Chapter 745

Author: Sisi Yea
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

    At that point, even Hank, who was not the sharpest tool in the shed, could tell what Evangeline was up to. "So, you're trying to match Mr. Yale Foster with your best friend?""Yep." Evangeline nodded enthusiastically. "Do you think they'd be cute together?"Before Hank could get a word in, Evangeline had an 'oh-duh' moment and smacked her forehead. "I totally spaced on this—you're not exactly the type to have celebrity crushes, are you? You probably don't even know what Roslyn looks like."Evangeline quickly showed a picture of Roslyn on her phone to show him.Hank glanced at the photo, but it was Yale's serious face that popped into his head.Could that workaholic actually fall for someone?However, he could not dare say that to Evangeline. He was in full-on wooing mode, and everything was about what Evangeline wanted. No way was he going to rock the boat.If it turned out to be a wild goose chase, so be it. He was game for a little chaos if it meant spending time with Evangeli

    At that moment, Hank had finished his phone call and came over. Their moment of closeness had been cut short, leaving Hank feeling frustrated and a little awkward around Evangeline."Evie, I've taken care of what you asked me to do. Anything else?" he asked.Evangeline, coming back to the present, shook her head. "No, that's everything. Let's head out, Uncle Yale will be here any minute."They walked in silence, an unspoken agreement between them not to bring up what had just happened.The parking lot was deserted as they made their way through it, and suddenly, the sound of a car engine broke the silence.Evangeline saw the butler pulling into a spot with Yale's car.Glancing at her watch, she thought, 'Uncle Yale, you're early. I hope Roslyn's awake by now.'She picked up the pace, leaving the parking lot and told Hank to go find his car and come back at the usual time.She went straight to meet Yale.The villa was quiet except for the sound of Julieta busily making breakfas

    How could Evangeline move on and find her happily ever after if she did not get that divorce?Yale was about to dial James when, out of the blue…"Uncle Yale, don't say that. I know what I'm worth."Evangeline shot Yale a look that was a mix of sadness and frustration, then let out a sigh before adding, "Maybe I'm not the one for Hank, but my best friend Roslyn is another story. She's gorgeous, has a voice like an angel, and she's a celeb."Sure, she's not top of the charts yet, but she's breaking into movies and TV, and she's only going to climb higher. Uncle Yale, don't you think Roslyn and Hank would be perfect together?"She was playing him like a fiddle. By dropping Hank's name, she was trying to light a fire of jealousy in Yale!If Yale caught on to his own green-eyed monster, he would have to face the music about everything else."Them together?"Yale could not shake the image of Roslyn and Hank together. He pictured Roslyn's delicate hand linked with Hank's as they stoo

    "That's exactly why I thought of setting her up with Hank when she told me that."Evangeline's face turned all serious as she said this, and she made sure to warn Yale. "Look, I'm only spilling the beans to you, so keep it under wraps, okay? And don't you dare meddle in their business. Whether they click or not, it's on them!"I'm actually rooting for them to hit it off. It'd be another reason for the Foster family to celebrate!"Yale let out a dismissive snort. "What's their wedding got to do with the Foster family?"Evangeline shot back, clearly annoyed, "Come on, one is my best friend and the other is the CEO of Foster Group. How can you say it's got nothing to do with us?"Uncle Yale, you're the head honcho of the Foster family. You've got to be all smiles on their big day and even pick out a gift for the happy couple yourself!"Yale pictured it: Roslyn in her bridal gown, beaming next to Hank, and him... standing there, handing over a gift with both hands.The thought made

    Hank was the kind of guy who knew how to play by the rules.He really liked Evangeline, and part of him wanted to just agree with everything she said. However, deep down, he knew they should not be sneaking around, spying on Yale."Let's just drop it. Love stuff is tricky, and even if we did see something, we couldn't do much about it. It's just extra stress we don't need. Better to stay out of it.""But…"Hank had a point, and Evangeline knew it, but her curiosity was like a wild horse she could not rein in.Suddenly, a big hand covered her eyes, plunging her world into darkness.From somewhere above, Hank's voice floated down. "No 'buts' about it. What if we end up seeing something super awkward? Better safe than sorry, right?"'Yeah, he's right. Better not to look.'Evangeline let the idea go, but then she was hyper-aware of Hank's hand on her face. His palm was warm against her eyelids, and she could trace the lines of his skin with her mind.A rush of something like elect

    Roslyn had to double-check her surroundings, half-convinced she had stumbled out of the wrong room in her groggy, just-woke-up state.However, no, that was definitely her room. She had not made a mistake."I came to wake you up," said Yale, smoothing away the awkwardness from his face. His eyes, usually so piercing, held a hint of something unusual.Normally, Roslyn's spontaneous 'Uncle Yale' would have brought him joy, especially when she chimed in with Evangeline. However, with the thought of Evangeline playing matchmaker for Roslyn and Hank, the idea of her small hands clasped in Hank's was like a thorn in his side. Why did the endearment suddenly sound so jarring?What was going on with him? Roslyn was just a kid. Why was he getting so worked up over that?"I'm up now, thanks to you, Uncle Yale," said Roslyn, her smile sweet and radiant. She was not trying to be brave, but it was just…Knowing she did not hold a place in Yale's heart, she chose to keep up her usual sunny disp

    Yale's gaze fell as disappointment crossed his face.The room filled with an awkward silence.Julieta, who had been busy with the food, noticed Yale and Roslyn looking lost in the living room and walked over, confused. "Mr. Yale Foster, Ms. Shaw, are you guys waiting for Ms. Evangeline?""Yeah, Evie's sure taking her sweet time. How long does it take to fetch someone and not be back by now..."Before Yale could finish, Julieta cut in with a puzzled tone, "To fetch someone? You're talking about Mr. Tarp, aren't you?"A look of realization dawned on Julieta's face. "Oh dear, it totally slipped my mind. Ms. Evangeline told me to let you know that she and Mr. Tarp have headed to Aurora Mountain. She reminded me to bring you the food we prepared."Julieta had thought of everything—the spread included all sorts of dishes, complete with self-heating packs for a meal that was both easy and nourishing.Seeing the hefty bag of goodies, Yale finally took Julieta at her word.So, Yale was

    Yes, Roslyn was riding shotgun. With Yale around, she had no interest in taking the wheel.Yale watched Roslyn claim her seat and knew the score. He hefted the food bags and moved them to the Ferrari.Score one for Roslyn! After all their little battles, she had finally snagged a win.Yale settled into the driver's seat, still trying to play the voice of reason, but who was he kidding? Roslyn had made up her mind, and that was that."Roslyn, Aurora Mountain is going to be packed today, and this flashy Ferrari is going to stick out like a sore thumb."Being the center of attention was not always exciting; it could make things awkward and spoil the fun."So what if we stand out? I'm a celeb who's in the spotlight every day. Think I'm scared of a few extra stares at Aurora Mountain?" said Roslyn with a confident toss of her hair.Yale could only think of one thing. 'Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agr

    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
