Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 738
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

Walter had prepared the document the night before, scrubbing it clean of any Southern Crownlands government intel, leaving just the cooperation treaty. Emma would definitely catch a glimpse of the info while copying it, and he was eager to see how she would react.…Over at the Foster family's old place, Evangeline was up with the birds thanks to her plan with Hank.However, on this day, she was acting all kinds of strange. She did not wake her best friend Roslyn but instead snuck off to another room to get ready.Truth be told, she was more excited about what might spark between Yale and Roslyn than her own trip to Aurora Mountain.However, as she thought about it, she realized she might have been slightly unfair to Hank. So, the first thing she did after waking up was to give Hank a call.Hank was all set, just waiting for the right time to get in his car and head over to the Foster family's place to pick up Evangeline. Instead, his phone rang.Worried that Evangeline might ba

Aria was stunned for a moment but quickly regained her composure. "Is it a special day or something? Not only is Evie home, but Walter is here, too. Now we're all here together! What a lively family reunion."Walter slowly walked into the room.Since Evangeline was sitting, he had to stand by the side.Trey felt more giddy when he saw Walter entering.Walter immediately understood Trey and quickly said, "Everything at home is fine, Grandpa. You don't need to worry. Just focus on getting better here."Trey nodded, mumbling, "The company…""The company is fine, too. Don't you trust that Alex will take care of the company? And I wasn't just loitering around after I left the company. I've been doing things I like, living quite freely!" Walter spoke lightly, his smile so bright that it was almost blinding.If Evangeline had not seen the news that had caused such a huge stir, she might have believed what Walter said.When did Walter become such a good actor?Evangeline was inwardly

Evangeline quickly walked over and helped Aria to her feet, concerned as she asked, "Mrs. Gordon, what's wrong? Is it... Is it about Grandpa Trey?"Aria looked at the young face in front of her, and only then did she realize that it was Evangeline."I'm not seeing things, am I? Evie, is it really you?" Aria wiped her eyes in disbelief, her voice tinged with surprise.Before Evangeline could respond, Aria grabbed her hand. "You're here to see Grandpa Trey, right? He's inside, still sleeping. He hasn't been feeling well lately and just keeps sleeping. I'll wake him for you!"Aria stepped toward the door, but Evangeline, upon hearing that Trey was sleeping, quickly stopped her. "Let's not wake him now. I just came to visit."Evangeline handed the gift in her hand to Aria."How can that be?"Aria took the gift and quickly replied, "You don't know this, but he lies in bed every day just hoping someone will talk to him. Walter and the others are too busy to visit. Now that you're here

Evangeline stiffened, wiping away the tears in her eyes and pushing away Roslyn's embrace."Gordon Group is under Alex's control. Why should I be worried about Walter?"Although Roslyn knew Evangeline was just being stubborn, she did not want to argue with her."Okay, okay, you're not worried about him. But what about Trey? He's in the hospital now, and we don't even know his condition. Why not visit him?"Evangeline's gaze froze.Ever since Trey fell seriously ill, she had only seen him once and had not visited since. The old man was getting on in years; every visit might be one less time she could see him. She might have severed ties with Walter, but Trey was like her own grandfather. How could she bear not to check on him since he was in such a state?Even so…"What if I run into…"Trey was Walter's grandfather. What if she showed up and found Walter there, caring for him? Would that not be awkward?Roslyn patted the back of her hand, urging her to relax. "If I hadn't see

When Walter left the company, David resigned as well. With Walter back, the likelihood of David returning was high. At that time, where would Emma's position be?Walter immediately noticed Emma's worry. "Of course Mr. Zimmer will come back, but he is seriously injured right now and can't return for the time being. Once he recovers, he'll have his place. Just focus on your work."Emma nodded, understanding his words. "So what should we do next? The press conference by The Bennex Corporation is about to start."She glanced at the time; there was still an hour before the conference began."Should we just wait for them to make their move and not respond at all?"The issue The Bennex Corporation exposed at the press conference was a devastating blow to Gordon Group.Although the Gordon Group had a solution, the public did not know that, and it still impacted their reputation. A slight mistake could lead to irreversible damage!Walter stroked his chin. "No need for a response, but whe

"I will handle both matters properly and provide a clear explanation to all shareholders within a week."Walter's working style had always been swift and decisive. With just a few words, he managed to soothe the shareholders' concerns.As soon as he finished, the room erupted in thunderous applause. Praise followed closely behind, ringing out alongside the clapping.This was exactly the effect Walter had intended. With Alex gone and Walter regaining control of the company's management, the shareholders were fully convinced and showed no dissatisfaction.The meeting concluded.Walter was the first to return to his office.Unexpectedly, Emma followed him in without waiting for instructions.After entering the office, she stood across from his desk with her head lowered, looking hesitant as though struggling to find the words to speak.The sight annoyed Walter, and he decided to break the silence. "Ms. Carter, is there something you want to say?"Ever since discovering that Emma

Walter understood—Alex was handing the company over to him.Perhaps Alex finally regretted his decision to ally with a traitorous group.Emma, who had witnessed the entire upheaval, was still in shock. She stood frozen, staring blankly at the people around her, unsure of what to do.Noticing her dazed state, Walter did not seem upset. Instead, he chuckled lightly and reminded her, "Ms. Carter? The unwelcome guest has left. Why don't you close the door now? Our meeting is about to officially begin.""Of course," replied Emma softly with a lowered head. Nonetheless, her actions were swift as she moved to shut the meeting room door.Still, every step she took was unusually heavy, filled with trepidation and caution.For the first time, Walter saw a sense of complete submission in Emma's demeanor. Even so, he did not care about any of that.If it were not for David's severe injuries preventing him from attending the meeting, none of this would have fallen onto Emma's shoulders in th

"Go ahead, play it! Don't just grab some random video online and bring it here to slander me. I won't acknowledge it!"Walter found this response amusing."My dear brother, how can you be so certain that the video I have is just something I found online?"Alex's lips curved into a smirk. "There are no cameras in the CEO's office. Even if I did do something, it wouldn't have been recorded. Really, Walter, waving that USB drive like that—who are you trying to scare?"'Was Alex determined to deny everything until the bitter end?' thought Walter.Before he could respond, Emma stepped forward. "Exactly! I can understand your desire to return to the company, but you can't tarnish our CEO's name for your own selfish motives. Don't you agree?"Walter did not respond immediately.His sharp, dark eyes swept over both Emma and Alex before he calmly inserted the USB drive into the laptop he had prepared in advance.The video quickly appeared on the screen, but instead of projecting it onto

"Impossible! How could Mr. Alex Gordon possibly do such a thing?""Exactly! They're all part of the Gordon family. If Gordon Group collapses, how would that benefit him?""Well, you never know. Don't you remember what happened back then? Mr. Alex Gordon didn't leave Gordon Group voluntarily—he was forced out by Mr. Trey Gordon and Mr. Walter Gordon!"Everything was going smoothly, and then he was suddenly kicked out. Who wouldn't hold a grudge over that?"The crowd buzzed with speculation, including Emma, who had always been loyal to Alex.She looked at Alex in disbelief. "Mr. Gordon, what he said… it's not true, is it?"Her expression was complicated, tinged with visible disappointment.The reason she had helped Alex with those things was because she cared for him. She believed that he had returned to Gordon Group to achieve something great and that Trey and Walter were just thieves who had stolen the fruits of his labor.Walter's revelations seemed to suggest that Alex had be
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 908
Alex took a deep breath, his face darkening as he demanded, "Walter, you've been removed from the company. Grandfather personally stripped you of your authority in front of all the shareholders."You have no decision-making power in any company affairs. So, please leave my meeting room immediately. Thank you!"Contrary to expectations, Walter, despite being blatantly dismissed, remained unfazed. He sat firmly in his chair, unmoved."Yes, you and Grandfather forced me out of Gordon Group. But so what? Under your leadership, in these so-called traitor's hands, Gordon Group is on the brink of collapse."As a member of the Gordon family, am I supposed to just stand by and watch you drag Gordon Group into the abyss?"He leaned back slightly, his voice calm but sharp as a blade. "Or should I let these shareholders watch you use their hard-earned money to fill a bottomless pit—one that leads straight to an unmarked grave?"Alex's face paled at the accusation, and his hand trembled as he
