Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 487
Walter and Alex locked eyes for a moment. Walter's complexion was ghostly, his deep-set eyes a well of loneliness.Alex, parked in his wheelchair, looked calm. A subtle smile played on his lips, and his eyes crinkled with a touch of pride.Standing and seated, their gazes met, and without a word, they understood each other perfectly.Finally, Alex arched an eyebrow at Walter. "You know, I pulled you out of the Foster family brothers' grip, Walter. Aren't you going to thank me?"Walter's mouth twisted into a wry smirk.Years of rivalry had taught him to read between the lines. If he had not grasped Alex's motives at first, Holden's pointed question made it crystal clear. He would be a fool not to see the setup then.It all added up. Alex had foreseen Evangeline's predicament, knew the Foster brothers would come for Walter first, and positioned himself strategically. Just as the trio was on the verge of a showdown, Alex swooped in like a hero, sharing the news he had had all along

However, Lydia's appearance was bound to be a game-changer.It was not just the elusive Lydia. The people with her were all carrying packages, as if they were all in on a secret plan to make a getaway.The Foster family caught wind of the odd behavior and wasted no time in alerting Evangeline.The beauty salon was in the complete opposite direction from Emerald of the Highlands, but Evangeline knew what she had to do. Lydia was too important; she held the key to proving her mother's innocence and uncovering the shadowy figures who had taken her.Without hesitation, Evangeline ordered the driver to turn the car around and head for the salon.Despite her exhaustion, Evangeline felt the weight of the situation was far greater. She could always catch up on sleep after that was all over.It was that quick decision that kept her off the highway of doom, narrowly dodging a bullet.Evangeline raced to Sunny Glow Beauty Salon, arriving just as the dust settled from the recent commotion.

"Step on it. We've got to make it to the bust right away."Evangeline was itching to see Lydia get nabbed with her own eyes."However..." The bodyguard shot a worried look at Evangeline's baby bump, but after a moment's hesitation, he floored the gas pedal.Sunny Glow Beauty Salon was a good distance from Newstead Zone. The Foster family's car zipped down the road, finally catching up to their target just before hitting Newstead Zone.That was when the trouble started.Newstead Zone was all hills and curves, and the roads got trickier the deeper they went. The Foster's guards were new to those parts and did not know the lay of the land, so Lydia's car quickly left them in the dust.Evangeline's heart raced as the white car slipped out of sight.However, what she did not realize was that her bodyguard was even more on edge.He was responsible for the safety of the Foster family's treasured heir growing inside Evangeline. If anything happened on his watch, he knew he could never

Lydia's eyes were huge as she shakily pointed at Evangeline, looking as if she had just seen a ghost."You... What are you doing here, Evangeline?"Lydia was scared stiff. After all the elaborate schemes she had cooked up, including that deadly pile-up on Dannington Road, she could not believe the news of the crash had been wrong. Evangeline was instead very much alive and safe, baby bump and all.Evangeline figured Lydia was just shocked at being caught and did not make a big deal out of it. She leaned in close, her voice steady as she spoke, "What's the big shock? I've been counting the days. Ever since you vanished from the hospital, I made a vow to bring you back myself!"However, Lydia, out of nowhere, clutched her head with both hands and screamed at the top of her lungs."Ahh!"Her legs gave out as if all the strength had been sapped from them, and she crumpled to the ground, still holding her head, mumbling repeatedly, "No! It can't be! It just can't be Evangeline!"It w

"Breaking news alert. A massive pile-up on Dannington Road in downtown Avalon City has left hundreds injured at 12:38 p.m. today. Reports say up to two hundred seventy vehicles were wrecked, and over a thousand people were involved..."Evangeline zeroed in on the timestamp.That was right when she was supposed to hit the freeway.No wonder her uncles were freaking out. Holden was a mess; tears and snot were everywhere. Even Yale, a no-nonsense man, had eyes red and swollen."You guys thought I was in that mess on the highway?"Everything clicked into place. Evangeline gently grabbed her uncles' hands as she remorsefully apologized."I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It was all happening so fast that I didn't want to hold up anything important, so I didn't get the chance to tell you," she explained.Holden, finally at ease, gave an exaggerated eye roll."You have no idea. When we caught that news, our hearts dropped to the floor. If Alex hadn't shown us the security cam

"Listen, Evie, Alex is a very thoughtful guy. If you ended up with him, I guarantee you'd be happy."Holden's words started to twist, sounding more and more like he trying to match her with Alex.Evangeline was mid-sip when Holden's bombshell nearly made her do a spit-take."Uncle, do you hear yourself? I just divorced Walter, and now you're pushing me toward his brother? What am I to you? Or do you think a Foster girl is doomed to spinsterhood without a Gordon man?"She had married Walter for love. However, to jump from Walter to Alex right after a divorce was a whole new level of crazy.Holden, with all his years, harboring such wild ideas? Evangeline knew she had to squash that thought before it took root.Holden caught on to the unease in Evangeline's thoughts and let out a scoff. "Of course, our Foster girl wouldn't just get stuck on the Gordons, would she?"He had always thought his niece was head over heels for Walter's good looks. She had been dreaming of marrying the gu

Holden joined the conversation as he said, "That's why I think this crash was no accident."He looked straight at Evangeline. "Evie, it's too much of a coincidence. It feels like this was meant for you!"The twisted metal from the Foster family's car lay scattered at the epicenter of a catastrophic pile-up.Evangeline's mind raced away from the present.It was a horrific crash, claiming over a thousand lives. She could not fathom what she had done to cross someone so powerful. They had orchestrated that disaster just to take her out, under the guise of an accident."I have a hunch someone knows something," she mused.…In the secretive meeting room of Security tower.Evangeline clapped her hands, drawing skeptical looks from Yale and Holden.The bodyguards hauled in a figure shrouded in a black sack, struggling fiercely despite the restraint. The captive was strong, and it took four guards to subdue and bring her in.One guard, fed up with the struggle, barked a warning."Ke

One glance at the caller ID and Minnie knew it was Celina.She was due for her pampering session at Sunny Glow Beauty Salon any minute then. Celina's call must be a reminder, she figured.Without a second thought, Minnie answered, "Celina, I told you to bring my mom over here, didn't I? Look at the time! Why isn't she here yet?"The thought of seeing her mother again brought a smile to Minnie's face.However, her words sent a shiver down Celina's spine."Ms. Kast, there's a reason I'm calling..."Celina inhaled deeply, trying to steady her spinning head before continuing with as much composure as she could muster, "While we were moving Mrs. Lydia, we picked up a tail. To keep your location under wraps, we diverted to a different spot. However, those guys actually followed us and, without so much as a by-your-leave, they... they took Mrs. Lydia!""What are you talking about?"Minnie's heart stopped. She was in disbelief.Her mother had just pulled through for her in a big way,

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
