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

Evangeline fought the urge to clutch at the hollow space over her heart."Forget it, I'm never going to let you have Minnie."Yale had let her know that Minnie was indeed Julia, one of the culprits who plotted with the Andrews to take down her mother."How could someone like her just give herself up so easily?"Besides, it was not up to her to decide where Minnie went.The enemy of Julia's family was not just Evangeline—it was the whole Foster family."Why? Evangeline, don't you realize how much she means to me?" Walter blurted out in a rush, grabbing Evangeline's hand.In his mind, he was screaming at her, 'Don't you see? This woman's fate is linked to the survival of both the Foster and Gordon families!'"Yeah, I get it." Evangeline pulled her hand away, her voice calm and steady. "Minnie means a lot to me, too."She almost brought up Minnie's real identity to Walter, but she swallowed her words at the last second.After all, the moment Walter stood up for Minnie without a

What?Walter's voice echoed in Evangeline's mind, but she could not wrap her head around it.Was he genuinely relieved she survived that massive car accident? If he was, it was probably more about the baby she was carrying, right?Evangeline was caught up in her thoughts when suddenly, she felt a weight lift off her.She was no longer trapped—she was free.A big, strong hand helped her open the car door as a voice came to her, reminding, "Be careful, Evangeline."Walter spoke like they were just strangers exchanging polite words.However, Evangeline did not care anymore."Got it, thanks," she replied politely, stepped out, and walked away.Actually, she had stopped caring a while ago.She had almost given up her life to save Walter once. However, Walter had given her a new life in return, so they were even.After parting ways with Walter, Evangeline did not head back to the villa. Instead, she went straight to the Foster family's security office.Three of her uncles showed

"Evie, Yale and I have been talking for a while, and we decided it's up to you whether to learn the truth. If you'd rather not know, leave it to us. We'll make those two scoundrels pay."Holden's face was overtaken with hatred and rage, finally turning into a look of determination. Yale stayed quiet, simply nodding to show he agreed.Both men looked at Evangeline with concern.Yale, however, still seemed uneasy. "Evie, you're not on your own anymore. You have to think about others too."Evangeline got the hint. Yale was reminding her she was about to become a mother, so she could not act on impulse.She also figured out what the other happy news Yale referred to was. Finally uncovering the truth about her mom's death was definitely big news.Her vision started to blur, but memories in her mind became sharper.Evangeline was so young when her mother was sick, and she could only recall her pale face and brave smile.After all the time that had passed, there was no way to investig

The truth was always brutal.Evangeline thought she was ready to face the past, but she underestimated the weight of it all. She underestimated the cruelty of her father and stepmother.In Avalon City's Supreme Court, the ugly details of Yessica's death started to come out as Andrew and Lydia turned on each other.Yessica, the Foster family's darling, cut all ties with her folks to be with Andrew, the man without a dime to his name.They came to Avalon City, strangers in a strange land, relying only on each other.Yessica, who was raised in luxury, found herself cooking and even working to support the household, all for him. However, even with her sharp business mind that had the company thriving, she stepped aside to boost Andrew's ego, all for love.She never thought she had trusted the wrong person—a hopeless romantic who would waste her life.Andrew, after marrying, got lost in the high life.Then Lydia showed up, fresh out of college, just as Andrew was on top of the world

Andrew and Lydia were escorted out by the police, and as they passed Evangeline, Andrew shot her a look filled with tears of rage."Evangeline, you ungrateful daughter! You betrayed your father! You'll meet a worse fate than your mother did!"Andrew's shouts echoed throughout the courtroom. Evangeline remained calm, motioning for the officers to pause before taking him away, and replied coolly, "Whether I meet a bad end is anyone's guess, but you're the one facing a grim fate."Execution by firing squad—it was a brutal way to go."Goodbye..."'Dad.'Evangeline whispered the word "Dad" in her heart. Andrew was her father, and the blood tie made the death sentence hit hard.She was glad her mother's unjust death was finally avenged. However, she was also torn because her father would pay for it with his life. He was her mother's husband, after all.She could not bear to think beyond that.Touching her belly, Evangeline wondered…Would her baby resent her? For sending her grandf

Evangeline's smile was a stark contrast to Julia's dark expression.Since hooking up with Walter, they had not even made love. Worse still, here Evangeline was with a baby!Evangeline's words felt like a slap in the face, a subtle way to mock her."Sure. Walt will be thrilled!"Julia's ability to switch expressions was lightning-fast. Just a blink, and her frown turned into a grin.However, Evangeline was not interested in seeing that smile and waved her hand dismissively."I've got stuff to do, so I'll be off."She nodded slightly and was about to leave when Julia picked up the conversation again."Mm-hmm, Evangeline, I know you're busy. Oh, how forgetful of me! I left Walt waiting. I better go find him, or he might get upset," she said, making it sound like it was a big deal, and gestured toward the distance.Evangeline followed her gaze and saw a sleek black Rolls Royce parked by the curb. There stood Walter, tall and patient, waiting by the car.Julia, worried that Evange

"Walt, I know you still care about me. It's just that Evangeline clung to you so much that she messed with your head. That's why you treated me like that. But now that you two are getting divorced, can't we... be together?" Julia got a bit carried away and reached for Walter's arm, but he smoothly dodged it.He turned back to her, his dark eyes locking onto hers, and asked seriously, "Julia, you know that's not what I want to hear."Walter was not interested in dancing around the issue, so he cut to the chase. "Tell me. I sent you to Northern Montavia myself, and now you've come back as Minnie with a different face. What's the story?"Walter had a hunch. The Bennison family was making bold moves, and Julia, with her new identity, showed up at just the right time. It seemed like the Bennison family, who had eyes on the Gordon and Foster families, was backing her!However, since the Benisson family had not made any obvious missteps, he needed to focus on Julia as his way in.Walter

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
