Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 492
"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,

"You've got the nerve to call me, Minnie?"Minnie had braced herself for that. She pulled the phone away until the storm passed, then cautiously returned it to her ear. "Hey, why all the fire on such a chilly day? Take a chill pill, or you'll end up hurting yourself," she joked, her tone light, her apology absent.The person on the other end huffed, "Cut to the chase, Minnie. Did you have a hand in that pile-up?""Nope, not me."Minnie blurted out in a rush, "Come on, I knew your sweetheart was in that car. Even if I had the urge to stir up trouble, I'd hold back, wouldn't I? And just so you know, I had absolutely nothing to do with that crash!"She sounded like she was standing on solid ground.Truth be told, she was innocent. The accident was her mom Lydia's handiwork, not hers. Technically, she was not lying.However, as she thought about it, realizing that her friend's sweetheart was out of the picture, she felt a pang of guilt and figured some words of comfort were in order

Winning Walter's heart while posing as Minnie had been no small feat, and then she faced the daunting task of reverting to her old self, to Julia…What would the Gordons, the Fosters, and especially that snake Evangeline think of her? She could not bear to follow that train of thought!The line went quiet, only to be broken by an impatient voice on the other end. "Did you forget? Minnie and Lydia are two strangers with no connection. Don't freak out over every little thing. You've been burned before and still haven't learned your lesson. Not even a miracle could save you now!"Look, I'm swamped and don't have time for small talk. Just think it over, okay?"Minnie ended the call and gazed at the number on her phone screen, her eyes sparkling with resolve.True, her identity was set up to be airtight. Minnie was not Julia, and what did she have to do with Lydia anyway?With that thought, Minnie let out a sigh of relief.All she could do was hope that Lydia would not get snatched b

Unbeknownst to them, Evangeline and Holden were watching the whole exchange from behind a one-way mirror.Once Yale stood up and exited, Evangeline and Holden left the observation room as well.In the conference room, Yale was all business, Holden's brows were knitted in frustration, and Evangeline's face was blank, though she seemed to be wrestling with a tough problem.Lydia seemed to unravel at the sight of her, leading Evangeline to believe that Lydia would crack easily under questioning.However, Lydia was sharper than they expected.She was banking on the fact that Yale, a government official, would not dare break the law or resort to underhanded tactics, and she would not confess a thing."Argh!" Holden could not contain his anger and punched the table with a thud.Yale did not lash out, but he was visibly trembling with rage."Uncle Yale, don't you think Lydia's just being cocky because she thinks we're too cautious?" she asked. "Isn't there another way to get her to te

Thanks to Yessica, Yale knew Lydia's history like the back of his hand."Lydia was raised in an orphanage, and because she was always so competitive, she didn't exactly fit in. She had just left the orphanage and started working when she bumped into your dad, Andrew. Back then, Andrew was on the rise in Avalon City, thanks to your mom's savvy in business, and Lydia set her sights on him..."Yale did not need to spell out the rest; everyone there got the picture."So, Lydia doesn't really have family here. Your dad, Andrew, has been under my thumb for a while, and the only daughter, Julia, she's vanished into thin air...""Wait a minute!" Evangeline cut in, stopping Yale mid-sentence. "Uncle Yale, Julia didn't vanish. And if I'm not wrong, she's already back in town."A flash of Minnie's face crossed Evangeline's mind.The woman bore a striking resemblance to Julia, and her obvious affection for Walter made it hard for Evangeline to shake off her suspicions.Yale and Holden perke

Right then, the corridor buzzed with the bodyguards' hushed chatter."Sam, did you catch the news? The boss brought in some new heavy-hitter. Word is, he's a beast. Nobody lasted more than three minutes with him before spilling their guts.""Seriously? This thing that intense? Guess it's because you've been around, I guess that's what happens when you're always by the boss's side—getting in on all the cool stuff!" The man's voice was tinged with jealousy as he spoke with fiery excitement, but Lydia felt a chill run down her spine.What could be so intense that it would knock someone out in under three minutes?She suddenly remembered the tough character Yale had mentioned to her… It could not possibly be that, could it?An electric chair? That was something straight out of a history book!Her question was swiftly answered."Man, I feel so lame. Our boss is the real visionary here. He actually got someone to bring in an electric chair ahead of time. You know, like the ones in tel

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
