Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 511
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
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 514
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,
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 515
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
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 516
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
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 517
Yale was pondering all that, already plotting to get the information from Evangeline later.Meanwhile, Cole, who had been anxiously waiting in the living room, caught a glimpse of Evangeline and Walter looking cozy on the surveillance feed and felt a wave of relief wash over him. His mood lifted, and it showed.So when he finally joined the crowd, Cole seemed in much better spirits than usual.Before anyone knew it, the living room was buzzing with people. The Foster brothers made sure to warmly welcome Walter, their nephew by marriage, acting like the whole divorce drama was just water under the bridge.The warmth of the family gathering was infectious, and even Evangeline, who knew the truth of the matter, could not help but be moved.As they ate, Cole's eyes brimmed with tears, a testament to a lifetime of memories. He reached out, taking Walter and Evangeline's hands and tenderly joining them together."Evie, Walter, knowing you two are so blissfully happy gives me peace of m
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 518
Evangeline wanted nothing to do with Walter.She was even somewhat scared of getting too close. She feared that if Walter was too tender with her, she might forget the pain that had once been forced upon her and fall back into a hopeless crush on him.The car roared to life, and the two in the back sat worlds apart, one to the left and the other to the right.The driver, focused on his job, was so spooked by the tension behind him that he barely dared to take a deep breath.Evangeline was never one to stand an awkward silence. Though she wanted to keep her distance from Walter, her ingrained politeness would not allow the silence to linger.The words of her bodyguard echoed in her mind, and Evangeline's eyebrow raised as she eyed the man before her. "Walter, I've heard... you're on the hunt for Minnie?"Walter's face lost color for a moment, but he quickly masked his shock with a neutral expression.It was no shocker to Evangeline that he was searching for Minnie. After all, the
