Evangeline could sense Roslyn's perfunctory attitude in her actions, but she did not know how to respond. After all, Roslyn's doubts were not entirely baseless.

Alex and Walter shared the same bloodline. Even if their life circumstances differed, how much better could one really be than the other?

As Evangeline wrestled with her mixed feelings, she heard Roslyn continuing her admonitions.

"Anyway, from now on, don't ever say anything to defend Gordon Group again, okay? Do you even realize how much impact your actions have? If Walter manages to whitewash his image in the public eye because of your post, wouldn't that just hand him a huge advantage?"

Roslyn had a fairly good understanding of Gordon Group's troubles. However, with the filter of Walter having hurt Evangeline, she was secretly glad to see the company struggling. In her mind, she hoped it would crash entirely, forcing Walter to face some serious consequences.

After all, he had been born with a silver spoon and lived a l

    Evangeline's lips twitched. She did not even know what to say anymore.Walter held the key evidence that could turn the tide for Gordon Group, but she had been worried about the company's tarnished reputation.

    "What?"Was that it?In such an urgent situation, their plan was to 'take it slow'? The department head could never have anticipated such a laid-back directive.

    Thinking about it, Evangeline felt her heart aching.Things had already gotten this bad. If she said she acted out of good intentions, who would believe her?She forcibly smiled. "No matter my intentions, my actions only made things worse for Gordon Group."Yale, however, did not agree with her conclusion. "Who told you that?"Evangeline shook her head. "No one. I thought of it myself."She irritably ran her fingers through her hair. "I didn't think at all at the time. I just acted impulsively, and now, no matter what I do, it feels wrong..."Seeing that Evangeline was on the verge of breaking down, Yale gently patted her hand in comfort. "Listen to me, this has nothing to do with you!""How could it not? It was my problematic post—" Evangeline's eyes reddened, tears welling up as she sank deeper into her guilt.Yale firmly grasped her shoulders.

    A soft cough broke the silence. Walter, unwilling to wait any longer, spoke with a hint of self-mockery, "I know you don't want to talk to me, nor do you want to hear my voice. If it weren't something important, I wouldn't have called."His explanation struck a chord in Evangeline's heart. She frowned in confusion and said, "If it's important, then just get to the point, okay?"She hated herself for being like this.She had told herself countless times that Walter was nothing more than a stranger, someone completely unrelated to her life.All that, and every single time, her emotions were swayed by his every move, leaving her torn between resentment over her lack of resolve and her inability to stop being affected by him.Walter's words brought Evangeline to the brink of an emotional outburst, reminding him of what David had said, 'Don't worry if a woman gets mad at you. Women only lose their temper over things they care about.'In that case, he should be glad that he still had t

    "You! Y-you shameless rogue!"Evangeline was so flustered that her words came out jumbled.Walter—despite their divorce—still dared to act this way toward her. Whatever he had in mind was neither reasonable nor lawful. If necessary, she could call the police!Walter maintained an expression of pure innocence, feigning confusion. "How am I being shameless? Vivi, I haven't done anything, have I?"His roguish demeanor made Evangeline feel a wave of distaste. Nonetheless, a strange and inexplicable sensation crept into her heart.Walter could feel he was pushing his luck in teasing her. Not wanting to truly anger her, he quickly reined himself in. "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you. The company is fine, and so am I. Don't worry about anything."In truth, Walter's playful banter and many words had a singular purpose: to reassure her heart. He could weather the storms surrounding Gordon Group. As for Evangeline, all she needed to do was stay safe at the Foster family's place and

    As long as this phone number can be traced back to the Bennison family, the series of numbers that appeared on the phone could serve as powerful evidence of Alex colluding with the Bennison family to bring the Gordon Group to ruin.This alone would be enough to convict Alex. The Bennison family's intentions would also crumble into nothingness.Walter had pieced everything together but was even more curious to understand Alex's inner thoughts. He wanted to know what was going through Alex's mind when he placed those two items in the drawer.Was he genuinely exchanging himself for the Gordon Group's safety? What could have caused someone, who once hated the Gordon family to the core, to have a complete change of heart?Walter did not answer the call but jotted down the number and sent it to David, urging him to investigate it as quickly as possible.Meanwhile, whoever it was persistently tried to call as if unwilling to give up until Alex picked up.After three unanswered calls, th

    Evangeline's words caused a flicker of darkness to pass through Hank's eyes. He lowered his gaze slightly before continuing, "I remember that although you and Walter are divorced, you haven't officially announced it, have you?"Evangeline nodded. "Though it hasn't been made public, the news was so widely spread back then that it's no longer a secret."Using the news of her divorce from Walter to further damage Gordon Group's reputation likely would not cause much of a stir.However, Hank shook his head. "Since the words never came from your mouth, no matter how clear the rumors might be, they're still just that—rumors. Nothing definitive."The reason Gordon Group has managed to stay relatively calm amid the storm is because those behind the scenes believe that Gordon Group is still backed by Foster Group. That's why they're hesitating to strike."If they did not act, Walter would not have a better opportunity to counterattack and would be forced to endure the pressure.Hearing th

    With just Evangeline's brief explanation, Hank's mind had crafted a hypothetical plan that aligned with Walter's approach."Evie, I think I've figured out his intentions. If Walter is holding a trump card but isn't rushing to use it, it means he's confident. On this battlefield, he's determined to emerge as the champion."Evangeline nodded. "I think so too, but I still don't understand why he's pushing to expand the negative impact.""Have you ever had a boil?" Hank asked out of nowhere, surprising Evangeline.Were they not discussing business strategy? Why had they suddenly veered into dermatology?"What about boils?" she asked, her eyes widening in confusion.Hank only smiled more warmly. "A boil needs to grow to a certain extent before you can drain the pus completely, ensuring clean healing and faster recovery."If I'm not mistaken, there's likely a mole within Gordon Group. Or maybe there's a powerful force behind The Bennex Corporation secretly orchestrating all of this."
