Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 404
Walter was fed up. He had to find solid proof that Minnie was actually Julia, to get that disgraceful woman out of his and Evangeline's life for good!Walter had made up his mind the moment his feelings for Minnie shifted. There was no way he had let what happened at the cafe occur again."Boss, they were out of your favorite cream of chicken and rice soup, so I grabbed some creamy wheat cereal instead..." David, carrying the takeout dinner, was rushing back to the office and mumbling to himself when he caught sight of the scene in front of him.The creamy wheat cereal he was holding dropped suddenly, spilling everywhere.Did he just see his boss and Minnie wrapped up in an embrace?The thud of the packing box echoed loudly in the deserted office, jolting Minnie out of her cozy moment with Walter. She let out a shriek, realizing who had just walked in."Ah!" Like she had been zapped by a bolt of lightning, Minnie leaped off Walter and scrunched up, ducking behind him for cover.

The mere mention of 'running the show' had Minnie blushing even harder, if that was possible. A sharp glint passed through Walter's eyes as his smile grew wider, a clear sign he knew exactly what he was doing."David, let's call it a day. Could you set up dinner for Ms. Kast? I've got stuff to do, so I'm heading out."Walter did not even pause as he got up to leave, but Minnie, still buzzing from the new thrill of romance, was not ready to let go."Walter, it's our first day as an item together. Can't you hang out just a bit longer, pretty please?"She was still floating on cloud nine from Walter's earlier affection, but the guy could flip a switch so fast. It was like one minute he was there, and he would be gone in the next, leaving her in a daze."Look, you're not exactly out of the picture with the whole cafe news scandal. If we're seen out together now, it's like we're asking for trouble. Plus, I'm still technically engaged to Evangeline. Getting too cozy with you isn't great

"I'm sorry..." Evangeline muttered an apology without thinking, accidentally stirring up Julieta's own heartaches."Don't worry about it, Ms. Evangeline. Beyond our jobs, we're both just people, right? If you ever want to get something off your chest, I'm all ears."Evangeline glanced at Julieta, noticing the tears welling up in her eyes, and shyly looked away. "Is that true?"Julieta, I lost my mom when I was little, and even though my grandfather and uncles are super sweet, they're guys. They don't really get the whole 'heart-to-heart' thing. You're the only one I can talk to about this stuff."Evangeline inhaled deeply, feeling overwhelmed by life's curveballs.Her best friend Roslyn was a whirlwind of energy, not exactly the type to grasp those fragile feelings. Why bother dumping all that on her and dragging her down too?Julieta offered a soft smile. "Anytime you need to talk about anything, I'm here for you.""I guess I know talking won't change much." Evangeline's gaze d

However, Evangeline just could not let go!They had shared nights of fiery passion, deep conversations that bared their souls. She had once held the heart of the man she adored. How could she just erase such treasured memories?…Before she knew it, winter had crept into Avalon City.Minnie had used the excuse of delivering documents to Walter to camp out in the CEO's office all day. The secretaries were murmuring their disapproval, but David smoothed things over.David did not want to clean Minnie's messes, especially when Walter doted on her way more than he did on Evangeline from the Gordon family, or even Julia.However, there he was, dealing with the fallout, all because Walter's office was the coziest spot during the biting winter. Minnie, always playing up how frosty she was, had ditched all pretenses and practically moved in, spending her days with Walter and David.David was sick of her constant chatter, her relentless pursuit of their boss' attention. Nonetheless, Walt

Walter's affection was smothering Minnie, his love a tight band around her chest.The excuses Minnie had conjured were crumbling before they could even take flight.The disappointment in Walter's eyes melted her resolve."I just couldn't stand to leave you!" She nibbled on her lip and smoothed out his unruly bangs with a gentle hand. "But I'd just get in the way of your work, sticking to you like glue. If I messed with the company's bottom line, wouldn't I be the villain stealing bread from our team's table?"She laid it on thick, hoping Walter would catch on to her desperate need for a breather and buy her flimsy excuse, if only for a short while.However, Walter's reaction was unexpected. His brows knitted together, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. "Who's been saying you're a distraction? That's just not fair. Spill it. There's been too much gossip flying around the office, and it's high time for a crackdown."Minnie had never seen that side of Walter and braced herself

Minnie's face twisted into a look of distress. She took Walter's large hand and gently swayed it back and forth. "Walter, please, just let me go..."Walter could tell she was dead set on leaving, but he still asked with a tone of finality, "Are you sure you want to go?""Positive!" Minnie nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at the ground for food."When will you be back?"Walter was asking Minnie, but he could not help glancing at his watch."Two hours, tops. I can't spare any more time.""I guess I'll just have to deal with being apart from you for two hours." He said it with such resolve that Minnie knew there was no point in arguing.However, the thought of escaping Walter's gaze for even a moment filled Minnie with joy. She figured two hours would be plenty.With a spring in her step and a smile on her face, Minnie hurried out of the company.Little did she know, right after she left, David made up some excuse to duck out of the office and, with a companion in tow, stealth

Walter did not waste any time diving into the report David had sent over.'Sunny Glow Beauty Salon'.The name was catchy and easy to remember.It looked like just another beauty salon, small and freshly opened.Minnie was a sucker for beauty treatments, always fussing over her complexion, so her patronage was not odd on its own.However, what did not add up was why Minnie, a woman who had traveled the world and pampered her skin, would choose that no-name spot for her facials. She could pluck any salon from the streets of Avalon City and it would outshine that place in fame, size, and service.The moment Walter flipped to the first page, his instincts told him something was not right.He had a hunch that the rest of the report, even if it did not spell everything out, would point him toward the truth.He was right—the salon was at the heart of his suspicions.It was a place with no history and no reputation, yet its clientele was the city's elite, dropping thousands without a

Snow Wolf had a sixth sense for sniffing out the unusual, and it was not often he labeled something as odd.That alone was enough to grab Evangeline's attention, and she pressed him, "What's so odd about it? Out with the details."However, Snow Wolf was never one to play it by the book. "I'll shoot the details over to you. Take a look and we'll see if we're on the same page."The ping of a sent email echoed in her ear, and Snow Wolf was quick to add, "Check your inbox, I've sent the info.""You could've just told me straight up. Why the pop quiz?" Evangeline grumbled. His skills and temper always went hand in hand, but she never believed it—until Snow Wolf came along.The guy was a no-nonsense doer, but his moods are out there. If he did not want to spill, prying a word out of him was a monumental task."So, anything else? If not, I'm about to hang up." Evangeline had already clicked open the email attachment, ready to dive into Snow Wolf's latest 'challenge' as soon as the call

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
