All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

Sadly, it was all just a daydream, something that just could not happen. Her so-called engagement to Walter was a sham, and their child was never going to have the whole family picture.Walter had only agreed to this baby-making business to put on a show for Cole. With the baby finally on the way, carrying the blood of both the Gordon and Foster clans, there were some serious talks that needed to happen, and fast.However, the first flutters of pregnancy had started hitting her. The second her head hit the pillow, sleepiness swamped her. She had to fight to not just fall asleep then and there. She was waiting for Walter to show.What she did not know was that Walter, out in the living room, was waiting on her too. They were both on standby for different reasons. She was waiting for him to walk through the door. He was waiting for her to invite him in.After remembering what the doctor had said and thinking about how he was feeling, Walter smartly took an icy shower and then, like a

The Foster and Gordon families were still intertwined in business, and Evangeline would have to face Walter sooner or later. A total war with Walter would help no one.However, with him pushing her, she was done with the lies."Bravo, Evangeline. You're just fantastic," said Walter through clenched teeth, sarcastically giving her a thumbs-up.Evangeline had hoped that having a child might change everything between them, a wishful dream that felt so right."I've been trying to figure something out. Why are you in such a rush to cut me loose? Is it because of Alex?"He could not think of any other reason that would drive Evangeline to make such a choice.Were children not supposed to be everything to a mom? So why could Evangeline, with his baby on the way, hit him with words so cold?Evangeline sighed deeply, her voice tinged with resignation as she replied, "We're on our way to a divorce. Why keep this up?"She could not fathom why Walter kept dragging Alex into their mess.No

As if David would stick around Walter's side at a time like this. What was he, looking for trouble? No way he wanted to end up like that other assistant, getting chewed out until he was a blubbering mess!"Wait a second."Walter's eyebrows arched like the blade of a sword, his piercing eyes locking onto David. "David, remind me, what's your role again? I seem to have a bit of a memory lapse."David eyed Walter warily.Could a bout of anger reduce cognitive abilities? No, definitely not. Thus, this loaded question from Walter had to have a hidden agenda.If he could not grasp the underlying message, all he could do was... give a straight answer."I'm here to assist you with whatever you need, sir.""Good." His response was sharp and clear, no beating around the bush.Walter shot him an approving look, a rare smile playing at the corners of his usually stern lips.'Question answered. Can I get out of here now?' thought David.He gazed at Walter hopefully while his inner self wa

Since David's departure, Walter had been a workhorse, barely looking up from his desk. He picked up a report, gave it a quick once-over, and nodded in approval. All the while, Minnie stood there, invisible to him.Everyone was working at lightning speed, not just to get their tasks done, but because it gave them a chance to rub elbows with the big boss during document drop-offs."Thanks," said Minnie, her voice dripping with respect.She was the only one who could leave the CEO's office without a lecture. Anyone else would be walking on air.However, Minnie, who had been waiting forever for a moment with Walter, could not be content with just a brief exchange."Anything else you need? I can relay the message, save you the trouble of a call."Small talk was Minnie's superpower. She was so bold because she was convinced Walter looked distant just because he had not realized she was the one visiting.If he just glanced up and saw her, she was sure he would invite her to stay for a

There was a brief pause on the line, then the answer came. "No trouble. They just aren't a thing anymore."'They aren't a thing anymore…'By the time it sank in for Minnie, all she heard was the dial tone echoing in her ear.Evangeline's ties with Walter were history. Was it not her time to shine?…At the Emerald of the Highlands villa, Evangeline lounged on the couch, her ears twitching.She rubbed her achy, puffy nose and grumbled, "I bet someone's bad-mouthing me. It's not Walter, is it?"His name popped out before she could stop it, giving her a jolt as it echoed in her ears.Had she not sworn off anything to do with Walter? Why was his name still on the tip of her tongue?'Get it together, Evangeline,' she chided herself.With her thoughts a jumbled mess, she could not focus on the magazine anymore. She tossed it aside and munched on the fruit Julieta had sliced up.Keeping stress-free and rested was key during pregnancy.That was why Evangeline had smartly hired a nu
