Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 479
"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

Thankfully, his bodyguard was alert and caught Walter just in time. "Mr. Walter Gordon, are you okay?"Struggling to stay upright, Walter managed to muster his remaining wits and said, "Quick, get David on the line!"He had sent David to guard Evangeline, so at that critical moment, reaching out to David was the key to the latest scoop.He had to find out if Evangeline was on that highway when everything went down.The bodyguards, clueless but not wasting a second, got David on the line.After what felt like forever of just ringing, David's harsh coughs finally broke through."Mr. Walter Gordon, I've failed, I just... I couldn't keep Mrs. Gordon safe..."David's voice was scratchy, like it had been dragged over rough sandpaper. By the end, he could even hear him choking up."David, spit it out! What's this 'couldn't keep her safe' all about?" Walter yelled, losing it completely with the shock of the news."I..."David was about to spill more, but all that came was a burst of

It was much better than Evangeline's situation, where there still had not been a word of news…Walter, who never was one for prayers, found himself pressing his palms together over his heart, wishing with all his might, 'Evangeline, you have to be okay! Please, come back to us safe and sound!'Walter could not spare a thought for the Foster family's chaos, but as Evangeline's own family, they were in total disarray.The Fosters were the first in Avalon City to hear about the disaster on Dannington Road.Just as Evangeline and Walter had parted ways, Holden had gotten word that Evangeline was headed back to the villa. It was then the bombshell dropped.Holden was shell-shocked. It hit him like a ton of bricks, and he could not make sense of it all.Evangeline had been on that highway. Evangeline might be... gone.Impossible!Holden refused to accept that could be the truth.As soon as he caught wind of the news, his first thought was of Cole, still on the mend. Thus, he made su

Holden knew that in a fair fight, he and Yale might not be able to take down Walter. However, with the element of surprise on his side, things were different. He caught Walter off guard with a swift kick to the gut.Walter let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale with pain. "Holden, why... Why did you hit me?"Holden had the upper hand then, and he was not about to let it go."I've been itching to do that, Walter. Forget everything else! Just the fact that Evie's out there on the highway, her life in the balance, and you're here babysitting your assistant—I'm livid!"You might not give a damn about Evie, but she's pregnant with your kid. How can you be so heartless about whether she lives or dies?"Holden rattled off his grievances and looked to Yale for confirmation. "Yale, I'm right, aren't I?"Yale paused, then nodded with solemn agreement."That's fair.""I didn't do it!" Walter's plea was cut short as Yale, too, swung a punch that zoomed toward Walter's left eye.Lu

They were not doubting their niece, Evangeline. However, surviving a wreck like that, especially right in the thick of it, seemed impossible.Even Yale, a tough-as-nails ex-soldier, did not let himself hope.The brothers had two things on their agenda when they showed up to see Walter. They wanted to give him a piece of their mind for Evangeline, and then get his help to figure out what happened to her.Evangeline adored Walter. Knowing he had done something, anything, for her would have given her some peace.However, the Foster brothers were on fire with anger. In no time, Walter was sporting a colorful bruise collection.He did not even try to fight back.After the crash, he was so devastated that he thought about giving up everything—the company, the Gordon legacy—and just dying with Evangeline.However, he did not need to burden Evangeline's uncles with those thoughts.However, when he heard what Yale had to say, he forced himself to calm down. "Yale, did you guys figure so

While Walter doubled over in agony, unable to fight back, Yale laid out his thoughts."Evie has a heart of gold, and she doesn't make enemies. However, ever since you hooked up with the homewrecker, she's been in someone's crosshairs, and we still haven't figured out who's behind it all."Come on, Walter, the truth is staring us in the face. Are you seriously going to stand there and tell me she's not involved?"Yale's interrogation came at Walter like a rapid-fire. Holden, listening in, was nearly floored by it.He never imagined that the word 'homewrecker'—so crass and lowbrow—would ever slip from the lips of Yale, who was the epitome of cool-headed sophistication.However, there it was, out in the open, and delivered with unexpected ease!Right then, Walter could not even focus on the sharp pain in his gut. "What? Evangeline's in someone's crosshairs?"Walter had always figured that if he kept Evangeline away from that shady Sunny Glow Beauty Salon and kept an extra watchful

By the time Alex got to the scene, it looked like a tornado had hit. Walter's blood was everywhere."Hey, hold up!" Alex yelled at the top of his lungs.Yale spotted Alex and was the first to back off.Holden, still fuming, gave Walter one last stomp before he quit. He faced Alex, all serious business, and laid it out straight, "Every wrong has a wrongdoer, every debt its debtor. We Fosters don't let things slide, but we don't pin stuff on the innocent either. Gordon family's number two, you're off the hook for Evie's car wreck. You're free to go."He gave Alex a dismissive wave, but Alex was not about to budge. Instead, he wheeled himself right up next to Walter."Sorry, but I've still got things to say, so I'm sticking around."I've got a hunch that Evie isn't dead!"That bombshell sent shockwaves through the trio.Yale felt internally torn. He would give anything for Evie to be alive, but after such a horrific crash, it seemed impossible…Holden, ever the hothead, jumped in

Holden rushed back and replayed the surveillance footage repeatedly, counting under his breath, "Three cars! No matter how many times I count, it's always three!"After he said it out loud, Holden had a sudden hunch that something was not adding up."Hold on. We knew Evie could be in trouble, so we sent a bunch of bodyguards to stick close to her. I'm not sure how many cars they took off in, but I'm positive there were more than three!"That meant Evangeline could be in another car that went in an entirely different direction!The Foster brothers locked eyes, a silent understanding passing between them, and hope sparked anew.Yale walked up, put the surveillance video back, and made sure to give Alex a firm handshake. "Alex, you've given us an important clue—thanks a ton!"Yale meant every word of his heartfelt thanks.In that nail-biting moment, the Foster brothers were on edge, like ants scurrying on a scalding pan. Alex's insight was like a lifeline thrown in the middle of a

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
