All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

Finally, Walter took the reins of the conversation."Playing around on this cruise is getting pretty boring, don't you think? We should spice things up by inviting some friends. And hey,"A spark lit up in Walter's eyes as if he had just had an epic idea."We've got to have Evangeline there. It's my birthday, after all. If my wife skips out, it'll be the talk of the town. David, you've got to make sure she comes, by any means necessary!"Walter's mood had done a complete flip, and Minnie felt the sting of it deep inside.Why did he have to think of Evangeline, of all people, at a time that should be filled with joy?"Walter, are you into Evangeline or something?" Minnie's voice rose with her accusation, "I mentioned a cruise to catch the sunrise, and you couldn't care less. However, bring up Evangeline, and you're all fired up..."She stood up abruptly, her eyes welling up with fresh tears that traced the paths of old ones down her cheeks."If you're into Evangeline, just be st

Evangeline was not just going to Walter's birthday bash to celebrate her almost-ex. She was going to make sure she left with no regrets.She planned to close the chapter regarding all the feelings she had for Walter, believing that with each memory put to rest, her attachment to him would fade away. Quickly, he would be nothing more than a ghost in her past.Hanging up the phone, she went to her secret hideout. It was a cozy studio apartment, nothing fancy, but it was her own little world.Tucked away in an unremarkable neighborhood, the place was simple, yet it had everything she needed. She called it her secret hideout because it was her private sanctuary that no one else knew about.Ever since she started violin lessons with Loberni, music had become her forte. The first song she penned for her bestie Roslyn took the country by storm, and with it, she earned her first big paycheck.Evangeline had always dreamed of a place she could call her own. Thus, she went behind everyone's

Evangeline was in her secret hideout, meticulously dusting off the gift boxes until they shone like new.Satisfied, she tossed the cloth aside and flopped onto the bed, ready to stretch out and unwind. However, the moment she heard the ping of a text message, her relaxation was cut short.A photo of Walter and Minnie, looking far too comfortable with each other, flashed on her screen. Evangeline froze solid.It was one thing to hear rumors, but seeing it in person was a different thing altogether.Evangeline's moment of shock was brief, the strange number on her screen demanded her attention.If Walter had sent the message, he would have used his own phone. This was not Walter, but someone who stood to gain from their breakup.The photo on her screen was provocative, and Minnie's smug face came to mind.Was she bragging? Flaunting that she had snagged Walter and could then proudly stand by his side? Meanwhile, Evangeline, the one who truly belonged there, was stuck hiding away,

Walter was fuming, the kind of anger everyone could feel in the air.Evangeline turned into the third wheel, popping all of Walter's dreamy bubbles. He was so ticked off that he could not even muster the energy to call out Minnie's obviously exaggerated stories.Alex's words were still buzzing in his ears. At that moment, all he wanted to know was whether Evangeline would get the slightest bit jealous over him.If she did, he would drop the act with Minnie in a heartbeat and focus solely on Evangeline and their child, even if it meant losing a crucial tip on the Bennison family, his arch-enemies."Evangeline, it would really bum both me and Minnie out if you weren't there for this big deal, so come on, join us," he said.That answer said it all about where Walter stood.Imagine, a husband and his side-chick all cozy celebrating a birthday, and the real wife was supposed to just show up and cheer them on? What kind of messed-up situation was that?However, Evangeline was not inti

Holden's brow creased with concern, as if he was wrestling with a big decision. Then, he pressed on, "To sniff out this mystery person, we spread some fake news and nabbed a guy named Beck from the file."After we grilled him, Beck spilled that he was just a pawn, with some shadowy figure pulling the strings. Their rendezvous point was—""Sunny Glow Beauty Salon," Evangeline cut in before Holden could finish, nailing the answer.Shockingly, Holden did not deny it but stared at her, utterly taken aback. "Evie, how did you figure it out? I only got wind of it myself a short while ago."Evangeline's face was a tapestry of emotions."I remember the one time I stepped into Sunny Glow Beauty Salon. That was when Walter popped up out of nowhere, like a ghost, and told me to stay away."She could feel it in her bones that Sunny Glow was a maze of secrets.Lydia, the woman who was like a shadow—always slipping through her fingers, a mystery buyer in the black market tracking her every mo
