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

Evangeline was in her secret hideout, meticulously dusting off the gift boxes until they shone like new.Satisfied, she tossed the cloth aside and flopped onto the bed, ready to stretch out and unwind. However, the moment she heard the ping of a text message, her relaxation was cut short.A photo of Walter and Minnie, looking far too comfortable with each other, flashed on her screen. Evangeline froze solid.It was one thing to hear rumors, but seeing it in person was a different thing altogether.Evangeline's moment of shock was brief, the strange number on her screen demanded her attention.If Walter had sent the message, he would have used his own phone. This was not Walter, but someone who stood to gain from their breakup.The photo on her screen was provocative, and Minnie's smug face came to mind.Was she bragging? Flaunting that she had snagged Walter and could then proudly stand by his side? Meanwhile, Evangeline, the one who truly belonged there, was stuck hiding away,

Walter thought back to that suggestive photo, and a sense of admiration for Minnie bubbled up. It was just a shot of a hand being touched, but Minnie had a way of making it seem like they had done something scandalous."So, you got Mr. Zimmer to invite me to your yacht bash just so I could see with my own eyes how happy you are with your new flame?" Evangeline scoffed.At that moment, she felt the sting of the truth: The guy she was crazy about was just downright mean.Back when she was alone, he blamed her for wrecking his thing with Julia. He got back at her, sure, but she could handle that.However, this? There was a saying that went, 'Even a wild beast would not eat its own young.' She was carrying his baby, crying out loud. Why did she have to put up with that kind of cruelty?Meanwhile, Minnie, who had popped out to brew some coffee, spotted Walter on the phone, his face a tangled web of emotions. She knew in a heartbeat it had to be Evangeline on the line.She dashed back,

Walter was fuming, the kind of anger everyone could feel in the air.Evangeline turned into the third wheel, popping all of Walter's dreamy bubbles. He was so ticked off that he could not even muster the energy to call out Minnie's obviously exaggerated stories.Alex's words were still buzzing in his ears. At that moment, all he wanted to know was whether Evangeline would get the slightest bit jealous over him.If she did, he would drop the act with Minnie in a heartbeat and focus solely on Evangeline and their child, even if it meant losing a crucial tip on the Bennison family, his arch-enemies."Evangeline, it would really bum both me and Minnie out if you weren't there for this big deal, so come on, join us," he said.That answer said it all about where Walter stood.Imagine, a husband and his side-chick all cozy celebrating a birthday, and the real wife was supposed to just show up and cheer them on? What kind of messed-up situation was that?However, Evangeline was not inti

The 'Mr. Foster' the bodyguard was talking about was Evangeline's Uncle Holden.Ever since her birthday bash, the only uncles hanging around the Foster family estate were Yale and Holden. The rest would occasionally check on her and Cole, but mostly they were off handling their own business.Lately, she had not been in touch with any of them, and they had not reached out either. She figured they were just swamped with work. Little did she know, she had been under her uncles' silent, watchful eye the whole time.Holden, without making a big deal out of it, had been her silent guardian.Feeling the warmth of her family, and the heightened emotions of pregnancy, she could not help but tear up."Where's Uncle Holden? I want to see him."The bodyguard checked his watch and said cautiously, "Mr. Foster is on his way as we speak. He should be here at ten. If you can hang tight, he'll fill you in on everything, okay?""Sure, go on and do what you need to do."Evangeline perched on the

Holden's brow creased with concern, as if he was wrestling with a big decision. Then, he pressed on, "To sniff out this mystery person, we spread some fake news and nabbed a guy named Beck from the file."After we grilled him, Beck spilled that he was just a pawn, with some shadowy figure pulling the strings. Their rendezvous point was—""Sunny Glow Beauty Salon," Evangeline cut in before Holden could finish, nailing the answer.Shockingly, Holden did not deny it but stared at her, utterly taken aback. "Evie, how did you figure it out? I only got wind of it myself a short while ago."Evangeline's face was a tapestry of emotions."I remember the one time I stepped into Sunny Glow Beauty Salon. That was when Walter popped up out of nowhere, like a ghost, and told me to stay away."She could feel it in her bones that Sunny Glow was a maze of secrets.Lydia, the woman who was like a shadow—always slipping through her fingers, a mystery buyer in the black market tracking her every mo

The more Evangeline pieced together the puzzle, the more her skin crawled.Lydia snooping around her was definitely not for anything good, but what really made Evangeline nervous was the thought of the heavyweight lurking in Lydia's shadow.The Gordons ruled the South, and the Fosters ruled the North. These were just a handful of words, but they said it all about where the Fosters stood in the country. Evangeline, the only princess of the Foster family, could not even begin to imagine the kind of monstrous power that would have had the guts to be nosing around them so openly.When the enemies were lurking in the shadows and they were out in the open, every face-off was a high-stakes game of survival. Evangeline was becoming more and more cautious about making any sudden moves.Holden caught on to how risky things were getting, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked at Evangeline. "Listen, Evie, you've got to be super careful these days."I'm going to beef up your security

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
