Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 695
Roslyn announced with a dramatic flair, "Show me what you've got, oh illustrious composer. What masterpiece are you hiding?"Roslyn raised an eyebrow at Evangeline, her eyes landing on the empty paper in Evangeline's hands. It was like a lightbulb went off in her head, and she quickly switched from her usual laid-back vibe to something more serious. She flopped down next to Evangeline."Evie, are you stuck on the new song?" she asked, already clued in on the progress report from the agent.Evangeline had nailed the chorus, and it was killer—just missing that one killer detail to make it a chart-topper.Evangeline's heart twinged.It was not really her fault she was stumped. The whole 'love gone wrong' theme just did not jive with where she was at, and she could not find her groove…Without realizing it, Evangeline's quiet lowering of her eyes said more to Roslyn than any words could. Roslyn snatched the notebook from Evie's hands. "Forget writing for now. Let's go out and play, o

Celina, looking discontent, popped up unexpectedly in front of the two friends."Ms. Evangeline, haven't I told you you're supposed to take it easy and stay put during your recovery? Mrs. Lewis has given me an earful several times for helping you sneak out!"Was Evangeline planning to just waltz out in broad daylight? Not happening.Celina's tone was laced with resignation, yet the concern she had for Evangeline flared into anger when she turned her gaze to Roslyn.They had made a pact that the last adventure was indeed the final one, and that they would stay home and heal until Evangeline was fully recovered.Then, like a bolt from the blue, the excited Roslyn wanted to whisk Evangeline away for a day of fun, and to the seaside of all places, where the air was damp and heavy!"I should be okay now, shouldn't I?"Evangeline did the math. It had been well over two weeks since her miscarriage, and she had been taking care of herself, feeling stronger and healthier by the day. It c

Celina rolled her eyes, unimpressed. "Never had roasted pear and butternut squash soup? You're acting like it's a big deal, like you've never been anywhere!"Evangeline gave Celina a sideways glance.She remembered Celina as always being the picture of cool, so it was odd to see her snarky side, especially since it was all because of her.Just as Roslyn was about to let loose some serious zingers, Evangeline cut in, "Come on, didn't you get enough of arguing upstairs? Let's sit down and enjoy the soup together!"With one look from Evangeline, Julieta quickly served up two bowls of roasted pear and butternut squash soup.They sat down, but the tension was still there, with glares and snorts exchanged.Evangeline had never been in such an awkward spot and was not sure how to handle it, so she kept her head lowered and focused on her soup.Lucky for her, Roslyn was a foodie. The soup grabbed her attention, and she started savoring it, spoonful after spoonful.Celina took her time

With a fierce scowl, Celina shot Roslyn a look that could kill, balled her fists, and stormed out of the dining room.Roslyn casually scooped the bug out of Celina's bowl with a spoon. "It's just a fake bug. Is she seriously making such a fuss?"She turned to Evangeline, nonchalantly seeking validation for her prank.Evangeline felt torn, torn between two sides she cared about equally. With a forced chuckle, she tried to explain, "You haven't been around Celina long enough to know... she's really scared of bugs."She had only found out about Celina's fear by chance. The Foster family's old mansion was always spotless, thanks to the cleaning crew, and the garden got a regular bug treatment. So, it was rare for Celina to even see a bug."What's the big deal about a little bug?"Roslyn just could not understand.Evangeline did not have an answer. She did not know why Celina was scared of bugs; she just did her best to keep them away from her.Just then, a servant came rushing over

"Mrs. Gordon, it's been a while." David, spotting Evangeline, quickly offered his greetings."Cut it out, David. Calling me that is too much for Evie to handle." Roslyn jumped in before Evangeline could even get a word in. She was all too aware that Evangeline's divorce from Walter was in the works.Evangeline was about to break free from the chains of a loveless marriage and step into a fresh start. No way was she going to let David, that jerk's sidekick, keep up with the formalities.Evangeline listened as Roslyn said exactly what she was thinking, but she did not object. She just kept her cool, her eyes steady on David. "The butler mentioned you needed to see me about something. So, out with it."The Foster mansion was nothing short of grand, but chatting in the chilly breeze at the entrance was hardly fitting for the family's prestigious reputation. Still, they had no choice. The stubborn butler would not dream of letting the pompous David inside, so they had to make do.David

David tried to pin the blame on Walter with a single offhand remark.However, the way he said it just made Walter out to be that heartless boss squeezing every last drop out of a sick employee.Evangeline was about to respond when Roslyn's sarcastic voice cut in, "A business trip is your excuse? If you didn't want to go, could Walter have forced you out the door? Let's be real, you're all about work and couldn't care less about your girlfriend's wellbeing!"Roslyn's blunt words left David speechless and stunned Evangeline.After all, David was there for Celina.Roslyn, who had been poking fun at Celina just moments ago, was suddenly taking her side!Feeling Evangeline's astonished look, Roslyn squirmed a bit. However, with David there, she had to stand her ground."What? You think I'm wrong?""No, you're... spot on!"If the person they were talking about had not been there, Evangeline would have given Roslyn a standing ovation."Roslyn, since when did you get so fierce?"She

Roslyn's words hit David like arrows, and as he stood there, lost for words, Roslyn decided she had had enough of the chilly standoff with Evangeline."Okay, that's that. Let's head inside."Evangeline, a beat behind, was tugged forward by Roslyn to keep up.Behind them, David's eyes were deep pools of thought, his mind a mystery.The old butler had been eyeing David, the troublemaker, from the doorway the whole time.Who knew how long it took, but it seemed like David finally got the message and left, dragging his feet.Evangeline had been glued to the surveillance screens in the villa the entire time.It was not until David's figure disappeared down the road that she and Roslyn finally stepped out.There was one question that Evangeline had been dying to ask."Roslyn, I thought you weren't a fan of Celina. What made you defend her all of a sudden?"Roslyn had been so on point with her words that Evangeline did not even get a chance to chime in.She remembered a different R

"Ah, just ignore what I said, okay?"Evangeline quickly steered the conversation elsewhere. "What if... we go check on Celina downstairs? Or we could increase the security in the old house. I mean, if David decides to go all out and break into this house, we'd be sitting ducks, right?"While Evangeline rambled on, Roslyn's voice floated over, almost like she was talking to herself, "How do you know... I haven't already done whatever it takes?"Her voice was a whisper, barely audible except for the questioning lilt at the end.Looking back at her best friend, Evangeline saw only the heavy sadness etched on Roslyn's face.Roslyn was head over heels for Yale, and with her fiery spirit, there was no way she had not tried her best.'Maybe it's just not in the cards,' she thought.Roslyn quickly looked away, locking away her sadness."That's why I can't stand watching David be so spineless with Celina. Liking someone means going all in, right? It's not like there's no emotion involve

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
