Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 304
Roslyn's hand landed firmly on Evangeline's shoulder, her eyes blazing with resolve."Maybe we shouldn't." When push came to shove, Evangeline felt the urge to back down.Walter had made it crystal clear that she was not to step out on him while they were still married. Roslyn's advice felt like a bold challenge to that warning.It was not that she was scared of ticking Walter off; it just seemed all kinds of wrong after giving it some thought."Roslyn, I'm barely out of the wreckage of my marriage. Can't I just catch my breath for a second?"It was the raw truth. Walter had drained all her enthusiasm for anything to do with guys.Roslyn pouted. "Ever heard the one about not getting anything new until you let go of the old? Trust me, the next guy will be a total sweetheart. I'm not pushing you to leap into another marriage. But having someone new might just be the ticket to help you heal faster."She was sure Evangeline got the idea of distraction as a coping mechanism."Walter

Truth be told, the whole prayer thing was just an excuse to get out and clear their heads from all this drama."Deal! If I can score a better match, I'll ditch this crush. It's not like there's a guy shortage, right? Why should I, Roslyn, get stuck on just one dude?"The girls were on the same page in a heartbeat. They just needed to find the right time.Roslyn's phone buzzed, and with a single glance, her bubbly expression tanked."Evie, my agent's dumped more work on me, that absolute nightmare. I'm on set every day, barely sleeping four or five hours. Isn't that tough enough? I've had it; I'm going to ask the company for a new agent!"Just talking about her agent got Roslyn irritated.Evangeline was no stranger to the drama. Whenever Roslyn got mad, she would threaten to fire her agent, but she never actually went through with it. They would have their little spats, but before it was realized, they were back to being the dynamic duo at work. That was why Evangeline did not bot

Alas, work was work, and Evangeline was like family to her. Roslyn could not just focus on work and leave her friend when she needed help, right?"Time? I've got loads," blurted Evangeline without a second thought. "I've wrapped up all the company stuff, and I'm officially on vacation."In a private matter, if Roslyn had not come to her with this, Evangeline would have been climbing the walls out of sheer boredom. Seriously, if she had to spend one more day stuck in this villa, she would go stir-crazy.Writing songs needed her to be totally peaceful inside, and what better way to forget about the drama with Walter than to dive into a new project?"That's just awesome!" Roslyn was over the moon, buzzing with excitement as she hashed out the plans for her upcoming album with her manager.Dropping a new album was a huge deal for any singer, and that night, Roslyn was scooped up by her manager to get the ball rolling.After a heartfelt farewell to Roslyn, who was clearly bummed to le

The sound of someone clapping broke the silence once the song ended, making Evangeline's heart skip a beat.She turned and was startled to see who it was."Uncle Yale? What are you doing here?" she asked, her eyes wide with surprise.Yale stopped clapping and walked into her room with a smile. "I'm here to check on you."Evangeline's face had gotten so thin over the past few days that it was like all her health had just vanished. It was all Walter's fault, that jerk!Yale was seething inside, but he cared too much about Evangeline to let his anger show."Uncle Yale, have a seat." Evangeline gestured for her uncle to sit on the living room couch, then she tucked her violin away."How's everything been? Holding up okay?" Yale asked.Just a few days before, Evangeline had shown up out of the blue at the old Foster family place, looking for some alone time. She told Yale in secret that she needed a break. Yes, the company had Hank, the ever-reliable CEO, but sometimes, it still nee

In that tiny space, on that freezing night, under the flickering streetlight, Evangeline caught a glimpse of Walter's face, twisted into something dark and sinister.At that heart-stopping moment when she was penetrated, she realized she was no longer the cherished princess of the Foster family, nor the esteemed Mrs. Gordon. She felt like nothing more than a prostitute—an object at the mercy of Walter's every whim and desire, regardless of her own feelings.Why did it come to this? Why did her love for Walter drag her down to such depths?Liking someone was not wrong, and falling in love, dreaming of marriage, was not a crime.Regardless, knowing she was nothing more than an afterthought to him and still chasing after his affection like a doomed moth to a flame... that was her mistake.Uncle Yale could not fathom the storm raging in Evangeline's heart. Seeing her put on a brave face, his own heart twisted with pain."Evie, the important thing is that you have no regrets," he said

Yale's solid argument made a lot of sense, but Evangeline was not buying it.She was the darling of the Foster family, fully aware of Yale's influence and abilities. Yale had a laundry list of reasons, even playing the guilt card about harming some poor girl, but he missed the mark.If Yale was dead set on marrying a woman, he would not let her be in any danger, would he? The bottom line was that he just did not want to do it!"Well, Uncle Yale, you've got a point." Evangeline nodded, looking pensive, and Yale saw a sliver of hope for escape."Your other four uncles are around the same age, less complicated, and without my long list of enemies. Helping them find partners would be really helpful..."Yale knew he was shifting the attention to his brothers, but he did not feel the slightest bit guilty about it. As long as he could slip out of Evangeline's grip, he would hand over his four little brothers on a silver platter without a second thought.However…Evangeline's hand shot

Yale wondered who could be so rude as to ring the bell and not even wait for an answer, rushing like that.The moment he opened the door, he was taken aback by the face he saw.Standing there was someone in their trademark outfit: A vest, a miniskirt, shiny black thigh-high boots, and a long gray coat that was clearly for warmth."Why are you here?""Why are you here?"They both blurted out the same thing, eyes locked.Catching the vibe, Roslyn quickly switched it up."Where's Evie?""Where's Evie?"After the echo, Yale went full-on gentleman mode. "You first."Roslyn looked away, feeling a bit awkward. "I came to see Evie. Where is she?"She had only been gone from the villa for a few hours. Evangeline had to be around, right?Yale, finally catching on, gestured her inside and pointed the way. "She's in her room."What they did not know was that Evangeline had seen the whole thing through the lens of a phone camera.Since when did Yale and Roslyn... click so well?Yale,

Roslyn, with her fiery temper cooled, finally sat next to Evangeline, content. "That's better."However, her relief was short-lived, as Evangeline's next words sent her heart racing again."You know, Roslyn, you've been acting super weird!" said Evangeline with a hint of drama."Weird? How?""Back in the day, you didn't care who let you in, just as long as you got to hang with me. But now, you're all worked up because Uncle Yale opened the door? You've made such a big deal out of it, even asking me to promise you stuff..."Spill it. Are you... hiding something?"Both Yale and Roslyn were acting odd, and the oddness always peaked when they were alone together.Evangeline could not shake the feeling that something secret was going on between them.With Evangeline's teasing tone and the playful lift at the end of her sentences, it was like she had hooked Roslyn's heart and was giving it a good yank.Roslyn's cheeks turned a soft pink, a reaction she could not control, especially

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
