Yale made his decision almost instantly. "Alright, we'll help Walter. How exactly we help is up to you to figure out. I'll have people carry it out."

With Yale's promise, the weight on Evangeline's heart lightened significantly.

Nonetheless, at a time like this, even a casual 'stay strong' comment from her could be twisted into a weapon against Gordon Group. What could she do to restore the company's reputation?

Seeing Evangeline deep in thought, Yale left her space, quietly stepping out of the room.

Evangeline sat on the bed, racking her brain. She thought of several ideas, but her courage, already worn thin by the fallout of this situation, crushed them before they could take shape.

What could she do? What could she do?

Evangeline deeply regretted her impulsive decision to post that message.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

Startled, she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the screen. Walter's name flashed across the screen.

Why was he calling? Was he going to confront her

    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

    Perhaps this was the moment Walter had been waiting for?Evangeline could not help but wonder. However, she did not realize that her thoughts, attention, and focus had all unconsciously centered on Walter.She suddenly recalled Walter's words.'If you want to help me, do anything in your power to amplify the negative impact that The Bennex Corporation caused to Gordon Group.'That sort of task seemed more suited to Hank's expertise… but ever since she rejected Hank's advances last time, they had not contacted each other. If she called him out of the blue, would it be awkward?What Evangeline did not know was that Hank was already waiting in the living room on the first floor of the villa. He assumed Evangeline was still asleep and declined the housekeeper's offer to notify her. He chose to wait downstairs instead.Eventually, the housekeeper, unable to ignore it any longer, cautiously knocked on Evangeline's door. "Miss, are you awake?"Evangeline quickly responded, "I'm awake.

    These words gave Evangeline the boost of courage she needed.Taking a deep breath, though still slightly uneasy, she asked, "Are you aware of the current situation with Gordon Group?"Hank immediately displayed a look of understanding.Evangeline had always been bold and straightforward except when it came to Walter. He was like her destined nemesis—everything turned unusual whenever he was involved."You want me to leverage Foster Group's reputation to help him?"Gordon Group's reputation had suffered significant damage. For Foster Group to assist Gordon Group, it would have to risk its own reputation to repair Gordon Group's crumbling public image.In his view, such an act was akin to cutting off one's flesh to patch up a sore. As a shrewd and capable businessman, he would never entertain such an idea.Noticing Evangeline's subdued expression, Hank knew he had guessed right.By rights, Evangeline, as the future heir and actual decision-maker of Foster Group, outranked him.

    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."

    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

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.

    "Don't bother returning if you can't make Walter come home tonight, Evangeline!"It was New Year's Eve.Every home was aglow, families embracing the joy of togetherness. Evangeline Rearden, however, was excluded from the glee. She raced her heavy motorcycle down Jetty Road, cutting through the biting cold wind on a mission to expose Walter's infidelity aboard a cruise ship.The whole city buzzed with the news that her stay-away husband, Walter Gordon, has splurged on a cruise for his mistress, complete with a fireworks display.Still ringing in her ears was the harsh ultimatum her mother-in-law, Aria Jones, delivered at the Gordon family's New Year's Eve feast."Evangeline, Walter is so averse to seeing you that he hasn't come home for the holidays in years! You're just warming the bench. If you can't give us a Gordon heir, call it quits early. Step aside and let a more fertile woman take your place as Mrs. Walter Gordon."Three years into their marriage, all Evangeline could thi

    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.
