Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 52
Walter was angered at the sight of Evangeline causing chaos in the dead of night.He was sure the figure he had spotted was not Evangeline, even though they wore identical helmets. After Walter and Caden came up empty in their racetrack search, he dialed her number."Where am I, you ask?" Evangeline's voice stretched out teasingly, "At home, but I'm about to head to the hospital to check on your sweetheart. You know, I've heard that mistresses get a rough deal these days. Should I give her a taste of her own medicine?"Walter's expression turned stormy. "Evangeline! What are you trying to stir up now?""She insisted on this meeting, so let's make it at the hospital," she said, cutting off Walter without a second thought and abruptly ending the call with a decisive click.…Julia lay on the hospital bed, the very picture of vulnerability. Half-sitting, her face was a canvas of pallor as she tearfully shared the day's harrowing events with her online audience.Aiming for stardom,

Julia saw him when she turned—Walter, looking like he had just trekked through a dust storm, standing at the hospital room's entrance.Evangeline nearly whistled in admiration. He had arrived quicker than she had expected.At that moment, Julia was a picture of distress with tears streaming down her face. Andrew was slumped in a chair, clutching his chest as if wounded."You made it," said Evangeline, her voice dripping with mock surprise.True to form, Walter had come running the moment Julia needed him. Evangeline realized she had been the fool for far too long—it was time to bow out."Walt, she's lost it. I'm terrified." Julia clung to Walter by the bedside, her eyes brimming with tears, the picture of a damsel in distress."Don't worry, I'm here now," Walter reassured her, gently patting her back.His gaze fell on the livestream, and his face turned to stone.Julia quickly killed the feed.Evangeline did not wait for Walter to respond.The show was over, and she had said

"Miss, you know how it is—gossip spreads faster than wildfire. How about I call in the PR team to sort this mess out? Give it a few days, and those keyboard warriors will have moved on to their next target," offered Wade."Hold on. Let things play out just a bit more," said Evangeline calmly, unfazed. If Julia was so keen on grabbing the spotlight, Evangeline was more than happy to help her shine—right before taking her down a notch.Wade watched Evangeline, who seemed to enjoy the drama unfold, and felt exasperated. She had the full weight of her family's power behind her, yet she stubbornly refused to use it, letting some nobody strut around like she owned the place.Wade was about to try his luck at persuading her again when her phone buzzed with a call from her eldest uncle, Yale Foster."Hey, Uncle Yale, you've just finished a Peacekeeping mission. Didn't you head off to Bali for a vacation? What's up with calling me?" Evangeline's voice was playful.Her uncle was a tough guy

Riding on Julia's coattails, Evangeline's striking looks and endless legs made her an overnight sensation.However, fame came with a sour note. She was dubbed a 'vixen' by many who were drawn to her beauty.By the next day, her past was picked apart, and people were even camping out at the County Clerk's Office for a glimpse of the drama.Her marriage to Walter had been a well-kept secret.No one knew she was Walter's lawful wife, but once word got out about her marriage and the impending divorce, everyone wanted a piece of the action.At the crack of dawn, a crowd of rubberneckers had gathered at the Clerk's Office, some eager to lay eyes on Evangeline's legendary beauty.The scene was a frenzy of activity, with journalists buzzing around for the latest scoop and a sea of Julia's die-hard fans, all itching to rip Evangeline apart.The Foster family had seen that coming a mile away. Evangeline's eldest uncle, Yale, had the foresight to hire bodyguards to keep her safe.The Coun

"Can I get your name, sir? Are you aware that the lady next to you is rumored to be a homewrecker? What's your connection to Evangeline? Got any comments as her alleged beau? And just how old is her current boyfriend, if you don't mind me asking?" The reporter fired off questions, each more pointed than the last, clearly a fan who had been swayed by Julia's influence."Listen, you need to watch your words. I could sue you for slander on behalf of my client. And for your information, I'm James, this lady's attorney," said James courteously, though he was already plotting to teach this reporter a thing or two about 'experience' at a later time.The crowd buzzed at the mention of James' name."Holy smokes! James! The top lawyer from Halcyonia, the miracle worker, Mr. James Foster himself!""Doesn't he usually take on those massive international cases worth billions?"Young as he was, he had knocked out a string of tough cases, making a big name for himself in the legal world.

They called her the homewrecker, did they not? Well, this was the day to set the record straight on who the real homewrecker was, who the real scumbag was, and who the true victim was.Since Walter was not showing up, she would just have to wait for him to come crawling to her.With that, Evangeline did not linger. She stepped into her car and drove away, leaving a trail of astonished whispers in her wake.Those who had swiftly switched their fandom to the latest femme fatale smiled slyly, dismissing the once-adored girl, Julia, as dull and forgettable after her fleeting moment in the spotlight.As Evangeline's car pulled away, the throng of reporters and rubberneckers, hungry for drama, trailed behind, undeterred.Rumor had it, based on the day's explosive live broadcast, that a showdown was on the horizon.Whispers of a rebellious daughter clashing with her father and banishing her stepmother's family had everyone buzzing with anticipation, the identity of the informant long fo

The scandal had escalated beyond control. With Walter unreachable, Julia dropped her sick act. No point in faking illness when her home was on the line.She hailed a cab and rushed back, only to find her house surrounded by a thick crowd. Thanks to the police Andrew had called, she managed to push her way through. That short stretch to her doorstep took an agonizingly long time, and the crowd's wandering hands did not let her pass without incident.She stumbled into the yard, a mess from the confrontation. There was Evangeline, the picture of composed indifference, swinging with her shades on, while James stood close by. Bodyguards hovered, shielding her from the sun with their umbrellas.She looked every bit the untouchable mob heiress.Andrew and Lydia, bolstered by the sight of their darling daughter and the cops on the scene, hurried down to face off with Evangeline."Officer, can you believe this? Our own daughter storms into our home, threatens to kick us out, and tosses our

"Enough, you vile woman!" Julia's voice cracked the air as she glared at Evangeline's smug face. "Do you really think Walter won't come after you for kicking me out?"Evangeline just stared, bewildered. "I used to think you had some sense, but clearly, I was wrong. You're a fool. I'm divorcing him, so his actions are none of my business!"Evangeline called out with a dismissive wave, "Mr. White, please escort these people out. I've no time to waste on them."With the police's help, the bodyguards packed the things and tossed them out the door. Humiliated, Andrew and Julia scrambled into a cab and disappeared.Evangeline surveyed the empty yard, everything as before, except her mother was gone for good.James gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder. He had lost his dearest sister, and he was determined to shield his niece from any sorrow, to spare himself from his sister's silent judgment.…Lydia was still babbling when Julia snapped, pressing her hands to her ears, "Shut it!

Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 892
Evangeline felt a stir in her heart as Alex's persuasive voice washed over her. She knew he was twisting the truth, but she could not quite pin down a comeback to shut him down.Hurting someone in the name of love could not possibly be true love, could it?She saw right through Alex's charming tricks—classic manipulator moves. If she let herself get sucked into his logic, she would be brainwashed in no time, turned into his personal puppet. 'Alex, you're seriously scary,' she thought to herself.If she fought back too hard, he would only come at her with worse, and she was not exactly in a position to fight back. She was about as intimidating as a kitten.No, she had to be clever about that."I believe you," she said, her voice light and airy as if she did not have a care in the world. Even tied up as she was, her smile and bright eyes made her look utterly adorable."You know, Alex, you're making a lot of sense. I mean, what have I gotten from chasing after Walter all this tim
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 891
Foster Group had revamped its game, and it was a whole new ballgame. However, just because they had ditched their old ways, did that mean nobody was left to pick up the slack?Alex was clued in on all of that, yet fear was not in his vocabulary."You really think I'm scared to mess with you because of that?" Alex's voice dripped with icy mockery. "Evangeline, the only reason I haven't pushed you is because I love you too much to make you do anything... intimate."However, if my caring turns into your scorn, then sorry, I can't just stand by and do nothing.""Too much love to force me?" Evangeline laughed like she had heard the funniest joke ever. "Does your face turn red when you say that? Does lying make you squirm?"You say you can't force me, but did I come to this creepy place because I wanted to? Did I ask you to tie me up like this?"Alex's face hardened, and his words were laced with pure fury."Evie, if you keep bad-mouthing me, keep getting me wrong, I'm going to lose

"Spill it, why did you bring me here, and why am I all tied up?"Evangeline had already taken in every detail of the room, feeling a wave of strangeness wash over her.She knew for a fact she had never set foot in that place before.Then again, this was Alex's secret lair. How could she have ever been there?Alex did not answer right away. Instead, he caressed her cheek with one hand, boasting arrogantly, "When I bring my girl to my place, there's no need for a reason."Evangeline tried to shrink away from his touch, but the ropes made it impossible to move.She resigned herself and thrust her bound hands toward Alex. "Alex, is this your idea of treating a woman right?"Drugging me, tying me up while I'm knocked out? Don't you think these tactics are a little low, even for you?"Before this, Evangeline had never thought Alex could be so vile.However, there he was, his hand casually resting on the ropes that tied her up, while his other hand reached out to grab hers. He looked

The room was so soundproof that Evangeline did not catch a word of the conversation. If she had, she would have laughed and said that the biggest danger she faced was Alex himself.Too bad Evangeline was out of earshot, and Yale was clueless that Alex was just faking concern. Considering how close Alex seemed to be with Evangeline and how worried he acted, Yale pushed aside his suspicions.Alex played the caring friend perfectly, offering Yale a few comforting words. However, Yale was too focused on the search for Evangeline to chat, so he hung up quickly.As soon as the call ended, the worried look on Alex's face melted away, replaced by a smug grin.'Yale, I wonder how you'll look next time we meet, when I'm introduced as Evangeline's boyfriend? Will you be relieved, or will you be steaming mad? Either way, I bet it'll be a picture worth seeing.'Of course, Yale's reaction did not matter. Alex had one thing on his mind today: to win Evangeline over.In a perfect world, he would

Walter did not buy the story for a second, his eyes locked on Thomas."That toy you're holding is the Shadow Wing, isn't it? A casual one million five hundred thousand dollar purchase—come on, you're no average person."Even though Thomas was riddled with doubts, he knew that was not the time to get caught up in them."Thomas, once we wrap this up and Evangeline's back safe, let's really get to know each other, okay?"Thomas just gave a nonchalant shrug. "Sure thing, I'm ready whenever you are."Just then, Thomas's eyes sparkled as he zeroed in on the screen."Got her! She's right here!"Walter glanced over at Thomas, and there was Evangeline's face on the screen, pale with fury.In a room on the third floor of the mansion, at the turn of the corridor, Evangeline was lying on the bed, a flimsy blanket her only cover. Tightly bound beneath the thin fabric were her wrists and ankles.As the memories from before she blacked out rushed back, Alex's triumphant smirk haunted Evangel

The gas pedal hit the floor, and the car surged forward faster than ever.Walter's mind was racing, fixated on the upcoming rescue.However, the place they pulled up to was all too familiar.It was the very villa where Walter's secret rendezvous had once been exposed.Stepping out of the car, Thomas could not suppress a chuckle at the sight of the private estate."It's kind of funny, you know? I thought bumping into an old friend while out and about was surprising enough, but to end up in the very same place, too?"Walter was not shocked, however.He had suspicions about Alex and had done his homework. This villa? It was Alex's hideout.What he did not expect was Alex could be so bold as to drag Evangeline there.Walter had been to that villa once. It was huge, with rooms galore, and pinning down which one Evangeline might be in was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If they were going to find her, they would have to check each room, which was a real pain.Walter caught

"How do I save Evangeline? And who the heck are you?"That enigmatic tipster, who kept dropping hints about Evangeline's peril, was no ordinary person.However, instead of an answer, all Walter got was the infuriating buzz of a busy signal.[Meet at the Dell family's alley crossroads in ten minutes.]Walter stared at the text, his curiosity about this cryptic informant spiking. It was like they knew exactly where he was, setting up the rendezvous right around the corner from the hospital.[Why should I trust you? And who are you, really?]Uncertainty swirled around Walter like a thick fog, but he was not about to let go of that mysterious lifeline that might just pull Evangeline back to safety.He shot back a quick reply and turned to David. "How many can we muster from the Gordons' forces?"Walter never imagined his grandfather would kick him out of Gordon Group. He had always focused on keeping the business running smoothly, never bothering to build up his own crew.However,
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 885
The thought struck David like lightning."All the Bennison family's clout is in Alex's grip. Could Alex be plotting against Ms. Evangeline? But wait, doesn't Alex have a thing for her? They could meet up in the open, no problem. So why would the Fosters kick up such a storm?"Nonetheless, who else in all of Avalon City would dare to mess with the Fosters' darling Evangeline in the open?As Walter was racking his brains, David suddenly gasped, a eureka moment lighting up his face."I got it! Alex has booted you from the company and got the thumbs up from Mr. Gordon. Gordon Group's practically his. He's on top of the world. If he now goes after Ms. Evangeline..."David clamped his mouth shut mid-sentence, realizing the rest was too risky to voice in front of Walter.However, he trusted Walter's smarts. Even without spelling it out, Walter would get the picture.He did. The moment Walter caught on to the unspoken words, panic washed over him, and he started sweating bullets.Alex
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 884
Yale's search revealed that the bodyguards assigned to Evangeline had been secretly taken out.The enemy's bad intentions were obvious.However, they were clueless and had no idea who the bad guy was.Evangeline had vanished without leaving a single clue, leaving Yale with nowhere to start."What do we do now?" Roslyn was pacing back and forth, frantic.Celina, biting down on her teeth with regret, said, "If only I'd stayed with Ms. Evangeline when she went out, or stopped her from leaving!"However, wishing for do-overs was like hoping for a magic cure for regret. It simply did not exist. No matter how much they were hurting, they could not rewrite the ending.The real problem was, they were clueless about who they were up against. The people the Foster family had sent out were just running in circles at the last place Evangeline had been spotted, like they were chasing their own tails.Then, Roslyn had a lightbulb moment."Evie got a call before she left. Can we dig into her
