe, keen on clocking out of the rat race early.Right then, her phone buzzed. It was a call from her best friend, Roslyn. The thought of how long it had been since they last hung out brought a smile to Evangeline's face."Hey, it's been ages! What's been keeping you busy?"She secretly wished Roslyn could join her for some chill time during her self-declared vacation.Of course, being solo had its perks—peaceful yet a tad dull. However, that twinge of loneliness would sneak up on her sometimes.Roslyn was not calling to swap life updates, though, despite her hectic schedul

"No, not at all." Evangeline laughed it off, but it was clear she was faking it.How could she admit the humiliating thing Walter had done to her?"Just pretend I'm really tired lately and need a serious break." Evangeline grabbed a throw pillow and, pretending to play with it, used it to hide her face.Roslyn saw right through this act of evasion and felt her anger melt away, leaving only a deep concern for Evangeline. "You can rest any way you want, but you have to talk about what's going on so we can back you up, okay?""I... don't want to fight back anymore." Evangeline's gaze fell, filled with sadness.She just wanted to cut Walter out of her life for good. Alas, she knew that was a pipe dream.She had promised Cole she would make it work with Walter and have a child. How could she let him down?Hiding away was just... a temporary escape."That's not going to work."Roslyn's fists tightened with fury. Her best friend Evangeline was being tormented by a lowlife. Was she su

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
