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
