Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 562
Evangeline tried to sound nonchalant.Truth was, Walter's comment had scared her more than she would admit.The baby she was carrying was only there because her grandfather wanted it. The thought of having another was too overwhelming to even consider."Hahaha, that's my boy! Walter, you're the best grandson-in-law a guy could ask for!"Cole was at that age where grandkids were his favorite thing, so he was all compliments for Walter.However, that did not mean his worries were gone."Evie, you moved back home, and Walter hasn't even dropped by or called. Is he upset?"If Evangeline's determination to stick by Cole had caused a fight with Walter, Cole would feel guilty. He would have to convince her to move back as soon as possible!Right on cue, Julieta walked in with Evangeline's phone blaring."Ms. Evangeline..." Julieta glanced at the name on the screen, hesitated for a second, then said with a warm smile, "You've got a call from Mr. Walter Gordon."Regardless of how Evan
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 563
Too bad, just as Evangeline had managed to pull it off, Cole got all awkward from their lovey-dovey talk and excused himself.Evangeline watched Cole walk away and breathed a sigh of relief. When she picked up the phone again, her voice was icy, like she had flipped a switch."Out with it, Walter. Why'd you call?"She was not in the mood for small talk with Walter. She owed him thanks for the call that cleared up any doubts Cole had, but getting the lowdown was way more pressing than a 'thank you'.Walter's mouth twitched. Since when could Evangeline switch gears so fast? She was sweet one moment, and the next, a thunderstorm. He did not even get a heads-up.However, he had to focus on why he would call in the first place."Remember the woman we saved downtown?"Celina? Evangeline's gaze faltered for a moment. "Yeah, I remember. The Fosters are still keeping her safe. What's up?"Not that she was itching to go into detail, but she figured Walter was already clued in on the Fost
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 564
Why would the Fosters let Evangeline walk into danger?Yale only agreed to send a car for Evangeline after making sure Celina bore her no ill will. Celina was in bad shape, with a severe concussion and her neck out of whack from a car crash. She was bedridden, strapped into a brace.This was not like a prenatal visit. Evangeline would be in the public eye, around the clock. Yale was not worried.To keep Celina from flipping the script, Yale had the nurses tie her to the bed. When Evangeline walked into the room, Celina was trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey.Celina knew Yale always played it safe when it came to her well-being, but she never imagined he would go to such lengths. With her head pounding from a severe concussion, just the thought of getting out of bed felt like a brave act.There she was, Celina, slight and fragile. In her state, even if she had wanted to hurt Evangeline, she simply did not have the strength. What was the point of all those extra precautions?Eva

"Sure, if that makes you feel any better, I'm fine with it."Evangeline's eyes twinkled, not the least bit surprised by Celina's revelation that she had once saved her.Celina's eyes widened in astonishment. "You knew all this time?""Of course."Evangeline raised her head with a mischievous grin. "You know, you almost had me fooled. Too bad the handkerchief you gave me was a little frayed around the edges—obviously a well-loved item. However, we're not exactly at the 'sharing used stuff' stage of our friendship, so I knew something was up. That is, until David saw the handkerchief."Just one look from him was all it took to prove Evangeline right.Of course…"I'm not one to keep score, Celina. Just so we're clear, I helped you because it was the right thing to do. Even if you were a total stranger lying on the side of the road, I'd have done the same.""Then I owe you big time." Celina's face was ghostly, but her smile was like a lily in full bloom—delicate and pure, the kind
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 566
Celina's unique identity was clear as day.Evangeline was already questioning Walter's real reasons for wanting to see Celina.Things were a bit simpler, since she did not even want to see him, saving her from overthinking the whole situation for ages."I guess I'll head back, then. You stay here and heal up, okay?"Evangeline was about to get up and leave. She was in a risky spot those days, with who knew how many shady characters out there gunning for her."Hold on!" Celina's voice rang out, stopping her in her tracks. "Ms. Evangeline, I really don't want to stay in this hospital. Can I come and recover at your place?"The Bennison family's purges were legendary for their ruthlessness. No one in a thousand years had ever escaped their grasp alive. She was incredibly lucky to have narrowly escaped death by the skin of her teeth.With the first purge attempt botched, she knew more would follow. If she wanted to stay alive, she would have to be extra careful. Sticking close to Ev
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 567
Holden was ready to roll the dice.He was betting on Evangeline's sharp eye for judging character, betting that Celina was the kind of person with a conscience, who would not bite the hand that fed her.With that, the severely wounded Celina was smoothly settled into the Foster family's old house.When Evangeline got back, she found the confused Cole at the doorstep. He watched the medical team bustling in and out of Celina's room."Grandpa?" Evangeline sidled up to Cole and tugged at her grandfather's arm.Cole snapped out of it and put on a show of being irritated. "Evie, since when did you start making big decisions like bringing someone home without telling me?"Evangeline knew Cole was not mad. He was just a bit miffed she had not informed him beforehand. With that, she turned on the charm. "I was just worried, you know?"Grandpa, you see how many docs she's got with her? That must've told you how bad she's hurt. I was scared that waiting any longer would mess with her heal
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 568
Evangeline nodded with the innocence of an angel. "I promise, no more surprises!"The days that followed were boring, to say the least.At the Foster family's old house, the two uncles were as elusive as mythical dragons, always busy and barely seen.The other three residents were all in recovery mode: one healing from sickness, one from injury, and one nurturing new life.Their days were reduced to eating and lounging in the sun.Evangeline was climbing the walls with boredom, itching to roam the gardens, but Cole had laid down the law: no long walks, to protect her precious unborn cousin.She did not buy it. How could the baby be that fragile? However, she would not dare cross her snowy-haired grandfather."Celina, don't you ever get bored?"She sat on the couch and spotted Celina, staring out the window, lost in silence.When Celina did not answer, Evangeline gave her arm a playful jab.Celina was still young and resilient. Despite her grave injuries, she had been up and a
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 569
"How do I even find a star that grabs me?"What did Evangeline even mean by 'grabs him'? He was beginning to think that joining in on their youthful shenanigans was a mistake. Could he still bail out?However, Evangeline was not about to let him off the hook. She took out her phone and dove into an impromptu lesson.Her fingers danced across the screen, tapping an icon that looked like a pair of tiny eyes, as she explained, "See, Grandpa, this is WebSphere. It's like the news but all about celebs. Just flick through this every day, and you'll figure out which star you're into!"With her tutorial done, Evangeline did not miss a beat. She grabbed Cole's phone and set him up on WebSphere's hot list.Back in the day, she would not have dreamed of letting Cole anywhere near the news.However, everything had changed. Evangeline and Walter had found a way to live in harmony, and the rumor mill had taken a complete turn. After their public display of affection downtown, Avalon City was a
