Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 737
Julieta pulled out her phone, thumb hovering over the screen as if she was about to shoot off a text to Evangeline."Is that the truth?"Julieta's words were flawless, but something still did not sit right.It was Roslyn who cut through the weird vibe hanging in the air. "Let's not get stuck on this, okay? Evie and I were off exploring the world, and Mrs. Lewis taking a break to head home made sense. However, we're back now. So, Mrs. Lewis, are you still planning to extend your vacation?"That hit like a splash of cold water.Evangeline had gotten so used to Julieta's cooking that the thought of her leaving was downright unsettling.However, Julieta…She had not seen her own home since she started as Evangeline's live-in nanny. She had meant to use that chance to catch up with her kids.Torn between her job and her family, Julieta set her packed bag down. "If you ladies aren't heading out, then I guess I'm not on holiday anymore."For a live-in nanny, the job always came first

Roslyn's words were fiercely loyal.Despite Evangeline backing out after agreeing to the lead song, Roslyn did not show a speck of resentment.Evangeline felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. Maybe that was what it meant to truly have someone in her corner. Then there was Walter. If Julia had been around, he would never have picked Evangeline first. It had happened enough times to make it clear.Still…"Aren't they going to be on your case about it?"After all, Evangeline was supposed to deliver the hit song, the make-or-break for the album's success."Worst comes to worst, I'll just say I told you not to write it. What can they really do to me?"Roslyn gave Evangeline's shoulder a reassuring pat. "So, you've got a clear path ahead, just don't be your own roadblock, okay? And don't sweat it about me. The album's my gig, and if I bail, they're the ones who'll take the hit, not me! They're not about to do something that dumb."Roslyn's pep talk did wonders for Evangeline's gu

"I'm not really tied up with anything, but going out to clear my head..."That thought had not even crossed her mind.Evangeline was about to blurt out her real plans when Roslyn yanked her back to reality. She caught herself just in time.Hank knew she was supposed to be traveling, so claiming she had not thought about taking a breather would be a dead giveaway that she was lying, right?"Can't make it to Southern Crownlands, but hey, another adventure could be just as cool. I'm still up in the air about where to go, though. Got any awesome ideas?"Evangeline instantly regretted the words. Everyone knew vacations were for time together, and there she was, asking for advice like a clueless newbie.However, Hank, too thrilled about the prospect of hitting the road with Evangeline, missed the awkwardness entirely."I'm thinking a local spin around Avalon City might be the ticket. You know, with the company and all, I have to stay on call. Wouldn't want to jet off too far and mess

"Okay, so when do we head out? I need to let Mrs. Lewis know to whip up some snacks ahead of time. Aurora Mountain is all mountains, and it's not like we can just grab a bite anywhere if we get peckish."'!'Hank was nearly floored.It was clear as day that his excuses were just to dodge any awkwardness with Evangeline. However, who would have guessed she would agree?Little did they know, Evangeline had seen all their little power plays.She did not feel much about it; she just felt like chuckling.Hank had invited her out, and she knew exactly what he was thinking. She also got why Roslyn had turned him down.However, to just go on a simple outing with Hank would be missing out on a golden chance.She needed to... spice things up a bit. To give her Roslyn one heck of a surprise.While Roslyn was off chasing down Julieta, Evangeline hit up Yale on the phone."Uncle Yale, I'm thinking of checking out Aurora Mountain with Hank tomorrow, is that alright with you?"She had alwa

Walter stood alone, his figure cast in shadows. He could not help but wonder, when would it be his turn to step into the spotlight?The question caught him off-guard. What was happening to him? Since graduating and being strong-armed by Trey into leading Gordon Group, his sole focus had been on the company's success. The old, sentimental Walter had been buried under a mountain of work.However, at this moment, it seemed like that part of him was stirring back to life.He checked the time. David and Celina's flight should have landed by then. Pulling out his phone, Walter dialed David's number without a second thought.Meanwhile, David, fresh from a trip to Southern Crownlands, was back again, feeling like a local. He was busy setting up a cozy spot for him and Celina, completely forgetting that they were actually in Celina's neighborhood.Celina watched David chatter away, too polite to cut him off. However, Walter's call was a godsend.As David wavered between answering and igno

In a lavish five-star hotel in Southern Crownlands…David lounged against the headboard, his gaze fixed on the tablet. The screen displayed the scanned documents Walter had sent over.He knew every word there, but pieced together, they made no sense to him.The Southern Crownlands government was supposed to be legitimate, so how could they pull off such sneaky moves behind the scenes after being all upfront and honest?They had a smooth talk during the initial deal-making, after all!He just could not wrap his head around what the Southern Crownlands government could possibly gain from this. Did they think the folks at Gordon Group were just a bunch of nobodies?When they inked the deal, did not anyone take a good, hard look at the paper documents they had sent over?He had to get in touch with Walter right away to figure out their next move.Only when he heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, David finally made the call with ease.He was not trying to be overly c

Had Walter stumbled upon something new?Before David could even greet him, Walter's grave voice filled his ear. "David, forget about dealing with the Southern Crownlands government.""You can't be serious, Mr. Walter Gordon," David stammered in disbelief. "You know how crucial the diamond mine case is for Gordon Group. How can a contract like this be so... ambiguous?"David's jaw dropped, and for a second, he could not even remember who he was. He just blurted out his question to Walter.If Gordon Group went through with that deal with the Southern Crownlands government, they would be pouring a fortune into a black hole. They would be working their tails off for nothing, with 80 percent of their cash stuck in quicksand.For a big-shot company like Gordon Group, that was playing with fire. If their cash flow hit a snag, they would be staring down the barrel of bankruptcy.Walter had to have seen that disaster coming. "I'm dead serious," Walter said with a steely edge to his voice.

What disturbed Walter the most was figuring out the identity of the thief.If job importance was the measure, David topped the list of suspects.Before David had flown off to Southern Crownlands, he had had a hand in pretty much all of Walter's projects. However, Walter knew David was loyal, and besides, David had no motive or chance to pull off such a heist.The papers had not been out of Walter's sight for long.He had only put them in the safe after coming back from the old Gordon family house, and the safe was right there in his office.Plus, Walter always locked up when the office was closed—it could not have been at night.That left the time he was at the airport dropping off Evangeline.However, David had been all wrapped up in thoughts of Celina's return to Southern Crownlands and had headed to the airport way early. He could not have been the one.That narrowed it down to one person.His new secretary, Emma Carter.Walter had his suspicions about Emma for good reason

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
