Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 349
"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

Walter had a good grasp of Evangeline's uncles' situation. Each one was a catch but without a girlfriend, which clearly meant they were not looking for love. Was this something Evangeline could change with a simple pitch?"Come on, do I look like I have that kind of time on my hands? To play matchmaker for Grandpa's amusement?"Evangeline shot Walter a sidelong glance, but the memory of their little performance in front of Cole zapped her confidence. "Look, our mess is unique. I've pretty much given up on our shot at a happy ending, so let's just make sure the rest of the family gets theirs. If Grandpa ever gets wind of our drama, maybe the others' bliss will cushion the blow for him."She was trying to give her grandpa an emotional Band-Aid before he ever needed it. Next on her list was to tackle the love lives of her uncles, starting with Yale and her best friend, Roslyn. The thought perked her right up, washing away the gloom.However, Walter was hung up on the whole 'given up h

David's cheeks burned with shame. He was the right-hand man to the big boss of Gordon Group, and he would just be booted out of the office for all to see. How was he supposed to show his face?However, when it came down to it, facing Walter's icy glare, David did not think twice before he made a beeline for the exit.He shut the office door behind him, leaving only a door between him and Walter. Leaning against the cool wood, he breathed a sigh of relief and dabbed at the sweat breaking out on his forehead. In his head, he could not help but shout, 'Who in the world ticked off the boss this time?!'The boss's mood swings were like a roller coaster, making life difficult for everyone trying to do their jobs.The chill from the boss's office did not take long to reach the secretaries. The head of the department stared at the hefty stack of papers in her hands, feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place.Lately, Walter had been all over the place emotionally, and the secretaries w

Anyone else would be fuming if they were the subject of such talk.Minnie had been playing the long game at the office. She timed her moves perfectly and swooped in when everyone else steered clear of Walter.She was stirring the pot, hoping to get tongues wagging. After all, if the whole office started buzzing about her and Walter being more than just colleagues, Walter would find it a lot harder to cut her loose.She pretended to be all flustered but secretly thrilled as she picked up a stack of papers and sashayed into the office.The moment Minnie learned that Walter and Evangeline were done, she hatched a plan. She was going to make her move while Walter was down in the dumps, and she was going to make sure he fell head over heels for her.That way, she would lock down the title of Mrs. Gordon of the Gordon family for good. Evangeline, that snake, would be forced out with no way back into the fold.Kicking her own half-sister to the curb did not even make Minnie blink. She b

Walter's last line was loaded with meaning, making Minnie stop and think.To Minnie, it came off with a hint of bitterness. 'Oh my gosh. Was Walter actually jealous? Jealous of Alex, because of me?'Minnie's cheeks turned a bright red, her face heating up as she tried not to slap some sense into her flushed skin, murmuring, "No way! Everyone calls me Minnie, but I was hoping you'd come up with something unique for me."It was just the two of them in the office, and even though she spoke softly, Walter caught every word."Isn't it nice that everyone calls you that? Why do you want me to be different?" Walter's voice was teasing, laced with a flirty undertone.If Evangeline were there, she would have pegged it right away as Walter's classic move—laying on the charm thick.However, Minnie was not just some bystander like Evangeline. She was head over heels for Walter, and in a moment of passion, she walked right into his little game of hearts."Because... Because, Mr. Walter Gordon

Lounging on the garden rocking chair, Trey enjoyed his coffee and casually rang up Walter. "Walter, swing by the house tonight, I've got something to discuss with you."Walter did not have a clue about treating his wife Evangeline right. If Trey did not step in and set him straight, they might end up with divorce papers. What then? Where would he find another gem like Evie for a granddaughter-in-law?"Grandpa, I'm swamped with work. Can't make it home," declined Walter without a second thought.He had plans with Minnie that evening, and bailing was not an option.However, what weighed on him the most was his rocky relationship with Evangeline. He was not even sure if he should spill the beans about the pregnancy to his grandfather, much less face him head-on.Walter, a titan in the boardroom known for his cutthroat decisiveness, found himself unusually hesitant, trying to dodge his problems with half-hearted excuses.The realization stung. That was not him at all.Even so, what

"I think you're amazing! The Gordon family has been a rock in Avalon City for years, all thanks to you being our anchor. Without you, who knows where Walter would have taken the company with his limited skills?"Everybody loved a good compliment. Trey, getting on in years, was no exception when it came to enjoying a bit of praise.Since it would not hurt Walter's standing as the head honcho, Aria did not hold back on dishing out a couple of sweet nothings to keep Trey entertained.Alas, she missed the mark on what Trey was really getting at.He shook his head repeatedly. "That's not what I meant. I'm asking about how I am with the grandkids. What's your opinion on that?"Walter had defied him time and again, forcing him to take a hard look at himself.Had he done something to give Walter the wrong idea, making Walter think it was okay to disrespect his own grandfather?"Kids these days..."She was starting to regret topping off Trey's coffee! Who would have guessed that Trey, a

"Evie, what brings you here?" Cole asked, his voice filled with a happy surprise."Oh, what's the matter, Grandpa? You don't want me here? Maybe I should just head back?" Evangeline teased, but her body language said the opposite.She sat on the couch next to Cole and tossed her bag onto the coffee table without a second thought. She clearly was not going anywhere."Now that you've made it here, where do you think you're going?" said Cole, half-joking, half-worried, as he grabbed her hand. "Evie, don't forget, you're always welcome here, anytime. I'm just concerned about you, you know? You're having a baby, and you should be taking it easy."Evangeline caught the worry in Cole's eyes and quickly reached out to give his hand a reassuring pat. "You're fretting over nothing, aren't you? This little one inside me is tough as nails. Mrs. Lewis even told me it's better to keep moving when you're pregnant, instead of sitting around like everyone says. It's good for the baby, as long as I'
