Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 834
In the sleek office of the Gordon Group's president.Alex was by the window in his wheelchair, gazing down at the bustling traffic below, the thrill inside him too intense for words.Emma, clutching a stack of papers, placed them on the desk with utmost care. "Welcome back, Mr. Alex Gordon."She was one of the seasoned professionals at Gordon Group, a die-hard fan of Alex.That was why when Alex reached out for help, she jumped at the chance to be there for him. Seeing the sparkle in Alex's eyes, Emma's joy for him was from the heart.However, mingled with the joy was a twinge of sadness. After all, Alex's legs had not healed."Thank you."Right then, nothing could top the warmth of that welcome.Alex turned from the window to face Emma, not bothering to move the wheelchair.With a burst of strength from his arms and legs, he rose to his feet as Emma watched on, astonished.Without leaning on the wheelchair, Alex stood tall and took slow steps forward. One step at a time, he

Emma's tension eased only after she caught the secretary's sly grin and heard her question."Out with it, what do you need?"The secretary snapped back to business, her face taking on a stern expression. "We've got a visitor at the reception desk asking to see Mr. Alex Gordon in the CEO's office."Emma raised an eyebrow. "Since when can people just demand to see Mr. Alex Gordon? And in the office, no less. Why can't they follow the usual procedures? What's the big deal?"Did they need to make a fuss over something so minor all the way up to the CEO's office?To Emma's surprise, the secretary's head shook like a bobblehead. "Emma, this is someone we can't afford to mess with. He's the former Mr. Walter Gordon, Alex's brother, Walter Gordon!"Walter had been the big shot at Gordon Group. Who could stand up to him?Even though he was no longer with the company, his legacy lingered. Who would have dared cross him?Emma grasped the gravity of the situation in an instant.If it was

Alex sounded nonchalant, but his mind was racing with contrary thoughts.Trey had laid down the law: once Walter was out of the picture, every issue Gordon Group faced—for better or worse—was his to deal with.On one hand, it was his chance to assert his dominance in the company and really plant his feet firmly on the ground. On the other, it was an opportunity to shake off the lingering trust in Walter.Ever since he took the reins, the thorn in his side had been the diamond debacle in Southern Crownlands.Back when he and Walter were partners, Alex was too busy pointing fingers at Walter's blunders to bother with the fine print of their contracts.At this point, he was calling the shots. If he had let the Southern Crownlands contract run its course as it was, he would have had Trey breathing down his neck before the shareholders even caught wind of any trouble.As for Southern Crownlands? They had snagged a sweet deal and were not about to let go without a fight. Despite all th

"What do we do? Just send it off!"Walter had left those packages to throw off any suspicion, which meant they were probably clean.If Alex checked them, he would look like the worst kind of penny-pincher, fussing over his younger brother picking up a few things.Walter had managed to clear his name and pin the postal duties on Alex, a slick move indeed.Alex, stuck with a raw deal, had no choice but to suck it up in silence.Little did Alex know, Walter had cleared out all the bedding and blankets from the break room to make up those packages. It was all a ruse to keep Alex's eyes off the real prize.The only thing Walter actually took from the office was one item, and nothing else mattered.…Meanwhile, Celina's escape plan was heating up. David came through and got a plane ready right on Celina's schedule. However, that plane was not for them. It was for someone else entirely—a person bundled up tight and hooked to an oxygen pump, surrounded by a protective circle as they bo

Celina's eyes lit up with a 'teachable moment' kind of pride.Their history of being on opposite sides had taught her to hold back, to let David connect the dots himself. He never failed to catch the hints she dropped, a silent dance of understanding between them.That thought brought a smile to Celina's face.Meanwhile, David was deep in thought.After he had handed in his notice, he had kept tabs on Gordon Group's official site and the grapevine.Being the president's right-hand man was not a small deal, especially not for someone who had been in Walter's inner circle for years.So, when Alex gave the nod to his resignation, it was supposed to be big news, shared with everyone. However, days had passed, and there was nothing but silence on the inside.It was clear evidence that Alex had not blabbed yet.Somehow, the Bennison family got wind of the secret he had kept…In that instant, David felt a jolt of certainty.Alex was the mole!As David's mind raced, Celina's eyes sn

"Celina, you've got to run, or it'll be too late!""But you're hurt..." Celina, who hardly ever cried, was then a waterfall of tears. "No, I can't go on without you! David, we'll go out together!"She held onto David's arm for dear life."No... you can't!"David was already weak from the chest wound, and Celina's grip was draining what little strength he had left."Celina, I've got you this time. I'll always be your hero! I... I'd die happy knowing that!"Get out of here, now! Run! If you don't... If you don't, my sacrifice means nothing!""No, David! You can't leave me behind again. After finally stepping up to save me, you can't just... you can't!"The man in black was closing in fast, and they were running out of time.David yelled with all his might, "Run, Celina! Hurry!"Celina was stubborn, but then she saw the business end of a gun staring her in the face.It was the man in black, all decked out in a tight outfit, his face hidden except for his eyes."If you won't le

Thanks to the medical team's quick action, David was soon out of danger.However, the ship's medical gear was pretty basic, so they planned to give him a thorough check-up once they were back on dry land.Since the surgery, Celina, David's girlfriend, had been a constant presence by his side, keeping vigil day and night.The instant the bullet hit his chest, a wave of terror over David's near-death experience crashed over Celina. Even with the knowledge that David was out of danger, the memory alone was enough to send shivers down her spine.As she softly held David's hand, a faint but comforting smile spread across her face.She was grateful to the stars above for sparing David's life. She was thankful that David chose to remain by her side.At that moment, all the old grudges seemed to melt away, like mist in the morning sun.Thinking back to that life-or-death moment, Celina's heart was filled with an aching tenderness.She had been upset that David had not seemed to care en

"Are we... safe now?" David's voice was tinged with disbelief as his eyes fluttered open.Celina's worried face was the first thing he saw."You okay?"He clutched her hand, eyes wide, as if he needed to check her over to be sure she was really all right.Celina nodded hard. "I'm fine, we're both fine!""Thank goodness you're fine."David finally relaxed, his mind slowly piecing together the memories before everything went black."Yeah, I remember now, we were in trouble, and then there was a gunshot… Someone saved us, didn't they?"As Celina nodded, David felt a wave of gratitude. To think that in a foreign land, someone had the courage to pull them from the jaws of danger."Who was it? We need to find them and say thanks."Celina looked lost for a moment. "I don't know who it was. You were bleeding everywhere, and Ms. Evangeline's people came to get us. It was all so rushed, I didn't see..."Her voice trailed off as she remembered the slender silhouette.That figure…A f

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
