Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 572
30 minutes later, David, finally in fresh clothes, held a steaming bowl of soup the housekeeper had prepared and made his way to Celina's room alone.He was about to knock, but the door was slightly open. Knocking lightly out of courtesy, he stepped inside.Celina was a shadow of herself, propped up by pillows at the head of the bed."You came."Her eyes were empty, her gaze lowered, hiding her thoughts.David's heart twisted at the sight of the brace around her neck and the healing wounds on her body. A lump of pain lodged in his throat. He tried to speak but no words came out.The moment he got his phone back and powered it on, he was greeted by a barrage of missed calls. Each one felt like a weight dragging him down.He owed Celina an apology."Say what you need to—I need to rest." Celina's voice was detached as she adjusted the blanket.The moment she got that endless busy tone when she needed him most, she promised herself that her life would no longer include David."I'

"Ms. Evangeline!""I'm here!"Evangeline had been stealthily eavesdropping by the door, worried that Celina's reunion with David might stir up too much emotion and lead to trouble. However, she had not expected Celina to be the one to cry out.Without a second thought, Evangeline burst into the room and saw David collapsed on the floor."Celina, what happened here?"Had Celina knocked David out in a sudden outburst? She had not heard any signs of a fight. If she had, she would have been in the room in a heartbeat."Please, check on David. He just said something and then passed out!"Celina's concern for David overrode their complicated feelings. She watched him anxiously, unable to move, confined to her bed.Evangeline snapped to attention.Maybe David had gotten too cold outside and caught a chill?She quickly bent down and touched his forehead. The heat that met her hand made her recoil."He's burning up!""What do we do now?"Celina was frantic, clueless about how to ha

As the motorcade vanished from sight, so did Evangeline, who was inside one of the cars.The bodyguards arrived in a rush, exchanging bewildered glances at the scene.David's health was on the line, no time for delays, but the disappearance of the Fosters' darling princess was a dire matter!Back at the Foster Group headquarters…Yale had wrapped up a meeting and was deep in strategy talk with Hank when his phone rang with alarming news from the bodyguards."Evangeline's gone missing?" he blurted.Hank went white as a sheet. "Mr. Yale Foster, what are you saying? Is Evie in trouble?" Hank had been meaning to catch up with Evangeline, but with the business buzzing and her pregnancy, their paths had barely crossed.Hearing the news about her out of the blue... She had gone missing?"Got it, I'm on it!" Yale managed to keep his composure on the outside, but inside, he was fuming, his hand clutching the phone shaking ever so slightly.True to form, as soon as he ended the call,

"Holden, Dad might be a bit out of it these days, but he can still have moments of clarity. You've got to make sure this stays under wraps, make everyone at the Foster estate zip their lips!""I got it, don't worry."Holden felt a wave of unease. Armed with the news, he hurried back to the Foster family estate, only to find Celina and Cole casually chatting on the living room couch."Mr. Foster, my fiance David caught a chill and got sick, but I can't leave the house, so I had to ask Ms. Evangeline to take him to the hospital for me. You're not mad, are you?"Celina had rehearsed that with Evangeline, but even so, she hesitated for just a second when she mentioned David's name. Her voice, usually so strong and confident, softened without her even realizing it when she spoke to Cole.The old man, with his grandfatherly kindness, made her think of her grandfather.Her parents never wanted a daughter, so they left her with her grandparents right after she was born. Then, as if on cu

"Yeah, Evie should be okay. However, David, the poor kid, is sick, and we've got no news on him. You need to take care of yourself right now, and don't stress. Evie's got things under control, and she'll call as soon as there's any word from David."Cole wrapped an arm around Celina, offering her a comforting squeeze that sent warmth flooding through her. In the midst of that, Celina's mind flickered to the mission Evangeline had left with her grandfather."Mr. Foster, have you found your favorite celebrity yet? Since we can't do much else, let's try to track down the star you're into. That way, when Ms. Evangeline gets back, she can show you what to do next."Pushing down the flutter of anxiety in her chest, Celina flashed Cole a brave smile."Yeah, could you give me a hand? Let's start by tapping this icon, and then..."Together, the two huddled on the couch, fingers dancing over the smartphone's screen, which was displaying WebSphere.Holden watched the tender scene unfold bef

Walter was in the middle of a meeting, but he did not care that the top management was still around. He bellowed in disbelief, "What did you just say?! How on earth could Evangeline just disappear?"He wrapped up the meeting in a hurry and sent out his entire company's workforce, vowing to find Evangeline no matter the cost.The news made him instantly think of Julia.Julia had always been irked by Evangeline, treating her like a constant pain. With her parents gone and no family to speak of, Julia was like a wild card, unpredictable and unafraid.However, what worried Walter more was whether Julia was acting out of pure spite or if the Bennison family was pulling the strings.Everything he knew about Julia and the Bennison family was just guesswork. He had never found any solid proof of a scheme between Julia and the Bennison family.Of course, all those concerns paled in comparison to finding Evangeline. The thought of the baby Evangeline was carrying sent a shiver of urgency t
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 578
Julia knew that scene by heart; it was etched into her memory forever.There was no fond remembrance, no sense of reunion, just a surge of hatred that filled her heart.The first time, it was Walter's goons who dragged her there. She was bound and helpless, tied to an old, rusty bed.Ignored by everyone, those men left her there, alone on that cold bed, drowning in a sea of despair.How ironic.Back then, Julia knew nothing, still naively hoping Walt would come to her rescue.Eventually, Walt did show up… but not to save her. He was the one who sent her tumbling into a new kind of hell.A hell far worse than that rusty bed.Julia's steps were deliberate, slow, as if she was measuring the warehouse with her feet.She stopped only when she reached a narrow iron door.Julia's lips twisted into a wicked grin as she pictured the scene inside. She could not believe Evangeline's turn of fate.She fought back a snicker, put her shoulder into it, and shoved the door open.The room w

Conrad had warned her that Cole's health was hanging by a thread, only kept stable by the Foster family's constant care. He could not handle another blow.She prayed silently, desperately hoping Cole would stay in the dark about her kidnapping.However, Julia, pacing around the cot, was deaf to Evangeline's heart's cries, stopping ominously by her side.Winter had wrapped its chilly fingers around the world, and Evangeline was bundled up in layers of clothes. Yet, Julia's eyes cut through the fabric, fixating on the obvious bump that marred the silhouette. A surge of unprecedented loathing bubbled up within her.Why was it Evangeline who got to have Walter's baby, while she, despite all her efforts, had not even gotten close to him?Julia's manicured fingers paused their primping, drifting over to rest on Evangeline's stomach, stroking it ever so lightly.The thick layers muffled the sensation, but Evangeline could feel each of Julia's touches, sending shivers down her spine, her
