Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 596
Evangeline's eyes were wide with disbelief.Cole could not just randomly bring up happiness and Walter without a reason."Grandpa, let's not talk about this, okay? Dr. George said your surgery went really well, and you're not going anywhere!"The fear of losing her grandfather wrapped around her, and she could not bear to hear any more of that from him.Cole offered a weak smile. "Evie, everyone's got to face the big four: being born, getting old, getting sick, and dying. Even if I pull through this time, I can't dodge the final curtain."Don't be scared, okay?"Cole's smile was as warm and gentle as ever, his frail, aged hand reaching out to stroke Evangeline's hair, just like he did when she was a little girl."I won't!" Evangeline's tears had broken free, spilling onto the blanket that lay over Cole. "I want Grandpa to stay with me forever. I can't stand the thought of being apart from you!"Cole could not help but smile, "Oh, my silly Evie, you're still so young. If I staye

She had caused her grandfather's death!Tears slid down silently, leaving trails on Evangeline's face, her sobs then just a whisper.At that very moment, the hospital room door swung open. Walter, his face ashen, appeared at the threshold. Feeling the weight of everyone's stares, he fidgeted uncomfortably, his hand brushing the back of his neck."I heard Mr. Foster was ill, so I... I just came...""What are you even doing here?" Evangeline shot up from her seat and marched straight toward Walter. "Walter, did you have something to do with my grandpa getting sick? Did you really have to come here and play the concerned visitor?"If Walter had not been so hung up on Julia, if she was not worried about how heartbroken Cole would be to see Walter being mean to her, why would she have ever spent so much time away from Cole's side?"Evangeline, what are you doing here?"Walter was in total disbelief.Had not Julia taken Evangeline away? He had scoured every corner of Avalon City and

Walter's phone buzzed to life out of the blue."Sir, I'm feeling a lot better now, ready to get back to the mission in Southern Crownlands."David's voice was stuffy and sounded like he was on the tail end of a cold.He already knew the whole drama about Evangeline getting nabbed by Julia while trying to rush him to the hospital.Taking a beat, he cautiously broached the subject, "How's Mrs. Gordon holding up?"It was not that he doubted Walter's expertise, but Evangeline's trouble was tied to him, and he could not shake off the guilt without checking in."She's fine now." Walter kept his voice even, masking whatever he was feeling."She's fine?" David echoed, relief flooding his words. "That's a relief, a huge relief."Knowing Evangeline was out of hot water made his own heart lighter."I'll head out tonight, catch a flight to Southern Crownlands."He mulled it over briefly before filling Walter in."Sure about that?" Walter was the one caught off guard then. "Weren't you a

Walter was shocked to discover just how incompetent his team was."Sorry, Mr. Walter Gordon. We've done everything we could, but they're too slick. They fed us fake leads, and we bit hard. By the time we figured it out and doubled back, they were gone—like they'd vanished into thin air..."…Elsewhere, Julia lounged in a swanky villa, sweet-talking someone on a video call."Honey, don't be mad, okay? I know you're just worried about me. But look, I'm totally fine. Plus, I'll be home before you know it."Her voice was dripping with sweetness, like she was talking through a mouthful of honey.The bodyguard who had just walked in caught a bit of her sugary tone and quickly looked down, giving her a respectful nod as he updated her, "Ms. Rearden, we've lost the tail."Julia's face, which had been all smiles, turned to ice. "Good job. You can go now."With a dismissive wave, she sent the bodyguard scurrying out. As soon as he was gone, her sweet smile returned.On the screen, the m

The second Walter tied Julia to the bed, everything clicked for her.She never had a place in his heart. His kindness was just payback for the time she saved his life.She had fooled herself into thinking it was more, that his gratitude was affection. She had been lying to herself for years.It was time to snap out of it.Julia hid her face in her hands, fighting back tears, but when she looked up, she caught sight of the bodyguard who had not left. He was a constant annoyance.Her team was disciplined, and they knew better than to interrupt when the boss was on the line. However, that guy? He broke all the rules, brazenly reporting to the boss about Walter, right in front of him!She motioned to him with a flick of her finger.The bodyguard came over, bowing so low he was practically staring at his shoes.From above him, Julia's voice dropped flat and emotionless. "You better have a darn good reason for cutting into my call with the leader."Her tone was distant as she casual

Julieta's face fell, and she spoke with gentle caution, "Ms. Evangeline, we can't bring back those who've passed. Mr. Foster may be gone, but you've got the little one inside you to think about. You've got to stay strong for your baby."It hit Evangeline then, and she tenderly placed her hand on the swell of her belly. "I'll be careful, I promise."Cole had made her promise to look after their child before he died, making her feel like it was all because of him. However, that child was also a part of Walter, a continuation of their family. How could she ever let go?"Mrs. Lewis, when will Grandpa's funeral be?"When Evangeline asked her question, Julieta went pale as a ghost."Ms. Evangeline, you've been out cold for two days and nights. You just woke up, so maybe let's not worry about that right now..."Evangeline could tell Julieta was holding something back. "What are you getting at?"Julieta realized she could not hide it any longer and confessed, "Mr. Foster's funeral is to

Cole had been a titan in Avalon City. Even his funeral was a testament to that, with a never-ending stream of mourners coming to pay their last respects.The crowd was united in their sorrow, and as Evangeline looked on, her eyes grew red with tears.At the entrance of the funeral home, Yale, the eldest son, stood solemnly before his father's portrait. Evangeline's uncles were scattered around, each lost in their own thoughts.Evangeline made her way to the front, gently laying flowers on the casket.Yale's gaze followed her every move, his eyes brimming with concern. "Evie, why are you here? You should be resting after just waking up...""Uncle Yale." Evangeline's voice trembled as she fought back tears. "How could I miss Grandpa's final farewell?"She dabbed at her tear-streaked cheeks, inhaled deeply, and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?""You..." Yale started to speak, then paused, struggling with his words. At last, he said, "Just stand behind me."Together, the

"Mr. Gordon, I know this gemstone bracelet was meant for your granddaughter-in-law. But let's face it: my marriage to Walter was a joke, and it would've ended ages ago if it weren't for Grandpa Cole's illness. Now that he's gone, it doesn't seem right for me to keep this beauty, does it?"She laughed, trying to keep it light, and took Trey's frail hand, pressing the wooden box with the bracelet into his palm. "Don't worry, even if Walter and I weren't meant to be, you'll always be my grandpa."With that, Evangeline spun on her heel and walked away, not looking back.It was not that she was distant. It was just that she was afraid if she hesitated, Trey would see the tears she was fighting back.She had a tender heart.After all, how could she not feel a bond with Trey after all the time they had spent together?What Evangeline did not see was Trey, with the wooden box at hand, standing still with tears welling up in his old eyes. He watched her walk away.He knew that the grandd

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
