Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 791
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,

Alex always had a soft spot for Evangeline's spunky side, and seeing it then brought a laugh to his lips. His eyes, dark as night, were filled with nothing but fondness for her."Evie, remember I told you once about someone I really, really liked?"Evangeline nodded.There had been times when she had let out all her pent-up anger and frustration from dealing with Walter on Alex.Alex, on the other hand, had occasionally let her in on his heartaches.It was during those heart-to-heart moments that their friendship really took off, becoming the kind where they could share anything and everything.However, when it came to that special someone, Alex did not bring her up much. Whenever he did, Evangeline could see a touch of sadness in his eyes, so she eventually stopped praying."So, are you two together now?"Even though Evangeline had long since let go of any hope for something more with Walter, she could not help but feel a surge of joy for Alex as he found his slice of happines

Why did life have to be so harsh?The brothers were identical, but the older one was even nicer than the younger sibling. Alas, Evangeline had fallen for the younger, wild one, and it was a love she could not shake off.At that moment when Evangeline thought Alex's confession was from Walter, she faced the truth.Evangeline looked down, her voice finally breaking the silence."Alex..."She was about to turn him down, but Alex did not wait for her to get the words out."Evie, I get that me laying my heart out like this is kind of out of the blue, especially with the whole me-and-Walter thing, and you just split from him. If we jumped into something now, it wouldn't look great. So, no rush on giving me an answer, okay?"Alex inhaled deeply, then added, "All I'm asking is that you give my feelings a real thought."Truth is, Evie, you've been the only one for me. Always."What no one saw was Alex's hands, hidden under the blanket across from Evangeline, balled into fists so tight

Carl nodded. "Sir, do you want to check the results?"Alex sighed in relief but then clenched his fists together. It was more than just a fist. It was as if he was holding one hand tightly with the other, the same hand that had just touched Evangeline."No need. Release it tomorrow morning at nine."Carl's eyes widened in surprise, but the slight upturn of Alex's lips told him all he needed to know. He simply nodded and said, "Alright."Alex, looking weary, waved Carl over. "Drive me home, will you?"With that, the man in the sleek black coat helped Alex into the car, just like the driver Alex had once hired for his own ease of travel.The road was wide and empty, the headlights cutting through the night like twin beacons, shattering the silence and darkness.The hum of the engine and the hiss of the exhaust filled the air, the tires whispering against the pavement.None of that slowed them down.After a quick drive, the car pulled up in front of the grand Gordon family villa.

Aria patted Alex's shoulder, ready to wheel him in, but Alex held her back. "Aunt Aria, my assistant can take care of this."That was a polite brush-off if Aria ever heard one.A flicker of awkwardness crossed Aria's face, but she did not back down. "Feeling formal, huh? An assistant's just an assistant, but an aunt's family. It's different, you know.""I hadn't really been all that involved in your life, so maybe this is one way of making up for it," said Aria, not waiting for a response from Alex before nudging him toward the dining table and the place setting the housekeeper had arranged just for him."Dad, I'm all done. You and Alex enjoy your meal," she said, leaving the two of them alone at the sprawling table.Alex focused on his food while Trey watched him in silence. It was not often that the grandfather and grandson duo got to spend time together, and neither seemed eager to break the quiet.It was only after Alex set down his fork that Trey ventured to ask, "Alex, you

It was a document Walter had sworn he would never sign, yet there it was on the penultimate page: the Gordon Group's seal and Walter's own signature."How is this possible?"Despite his failing eyesight, Trey was jolted into sharp focus by the shock.Anger was sizzling inside Trey, hidden from Alex's view. His fists were balled up in fury as he grabbed the intercom and ordered with a voice as deep as a canyon, "Get someone on the line! Tell Walter to get back here to see me, and make it snappy!"Once he hung up, Trey's steely gaze landed on Alex.Alex could feel it—his big break was finally there. "Grandpa, you're aware of how critical this case is, and I bet Walter knows it too. He wouldn't have done what he did without some serious thought. Let's not get worked up. We should hear him out when he gets here."Alex put on his best act of being the wise-beyond-his-years kid, hoping to impress Trey with his thoughtfulness.However, his words only fanned the flames."If explanation

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,

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

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
