Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 811
Walter felt an urge to just scream at the sky.What was he even thinking?"Okay, as long as you two are safe, that's what matters. I've got to head over to the Fosters', so I'll catch you later."Walter was about to end the call when…"Hold on!" David cut in, his words tumbling out awkwardly. "Mr. Walter Gordon, I really don't think heading over to the Fosters' is a good idea right now."Walter had made a beeline for the Foster place right after leaving the Gordon Group, obviously to see Evangeline. To lay it all out on the table, to see if there was any chance they could patch things up.The thing was, was Walter too late to make amends with Evangeline?Walter's suspicion bubbled up immediately."Why?"David, recalling the trending news Celina had shown him that morning, was at a loss for words. "Mr. Walter Gordon, you've been swamped lately and probably haven't caught up with the latest buzz, huh? I suggest you check out what's trending before you decide whether to swing by

Everything fell into place. Trey had not anticipated such a stroke of luck, as if the pieces had fallen together by his own design.Just then, the Gordon Group's freshly minted CEO, Alex, rolled into Trey's office in a wheelchair, with Carl, his document-wielding sidekick, in tow."Mr. Gordon, I've got something to report."Trey was a stickler for keeping work and personal life separate. Family ties meant nothing there. In the office, it was strictly business.Trey shot Carl a look and gestured dismissively. "Leave it."Message received: Alex could stay, Carl had to go.With a nod from Alex, Carl exited, carefully shutting the door behind him.Alex did not miss a beat and dove into his briefing."Mr. Gordon, here's everything on the Southern Crownlands diamond mine case. Walter's already signed off on the old contract. What's our next move?"They could either stick to the contract to the letter or challenge its legitimacy.However, one thing was crystal clear: Trey, the chair

However, Trey was the last person to get caught up in emotions."Alright, from now on... just do a good job."He gave Alex a reassuring pat on the shoulder and walked out of the chairman's office.Why hand the company over to Alex? Trey wrestled with that question all night and finally found his answer.He always felt guilty about kicking Alex out of the company. Walter's half-hearted management only deepened his guilt over breaking his promise.Besides, he had seen all too clearly how Walter had been faring since his divorce from Evangeline.Walter knew the score. If he bailed on Gordon Group, his next move was a no-brainer: head straight to the Fosters and get Evangeline back.He was totally smitten with her.Walter, however, was not playing the same game.Trey never planned for things to go down like that, but the crazy turn of events left him no choice.With the company's business all squared away, it was just a matter of time before Walter and Evangeline's happy news hit

Evangeline felt her eyes burn with fury as she scrambled to devise a way to clear the rumors.Evangeline zoomed in on the photo on her phone, a snapshot that had set the rumor mill ablaze about her and Alex.It was only when she recognized the backdrop that she remembered everything.She had slipped out to meet Alex, and that's when he had poured out his heart to her, his fingers brushing hers in a moment of confession.The photo was legitimate with no editing.However, the angle was perfect, capturing the way she gazed at Alex, eyes brimming with unspoken words.Whoever snapped that shot had to be lurking inside the cafe.What kind of sneaky photographer could snag a seat so close to them and snap a picture so boldly? Piecing together the clues, there was only one answer: Alex had orchestrated that whole setup. He must have given the green light for that photograph opportunity to go off flawlessly.She felt like a fool, having swallowed every word Alex said, even worrying abou

At this point, Evangeline could not hold back anymore. She was out of patience to wait for Alex to admit it himself."You had someone take those photos, didn't you? And that buzz on social media. You orchestrated that too, right?"The silence on the other end of the line said it all. Evangeline did not need to hear his voice to know the truth."Alex, do you actually like me?"A sudden wave of sadness overwhelmed her, and she could not stop the tears. The one person she trusted most had played her, all in the name of love? How could she have been subjected to something so vile?"You're in love with yourself, aren't you?" She did not wait for Alex to respond, already sure of her answer."No, Evie, it's you I'm into, I love you!"Alex's voice was thick with emotion, almost breaking. His feelings for Evangeline had always been pure and true. How could she question them?"Do you have any idea how much I've sacrificed for you? Do you have any clue about the nights I've endured, the h

"Even if you're right, what's it to you? Evie, you're cornered with nowhere to go but into my arms."Alex gloated.He had meticulously cut off every possible escape for Evangeline before he even set his plan in motion. She had no choice but to watch as his scheme played out!After all, a woman who had been married to his brother, then rumored to be involved with him, would be a scandal in any family. For a woman who was divorced, it was downright devastating.The only way for Evangeline to save herself and protect her company was to agree to be with him.He was so sure of himself because he knew Evangeline was smart enough to recognize the best option when she saw it.When Evangeline caught on to his game, her face turned ghostly white with fury. "Alex, how could I have been so blind to your sleaziness?!"She regretted ever thinking of Alex as a confidant, a true friend who she could confide in. She even went out of her way to buy him a birthday present when she knew he was not

Evangeline could not bear to think about it. Then, as if a switch had flipped, she grabbed her phone and dialed Yale's number."Uncle Yale, I need to know where Walter is. Now. Immediately!"Her voice was laced with urgency, a tone that brooked no argument.Yale was puzzled. Evangeline had finally stepped out of Walter's shadow, so why was she suddenly so desperate to track him down?"I'll get someone on it right away, Evie. Though... Why do you need to know?"Evangeline had cut ties with Walter after their divorce, leaving no reason for her to worry about him. However, Yale had no idea that the question he asked was exactly what Evangeline feared most.Her heart was heavy with concern for Walter.Years of love had turned caring for him into something instinctive, something carved deep into her very being.Despite the public humiliation and the way he had dragged her pride through the mud, the pride of being the Foster family's darling, she could not stop her heart from aching

Yale's heart softened as he took in the mix of hurt and annoyance in his beloved girlfriend's eyes.He wrapped an arm around Roslyn's delicate shoulders, the tension draining from him as he propped his chin on her shoulder. "Are you still mad? Please, let's make up."He understood the root of Roslyn's anger.They had chosen to be together, but the age gap left Roslyn feeling insecure.Evangeline had just gone through a divorce, and Roslyn did not want to rub salt in her wounds, so they agreed to delay their wedding.However, there was one thing they could not wait for—starting a family.Yale was fit for his age, but they needed to start planning for a baby to put Roslyn's mind at ease. Giving up smoking was step one."Does it really matter to you if I'm angry?" Roslyn shot back, her words hitting Yale like a punch to the chest.Yale's stubbornness was to blame. He had insisted on treating Roslyn like she was on the same level as Evangeline, and he had gone about it in such an e

Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 892
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
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 891
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
