All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 301 - Chapter 310

Walter had just put the final flourish on a contract when he grabbed the list of new names and flipped to the end to sign off. As his pen danced across the page, he shot a question over his shoulder."So, how many fresh faces are joining us as interns? Got any standouts?" Walter asked.David, who had been Walter's right-hand man for years, knew what he meant. He had the information ready, just waiting for the cue. "We've got five new interns this year. One is a real jack-of-all-trades and shines bright in the bunch. You know we've got that gap in the secretarial pool? HR is buzzing about grooming this star. If they catch your eye, boss, they're in."The HR chief was one of Trey's crew, an unbiased man who acted lawfully and abidingly. That was why, when Walter was removing Trey's people from the group, he kept this gem on board.Walter's eyebrow raised. "Impressing that old coot is no walk in the park. Who's the kid?"He fanned out the employee files he had, looking for a clue, bu

"No, not at all." Evangeline laughed it off, but it was clear she was faking it.How could she admit the humiliating thing Walter had done to her?"Just pretend I'm really tired lately and need a serious break." Evangeline grabbed a throw pillow and, pretending to play with it, used it to hide her face.Roslyn saw right through this act of evasion and felt her anger melt away, leaving only a deep concern for Evangeline. "You can rest any way you want, but you have to talk about what's going on so we can back you up, okay?""I... don't want to fight back anymore." Evangeline's gaze fell, filled with sadness.She just wanted to cut Walter out of her life for good. Alas, she knew that was a pipe dream.She had promised Cole she would make it work with Walter and have a child. How could she let him down?Hiding away was just... a temporary escape."That's not going to work."Roslyn's fists tightened with fury. Her best friend Evangeline was being tormented by a lowlife. Was she su

Truth be told, the whole prayer thing was just an excuse to get out and clear their heads from all this drama."Deal! If I can score a better match, I'll ditch this crush. It's not like there's a guy shortage, right? Why should I, Roslyn, get stuck on just one dude?"The girls were on the same page in a heartbeat. They just needed to find the right time.Roslyn's phone buzzed, and with a single glance, her bubbly expression tanked."Evie, my agent's dumped more work on me, that absolute nightmare. I'm on set every day, barely sleeping four or five hours. Isn't that tough enough? I've had it; I'm going to ask the company for a new agent!"Just talking about her agent got Roslyn irritated.Evangeline was no stranger to the drama. Whenever Roslyn got mad, she would threaten to fire her agent, but she never actually went through with it. They would have their little spats, but before it was realized, they were back to being the dynamic duo at work. That was why Evangeline did not bot

The sound of someone clapping broke the silence once the song ended, making Evangeline's heart skip a beat.She turned and was startled to see who it was."Uncle Yale? What are you doing here?" she asked, her eyes wide with surprise.Yale stopped clapping and walked into her room with a smile. "I'm here to check on you."Evangeline's face had gotten so thin over the past few days that it was like all her health had just vanished. It was all Walter's fault, that jerk!Yale was seething inside, but he cared too much about Evangeline to let his anger show."Uncle Yale, have a seat." Evangeline gestured for her uncle to sit on the living room couch, then she tucked her violin away."How's everything been? Holding up okay?" Yale asked.Just a few days before, Evangeline had shown up out of the blue at the old Foster family place, looking for some alone time. She told Yale in secret that she needed a break. Yes, the company had Hank, the ever-reliable CEO, but sometimes, it still nee

Yale's solid argument made a lot of sense, but Evangeline was not buying it.She was the darling of the Foster family, fully aware of Yale's influence and abilities. Yale had a laundry list of reasons, even playing the guilt card about harming some poor girl, but he missed the mark.If Yale was dead set on marrying a woman, he would not let her be in any danger, would he? The bottom line was that he just did not want to do it!"Well, Uncle Yale, you've got a point." Evangeline nodded, looking pensive, and Yale saw a sliver of hope for escape."Your other four uncles are around the same age, less complicated, and without my long list of enemies. Helping them find partners would be really helpful..."Yale knew he was shifting the attention to his brothers, but he did not feel the slightest bit guilty about it. As long as he could slip out of Evangeline's grip, he would hand over his four little brothers on a silver platter without a second thought.However…Evangeline's hand shot
