Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 509
"Walter, why are you creeping around and following me?" demanded Evangeline with her arms folded, before Walter could even get a word out."I..." Walter stammered, his face a mask of stiffness, words failing him as he faced Evangeline's frosty demeanor.He was oblivious to the fact that his behavior only reminded her of a different, more painful reason for her coldness."Did you think you hadn't embarrassed me enough earlier? Is that why you're shadowing me, to add insult to injury?"She would never be able to erase the memory of what Walter had done to her.In the backseat of the car, he treated her as if she were nothing more than an object for his amusement.At the restaurant, he had the nerve to call her out in front of everyone, labeling her as someone who flirts too much.So then, she was determined to confront Walter and find out what game he was playing."Evangeline, you've got it all wrong, I never...""Never what?" Evangeline cut him off without a hint of politeness.

Evangeline fretted over the idea of visiting Cole alone. She feared it might make him overthink things, maybe even worry unnecessarily. She was almost convinced it was better to stay away.Walter had to go and mention Cole, giving her a reason she could not just brush off."Are you threatening me?"Was Walter really using her love for her grandpa as leverage, making sure she could not keep her distance?"No." Walter's reply came sharp and clear. "Forget about us for a second. He's my elder, too. Of course, I want him to live a long, healthy life."His answer was so perfect that it made Evangeline feel like she was the one making a big deal out of nothing."If you really mean that, then thanks."She was honestly thankful that Walter could still be decent when it came to her grandfather.When it came to the idea of visiting Cole…Evangeline's gaze fell. "I haven't reassured Grandpa Cole since the car accident. If you're up for it, let's go together."She knew that despite Yale'

Somewhere overseas, in the basement of a swanky villa.The room was bathed in shades of silver and white, with only a tiny window near the ceiling offering a glimpse of the outside world.Tucked against the wall was a modest single bed.In the middle of the room stood a matching set of silver-white furniture, a table, and chairs.On one of those spindly chairs sat a man. He was lean, his skin ghostly pale, his face etched with exhaustion and a rough stubble.Evangeline would have instantly recognized him. That man was her and Julia's father, Andrew. His eyes were empty, his presence like a shell devoid of a soul, as he sat there, going through the motions.Jack, decked out in comfy clothes, his ocean-blue eyes narrowing, stretched out on his chair with a yawn before speaking at his own leisurely pace, "Andrew, how's it been, not seeing you around for a few days?"Andrew's lips parted, dry and cracked. "How do you think it feels to be cooped up here without any idea why, for who

Andrew was no fool. He picked up on Jack's icy tone and quickly switched to sweet-talking."Okay, okay, I won't bring her up again. Still, I've told you everything I could, and look at me now—my family's gone, and I've got my just desserts. Can't you just let me off the hook?"He was practically pleading."If you hit me with those questions one more time, I'm going to go crazy!"The questions were the same, day in, day out. He could not even use the same answers. He was at his wit's end, clueless about what to say next.Jack's eyes flickered, and he gestured dismissively at Andrew. "Andrew, I didn't come here to grill you today. You said it yourself that rehashing those questions is a drag, and I'm over it. So today, I've got a little surprise for you."A spark of hope lit up in Andrew's eyes, a break from the tedium of his life. "What's the surprise?"Jack pulled out his phone, found a recording, and held it out to Andrew with a smirk. "Trust me, you're going to like this."He

Jack's brows were raised, and his deep blue eyes sparkled with mischief, making him look especially striking. "Come on, why'd you go silent?"He watched Andrew with a mischievous glint, his lips curling into a sly smirk."What did I say?" Andrew, realizing he had slipped up, tried to play dumb. "You must've misheard. I didn't say anything!"He knew Jack was not easy to fool and wanted nothing more than to wrap up their chat so he could have some peace and figure out how to wriggle out of that lie."Okay, have you grilled me enough for one day? Can we call it quits? I'm beat..." said Andrew, attempting to rise and head to bed. However, Jack remained seated without the slightest intention of getting up."Odd. You usually beg me to stick around, to grab a bit more so you don't die of boredom, but you're actually shooing me away now…"You know the saying, 'When things get weird, there's usually a monster lurking'? Ever heard that one?"Andrew kept up his clueless act. "What are you

Cole's voice was raspy, carrying the weight of a man who was just starting to bounce back from a serious illness."What else? Work and the usual company stuff."Yale dropped what he was doing and answered with an easy smile. "Dad, are you feeling under the weather or something? How about I swing by in the next couple of days?"Cole was getting on in years and had become pretty clingy, always hoping his kids, especially Evangeline, would come around to the family home for a visit.That call was a wake-up call for Yale. He had been so wrapped up in Evangeline and Yessica's business that he would put the old man on the back burner. That was not appropriate."You scamp, if I didn't ring you up, you'd never think to drop by, would you?"Cole's voice was teasing, but Yale could hear the smile in his words. He was not really mad; he just wanted them to come and hang out with him."Too caught up in work, huh?"Yale chuckled awkwardly.Grown-ups could act like kids. There was his dad,

If Evangeline was not affectionate enough, Cole would definitely get suspicious. However, if she laid it on too thick, how would she handle her own feelings?She had just managed to steady her heart…She absentmindedly rubbed her belly.The baby was too little to interact with her yet. However, she could feel every beat of her baby's heart. The bond of blood was just that powerful.All of a sudden, she realized…Perhaps it would be appropriate to say she was playing a part in a drama.She might not be in love with Walter, but that did not mean their kid should not love his dad. She could not deny her child the right to his father's love…Winter mornings sure liked to take their sweet time showing up.By seven, the sky was barely blushing with the first light. Walter's ride, there to scoop up Evangeline, was already waiting downstairs, far ahead of time.In the biting cold of winter, he just stood there, silently watching the window of Evangeline's room.Julieta was notified o

Julieta was a whiz in the kitchen and always took the time to whip up delicious meals, so even though Evangeline was dealing with morning sickness, she never missed a meal.She managed to keep down more food than she lost, so she was feeling pretty okay.Walter lounged on the living room couch, perfectly positioned to watch Evangeline eat. Seeing her enjoy her meal so much made him feel much better.At least their drama had not messed with her pregnancy; that was something to be thankful for.That being said, Evangeline's breakfast smelled amazing…Evangeline was chowing down when she heard a stomach growling. It was the kind of noise that only a hungry belly could make.She glanced at Julieta, who quickly shook her head—it was not her.So, both their eyes turned to Walter, who was still sitting on the couch.Had Walter skipped breakfast? Evangeline thought she had heard wrong until the growling came again, and Walter's red face confirmed it."Walter, if you haven't eaten, com

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
