Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 342
A week's time…Had Yale not reminded her, the whole thing might have slipped Evangeline's mind.Between grappling with the news of her pregnancy and drawing a line with Walter, her mind was a whirlwind of worry. She dreaded the thought of her uncles and grandpa making a big fuss over her news.Thus, she gave herself a week to get her head straight before letting them in on her little secret."Isn't today just day seven? Why the hurry?"She had to count it out on her fingers to be sure Yale had not pulled a fast one on her."Evie, you have to talk to us sooner or later. Does one more day make a difference?"That was Holden on the other end of the line, chiming in.Evangeline did not hesitate with her answer. "Yes, it does! Tomorrow, I'm visiting Grandpa. Let's meet at the Foster family's old place."Evangeline had no clue that her offhand comment had sent her uncles into a frenzy of excitement."Did Evie get back to us?""Is she finally going to say something about being preg

It had been ages since Evangeline had felt this kind of warmth.In an instant, she was reminded of her mother, who had left the world too soon.She could not help but wonder if Julieta was heaven-sent, a way to fill the void her mother's absence had left.Julieta, sensing the prolonged silence, worried she might have crossed a line and quickly added, "If it's too much, you don't have to talk about it...""It's not that. I'm just trying to figure out how to put it into words," said Evangeline, searching for the right way to express her tangled thoughts.Julieta had no idea about Evangeline's situation with Walter. Honestly, she did not feel like going through the hassle of explaining their complicated history. It was downright confusing.Then, like a lightbulb flicking on, Evangeline's eyes sparkled with an idea."Mrs. Lewis… Let's say you've got this friend, right? And you've told them you're done, you want to keep your distance. But now, you're in a jam and need to ask for thei

Evangeline paused, finding it hard to continue, but she pushed on."You're aware of how my grandpa's health is. I think it's best if we're both there for this. So... would you come with me tomorrow?"Evangeline really did not have to ask like this.She could not help but feel that every struggle was worth it when she pictured her sick grandfather's face lighting up at the news of her baby's arrival."Sure, when should I swing by to get you?" Walter offered without hesitation.His eagerness caught Evangeline off guard. "You didn't even think it over?"She had wrestled with how to broach the subject with him, to the point where she lost her appetite."There's nothing to think about. It's been ages since I've seen him. Paying him a visit is the least I can do," said Walter with a firmness that left no room for argument. Nonetheless, his words carried a hidden weight that only he seemed to grasp."You do realize this isn't just a simple family visit. To convince Grandpa... we'll

How could he be so clueless?Evangeline's heart belonged to Alex, yet Walter poured out his feelings to her like she would actually care. Walter was just humiliating himself at this point, was he not?"Eight in the morning, I'll swing by the villa to get you. That's it for now, I need to sleep."Walter's frosty words were a sharp reminder that she had interrupted his rest. Evangeline quickly agreed and hung up, her heart heavy.The phone lay silent, but Evangeline's heart was anything but. Walter's words haunted her in echoes, confirming she had not misheard.Her heart unexpectedly missed a beat, and a wave of disappointment and loss washed over her. Walter clearly did not want her; his words were only for the sake of the baby.With a reason for everything, Evangeline fought through her heartache and finally drifted off to a restless sleep.After a night of tossing and turning, Evangeline dabbed on just enough makeup to look alive. She was careful to use only pregnancy-safe prod

Trying to ignore his rumbling stomach, Walter suddenly spotted a mouthwatering sandwich in front of him, and behind it, Evangeline's resigned expression."Mrs. Lewis packed these, worrying I'd get peckish on the road. Have one to hold you over."It was not that Evangeline was worried about Walter, in essence. She just felt bad for the guy—he was only this famished because of her.Walter shook his head. "No, you keep it."Evangeline was expecting, and if her nanny had thought to pack snacks, it meant she probably needed to eat frequently.He did not want to scarf down the sandwich and leave her hungry later.Walter did his best to keep his cravings in check, eyes glued to the windshield, watching the road. He even toned down his breathing to avoid being seduced by the scent.Evangeline knew he would not just take her word for it, so she pushed the sandwich into his hand."Go on, eat. Mrs. Lewis made plenty, and we won't miss one. We've got a bit before we'll get to eat at Grandp

Had Evangeline and Walter patched things up and had come to give him the news?Cole's eyes lingered on Walter's cheerful face. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that his hunch was right."I've actually got some great news for you today!""What's the great news?" Cole asked, already forming his own theory. "Did you and Walter patch things up and decide to stay together?"Their relationship had always been a sore spot for him.Walter was not related to the Foster family, so Cole did not worry about him as much. However, Evangeline was different. She was his only granddaughter. If she was not happy, he felt like he would never be able to rest easy, not even in his grave.Evangeline could not believe it. Despite Walter's heart-to-heart with Grandpa Cole, the old man still clung to the crazy idea that she and Walter were on the brink of divorce.Clearly, Walter's attempt at reassurance had fallen flat.However, finger-pointing could wait. She needed to squas

"Oh, come on! Grandpa is not out of his mind. He knows how to look after himself. Right, Grandpa?" Evangeline teased, casting a playful glance at her grandfather.Cole quickly replied, "You bet. For my great-grandchild, I'll do whatever it takes to stay healthy."Laughter filled the room once more; the family's happiness was infectious.Amid the laughter, Evangeline took a moment to really look at her grandfather. He used to have streaks of black in his hair, but after his illness, it was all silver, making him seem so much older.Before she walked in, her uncles had whispered concerns about Grandpa's sharpness slipping. She had not believed them then. However, after just a few words with him, the playful, childlike glint in his eyes told her everything she needed to know.Cole was getting on in years, and the time for stubbornness had passed.Joyous moments always seemed to pass quickly. The Foster family was having a blast, and like they had all planned it, each person showed o

"Well then, if you say so, what more could I ask for? I'm just looking forward to welcoming my precious great-grandchild and basking in familial happiness!" Cole imagined the joyful future, his eyes narrowing into a contented smile.Evangeline felt a weight lift off her shoulders, knowing she had finally won her grandfather's approval. However, another thought then struck her. "Grandpa, as the head of the family, it's not right to play favorites, is it?"Cole looked puzzled, "Play favorites? When have I ever done that?"Cole had always doted on Evangeline, his granddaughter. If there was ever a case of playing favorites, she was definitely the golden child. Somehow, she still was not happy."You're always on my case about having kids with Walter, but what about my five uncles? You're not exactly rushing them down the aisle. Isn't that a bit unfair?" she challenged.Cole let out a weary sigh."Those uncles of yours? They march to the beat of their own drums. I can't make heads or

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
