"I came all this way just to see you off," said David, completely ignoring Evangeline's earlier advice.Why should he hide the fact that he was there to walk his wife to her flight?If Celina was set on leaving, he was prepared to hop on that plane with her."No need to bother, thanks," Celina said with a polite smile, while her hands firmly pushed against David's chest, trying to break free from his hold.However, David barely noticed her feeble attempts. After a short struggle, Celina was at her wit's end. "Let go of me! I'm boarding the plane now!"As Celina's struggles grew fiercer, David decided to stay calm and released her. "Don't go, or let me join you on the flight—it's your call."He laid out the options for Celina, acting like he was doing her a favor."In your dreams! Why on earth would I do what you say?"Celina was nobody's puppet; she was used to calling the shots. The idea of taking orders from a suddenly bossy David was out of the question."Why should you, yo

Evangeline thought it through for a while and decided she should not squash Roslyn's excitement. She was all in for the trip.Out of the blue…"Evangeline, hold up."A husky voice cut through the bustling crowd. Evangeline blinked, half-believing her ears were playing tricks on her.Meanwhile, Roslyn was practically bouncing with impatience. "Evie, let's move it!"Just as Evangeline was about to speed up, a strong hand clamped down on her wrist."Hey, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?"She glanced up, and there was Walter, standing right there.Evangeline's mind hit pause as she stared at the guy who had seemingly materialized out of thin air."Well, isn't this a surprise, Mr. Walter Gordon." She tried to sound casual. "Are you catching a flight too?"Walter was straightforward."Nope, not flying."Evangeline raised an eyebrow.Not flying? Then what was he doing at the airport?When Roslyn noticed Evangeline had not budged, she turned, only to jump at the sight of W

"It doesn't matter whether I hurt Evangeline or not. What matters is..."David had just discovered that Evangeline and Roslyn had tickets to Southern Crownlands.Walter had only intended to catch a glimpse of Evangeline from afar, but the moment he learned she was headed to Southern Crownlands, he lost it.He had gone through so much trouble to trade Julia for Evangeline's safety and well-being back home.The Bennison family crisis was over, and Julia, the instigator, had been temporarily taken to Southern Crownlands by Ethan.However, Evangeline was about to walk right into the lion's den! That just could not happen!"Hey, are you guys heading to Southern Crownlands or what?"He knew Roslyn well enough to know that she would not back down unless he spelled things out for her. Evangeline was the same, but even more so. She might seem all laughs and easy to talk to, but when she dug her heels in, changing her mind was close to impossible.A shadow of confusion crossed Roslyn's e

The diamond mine in Southern Crownlands was then the heart of Gordon Group's expansion, and Walter had thrown his entire focus into it.However, the winds at the company had shifted against him. Trey, who had been out of the loop for ages, was suddenly keen on meddling with the staff management. Right on his heels was Alex, with his eyes set on the prize.If Walter turned his back on the company's pile of issues then, he might as well hand the reins right over to Alex!That was why he could not leave with Evangeline, and Evangeline could not just up and leave Avalon City!"What a joke. Why should I do what you say?" Evangeline let out a bitter laugh, shaking off Walter's hand, but not without a twinge of sympathy."Walter, you've got three minutes to make your case. Convince me, and I'll head back."Roslyn caught the undertone in Evangeline's challenge and her eyes went wide."Evie, you..." 'Why would you even consider his words?'Evangeline was already losing her patience and

So, if Roslyn and Evangeline did not show up in person, it would not make a difference, right?No point in spelling that out for Walter.Roslyn took Evangeline's hand excitedly as they left the airport.Yale had their backs with a private jet on standby to keep Evangeline safe. There was still time to hash out whether they should go.On the way to the jet, Roslyn realized Evangeline had not said anything. She turned, shocked, only to find her with a blank stare, her eyes hollow. She was just going through the motions, following her out, lost in her thoughts."Evie, we need to talk about our trip to Southern Crownlands again," said Roslyn.Evangeline's attention snapping back as she looked up, puzzled. "Are you scared because Julia is there?" The words tumbled out before Evangeline could stop them, and she instantly regretted it.Roslyn was not afraid of anything. Why would she be scared then?"Yeah, I'm scared," Roslyn admitted without a beat. "Julia's been messing with you fro

The document came in triplicate, the final version hammered out by David and the folks over in Southern Crownlands. Walter just needed to sign his name, stamp his seal, keep one copy, and send the other two back from whence they came. Then, it would all be official.As he looked over the papers, Walter was on the edge of his seat. The long, drawn-out legal battle over the diamond mines was about to wrap up with a neat little bow.The verdict was clear as day: Gordon Group had outmaneuvered the competition, and with the Bennison family bowing out, they had snagged the Southern Crownlands government's blessing to mine those sparkling gems.That standoff had been going on for a solid two years, and it was finally over. It should have been a moment of triumph, but Walter's face was all scrunched up in worry as he read the fine print.A whopping 30 billion dollars in investment for the Southern Crownlands diamond mines, plus giving away a 30 percent cut of the profits? What was the deal

Walter drove steadily, but his mind was anything but calm.He had had the Southern Crownlands government documents for only 30 minutes. How did Trey find out so fast? Coincidence seemed too convenient. If someone was behind that…Suddenly, Walter's vision blurred, and he slammed on the brakes. The car skidded to a halt. Jumping out, he saw the front wheel teetering a mere three feet from a gaping pit. If he had not been so lost in thought, he would have seen the danger in time.Walter's close call had sharpened his thoughts.Someone who had touched that document was playing dirty—there was a traitor in the company.They had gone straight to Trey, using the Southern Crownlands' diamond mine deal to drive a wedge between grandfather and grandson, threatening to turn the solid Gordon Group into a battleground.Too many stood to gain from the chaos, and Walter could not pin down the backstabber just yet. All he could do then was head back to the old house and see what Trey had to say

Trey was supposed to be all over the Southern Crownlands case, right?Handing over the document without being asked had to be better than waiting for Trey to demand it.However, Trey's reaction was explosive. He chucked the document aside like it was nothing."Walter, look at you, all grown up. You barely come home, and when you do, the first thing you talk about is work?"You're so into your job. Why'd you even bother getting married?"'Again with Evangeline!'Walter had convinced himself that Trey was just blowing off steam over some work issue. However, deep down, it was all about his rocky marriage to Evangeline."Alright, sure, I married Evangeline, but we both know the real story of how she ended up in the Gordon family, don't we, Grandpa?"Back then, he did not want to marry Evangeline at all.Sometimes he wondered, if he had just refused to let Evangeline into his life, would he be spared the heartache he felt then?However, that was just Walter making excuses.

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
