Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 448
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

Finally, Walter took the reins of the conversation."Playing around on this cruise is getting pretty boring, don't you think? We should spice things up by inviting some friends. And hey,"A spark lit up in Walter's eyes as if he had just had an epic idea."We've got to have Evangeline there. It's my birthday, after all. If my wife skips out, it'll be the talk of the town. David, you've got to make sure she comes, by any means necessary!"Walter's mood had done a complete flip, and Minnie felt the sting of it deep inside.Why did he have to think of Evangeline, of all people, at a time that should be filled with joy?"Walter, are you into Evangeline or something?" Minnie's voice rose with her accusation, "I mentioned a cruise to catch the sunrise, and you couldn't care less. However, bring up Evangeline, and you're all fired up..."She stood up abruptly, her eyes welling up with fresh tears that traced the paths of old ones down her cheeks."If you're into Evangeline, just be st

Evangeline remembered she had promised to pen a track for her best friend Roslyn's new album and had not even started. Hence, she got down to business, writing like a whirlwind.Her ideas were flowing non-stop, and she was all in on the writing sesh until she snapped back to reality at two in the afternoon.She pulled out her phone, like always, to check for any messages she missed and saw David's missed call right away.Why was David, who was practically glued to Walter, calling her?She raised an eyebrow.However, knowing David was not one to bug her for no reason, and not wanting to miss out on something major, she called him back, even though she was not exactly thrilled about it."Mrs. Gordon, you finally hit me back."David was practically crying with relief when Evangeline finally called him back.He had tried reaching her at noon but got no answer. Then he just zoned out, staring at his phone.He thought about calling again but did not want to disturb her. Not calling
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 454
Evangeline was not just going to Walter's birthday bash to celebrate her almost-ex. She was going to make sure she left with no regrets.She planned to close the chapter regarding all the feelings she had for Walter, believing that with each memory put to rest, her attachment to him would fade away. Quickly, he would be nothing more than a ghost in her past.Hanging up the phone, she went to her secret hideout. It was a cozy studio apartment, nothing fancy, but it was her own little world.Tucked away in an unremarkable neighborhood, the place was simple, yet it had everything she needed. She called it her secret hideout because it was her private sanctuary that no one else knew about.Ever since she started violin lessons with Loberni, music had become her forte. The first song she penned for her bestie Roslyn took the country by storm, and with it, she earned her first big paycheck.Evangeline had always dreamed of a place she could call her own. Thus, she went behind everyone's

However, when Walter saw it was Minnie, the fearless woman, he could only drop his work and give her his attention.Still, he made sure to extricate her from his arms and keep a professional distance. "What's up, Minnie? Getting bored?" he asked.However, knowing that Walter was a true workaholic, Minnie figured she had already gotten special treatment for not being kicked out for her antics. So, instead of dwelling on it, she decided to get straight to the point."I was just thinking, with your birthday coming up, it'd be very weird if Evangeline didn't show. However, things are so frosty between you two. Wouldn't it come off as pretty half-hearted if you just sent Mr. Zimmer to invite her?"The word 'half-hearted' immediately caught Walter's attention. He eyed Minnie, who was obviously tiptoeing around something she had not yet said, and cut to the chase, "What's on your mind?""If you really want Evangeline to show up, you've got to be the one to call her, Walter. Once she sees
