Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 362
It was quitting time at the Gordon Group building, and the company's entrance was bustling with employees heading home. His Maybach stood out like a beacon in the crowd.If he stepped out now, in full view of everyone, and let Minnie slide into his car… Would not that be like broadcasting to the world that there was something going on between them?Sure, he was curious about Minnie's intentions, but his heart belonged to Evangeline. The last thing he wanted was to fuel rumors with another woman!However, as Minnie's hopeful eyes locked onto his, Walter felt his resolve start to crumble.It was not about the allure of the woman before him. He had just realized that Minnie's choice to make that move so publicly was clearly calculated.Walter had finally figured out who Minnie really was, and he knew he would not have to deal with her anymore. The situation with Evangeline was already rocky, so he figured he could smooth things over later.With a dramatic sigh, Walter gave Minnie a

That was when the villa's key came into the picture.However, Minnie kept her dreams to herself.She had always wished to stand with her dear Walter as the sun dipped low, taking in the gorgeous view side by side.She gazed at the scene unfolding before her, and no words were needed. Her wish had already come to life."This is quite the spot," Walter commented, though his heart was not in it. His mind was busy piecing together the clues hidden in Minnie's casual chatter.Minnie was not a permanent fixture in that place.Nonetheless, her infatuation with the view there, paired with her absence, hinted that the villa belonged to someone else."Let's head in," Minnie suggested, eager to get on with the evening's significant affairs rather than linger in the twilight.Inside, the villa was a study in understated elegance, awash in shades of pale blue—a stark contrast to the vibrant reds Minnie and the vanished Julia were known to favor. Clearly, Minnie would not choose a color sche

Walter thought he had Minnie's real motives pegged. He was just playing around with his words, already on his toes.Minnie's eyes danced, and she playfully heaped on the praise."I trust you're a true gentleman, Walter, and a real gentleman would never take advantage of a girl," said Minnie sincerely. However, inside, she was already plotting her next move.Walter was at the height of his longing, especially since it had been ages since he had seen Evangeline. He was practically bursting at the seams.However, Minnie was not about to rely on Walter's willpower. To make sure she would have Walter wrapped around her finger, she had slipped a little something extra into his wine.Once he sipped that wine, even a saint would not be able to resist her charms!"So... how about a toast?"Walter took the wine, and their glasses clinked in unison.They shared a romantic dinner, and Minnie watched with relief as Walter finished off his wine.She had chosen a slow-acting potion with a po

However, Evangeline, who never wanted to step foot in the Gordon family's home, was oddly patient today. She spent ages chatting with Trey and did not even hint at leaving.Trey felt like he was about to lose it. Why did everything have to pile up today? If he did not have such a big thing to do, he would have been excited about Evangeline's visit!"Evie, it's getting pretty late, and hanging out with an old guy like me can't be all that exciting. Maybe you should hit up Walter?"He knew Walter was off with some other girl at the moment. However, he was sure his no-good grandson would not be dumb enough to let Evangeline catch wind of his shenanigans.That was his way of passing the buck. If he could just get Evangeline to step out for a bit, he would have the freedom to do whatever he needed to do!"No need, Grandpa, I actually like spending time with you."The thought of even remembering Walter felt like a waste of time to Evangeline, so why would she reach out to him?Besides

At the same time, Trey was not young. Could he handle that kind of stress?Evangeline chewed on her lip, worrying over it. In the end, she knew Trey's health came first.He had sent her away on purpose, which meant he was up to something he did not want her to see.Evangeline could not care less about the drama. She was just scared Trey might not hold up.So, she made up her mind to tail Trey's car. She kept her eyes glued to his every move, ready to swoop in if things went south.The two cars raced to the hillside villa where Walter and Minnie were holed up.Meanwhile, back at the Foster family's old place, Yale was pacing. He had heard from Cole that Evangeline had headed over to the Gordons', but she had not checked in. Knowing how close she was with the Gordons, he was on edge.He grabbed an excuse to bolt out the door and took his bodyguards to camp out at the Gordons' place, waiting to pick her up.He caught the tail end of the two cars peeling out.Worried about Evangel

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"He had just turned down Trey's invitation to come home that afternoon. How on earth did Trey find him so quickly?Minnie, caught in the middle of the grandpa-grandson showdown, finally grasped the gravity of the situation. She let out a shriek and dove under the covers, trying to hide her semi-exposed state.However, it was too late.Evangeline, who had arrived a bit late to the scene, had already caught an eye through the gap between Thomas and Trey."Grandpa, you..."She had watched Trey stagger out of the house, worried he was too frail, and had followed him upstairs. She was about to voice her concern when the scene in front of her struck her speechless.Trey spun as if he had been zapped, his face going from red-hot to ghostly pale at the sight of Evangeline.Caught completely off guard, he echoed Walter's question."Evie, what brings you here?"Evangeline gave a nervous laugh. "I saw you heading out and got worried about you, so I cam

Trey did not give a damn about Walter's pride. He snatched Walter's hand off Evangeline and took her hand in his own. "Evie, you know the score. Walter's always been a troublemaker."What was he even saying?Just because Walter was a troublemaker, he snuck off to see other women. Was Evangeline supposed to just forgive him?Was she missing something? She could not make heads or tails of Trey's words.Trey went on, "Cole told me everything. You're pregnant now, Evie. It's not just you to think about. You've got to take extra care. And don't worry about Walter the troublemaker, I've got him. I'll make sure he makes it right for you today!"Evangeline was not surprised to hear about her pregnancy; that was old news. However, she was wondering about something else.Walter was Trey's kin. What kind of explanation could he possibly offer?She figured it would probably just blow over like it always did.Honestly, she was past caring."Grandpa, don't worry about it, really. It's nothi

"Good day, Mr. Gordon." Yale greeted Trey with a bow that was all politeness. However, the iciness in his voice was unmistakable to everyone there.Yale was Evangeline's uncle, and as the head of the Foster family, he had just called Trey 'Mr. Gordon', making the family ties—or the lack thereof—abundantly clear.The polite words were just a product of good breeding.Trey was no stranger to reading between the lines, and he got the message loud and clear. His face turned a shade of dark that was downright scary.Evangeline had never seen Trey look so grim. However, with her uncles around, it was not her place to say a word.Trey stood there, getting the stink-eye from the other side, but he remained composed and stayed polite. He felt stuck, in a way, not sure what to say next.Yale could not stand to see the old guy squirm.He glanced around the room, where secrets seemed to be tumbling out like sunlight in spring, and said, "Funny how today's mess has got both our families, the

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
