Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 444
Walter figured that even if Evangeline did not adore him as she did Alex, the fact that they shared a child had to mean she felt something for him, right?"Hahaha!" Alex's laughter rang out, unrestrained and so full of mirth that he almost cried.He let go of Walter's collar, stepping back to put some space between them."Walter, do you even buy that excuse?"Before Walter could muster a response, Alex's icy voice cut through again, "Do you really not know why Evie kept the child? Cole might be clueless, but you? Quit lying to yourself, okay? My dear brother!"The words 'dear brother' dripped with a warmth that did not reach Walter's ears; all he heard was biting sarcasm.Alex's probing questions lingered, but the truth had always been buried in Walter's heart.Evangeline had only decided to keep the child because of Cole's illness. If it were not for that, she would never have agreed to have his child.Walter could not recall how he left Alex's dorm building.He felt like a l

However, how did things turn out? Evangeline went straight to Cole and said she wanted to marry Walter, and Walter was all she ever talked about.Then, Walter had taken Evangeline for granted, leaving her shattered. He adored her and could not stand seeing her so torn up. He wanted her to lean on him, to heal her broken heart. How could that have been wrong?No, he was not the one at fault there!If anyone was to blame, it was all on Walter. He never should have married Evangeline, never should have taken her for granted, and definitely should not have gotten her pregnant!Just thinking about that kid growing so boldly inside Evangeline's belly made Alex seethe with rage. It was like an itch he could not scratch!…Sunny Glow Beauty Salon.Lydia's frown could have cut steel as she listened to her minions report back to her.For the sake of her beloved daughter's marriage to Walter, and to exact her revenge, she had been determined to get rid of Evangeline's baby no matter what.

"Leave this to me," declared Minnie with a triumphant smirk. "Just wait for the news."She hung up and thought of Walter, still snoozing in the lounge, and picked up her pace.However, as soon as she entered the office, there was David, ever the loyal guard at the lounge door.The sight of him made her blood boil, and she stomped her foot in silent fury.David was a thorn in her side, always messing up her plans. She needed to find a way to convince Walter to give him the boot.Still, Minnie greeted David with a dazzling smile. "Morning, Mr. Zimmer."David nodded, blocking her path to the lounge with a polite but firm stance. "Ms. Kast, the boss is sleeping in there, and it's probably best not to wake him."Minnie holding up the cup of warm water. "No worries, I'm just dropping off some water for Walter so he's not parched when he wakes up. I won't make a peep, promise."Minnie was ready to tiptoe into the resting room, but David was not having any of it. "How about we hold off

"You... you're way out of line!"Minnie was panting with frustration when she slipped. The glass she was holding crashed to the floor.Shards and splashes went flying, turning the spick-and-span office into a bit of a disaster zone.Anyone else would have been mortified after spilling their drink, scrambling to wipe up the mess before anyone noticed. However, Minnie was not just anyone. She was sure of her special status, and Walter adored her too much to ever let her deal with such trivialities.With only the bothersome David around, he was the obvious choice to handle the situation."Mr. Zimmer, didn't your boss, Mr. Walter Gordon, tell you to look after me? So shouldn't you be the one to clean this up?" she said, her voice dripping with condescension as she rolled her eyes at him.She expected David to flush with anger and reluctantly tidy up her mess.To her surprise, David just flashed a warm, inviting smile and gestured politely. "Absolutely, Ms. Kast. Please, take a seat

When Minnie's water cup shattered against the floor, Walter's eyes snapped open. He was dead tired and did not jump out of bed right away. However, he had not counted on the escalating shouting match between his assistant and a girl, which got so loud that not even burying his head under the covers could muffle their bickering.Finally fed up, Walter stomped over to the doorway just in time to catch Minnie's dramatic declaration.David, meanwhile, looked down, wisely choosing to stay out of it.Realizing Walter had overheard her, Minnie's face went white with embarrassment.With David still there, smirking at the drama, Minnie felt her cheeks burn. She had no choice but to face the music, even if she had to fake her bravery.However, with Walter, she could not be as bold as she was with David.Her eyes danced with a soft light, and she flashed a coy smile, quickly steering the conversation elsewhere. "Walter, when did you wake up? You were up so late last night, why not sleep a l

"So, you decided to throw a tantrum and smash the cup?" Walter, piecing together the scene he stumbled upon earlier, cut Minnie off mid-sentence."No way!"Minnie was close to tears, her voice quivering. Walter's accusation stung, and even if she had done it on purpose, she could not own up to that."It was a clumsy mistake, the cup just slipped." As she spoke, Minnie's tears started to fall, and she hurriedly fessed up to Walter."Walter, please don't be mad. It's all on me. I'm big enough to know better, yet I can't even hold onto a cup. Not only did I break it, but I also woke you up..."Minnie, already a picture of innocence, put on her most woeful face, which was usually enough to melt anyone's heart.However, in the CEO's office, only Walter and David were present, and they were no strangers to Minnie's sob stories. Instead of feeling sympathy, they were almost tempted to push her further, just to see a more dramatic display of tears. It was a sight to behold.Walter felt

Minnie was doing that all on purpose.She was dying for the whole company to buzz about her and Walter, the big-shot president of Gordon Group. If the rumors spread, maybe Walter would feel forced to marry her after his divorce from Evangeline.Her fingers lightly traced Walter's cheek, the playful suggestion clear as day."Walter, you seem down. Look at you, bags under your eyes and all. Didn't catch much sleep, huh?" said Minnie, her voice dripping with fake sympathy, giving David a nudge to notice.Something was up with Walter, that was for sure.David could not help but turn his full attention to him.Walter shrugged off Minnie's clingy hands as if it were nothing. "Does it really matter how I feel? Life goes on, right?"The memory of last night made Walter's chest tighten with pain. If Cole had not been so set on having a great-grandson, he and Evangeline would probably be history already.He used to think Evangeline's heart belonged to Alex. However, with those two lovebi

"Imagine celebrating your birthday out on the ocean—it'd be the ultimate romantic adventure," said Minnie, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Walter, however, was lost in a different thought. "Does watching a sunrise together at sea really guarantee a lifetime of happiness?"He wondered if doing that with Evangeline would mean they would be happy together. The odds seemed against it, but part of him wanted to believe in the magic of the moment.What if it actually worked?"So, what do you say, Walter? Are you in?" Minnie asked, her voice tinged with hope.If Walter said yes, it would put Minnie's mind at ease. The sky stretched endlessly above them, and the dawn blushed a deep red. Could there be anything more romantic than two people coming together with the first light of day?"I'll think about it," Walter replied, his heart not really in it. He wanted to experience that moment, but not with Minnie. He could not just come out and say that, of course. He had to calmly find some

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
