Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 803
"You're talking about Gordon Group, right?"Cuddly Cutie, since when did you start second-guessing herself? He's just a guy. Out with the old, in with the new, right? What's there to hang onto? You're divorced, so why keep him on your mind?"Snow Wolf's words were laid-back but hit Evangeline right in the feels.She understood, however, that Snow Wolf was not trying to sting her. He was just trying to nudge her to move on, to let her know that Walter was in the rearview mirror and she should not waste her feelings on him anymore."It's not like that," she protested."Oh? Then what's it like?" Snow Wolf did not miss a beat, pushing for an answer.In his eyes, Evangeline was not just the person who signed his paychecks; she was a friend. No way would he have ever dared to ask such a bold question otherwise."It's kind of a long story, and I can't really put it into words."Evangeline tried to brush off the question, but then it hit her—there was something she had not considered.

"If you do this for me, it's a big help," said Evangeline firmly. After she hung up, her mind was a whirlwind that just would not settle down.Trouble was brewing at Gordon Group.Yale, privy to the inside scoop, found himself reevaluating Walter in a new light.What could link those two seemingly unrelated events?The answer lay with the intel from Snow Wolf.However, the one who had set off Evangeline's emotional storm was carrying a weight like never before.Trey's challenge was one that always had to be faced.Walter pulled up to the Gordon family's old house, only to find Alex, pushing a wheelchair, steadfast by Trey's side."Alex, it's been ages." He offered a customary greeting to Alex before drawing closer to Trey. "Grandpa, why did you call me back?"Securing a divorce from Evangeline left Walter with mixed feelings of relief and sorrow.Relieved that his showdown with the Bennison family would not drag the Fosters into the fray.However, weighed down by the reality

Trey huffed scornfully. "Bringing this up now is pointless."If Evie could go through with divorcing you, she's definitely over you. That girl's got a stubborn streak, and she wouldn't have walked away unless she was really hurt."Being divorced is for the best. It saves you from messing up someone else's daughter and spares me the embarrassment of facing my old friends in the afterlife!"The more Trey ranted, the angrier he got. When he finally looked up, he saw Walter staring with wide eyes, completely stunned. Trey had been rambling on, but Walter had not reacted at all, which infuriated Trey even more."What's with the bug eyes? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"What Trey did not realize was that his loud tirade could not even snag Walter's attention, who suddenly burst into laughter."Yeah, why would she divorce if she hadn't given up?"His laughter faded as he snapped back to reality and faced Trey. "Grandpa, you and the Foster uncles couldn't be more right—I'm a

Walter could only keep his heartbreak locked away inside, never to be shared with anyone. After all, Evangeline had already said those words.She did not care about the misunderstandings, did not care about the past. She had told him she wanted to be with him, but he was the one who stubbornly pushed her away. What chance did he have for regret at this point?He was the one who had pushed Evangeline away, and at this moment, he was the one filled with regret and pain.However, if enduring that pain meant protecting Evangeline, then it was all worth it.All of a sudden…Knock, knock, knock!Walter snapped back to reality, realizing someone was at his door."Who's there?" He quickly dried his tears, trying to sound normal, but his voice was raspy, giving away his feelings.Through the heavy door, he heard Alex's easygoing voice. "Walter, can you open the door? It's me, your brother Alex."The name Alex was nothing but a bad joke in Walter's world. It was pure, unadulterated ir

Alex barely gave Walter's words a second thought, his laughter growing even more triumphant.As if a thought had just struck him, he said, "Oh, Walter, I nearly forgot to pass on a message from Grandpa."The chairman of Gordon Group has called a shareholders' meeting, and you, as the CEO, have to be there. Don't forget to show up."Trey had not bothered with the company for years, so a sudden meeting like that had to mean something big.A sense of dread weighed heavily on Walter's heart.From Alex's cocky demeanor, it was obvious that whatever was happening was going to work out in his favor.Whatever that advantage might be…Walter's eyes snapped open, and everything was pitch black.Could it be that his relentless convincing had finally paid off, and Grandpa... actually agreed to let Alex run the company?Why at this moment?After all his failed attempts to persuade, just when he was ready to completely shut down any chance of Alex returning to the company, why did Grandpa

However, the shareholder stood his ground, even more emboldened. "Making money for us shareholders is your job as CEO. What else is there to say?"Walter scoffed, about to retort, when Trey cut in."Let's settle down. We've all been in this company for ages. It's not too kind to corner my grandson like this, right?"This decision, though made by Walter alone, affects us all. We rise and fall as one. I'm sure you all grasp the meaning of that."Trey's statement was profound and resonant.The financial hit from Walter's blunder in Southern Crownlands was spread out among all the shareholders. Naturally, the Gordons, who messed up, were on the hook for most of it. However, the shareholders barely made a peep.Gordon Group had been a gold mine for years, and they were loaded. Missing a few bucks from the shareholders was no sweat off their backs.Besides, it was the investors who were really leaning on Gordon Group to turn their investments into big bucks. No way were they going to

The shareholders made their choice swiftly, barely pausing to think.It made sense, though. Under Alex's leadership, the company had never stumbled, and they had all reaped the rewards.Just then, Trey's secretary's voice cut through the silence, firm and official, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new CEO of Gordon Group, Mr. Alex Gordon. Let's welcome him with a round of applause and hear what he has to say!"Alex was decked out in his sharpest suit, looking every bit the part of a guy who knew victory was in the bag.However, the wheelchair was a pain, not getting around that. Without bothering to stand, Alex grabbed the mic from his secretary and excitedly said, "Big thanks to all you shareholders for believing in me. From here on out, I'm all in. We're going to rake in the cash and rocket Gordon Group to new heights! You guys are the best."Alex kept it short and sweet, but his few words were packed with big dreams.Inside, however, he was buzzing with even more en

Walter was a storm of emotions such as bitterness, anger…However, then he thought of Alex, once in his shoes, and he wondered if he had any right to feel that way at all.If Alex had fallen into the abyss by his doing, then who had nudged him toward its edge? Was it his grandfather, who had stubbornly wanted him to inherit the family business, or was it Evangeline, the girl he loved but could not win over?As Walter pondered, the bitterness that once filled his heart mysteriously melted away.He realized that things were unfolding as they should. What was the point of holding onto hate?After all, he had escaped the Gordons' tangled web of troubles, especially the rigged deal with the Southern Crownlands diamond mines. He should be feeling light as a feather.Sometimes, taking a step back gives him a clearer view of the whole landscape.With that new perspective, Walter had an epiphany: he should be grateful for Alex's arrival.Unbeknownst to Walter, David had been reeling fro

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
