Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 369
"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

"Ahem!"Holden cleared his throat, turned, and without a second thought, spat right in Walter's face.As he walked away, he muttered under his breath, "What a loser."Holden picked up the pace, eager to catch up with Yale and Evangeline.Evangeline sat in the front passenger seat of Yale's armored limo, a spot he had picked out for her.In the back, Holden was still steaming, grumbling non-stop. "Evie, you have to listen to me this time. What's Walter even worth? After turning his back on us, we can't have anything to do with him! And the baby you're carrying? Just have it in peace, and it'll have the Foster name. After what Walter did, I can't believe that Gordon guy has the nerve to fight us for the kid!"Holden was so full of righteous anger that Evangeline felt the urge to calm him. She did not want her family getting all worked up over her problems, especially not to the point of regret. "Uncle, don't get so mad about him. Think about it differently. Walter and I are splitti

"Grandpa Cole must be worried sick by now..."Evangeline had been away from home for so long that she could not help but think that Cole must be beside himself with worry.Holden gave her shoulder a reassuring pat. "Relax, Evie. Yale and I had informed him you were safe as soon as we found you. He's at home right now, waiting for you to come back."The thought of going home made Evangeline's recently calmed heart race again.She could not possibly tell Cole the truth about today's chaos, and even though she had braced herself for Walter's betrayal with Minnie, it still stung when it happened.Facing Cole with all those tangled feelings would only make him worry, would it not?"Um... Uncle Yale, could you drop me off at Emerald of the Highlands instead? I... I'm not ready to face Grandpa Cole just yet."It was not that she did not want to see him. She just did not know how to explain everything without Cole seeing right through her.Holden was immediately against the idea. "Evie

If Cole had not been weighed down by age and sickness, he would have seen right through Evangeline and Walter's petty schemes in a heartbeat.Yale had to admit, he was seeing Cole's smarts in a whole new light.However, Cole was no rookie. His mind might get foggy, but he was not totally out of it.One thing was crystal clear to Yale: If Evangeline did not show up immediately, Cole's imagination would run wild.The mess unfolding before them would not hold up under the slightest poke. If Cole got wind of Walter chasing skirts while Evangeline was expecting, it would probably send him to an early grave.Thus, Yale nudged Evangeline to head home.Then again…"Evie, you're your own person now. We can't call the shots for you. Just say the word, and I'll get you wherever you need to go."We've got a half-hour till the fork in the road. No pressure—just think it over..."Yale fell silent. Holden, sharp as ever, caught on to their drift without another word.Evangeline's gaze drift

"Walter, my dear grandson, finding a mistress while your wife's expecting?"The sound of a sharp smack echoed.A cane, as if it had thorns, struck Walter's back with force. His shirt, already strained to its limits, tore open, revealing the raw, painful wounds beneath.The once pristine white shirt was then dotted with red, like tiny, delicate flowers, or perhaps like drops of blood and tears falling, creating a pattern of splattered teardrops.Walter's back was on fire, but that pain was nothing compared to the chill in his heart."Just hit me, then!" He yelled defiantly at Trey, as if he had nothing left to lose.Deep down, he thought it would be better to die at his grandfather's hand than to face the humiliation of divorcing Evangeline later.There was a saying, no? No matter how many years they had been together, if they did not have that divorce certificate, they were together for life."What are you trying to say?" Trey, having used all his strength in that last hit, too

With Evangeline not biting, Minnie turned her scheming eyes toward Trey.She silently watched like a hawk, just waiting for Trey to drop a golden chance into her lap.The moment she saw Thomas wavering with his cane, she knew it was go-time."Stop the beating!"Minnie's shout rang through the air. Without a care for her disheveled dress, she lunged onto Walter's back, acting like a human shield, while sobbing her heart out, "Mr. Gordon, it's all on me. Please, stop hitting Walter!"Trey, staring at that whirlwind of a woman, could only kick himself for being so forgetful.Walter was caught red-handed with a lady, so was not she just as guilty? How did he end up grilling his grandson and forgetting about the girl entirely?Thomas, already in a bind with Trey pushing him to take action, found him out with the wild-haired woman's sudden entrance.He glanced at Trey, his voice a mix of relief and hesitation. "Mr. Gordon, what about this...?"With a dismissive gesture, Trey signale

Did she really not know? It did not matter how one joined the family. The moment there's a baby on the way, all the old scandals and disgraces would be forgotten at the sight of a new great-grandchild.What she had not counted on was that Evangeline was already expecting Walter's baby.That complicated things, but she would handle Trey first."Walter is my grandson, and I'll decide if he needs to be disciplined. Now, answer my question," Trey demanded.Since the rise of Gordon Group, Trey was used to getting answers whenever he asked. Thus, this girl's silence was a bold move, indeed.Even so, even though his authority was being challenged, Trey could not muster up any anger when he looked at her face—a face that stirred a sense of compassion.After all, she looked so much like Julia, Evangeline's half-sister, sharing the same father but born to a different mother.Walter's back was a map of scars, and Trey finally understood. His grandson would rather face the wrath of a thousa

Aria was beside herself with worry, frantically instructing the servants to call a doctor to tend to Walter's injuries. It was only then that she noticed Trey, looking grim, and a woman who bore a striking resemblance to her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Julia.She froze, taken aback.After years of navigating the Gordon family's waters, her instincts told her something big had gone down. Nonetheless, no matter what had happened, she could not just stand by while her precious son was injured.With fury in her eyes, she spun to confront the bodyguards. "Who's in charge here?"Thomas stepped up immediately. "Ma'am, how can I assist you?"Thomas was supposed to take orders from Trey alone, but he answered Aria just to keep up appearances for Trey's sake.Too bad Aria did not get the memo.She never bothered with the details about her own security team and did not even recognize Thomas, who seemed to have come out of nowhere. All she did was let out her fury."What kind of protection

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
