Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 786
"Yep." Wyatt nodded firmly. "But come on, don't you think I'm speaking the truth here?"Sometimes, I wonder if you've really sorted out your feelings. Are you head over heels for Evangeline, or have you been fooling yourself right from the start?"Alex was taken aback. He had never thought of his feelings for Evangeline as some kind of self-deception."Why would you call it a deception? You think I'm lying to myself?"He pointed at his chest with a derisive laugh. "Do I look like an idiot to you?"Wyatt locked eyes with Alex, and in those eyes, just like Walter's, there was an intense fire to come out on top."Being too competitive can sometimes make you lose sight of what's real."Do you think maybe your crush on Evangeline is just about beating Walter? From where I'm standing, it sure looks that way."They say outsiders had the clearest view, but Alex, the insider, never once questioned his feelings for Evangeline."Well, you couldn't be more wrong. You have no idea what's g

Wyatt was gone.All Alex could feel was a pang of regret.After all, with just one piercing glance, he knew that Wyatt's easygoing words were just a show. He was not coming back.However, finding another capable sidekick for Alex was a piece of cake with his army of minions.However, it was Evangeline who was on his mind at this moment.He had to keep the news he had gotten through the grapevine from Evangeline at all costs, leaving him with only one good excuse to use.…Evangeline, relaxing at the old Foster family mansion, carefreely savored an apple Julieta had peeled for her.Roslyn and Holden were hovering around Evangeline, tiptoeing around her, dying to ask her something but too unsure to actually do it. Nonetheless, the worry was eating them up inside.Julieta, feeling pretty useless, decided to duck into the kitchen to whip up some chicken soup.Of course, everyone had their breaking point.Finally, Holden and Roslyn could not take it anymore and settled it with ro

It was clear as day to Evangeline. She knew exactly what Roslyn and Holden were up to behind her back.Roslyn, seeing Evangeline's reaction, dropped the act. "Evie, since you've figured it out, spill it. Stop leaving us hanging."For crying out loud, the silent tension of the past few minutes was nearly unbearable!"It's not like there's much to tell."Evangeline could not fathom their tiptoeing around the issue. Her split with Walter was not a new drama.It was just that time, it stung more than ever.Nonetheless, what of it? Was the heartache not part of the deal when she cared about someone?She was not about to play the tough girl anymore, no more hiding her true feelings.Even if she had convinced herself for a moment that she had forgotten him, that she was over Walter, what did it matter in the end? She could fool her mind, but her heart was a different story.After all that time apart, even though every encounter was a clash, when Walter got hurt protecting her, she co

They had not had much chance to talk before Evangeline's mishap, and since then, they had been preoccupied with her situation.The dust had settled, and Roslyn was at a loss for words when she saw Yale again.Holden noticed something off about Roslyn. She was usually so fiery, but then she seemed to have cooled off in front of Yale.Taking the lead, he said, "Evie has gone to her room. We figured she might need some space right now."Emotions were tricky, and sometimes, he just had to let people handle them on their own.Yale nodded slightly as if he agreed with Holden's take on the situation. Turning to Roslyn, his normally stoic face showed a trace of awkwardness."Ahem! Roslyn, could you join me in the study for a moment?" In front of his little brother Holden, he signaled to Roslyn with a wave.Roslyn blushed instantly, shaking her head so hard that he would think it was a rattle drum. "No way am I going over there."Yale's reaction was a dead giveaway—he had something secr

Roslyn found herself swept into Yale's arms, his voice ringing with authority next to her ear, "Think you're not coming with me? You don't get to decide that!"Yale's commanding presence made Roslyn squirm uncomfortably in his hold. "Let go of me, you jerk!"Yale tightened his grip, lifting Roslyn effortlessly, and whispered teasingly into her ear, "Roslyn, ever heard the saying, 'Girls love a bad boy'?"They continued their playful tussle all the way to the study.The room was stark and functional, filled with books and papers, with a single set of solid wood furniture that matched Yale's no-nonsense personality.Roslyn's eyes landed on the forlorn-looking solid wood sofa in the corner, and she had an instant realization.Yale brought her to the study for a serious chat!All the steamy scenes Roslyn had conjured up in her mind faded to dull gray.If only she had known it was going to be like that, she would not have been scared at all…Roslyn's lips twitched, her eyes brimmin

Evangeline stretched out with a contented sigh, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the sheet music sprawled across her notebook. Her cheeks were rosy with the thrill of creation.She had finally penned the lead song, a melody woven with the bittersweet threads of misplaced love.Eager to breathe life into her composition, she hurried to the piano room, clutching her notebook. She took out her phone, tapped the recorder app, and hit play.The music danced between lively and somber notes, weaving an emotion so complex it was like a mist hanging between her eyes and the endless blue above—obscure and elusive. However, with each note's fall, it spilled the poignant sorrow of love gone awry and the cathartic release of moving beyond yesterday's shadows.A musician's work often laid bare their interpretation of the theme. That was Evangeline's take on love's missteps.The affection of those who cared for her had once brought heartache and irrevocable regret.Even so, who could declare

Alex was informed about Evangeline's injury way before the call. The so-called good news was just a front; he was really after an update on her condition."Just a tiny scrape, nothing to worry about."Walter's name almost slipped out, but Evangeline caught herself just in time.After all, she and Walter had reached a point where he saved her only to settle a score. Why tell Alex about it?"That's a relief."Evangeline could chat on the phone, so she could not be that banged up.Alex breathed easier. "If you're hurt, stay put. What if I swing by instead?"He was not just looking to save Evangeline the hassle. He also figured it would be a good chance to rub elbows with the Foster family. Getting friendly with the Foster brothers could come in handy, especially if he and Evangeline became an item.Evangeline pondered her current predicament, with both her uncles and Roslyn at home.A surprise visit from Alex could spark some unwanted drama.It was not paranoia. After all, Alex

Indeed, he had mentioned on the phone that he had exciting news for her. "What's the scoop?" asked Evangeline eagerly.Alex had always been her rock, her 'bro'. Nothing, not even Walter's shadow, could change that bond. Naturally, his good news was her good news.A blush tinged Alex's cheeks, and Evangeline's curiosity skyrocketed. "Come on, Alex, spill it!"As Evangeline's anticipation reached a fever pitch, Alex pressed a finger to his lips, signaling her to hush. He wheeled himself closer to her. "Evie, brace yourself, okay? And try to keep it down, will you?"She nodded, a silent promise hanging between them. Then, with a gentle tug, Alex lifted the blanket from his legs, revealing limbs that were thinner than most. The air hung heavy with expectation and the unspoken story behind his condition.A thought flashed through Evangeline's mind, but she quickly clamped a hand over her mouth, thinking about the warning Alex had given earlier."What's going on..."Alex stayed quiet,

Evangeline felt a stir in her heart as Alex's persuasive voice washed over her. She knew he was twisting the truth, but she could not quite pin down a comeback to shut him down.Hurting someone in the name of love could not possibly be true love, could it?She saw right through Alex's charming tricks—classic manipulator moves. If she let herself get sucked into his logic, she would be brainwashed in no time, turned into his personal puppet. 'Alex, you're seriously scary,' she thought to herself.If she fought back too hard, he would only come at her with worse, and she was not exactly in a position to fight back. She was about as intimidating as a kitten.No, she had to be clever about that."I believe you," she said, her voice light and airy as if she did not have a care in the world. Even tied up as she was, her smile and bright eyes made her look utterly adorable."You know, Alex, you're making a lot of sense. I mean, what have I gotten from chasing after Walter all this tim

Foster Group had revamped its game, and it was a whole new ballgame. However, just because they had ditched their old ways, did that mean nobody was left to pick up the slack?Alex was clued in on all of that, yet fear was not in his vocabulary."You really think I'm scared to mess with you because of that?" Alex's voice dripped with icy mockery. "Evangeline, the only reason I haven't pushed you is because I love you too much to make you do anything... intimate."However, if my caring turns into your scorn, then sorry, I can't just stand by and do nothing.""Too much love to force me?" Evangeline laughed like she had heard the funniest joke ever. "Does your face turn red when you say that? Does lying make you squirm?"You say you can't force me, but did I come to this creepy place because I wanted to? Did I ask you to tie me up like this?"Alex's face hardened, and his words were laced with pure fury."Evie, if you keep bad-mouthing me, keep getting me wrong, I'm going to lose

"Spill it, why did you bring me here, and why am I all tied up?"Evangeline had already taken in every detail of the room, feeling a wave of strangeness wash over her.She knew for a fact she had never set foot in that place before.Then again, this was Alex's secret lair. How could she have ever been there?Alex did not answer right away. Instead, he caressed her cheek with one hand, boasting arrogantly, "When I bring my girl to my place, there's no need for a reason."Evangeline tried to shrink away from his touch, but the ropes made it impossible to move.She resigned herself and thrust her bound hands toward Alex. "Alex, is this your idea of treating a woman right?"Drugging me, tying me up while I'm knocked out? Don't you think these tactics are a little low, even for you?"Before this, Evangeline had never thought Alex could be so vile.However, there he was, his hand casually resting on the ropes that tied her up, while his other hand reached out to grab hers. He looked

The room was so soundproof that Evangeline did not catch a word of the conversation. If she had, she would have laughed and said that the biggest danger she faced was Alex himself.Too bad Evangeline was out of earshot, and Yale was clueless that Alex was just faking concern. Considering how close Alex seemed to be with Evangeline and how worried he acted, Yale pushed aside his suspicions.Alex played the caring friend perfectly, offering Yale a few comforting words. However, Yale was too focused on the search for Evangeline to chat, so he hung up quickly.As soon as the call ended, the worried look on Alex's face melted away, replaced by a smug grin.'Yale, I wonder how you'll look next time we meet, when I'm introduced as Evangeline's boyfriend? Will you be relieved, or will you be steaming mad? Either way, I bet it'll be a picture worth seeing.'Of course, Yale's reaction did not matter. Alex had one thing on his mind today: to win Evangeline over.In a perfect world, he would

Walter did not buy the story for a second, his eyes locked on Thomas."That toy you're holding is the Shadow Wing, isn't it? A casual one million five hundred thousand dollar purchase—come on, you're no average person."Even though Thomas was riddled with doubts, he knew that was not the time to get caught up in them."Thomas, once we wrap this up and Evangeline's back safe, let's really get to know each other, okay?"Thomas just gave a nonchalant shrug. "Sure thing, I'm ready whenever you are."Just then, Thomas's eyes sparkled as he zeroed in on the screen."Got her! She's right here!"Walter glanced over at Thomas, and there was Evangeline's face on the screen, pale with fury.In a room on the third floor of the mansion, at the turn of the corridor, Evangeline was lying on the bed, a flimsy blanket her only cover. Tightly bound beneath the thin fabric were her wrists and ankles.As the memories from before she blacked out rushed back, Alex's triumphant smirk haunted Evangel

The gas pedal hit the floor, and the car surged forward faster than ever.Walter's mind was racing, fixated on the upcoming rescue.However, the place they pulled up to was all too familiar.It was the very villa where Walter's secret rendezvous had once been exposed.Stepping out of the car, Thomas could not suppress a chuckle at the sight of the private estate."It's kind of funny, you know? I thought bumping into an old friend while out and about was surprising enough, but to end up in the very same place, too?"Walter was not shocked, however.He had suspicions about Alex and had done his homework. This villa? It was Alex's hideout.What he did not expect was Alex could be so bold as to drag Evangeline there.Walter had been to that villa once. It was huge, with rooms galore, and pinning down which one Evangeline might be in was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If they were going to find her, they would have to check each room, which was a real pain.Walter caught

"How do I save Evangeline? And who the heck are you?"That enigmatic tipster, who kept dropping hints about Evangeline's peril, was no ordinary person.However, instead of an answer, all Walter got was the infuriating buzz of a busy signal.[Meet at the Dell family's alley crossroads in ten minutes.]Walter stared at the text, his curiosity about this cryptic informant spiking. It was like they knew exactly where he was, setting up the rendezvous right around the corner from the hospital.[Why should I trust you? And who are you, really?]Uncertainty swirled around Walter like a thick fog, but he was not about to let go of that mysterious lifeline that might just pull Evangeline back to safety.He shot back a quick reply and turned to David. "How many can we muster from the Gordons' forces?"Walter never imagined his grandfather would kick him out of Gordon Group. He had always focused on keeping the business running smoothly, never bothering to build up his own crew.However,
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 885
The thought struck David like lightning."All the Bennison family's clout is in Alex's grip. Could Alex be plotting against Ms. Evangeline? But wait, doesn't Alex have a thing for her? They could meet up in the open, no problem. So why would the Fosters kick up such a storm?"Nonetheless, who else in all of Avalon City would dare to mess with the Fosters' darling Evangeline in the open?As Walter was racking his brains, David suddenly gasped, a eureka moment lighting up his face."I got it! Alex has booted you from the company and got the thumbs up from Mr. Gordon. Gordon Group's practically his. He's on top of the world. If he now goes after Ms. Evangeline..."David clamped his mouth shut mid-sentence, realizing the rest was too risky to voice in front of Walter.However, he trusted Walter's smarts. Even without spelling it out, Walter would get the picture.He did. The moment Walter caught on to the unspoken words, panic washed over him, and he started sweating bullets.Alex
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 884
Yale's search revealed that the bodyguards assigned to Evangeline had been secretly taken out.The enemy's bad intentions were obvious.However, they were clueless and had no idea who the bad guy was.Evangeline had vanished without leaving a single clue, leaving Yale with nowhere to start."What do we do now?" Roslyn was pacing back and forth, frantic.Celina, biting down on her teeth with regret, said, "If only I'd stayed with Ms. Evangeline when she went out, or stopped her from leaving!"However, wishing for do-overs was like hoping for a magic cure for regret. It simply did not exist. No matter how much they were hurting, they could not rewrite the ending.The real problem was, they were clueless about who they were up against. The people the Foster family had sent out were just running in circles at the last place Evangeline had been spotted, like they were chasing their own tails.Then, Roslyn had a lightbulb moment."Evie got a call before she left. Can we dig into her
