Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 291 - Bab 300

Alex shook off the spell of the music, dropped his hands, and let his heart do the talking."Evie, the music world is missing out big time without you playing the violin."Evangeline packed up her violin, which she had just finished tuning, and shrugged off the compliment. "The music world is full of what-ifs, and I'm not that big of a deal. Alex, if you keep this up, I'm going to feel outclassed..."Sometimes, Evangeline was amazed by the quirks of destiny.Alex and Walter had a similar face, yet she could always spot the difference between them with ease.Looking at Alex, she wondered how she would feel if Walter were the one in the audience, clapping for her. She would probably be over the moon.How silly.Evangeline suppressed a smirk and pushed those weird thoughts to the back of her mind.Just then, a phone's ringing cut through the silence of the classroom. It took a moment for Evangeline to realize it was Walter on the line.What was his deal? Was he not supposed to be

Walter looked nothing like his usual refined self, instead resembling a hulking brute with more brawn than brains.Alex was momentarily speechless, baffled by the confrontation.Evangeline, however, did not miss a beat. She casually crossed her legs with poise and called out, "Walter, I'm right here."She even gave him a playful wave of her finger as she spoke."What's the big idea, showing up here in the middle of the night, yelling and pounding on the door? What's your deal?"Walter's face turned stormy in an instant, and he glared at Evangeline with a menacing scowl. "You're asking what I'm doing? You really have no clue?"His gaze narrowed dangerously, a threatening glint flashing in his eyes.He had never seen Evangeline's outfit before. So, not only had she not come home tonight, but she had also changed her clothes for her visit to Alex's place?Walter's anger blazed like wildfire, and he turned his furious glare onto Alex."What did you do to Evangeline?"Alex's heart

Evangeline could barely make out Walter's profile in the dim light by the roadside. "So, you think you can treat me this way just because you're angry?"Walter, what do you think I am? Some kind of pleasure device?"Evangeline's voice thundered in the cramped car, shaking Walter to his core. She wrenched herself from his grip and fixed her clothes right in front of him.At that moment, she was not just Walter's wife. She was the untouchable, golden girl of the Foster family, and she would not stand for this treatment from any man! Her clothes were the last shred of dignity she clung to in Walter's presence."Walter, this is goodbye!" She meant they were done for good.Walter's ears rang with the slam of the car door, leaving him in a silence so deep he could hear his own heart breaking. He looked around the empty car, feeling a hollow echo inside himself. His undone belt and pants were a silent testament to his recent actions.In a moment of self-loathing, Walter slapped himself

Evangeline and Alex traded stories, each one making them laugh more than the last.Meanwhile, Walter was in a rough spot. He was gutted when he realized Evangeline blocked him.Alone, he headed back to Crystal Waters House, only to find that Evangeline had not returned, which sent him into a tailspin.Evangeline was gone, and it looked like she might not come back at all.That just could not happen.He had to see her... he had to make her listen to his side of the story!Where could Evangeline have gone? If she was not at Crystal Waters House, where else would she be?Cole was sick. Even if she was mad at him, she would not just skip out on visiting Cole, would she?Walter felt like he had a lead. He willed himself to sleep and recharge, determined to head over to Cole's to track down Evangeline.Nonetheless, Evangeline's determined eyes haunted him, and he tossed and turned all night. With dark bags under his eyes, he got up at the crack of dawn and made his way to the Foster

Walter did not care if he threw James off his schedule. He planted himself in front of James's car, stubborn as a mule."Walter, when did you sign up for security duty?" asked James sarcastically, stepping out of his car with a sigh. "If you're going to play watchdog, shouldn't you be on your own turf? What's the deal with camping out at my place?"The Fosters had a top-notch security setup. The second Walter took up his post, James got the heads-up from his bodyguards. He knew exactly why Walter was there, even if he pretended otherwise.James had figured the high-and-mighty young master would crack after getting the cold shoulder from the Foster clan and beat a hasty retreat. Walter was full of surprises, though, holding his ground for two days without budging an inch.James had to step in, worried that the ruckus might tip Cole off to something being amiss. It was time to confront Walter head-on.Walter could easily pick up on the sarcasm in James' words, but he had bigger fish
