Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 56
"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. There h

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!

Wade had learned of Andrew's misdeeds and could not help but feel outraged for E

"Mrs. Cook, is Walter at home?" asked Evangeline as she pulled Alice to the side, out of view of the security cameras.Alice could see the worry in Evangeline's eyes and reassured her, "The young master's not here. There's been some trouble at the company, and he's been so tied up that he hasn't been home in ages. You came to check on Mr. Gordon, didn't you?"Let's go inside, it's fine. Mr. Gordon often mentions you. He was so distressed when he heard about your divorce that he fell ill. Dr. Lawson just left a little while ago." Alice shared the latest news as she led Evangeline into the house.Evangeline reluctantly trailed behind her into the house.In the living room, Aria lounged on the couch, her eyes glued to her smartphone. Her gaze snapped up as they walked in, a mix of surprise and annoyance crossing her features."Alice, after all these years with the Gordons, you know better. What's with dragging in every random person? Are you trying to get fired?"Alice, who was not

She headed to her old room to wind down.After a quick wash, she was so wiped out that she passed out the moment her head hit the pillow.…Walter got in from the airport well after midnight, worn out from his trip and a nasty stomach bug.

She had been dreaming that a mons

Evangeline was left fuming, punching the pillow in frustration. "Great timing, as always. It's like fate loves to throw us together at the worst times."The next morning, Evangeline was up with the dawn, helping Alice whip up a pumpkin pie for Trey. He was not feeling great, but he managed to eat quite a bit, cheered by Evangeline's kindness, and seemed a little brighter for it.Afterward, Evangeline wheeled him out for a stroll in the garden.The last whispers of winter had finally retreated, and the morning sun wrapped the world in a cozy warmth.
