Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 497
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

It was over. That even scarier electric chair Yale mentioned was about to be her one-way ticket.The chair sounded like bad news, and her tiny frame would not stand a chance.No. She could not just sit around waiting for the end. She had to get out of there!Lydia pressed herself against the door, desperate for a plan, feeling utterly hollow.The door to her room, which was always locked up tight, was surprisingly left ajar.Lydia crept out of her room, her eyes darting around to catch any sign of movement. However, the hallway was eerily empty.Only after she vanished down the stairwell did a shadowy figure at the end of the corridor peek out.He tapped his Bluetooth earpiece and said with utmost respect, "Boss, Lydia is on the move."Yale's face lit up when he got the update from his guy on the ground. He barked out an order. "Keep on her tail, and keep me in the loop!"10 minutes later, the Foster family's security alarms were screaming. Every bodyguard in the place sprang

Of course, looking back was pointless. The moment she cried out for her mother, her cover was blown wide open.The memory sparked excitement in Lydia as she hurriedly explained, "I made a break for it, and I'm calling you on the driver's phone, Julia. How was I supposed to find you? She doesn't have a dime to her name, and you'll need to send the cab fare to the driver."Minnie's worries melted away with Lydia's words.Considering how much the Foster family resented their mother, Lydia's escape meant she had truly shaken them off. Minnie realized she did not have to worry anymore.The taxi smoothly took a turn toward Newstead Zone.Once they reached the spot Minnie had sent, she greeted Lydia, settled the fare, and even slipped the driver a cool 200-dollar tip.The taxi zipped away, not heading back downtown but pulling over in a quiet corner instead.The driver's gaze was piercing. Stepping out, he dialed a number right away. "Boss, I've spotted the target. Do we grab her now,

Lydia could not help but shiver when she recalled the bodyguards' conversation.She could handle any place, as long as it did not involve that terrifying electric chair.However, Lydia was used to the finer things, and the sudden drop from luxury to that hellhole was tough to swallow.She took her daughter's arm, eyeing her young face that seemed a bit strange then, and asked with a hopeful grin, "Julia, we're not going to stick around here forever, are we? This place is so chilly we have to burn logs to keep warm, and bugs could pop out at any moment. Freaky, right?"Minnie got the hint and patted her mother's hand reassuringly. "Don't sweat it, Mom. This is just for now. Trust me, when it's time to move, I'll be the first one out the door."Living in those mountains, with the hassle of even taking a bath, was not a permanent plan."That's a relief," Lydia sighed, her eyes quickly scanning Minnie's face, her brow creasing with concern. "Julia, every time we've met before, you we

Lydia's thoughts turned to her estranged husband, and her expression darkened."Why waste your thoughts on that loser? He promised me the moon and the stars, but when push came to shove? The moment the Fosters got involved, it all fell apart. He dumped everything on me! Let him do whatever he wants. For all I care, he might as well be dead!"The feud between her parents had all started because of a woman named Yessica, who was Evangeline's mother."Mom, it's just us here. You can tell me the truth. How did Yessica really die?"Lydia turned pale and dodged the question awkwardly. "Why bring her up out of the blue? She was nothing but trouble, and I'd rather not even speak of her!""But I have to know what happened, right?!" Minnie could not stand it anymore. "Yessica was the darling of the Foster family. There's no way they'll just let this slide. If her death has nothing to do with you, then we don't have to worry about the Fosters. However, if it does, I need to be ready!"Lydia

Minnie's gut told her something fishy was going on, and she was right on the money. The moment she caught Lydia's shifty eyes, she knew it.The two of them locked in a stare-down for what felt like forever until Lydia finally caved with a big sigh."Look, none of this mess is my fault," Lydia confessed. "Your dad pulled a fast one on me. Yessica wasn't sick at all. She was alive and kicking the whole time you were in my belly, and even after you were born. I got so fed up that I made your dad choose between us and Yessica and her kid. He didn't say a word, but a month after our big blowout, Yessica kicked the bucket in the hospital."Lydia's story neatly dumped all the blame on Andrew, who was not even there to defend himself, leaving her hands clean.However, the whole thing about Yessica's sudden death just raised a whole bunch of red flags."So you're saying you have no clue how Yessica could just up and die from being sad?"Lydia was all high and mighty with her words.Howev
