Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 727
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. Truth

"Nothing. Go see when your mom's serving dinner. I'm starving."Was that it? Just like that?Walter was stunned, hardly able to believe the conversation had ended so abruptly.Trey clutched his prized cane, lounging in the living room. He had waited for ages, and he was just going to let Walter off the hook that easily?He caught Walter's doubtful look and, with a flick of his cane, said in annoyance, "What, you need a good thrashing to feel right? If you're itching for it, I'm happy to help..."He was about to lift his cane when Walter, not about to wait around for that, made a beeline for the door.Little did Walter know, someone had been watching their every move from a hidden spot. It was not until Walter had bolted that the observer wheeled himself into the open."Grandpa, what's this?" Alex's eyes landed on the papers Trey had tossed onto the couch. He grabbed them, feigning curiosity. "What's this all about?"He did not even need to peek at the papers; he already knew wh

"As for that, I can't be certain," replied Alex with a nonchalant shrug. "I'll take my time. The right person will come along when it's meant to be."Alex flashed Trey a half-hearted smile, his mind buzzing with a single thought. "So, you turn to me only because Walter's out of the picture?"It did not really bother him, however. As long as he could introduce his future bride to his grandfather without any fuss, that was all that mattered.It was not every day that an elder would be accepting of a woman who married the younger brother before ending up with the older one.However, Trey did not take Alex's relaxed demeanor well and got all worked up."You can't be so laid back about this, man. You're in your thirties, and finding a wife should be top of your list! Tell you what, I'll have some old buddies over soon, maybe we can scout out the perfect girl for you..."Trey did not usually fret over Alex, but he was all grown up, and playing matchmaker was the least he could do.Ale

The only person who could pull that off was Evangeline.Walter felt his heart plummet.He had spilled the beans right in front of Trey!Dinner at the Gordon family's old house, with one elder and two youngsters, was surprisingly peaceful for once.Trey, though, kept a frosty look the whole time, only cracking a slight smile when he took a sip of his drink.Aria, not wanting to rub Trey the wrong way, nudged Walter to lay on the charm.Somehow, they managed to wrap up dinner without any drama. However, as soon as Trey set down his silverware, his voice dropped an octave."Walter, step into the study with me."That tone sent a shiver down Walter's spine.Family stuff was no secret to Aria and Alex. If they were heading to the study alone, it had to be about business.Trey's icy demeanor at dinner must have been because of the report Walter brought back.Walter braced himself, but facing the music still had him anxious.A sheaf of papers smacked him square in the face. Walter

Trey's expression fell.Walter saw the shift in his grandfather's expression but pressed on anyway."Alex has the skills and the vision. He could make a fortune for Gordon Group. Why are you so hung up on that old promise?"That was something Walter just could not wrap his head around.Before, when it came to Alex, he had only played the bad guy to keep Alex from holding a grudge against Trey.However, truth be told, Walter never really cared who ran Gordon Group. He actually thought it would be better off in Alex's hands, so he could go do his own thing.Trey let out a long, weary sigh. "Walter, you're giving others a leg up and selling yourself short. That's not like you..."His eyes, old and wise, suddenly looked clouded and sad as he gazed at Walter, a touch of sorrow in his gaze."Grandpa, you know me. I'm just being honest."It was easy to see things clearly from the outside, but Walter, even caught up in the middle of it all, managed to stay objective and fair about Ale

What baffled Walter was who could have convinced Trey to agree to such a thing.After all, Alex was a natural at business. Forcing him out of the game was like a fate worse than death!Did someone have a grudge against Alex?Caught up in his thoughts, Walter found himself at the bottom of the stairs.Instinctively looking ahead, he spotted a solitary figure in the garden through the villa's large windows.The chill of early spring lingered in the air.Alex was out there, dressed in a light camel hair coat with a blanket over his legs, staring blankly at the garden's faded glory.Walter did not interrupt him. Instead, he stood by the window, silently watching.Alex had always been his brother, and nothing could change that. Despite their different parents and the rivalry over Evangeline, Walter had always seen Alex as a true brother.As he watched the solitary figure outside, Walter wondered what was going through Alex's mind. Was he thinking about when he would return to the c

Yale had put his job on hold for the sake of the Foster family, and the higher-ups were not exactly thrilled about it.Anyone else would have raced back to work by then.However, with Evangeline's miscarriage and Cole's death, not to mention the constant threats of assassination and kidnapping, Yale was too worried about Evangeline's safety to leave.He was not about to let Holden pin that kind of rap on him.Holden realized he had crossed a line and quickly switched gears. "Okay, okay, so I've got a big mouth and I blabbed. You're the big brother, aren't you going to let it slide?"Just then, something dawned on Holden. "Hey, you've been home for ages now. What about your job... is everything okay there?"As he spoke, Holden kicked himself for being so clueless. He had only just thought about his elder brother's job situation.Yale held a top position in the north and could not leave a job like that unattended for long.Holden knew that Yale must be going through tough times o

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
