Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 931
"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.
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 933
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. He

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

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

Walter took the document from the department head. Upon inspecting it, his expression darkened.The department head, terrified of being caught in the fallout of his boss's fury, quickly started rambling, "Seriously, what is this? Gordon Group is already in such a fragile state, and Madam has to announce something like this now? Isn't this just kicking us when we're down?"And now? Those holding back because of the Foster family's influence are free to act. They'll be coming after us with no mercy!"The department head, drenched in sweat, could practically see Gordon Group being carved up by opportunists. He was on the verge of despair.Walter, however, calmly flipped through the materials in his hands, page by page, without showing any urgency or making any decisions."President, surely you're not going to leave me to figure this out again, are you?"The department head was at his wit's end. When he came for instructions the last time, all he got was vague guidance to 'handle it
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 938
The department head raised his face to the ceiling and let out a long, mournful sigh, practically on the verge of tears. "President, when will these days of suffering finally end?"Walter patted the man's shoulder reassuringly. "Soon… maybe in three or so days?" he answered warily. After all, the end of the department head's torment was not something Walter could dictate—it depended entirely on the Bennison family.If David could uncover evidence of collusion between Alex, The Bennex Corporation, and the Bennison family, then the timeline might speed up. If no evidence was found, it would drag on indefinitely, and Walter had no idea when the ordeal would end.Sensing the hesitation in Walter's words, the department head looked at him with tearful eyes and asked, "President, are we really going to make it?"Walter nodded firmly. "Of course. You have to trust me."After watching the department head leave, Emma appeared at Walter's side immediately. "Mr. Gordon, the operations depart

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
