Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 49
[Walter: Where are you all at?][Caden: I'm tearing up the track at Sunlit Heights. Don't you dare come and ruin my fun. If she's not Mrs. Walter Gordon, I'm shooting my shot with both these ladies.][Walter: You're really going for it, huh?]Jordan, who was really Caden in disguise, could easily pass for some carefree youth. His family was high-profile, and they would flip if they knew he was risking his neck in races. They would rather see him confined to a wheelchair than reduced to ashes in an urn.Staring at the photo, Walter's gut told him it was Evangeline. That unmistakable, killer figure could only belong to her, and it clicked—he remembered her dramatic motorcycle exit the last time she stirred up trouble.A wild urge surged through him, powerful and unstoppable.Walter slipped into his racing gear and roared out of the garage on his long-neglected bike, gunning it towards Sunlit Heights.'If that is you out there, Evangeline, ready to throw down, count me in.' Walter'

At the shrill blast of the whistle, a dozen bikes shot off like unleashed beasts, kicking up a storm of dust.Roslyn's bike picked the worst time to act up, leaving her stranded. She shrugged it off, knowing she could not outpace Jordan anyway. She revved up her cheers and sent a drone to capture the action.The mountain was swarmed with fans, all there to witness the clash of the titans.The race did not disappoint, delivering heart-pounding thrills, especially from the leaders who drove with wild abandon.Walter, the dark horse, had surged ahead, overtaking Jordan and leaving Evangeline trailing.However, Evangeline was not one to give up easily. She made a daring move on a high-speed curve, flirting with the edge of a cliff.Sparks scattered in a wild dance as Evangeline leaned into the turn, her knees a whisper away from kissing the asphalt. Walter's pulse raced when he saw the reckless display in his rearview mirror.What was she thinking? Was winning worth her life?With

Walter shrugged her off, his fury unfurling like a stormy night, enveloping everything in its path.His piercing look swept over Caden, who nearly collapsed, before he said, "Hey, aren't you supposed to be the queen of the track? What are you doing here? Where's the real deal?"Clearly, that was not the same queen of the track from earlier. The real one had bolted.The girl turned ghostly pale, her voice quivering, "I… I have no clue...""Don't blame me, Walter. Mrs. Walter Gordon probably panicked and took off," Caden quickly interjected."Big deal!" Walter snapped, smacking the gloves against Caden's face, and marched off with purpose."Hey! Walter, where to?"Caden sure did not want Walter making a scene in his haste. He feared Walter's wrath, a fallout he was not ready to face.…Evangeline had sped down the mountain in Roslyn's car, a smirk on her face after duping Walter. The only downside was missing the chance to see him make a naked dash for it. However, as she reache

Walter was angered at the sight of Evangeline causing chaos in the dead of night.He was sure the figure he had spotted was not Evangeline, even though they wore identical helmets. After Walter and Caden came up empty in their racetrack search, he dialed her number."Where am I, you ask?" Evangeline's voice stretched out teasingly, "At home, but I'm about to head to the hospital to check on your sweetheart. You know, I've heard that mistresses get a rough deal these days. Should I give her a taste of her own medicine?"Walter's expression turned stormy. "Evangeline! What are you trying to stir up now?""She insisted on this meeting, so let's make it at the hospital," she said, cutting off Walter without a second thought and abruptly ending the call with a decisive click.…Julia lay on the hospital bed, the very picture of vulnerability. Half-sitting, her face was a canvas of pallor as she tearfully shared the day's harrowing events with her online audience.Aiming for stardom,

Julia saw him when she turned—Walter, looking like he had just trekked through a dust storm, standing at the hospital room's entrance.Evangeline nearly whistled in admiration. He had arrived quicker than she had expected.At that moment, Julia was a picture of distress with tears streaming down her face. Andrew was slumped in a chair, clutching his chest as if wounded."You made it," said Evangeline, her voice dripping with mock surprise.True to form, Walter had come running the moment Julia needed him. Evangeline realized she had been the fool for far too long—it was time to bow out."Walt, she's lost it. I'm terrified." Julia clung to Walter by the bedside, her eyes brimming with tears, the picture of a damsel in distress."Don't worry, I'm here now," Walter reassured her, gently patting her back.His gaze fell on the livestream, and his face turned to stone.Julia quickly killed the feed.Evangeline did not wait for Walter to respond.The show was over, and she had said

"Miss, you know how it is—gossip spreads faster than wildfire. How about I call in the PR team to sort this mess out? Give it a few days, and those keyboard warriors will have moved on to their next target," offered Wade."Hold on. Let things play out just a bit more," said Evangeline calmly, unfazed. If Julia was so keen on grabbing the spotlight, Evangeline was more than happy to help her shine—right before taking her down a notch.Wade watched Evangeline, who seemed to enjoy the drama unfold, and felt exasperated. She had the full weight of her family's power behind her, yet she stubbornly refused to use it, letting some nobody strut around like she owned the place.Wade was about to try his luck at persuading her again when her phone buzzed with a call from her eldest uncle, Yale Foster."Hey, Uncle Yale, you've just finished a Peacekeeping mission. Didn't you head off to Bali for a vacation? What's up with calling me?" Evangeline's voice was playful.Her uncle was a tough guy
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 55
Riding on Julia's coattails, Evangeline's striking looks and endless legs made her an overnight sensation.However, fame came with a sour note. She was dubbed a 'vixen' by many who were drawn to her beauty.By the next day, her past was picked apart, and people were even camping out at the County Clerk's Office for a glimpse of the drama.Her marriage to Walter had been a well-kept secret.No one knew she was Walter's lawful wife, but once word got out about her marriage and the impending divorce, everyone wanted a piece of the action.At the crack of dawn, a crowd of rubberneckers had gathered at the Clerk's Office, some eager to lay eyes on Evangeline's legendary beauty.The scene was a frenzy of activity, with journalists buzzing around for the latest scoop and a sea of Julia's die-hard fans, all itching to rip Evangeline apart.The Foster family had seen that coming a mile away. Evangeline's eldest uncle, Yale, had the foresight to hire bodyguards to keep her safe.The Coun

"Can I get your name, sir? Are you aware that the lady next to you is rumored to be a homewrecker? What's your connection to Evangeline? Got any comments as her alleged beau? And just how old is her current boyfriend, if you don't mind me asking?" The reporter fired off questions, each more pointed than the last, clearly a fan who had been swayed by Julia's influence."Listen, you need to watch your words. I could sue you for slander on behalf of my client. And for your information, I'm James, this lady's attorney," said James courteously, though he was already plotting to teach this reporter a thing or two about 'experience' at a later time.The crowd buzzed at the mention of James' name."Holy smokes! James! The top lawyer from Halcyonia, the miracle worker, Mr. James Foster himself!""Doesn't he usually take on those massive international cases worth billions?"Young as he was, he had knocked out a string of tough cases, making a big name for himself in the legal world.

In the past, Julia would not have batted an eye at whatever grand gesture Ethan made for her.However, things had changed. After pouring her heart out for Walter, only to have it wasted, how could she not feel a pang of guilt and a rush of gratitude when Ethan still stood by her side, ready to give his all?Ethan gently stroked her hair, his eyes soft with affection. "Julia, you shouldn't have to worry about this...""But I can't help it!" Julia's voice broke through her restraint, loud and clear. "Why should Walter get away with hurting me, and then turn around and manipulate you?"Ethan's eyes flickered shut for a moment, clearly done with the conversation. "Let's go home."Hand in hand, they made their way onto the plane at Meadowvale's private airstrip. Walter, bound by his deal with Ethan, had no choice but to bid them farewell.He watched the sleek private jet take off, his gaze deep and calculating, a sly smile playing on his lips. That was his first chess move against t

Julia gazed at the man's face, her mind wandering.Was it true? This man, who everyone looked up to, dropped everything—his work, his family duties—to be there, all because he did not want her to be alone?What kind of feeling was that?Whatever it was, just seeing what he had done was enough to stir any girl's heart.Even Julia, who had Walter in her thoughts, could not hide her emotions.Tears filled her eyes, and without a care for the watchful eyes of the bodyguard, she lunged into the man's embrace."Thank you. Thank you for still choosing to love me, Your Highness."She hardly ever used such formal titles for the guy, standing in front of her.Titles like 'duke' or 'viscount' from overseas just were not her thing. She even thought that using them created an invisible gap between people.However, right then, she felt compelled to use his title, as a reminder to herself of just how incredible he was.In Julia's eyes, Ethan Jefferson was infinitely better than Walter—by a

The diamond mines in Southern Crownlands were a gold mine, literally. Any official could name their price and be set for life. There was no way they would turn down a fortune that was practically in their hands.Unless... It was all because of the guy standing in front of Walter.As Walter locked eyes with him, the man casually threw up his hands. "No need to be suspicious. I gave him a ring before I came to see you. For a deal this big, he wouldn't dare call the shots without backup."Walter's stoic expression betrayed none of his thoughts, while the man in front of him seemed like he could not wait a second longer."Do you still have reservations? If you do, why don't you mull it over here while I go see Julia?" The man spoke as he casually opened his arms, allowing Walter's crew to give him a quick pat-down."Don't worry, I'm here to rescue, not to wreak havoc. Why would I bring anything dangerous?"Walter caught his bodyguard's eye with a meaningful glance.Getting the hint,

Just then…"No, you really do need to."The guy was dead serious, a determined glint in his ocean-blue eyes.Walter was lost for words, about to retort, when the guy went on, "I didn't come to fetch Julia without bringing something big to the table."He gave Walter a knowing look and a smug smile, like he was sure Walter would not turn him down."I'm offering the diamond mines of Southern Crownlands in exchange for Julia. Sounds like a sweet deal for you, Mr. Walter Gordon, right?"Walter's brow creased as he weighed the likelihood of that guy having any say over the diamond mines.Those mines were a big deal for the Bennison family, yet this guy was talking like it was a walk in the park, not something to be taken lightly."Do you even realize what you're suggesting?"Walter needed to make sure, but he kept the conversation going smoothly. "The diamond mines in Southern Crownlands are a big deal for the Bennison family, aren't they? Are you sure you're the one who can make th

"I don't want to see anyone, I'm not in the mood!" Walter snapped back without hesitation.Julia had pushed him to his limits, and he had no desire to talk to anyone else.The bodyguard persisted, "But sir, he claims he's here to take Ms. Julia Rearden with him. He insists he won't leave without seeing her."A rescuer for Julia?After her parents were gunned down, the only one left to shield her was probably the mysterious powerhouse backing her.The Bennison family!A spark of interest flickered in Walter's eyes. He composed himself and then commanded, "Show him in."With Julia under his control, there was no rush to leave. If that stranger had the guts to show up, he must believe he could take Julia from Walter's grasp.Well, Walter was eager to see just how much that person was willing to sacrifice to save her.The room was in disarray thanks to Julia's earlier struggle, but luckily, the living room was still spotless.Walter settled onto the sofa, waiting for his distingu

Was she not just using Evangeline's name?All she wanted was his love. How could that be wrong?However, the guy standing in front of her had no problem playing a game of life or death with her!Julia could not help it, she burst into wild laughter on the ground. Pushing herself up on shaky arms, she managed to sit up while Walter watched, his body shaking with anger."Julia, come clean now, and I swear you'll make it out of this alive," Walter threatened, his voice a low growl.He was not sure he could keep his composure if Julia kept up her stubborn act. Would he be able to let her off the hook again if that happened another time?However, Julia was not scared.Staring down Walter, who looked like he could breathe fire, she knew that being caught by him was a fate worse than death. So why play into his hands?"Tell me, Walter. Why don't you love me?" she challenged him.Julia knew she had put in as much effort as Evangeline ever did, so why had she not ever captured Walter's

When Walter made it clear he intended to make Julia his bride, Trey, defying everyone's expectations, managed to get Evangeline hitched to the Gordons.Just like that, Julia's dreams of marrying into high society crumbled to dust…Snapping back from her reverie, Julia locked eyes with Walter, his gaze dark with barely concealed anger."Julia, even now, you won't come clean, will you? Let it go."Walter sighed. He knew Julia was all too familiar with weaving tales of fiction, and offering her a chance to save face might not even appeal to her. Why go to the trouble?"You went into such detail about my rescue back then. You must know who my savior was, right? I'm not interested in digging up the past. I just want to know, who was it that saved me?"For years, Walter had been thanking the wrong person, and in doing so, he had hurt the one girl he truly cared about.What a total backfire!Regret swallowed Walter whole, but he knew he could not go easy on Julia. She was a handful, w

"Please, Ms. Rearden, don't be mad. We're in a tight spot here. See those bodyguards over there? They're with the Foster family. We're small fish in Avalon City, and the Fosters? They're sharks. Mr. Rearden made us swear to keep our heads down and steer clear of trouble."At the time, the Fosters' crew had just pulled Walter and Evangeline to safety.Both were out cold, but the Fosters only whisked Evangeline away, leaving Walter by himself, sprawled on the shore.Julia, curious about the lack of commotion, strolled over with her bodyguard to inspect the still-unconscious Walter. "Any of you know who this guy is?"She could not help but notice how handsome he was at first glance. Marrying him would be a dream come true.However, dreams were all they could be. The Reardens were nobodies in Avalon City, and their bodyguards would not know a VIP if they tripped over one. They had no clue who Walter really was.Julia sighed, a mix of disappointment and longing, as the bodyguard shook
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 678
How could he, Walter, have been so blind? To have mistaken his own lifesaver!Julia was losing her patience. "What do you really want to ask? When are you going to let me go?"A chilling laugh suddenly filled the air, making Julia's skin crawl.She remembered that laugh. It was the same one Walter had when he planned to send her off to Northern Montavia.Just as expected, a second later…"Julia, if you don't even recognize this keychain, how can you say you're my savior?"Walter's voice rumbled deep and rough, each word slicing through the air like it was forged in the depths of the underworld.Julia's mind snapped into focus, her eyes darting away in a guilty flinch. She could not bring herself to meet Walter's gaze."Walt, I was just... I was so ticked off when you yanked me up earlier that I didn't really look at it, okay? But staring at this keychain, it sort of rings a bell. Looks like the one I snagged from you way back."Her wavering voice was all the confirmation Walte
