Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 472
However, Minnie's anger had to wait.A sudden memory hit her. Walter's party had started at 10 in the morning, and then it was way past bedtime. If she hurried, she could still make it in time to give Walter his birthday surprise.Without her phone and without anyone to help, Minnie knew she had only one option, and that was to find Walter on her own.With her mind made up, she did not waste another second. She slipped into her high heels and stepped out of the room.The world outside her door was a whirlwind of life and noise, a total flip from the silence she had been trapped in. Ignoring the throbbing in her head, she moved through the crowd, her steps uneven but persistent.The dance floor was alive with energy, with couples spinning to the beat. Others lounged around, soaking in the scene. Minnie pushed forward, driven by a single goal—to find Walter before the night slipped away.Minnie spotted Walter's best friend Caden in an instant.Under normal circumstances, she would

Minnie's hair was a tad unruly, but her fingers worked through it, smoothing it back to sleek perfection.Catching her own reflection, finally free from the mess and shining bright, Minnie flashed a self-satisfied grin and sauntered into the ballroom.Whether it was Julia or Minnie, they were always the center of attention—unless Evangeline was around.So when the revamped Minnie stepped in, she instantly drew many admiring looks. The crowd watched her with hopeful eyes, each man aboard the ship wondering who might win her favor.With a casual flick of her delicate hand, she singled out the most unremarkable guy tucked away in the corner.Eyes from all corners of the room zeroed in on the man as he rose from his seat, his hands shaking like leaves in a storm.Minnie, with the spotlight on her, sauntered over to him and murmured, "Hey, could you... help me out?"Her eyes sparkled with mischief, practically casting a spell on him.The guy, who looked like he had never been the ce

Bathed in the soft glow of the lights, Minnie stood by the cruise ship's railing, pulled out the phone, and dialed a number. A stranger's voice answered."Hello, who are you looking for?"Lydia, ever cautious since her hospital escape, never took calls from unknown numbers.Minnie was aware of that and did not bother with pleasantries. "It's Minnie. Put Mrs. Lydia on the phone, quick."Lydia's voice came through shortly after. "Julia, you know I avoid unknown calls. Why'd you dial me with a strange number?""There's been a bit of trouble, and it's too much to explain right now."Minnie rolled her eyes at the thought of drudging through a mess of details. "Mom, cut to the chase. You said last time that everything was set, we just needed to find that woman. Was that for real?"Lydia could not hide the smugness in her voice as she replied, "Absolutely. The moment Evangeline, that little snake, lands in my grasp, she's done for!""Perfect!" That was exactly what Minnie was waiting

Walter's attention had been solely on Evangeline throughout the entire cruise party. As the festivities wound down, he realized he had neglected to spend time with his good friend Caden.With a sense of duty, Walter answered the call."Walter, where the heck are you? Don't tell me you invited us on this cruise and then decided to play hide-and-seek," Caden's voice came through, half-joking, half-annoyed.Walter could not help but smile, unfazed. "Of course not, I'm here. Just got tied up with some stuff and couldn't make it until now. How about we catch up over a drink now?"Walter tossed out his idea with such ease, his breezy voice hiding the fact that he would rather be anywhere else.Who would ditch their wife to hang out with a buddy, right?"Look, the drinks are just a bonus, Walter. I have to know: What's the deal with you and Minnie? You even invited her to your birthday bash. Don't tell me the gossip's true... you're looking to trade in Evangeline?"Caden threw the ques

David was strong and his anger fierce. The bodyguard, caught off-guard, was knocked flat. Knowing his error, the bodyguard did not even try to stand, instead pleading from the floor. "Mr. Zimmer, we messed up! We got caught up in all the excitement outside, and she was out like a light, so we... we just lost track of her!"Please, just let us off the hook this one time. Next time, I swear, you could knock me out cold, and I'd still be glued to that door, not budging an inch!"The bodyguards were all pleading, their faces long and gloomy, echoing the lead bodyguard's desperate plea."Next time, you say?" David smirked coldly, his teeth a stark white against the dim backdrop, giving off an ominous vibe. However, it was his words that really sent shivers down the spine. "After losing the person Mr. Walter Gordon wanted, do you really think there's going to be a 'next time'?"Right then, Walter burst into the room, flanked by his own bodyguards. He plopped down on the couch, his face a

While everyone else was off having a good time, Walter, David, and their bodyguards chaotically scrambled to get things under control.Walter realized that staying in the room would not change a thing. So, he decided to stick close to Evangeline, watching over her as she slept soundly through the night.Minnie was not the average troublemaker; she had the Bennison family in her corner. Whatever stunt she pulled, it never really came as a shock to him.David's investigation revealed that when Minnie made her getaway, he and Evangeline had been cutting a rug on the rooftop.The rooftop was a stone's throw from her room, so close that she did not even need to step outside to spot the dancing duo.However, Walter's worry was not for Minnie. It was all for Evangeline.If Minnie caught a glimpse of Evangeline getting cozy with him, her spiteful streak would kick in, and she would use her power to make Evangeline regret it.Everyone else might brush it off, but not Evangeline. Whenever

Evangeline froze. She could not fathom why Walter would blurt such an odd question.She was head over heels for Walter. The thought of marrying him filled her with such secret delight that she could barely contain it. Regret was the last thing on her mind.However, the harsh truth silenced the words she longed to say.Reflecting on the joyless marriage, Evangeline went quiet.She wriggled free from Walter's arms and sat across from him, their eyes meeting.Her beautiful eyes mirrored Walter's face, the one she had been dreaming of, and her stern look melted into one of ease and happiness.Walter caught every flicker of change in her, and his heart quietly danced to the rhythm of her moods.Maybe it was the intensity of Walter's stare that made Evangeline look away, feeling guilty. Her eyes drifted to the newly risen sun.Time seemed to stand still until Walter finally heard Evangeline's voice."Why get hung up on the past?" she said softly. Her hand gently caressed her growing

"See you later, Walter."It was not a final goodbye, but a promise of another meeting.There Walter stood, watching Evangeline leave the cruise ship, quickly shielded by a swarm of bodyguards.Just then, David, looking worried, hurried over to Walter with an update. "Mr. Walter Gordon, we've figured it out. Ms. Kast took the cruise ship's lifeboat to shore. Our guys have been on her trail, and she was last seen in the Newstead Zone.""Did you find her?" Walter's voice was icy.David went pale. "Not yet, but I'm about to lead a team there!"Walter gestured dismissively at David. "Forget it, I'll go find Minnie myself. You take extra people and make sure Mrs. Gordon gets back to the Fosters' place safe and sound!"Evangeline had slipped away like a shadow, and Holden, with a whole squad of bodyguards in tow, was a silent testament to one thing: The Foster family was on high alert, knowing she might be walking into danger. They were not taking any chances with her safety.The grap

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
