Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 354
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'

"Grandpa, don't get the wrong idea, okay?" said Evangeline, almost begging, as she set the bowl down. Evangeline faced Cole with all seriousness. "Walter and I have been dreaming of this baby since we tied the knot. We've been planning for so long, and now that we're finally expecting, we're over the moon. I wanted to tell you the good news first, and I just... I just forgot about Mr. Gordon!"Evangeline dropped her gaze, doing her best to look like she was genuinely apologetic. She kept her fingers crossed behind her back, hoping for a break, when Cole's warm voice finally floated over. "Well, in that case, you better go tell him yourself."We're the Fosters, a big deal around here. We can't have people thinking our princess doesn't know her manners, can we?"Evangeline met Cole's eyes, knowing she could not dodge the bullet. She had to face the Gordons."Okay, okay, I'm on it! I've got to deliver such awesome news to Mr. Gordon myself." She grabbed the bowl and spoon again, gentl

Trey smacked his leg and spat out, "Run through it again? At this rate, that boy and Minnie will secretly have a kid before we know it!"'Poor Evie,' Trey thought, shaking his head. How did she fall head over heels for the black sheep of the family? She would have been better off with Alex, not Walter, the troublemaker. The latest fiasco had Trey enraged, and he could not dredge up a single happy thought about Walter. However, this was no time for regrets. It was time for action.His eyes smoldering, he barked orders at Thomas. "Find out where that no-good grandson of mine is taking his date. We're going to crash their little party!"Thomas, taken aback by Trey's intensity, could hardly believe what he was hearing. "Mr. Gordon, you mean to—""We're going to catch him red-handed!" Trey declared, his face stern but his voice steady.What kind of grandfather would go on a grandson-stalking mission? However, Walter had crossed the line, and Trey's pride was the last thing on his mind.

It was not that Evangeline did not miss Trey.The Gordon family's home, with all its familiar sights and sounds, always managed to stir up some not-so-happy memories for her. It was like the place had a way of bringing all those feelings right back to the surface.Then there was Trey, who had always stood by her and Walter. She was about to walk away from that relationship for good, taking the Gordon family's great-grandson with her. She could not help but feel guilty about leaving the old man behind."I'm sorry I haven't been around," said Evangeline regretfully. "Right after I took over at the Foster family's company, Walter and I had this huge fight, and I just couldn't find the time to come see you. By the time I managed to get a CEO to fill in for me, Grandpa Cole got sick, and one thing led to another... I'm really sorry it took so long."She was trying to be as sincere as possible, but words seemed to fall short of expressing even a fraction of the guilt weighing on her hear

Evangeline fought hard to keep her composure, forcing back the tears threatening to spill back.She paused in the act of removing her bracelet, wanting to say something to cushion the blow of what was essentially calling off her engagement, to warn Trey before it happened.However, Trey seemed distracted, his attention elsewhere.Thomas was well aware that his dealings could tarnish the Gordon family's reputation, so he was extra careful coming and going from their villa.He had planned to meet with Trey, but he always made sure to check his surroundings before making an appearance.What he did not expect was to spot Evangeline deep in conversation with Trey.He had no desire to bump into anyone but Trey, so he waited quietly to the side. Time dragged on, and the grandfather-granddaughter duo seemed to have an endless conversation.Thomas checked his watch, pacing back and forth with impatience, before he cautiously peeked out from where Evangeline could not see.Trey, with his

The thought of winning Walter over made Minnie's eyes twinkle with excitement. She was so eager she could hardly think about dinner, she just wanted to whisk Walter away and get down to business!"An absolutely quiet house..." The thoughtful murmur on the other end filled Minnie with hope.Then…"You're after my villa! That place is special, it's not meant for your little schemes."Minnie felt like she had been caught, but she was not ready to give up. She softened her voice and pleaded, "But even if it's special, is it more special than your most treasured possession—me? Plus, your villa's just sitting there empty. I'll only be there for a short while. If you're that worried, I promise I won't touch the master bedroom, deal?"Even though they were only connected by a phone call, Minnie stretched out three fingers to the sky, as if taking a solemn oath, to show just how honest she was being.Of course, Minnie thought differently. Once she got inside the house, she would be the on

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
