Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 375
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

Minnie's heart ached as she clutched Walter's arm tighter when she heard him."Walter, talk to me. Are you alright?"She looked at his pale face. Without a second thought, she placed her hand on his forehead right there in front of Trey, Aria, and all the bodyguards."Oh no, you're burning up! Walter, you've got a fever!"Minnie sounded concerned, her eyes brimming with tears and a touch of panic."Walter's got a fever. Didn't you call the doctor? Where are they?"Aria's whole future of living in luxury during her golden years hinged on her only son, Walter. The thought of anything happening to him was more than she could stand.Just then, a servant rushed in with the doctor.Aria did not even stop to ask Trey what had happened. She went straight into begging for mercy."Dad, whatever Walter's done, he's your grandson. Please, let him be treated first. Once he's better, you can punish him any way you see fit, and I won't say a word against it!""Please, Mr. Gordon, Walter's h

The moment Aria started talking, Walter sensed what she was really after. He was stunned. "Mom, you realize I'm injured, right?"Aria gave him an eye roll, "Yeah, I know you're hurt, and Grandpa did it to you. Now's your chance to milk it a little, play the sympathy card with him. He's getting soft in his old age, and he'll probably forget this whole mess before you know it!"As she thought about it, Aria felt a rant coming on. She let out a sigh, then said with a hint of annoyance, "Walter, I'm not trying to call you out, but you're usually so sharp. How could you mess up like this when it really counts? You and that girl outside, you guys have something special, don't you?"Grandpa just found out Evie's expecting. Even if you're head over heels for her, you've got to keep it under wraps, right? And of all times, why now? Grandpa is over the moon about meeting his great-grandkid. Aren't you making things awkward for him?"The questions hit Walter like a blast of icy wind.In a fl

Thus, while it appeared that Minnie was being well taken care of, the real goal was to keep her away from Walter.Aria's trick was pretty slick, especially since Minnie had never set foot in the Gordon family's old house.Too bad for Aria, Minnie was not just any girl. She was Julia, Evangeline's half-sister, and she knew the old Gordon place like the back of her hand.Walter had just been roughed up by Trey and had a blowout with Aria. He was in a foul mood, the kind where he just needed someone to tell him it was going to be okay.Minnie was not officially Walter's woman yet, and that left her feeling all kinds of nervous.With that, she was pulling out all the stops to win Walter over, to up her odds in that high-stakes game of the heart.Dressed in fresh clothes, thanks to Aria's meddling, Minnie asked a couple of servants where Walter hung his hat politely, and then made a beeline for his room.Standing outside Walter's door, Minnie waited, peering through the crack that Ar

What Walter did not realize was that Minnie, though clueless about his little test, had done her research to keep her true identity a secret."I'm not that incredible."Her cheeks flushed with a shy pink as she confessed, "I heard about the fight with your mom, and I was super worried. I had to ask a bunch of the house staff before I finally found your room."She was determined to protect her identity as Minnie if she was going to share a life with Walter.However, that was just for the time being. Once she had his heart securely in her hands, there would be no need for all that sneaking around."Hmm, pretty clever." Walter gave a noncommittal hum, a half-hearted praise, before he ventured a question, "Which room did my mom set you up in? Is it far from here? You must be tired from searching for me."He feigned concern, and it worked like a charm. He saw the flicker of emotion in Minnie's eyes."It's not bad, not too far."She could not really admit it was fair in a situation l

At least he, Walter, had been true to his heart, his emotions crystal clear.The night stretched on forever, and Walter had no clue when he had drifted off. All he knew was that when he opened his eyes, daylight flooded in through the window.He bounced back quickly, as young folks do. After a whole night of face-planting into his pillow, he could finally roll onto his side, a bit more comfy.As he wrestled with the sheets, a maid who had been sticking close to Trey tiptoed over. "Mr. Walter Gordon, Mr. Trey Gordon sent me to let you know Mrs. Gordon is coming. You might wanna get ready."Walter's heart did a somersault.His Mrs. Gordon? That was Evangeline and no one else.Was Evangeline really coming to see him?He rubbed his ear, his eyes wide as saucers."You're saying... who?"Evangeline... Why on earth would she come to see him?The maid could not help but chuckle at Walter's dazed look. "It's Mrs. Gordon, Evangeline from our very own Gordon family. Who else? Mr. Gordon

The old Gordon family home had undergone some obvious changes.Every hard corner had been cushioned with soft padding, and any dips or bumps in the floor had been evened out by skilled hands.No one had to tell Evangeline why. She knew those were all Trey's doing, baby-proofing the place for the little one she was carrying.Walking through the house, each alteration from her memories made her eyes well up with tears she fought to keep at bay.Evangeline had lost her mother at a young age, and with her father remarried, she never got to bask in the kind of love and attention she had craved. Sure, Cole and her uncles had showered her with affection later on, but she could not replace a lost childhood.Seeing her own child receive such love had filled her with a deep sense of relief.She had heard rumors e that Walter was still bunking in their wedding suite, so she picked up the pace. When she walked in, she spotted a maid in the middle of wiping Walter's face with a wet towel. 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
