Chapter 641

How could Evangeline dare to wear that bracelet, a symbol of her place in the Gordon family, if she was not truly one of them?Ever since that day, Trey seemingly disappeared, not a word or a whisper from him. However, out of the blue, he called on this day.Could it have something to do with Aria?She could brush off Aria, but Trey's call was a different story.Even if Evangeline disregarded the relationship between the two families, out of respect for her grandfather, she could not treat Trey the same way she did Aria.Just then, the persistent ringtone cut off.Trey, who had been calling for ages with no answer, finally gave up.Evangeline held her phone tightly, took a deep breath, and called him back."Mr. Gordon..."For some reason, saying his name after so long opened the floodgates, and she was swamped with a wave of emotion."Evie, what's the matter? Did Walter get on your nerves again?"Trey had only called because he was worried about her, but hearing the sniffles

Less than a week had passed, and she was already done with her tasks.She was meant to go back to her boss right away, as per their deal.However, every time she pictured Walter's dashing face, she just could not bring herself to leave.Why did she have to fall so hard for someone and not even get a shot at being with him?She would be content with just one wild, fiery moment with him—no regrets, for the rest of her days.Right then, her laptop dinged with a video call request. The caller's shadowy avatar blinked on the screen, unnoticed by Julia, who was away from her computer. However, the sound caught her attention.Julia peered at the message on her screen, her gaze sharpening. She composed herself, managing to craft a sweet smile before accepting the call."Dear, aren't you busy today?" she asked, peeking at the time on her computer, which showed it was work hours on the other s

If she pushed her luck, he would get mad. His anger only meant there was hell to pay."Come on, you get it, right? This is my hometown. If I go back to you, coming back here won't be easy. So, how about I stay just one more week, please?"She pleaded softly, making sure to back up her request with solid reasons."Besides, I'm not even late. I'm sticking to the schedule we set before."She did her best to sound sweet and accommodating, but his response was curt."No way."Those two words knotted Julia's brow, but she could not let her frustration show. In a flash, she put on her most charming, innocent smile."Come on, it's just a tiny delay of a week. Plus, I've wrapped up everything I wanted to do here. However, if I leave now, I've got to pass on my work to someone else. There's got to be a proper handover, right?"He hesitated, showing a glimmer of willingness to discuss."Look, once I'm back, I'll be with you every day. You'll be so sick of me, you won't be able to shake m

When the waiter returned, he brought a fancy coffee set.The room was quickly filled with the rich scent of coffee, mingling with the earthy fragrance of aged Gold Standard Colombia Coffee, making the air delightfully aromatic.Even Julia, no coffee connoisseur, found herself sniffing the air, drawn to the inviting smell.The waiter, with great reverence, placed the coffee cup before Julia and asked, "Ms. Rearden, would you like to order anything?"Julia recalled the menu she had briefly skimmed and shook her head. "No, let's wait for him to get here before we order."With the waiter gone, Julia's unease vanished, and she stood up to pace the room.She had not expected the reclusive man to agree to a meeting, and to choose such an... extravagant place at that.It was her first time there, and she was clueless about the cost of dining in such an establishment.However, a quick look at the menu told her that even a simple meal could set a person back an astonishing 15 thousand do

Alex broke the silence, diving straight into the question that had been nagging him at Julia.Julia eyed him warily, but Alex got to the point immediately."It's not every day we get to chat like this. Once you head back to the boss, coming back won't be a walk in the park. Think of this as a little send-off.""That's it?" Julia's voice was laced with skepticism.She and Alex were just leaders and employees, nothing more. Their usual chit-chat did not warrant a goodbye dinner at a place like that."Nope, there's more," said Alex instantly. "I've got to ask you something face-to-face, no beating around the bush."Be honest, Julia. Did you have a hand in Evangeline's miscarriage?"Alex was thanking his lucky stars he had men stationed close to Trey. Without them, he would be in the dark about what happened to Evangeline.With Julia's cover blown, Alex had to play it casually to avoid suspicion, all while secretly pulling some strings on the side.Just when he thought he could re

Nothing mattered more to Alex than Evangeline, especially her well-being.He had moved mountains in secret just to be with her. If her health failed, how could they hope to spend a lifetime together?The child, carrying Walter's blood, should have been his nephew. However, then, as a father figure, Alex did not bat an eye…"You think I'm just making up excuses? I've got to admit, I'm a little jealous of Evangeline. She's found someone who loves her so deeply. She's incredibly lucky."Julia's heart ached with the thought. If only Walter could show her a fraction of the devotion Alex showed Evangeline, she would gladly give him everything. Alas, it was all just a pipe dream.Her dreams lay in pieces, so how could she stand by and watch Alex cling to his?"Alex, you might be indifferent about Evangeline's baby now, but what about later? That kid, born from her and your brother, will be a living reminder, every single day, of their betrayal. You might hold it together for a year, but

She did not need to spell out what she meant by 'restoration'. Alex immediately understood, and his face twisted with a mix of emotions."You know the deal. If I go back to the boss and I'm still... intact, it'll be a big problem. So I need someone to help me out with that...""And you picked Walter for this?" Alex was still trying to wrap his head around her choice, even though he had seen it coming.Although Alex had guessed Julia's answer, he was still incredulous about her choice. After all, he had seen Walter humiliating Julia in that abandoned warehouse. In a moment like that, Julia actually wanted to become intimate with Walter. What could Alex even say?She was acting like it was her right, too."Well, obviously. Walter can't stand my body, but he still claimed it and made sure Evangeline saw the whole thing... So, who's really getting under whose skin here?"Just picturing that moment, imagining the look on Evangeline's face, sent a thrill through Julia."One thing's fo

Alex, on the other hand, clenched his jaw and, with a resentful glance, reluctantly followed Julia's lead, picking up his spoon to eat.Julia's cigarette was almost out, and as the smoke danced around the room, Alex felt a wave of irritation wash over him for no good reason.He got up and cracked open the door to their private room, but for some reason, he did not swing it all the way open, just enough to peek through.Unbeknownst to him, down the hall, two sharply dressed men were huddled by the door, whispering."Did you get the scoop? When is Mr. Walter Gordon going to show up? We've been twiddling our thumbs for half an hour. The Gordon Group's folks can't possibly be this late, can they?"The one talking was Yestin Zeller, the head honcho of Bennex Medical Equipment. Ever since he started his company, he had not put up with that kind of disrespect.Jeff Bradford, Yestin's assistant, was quick to calm his boss. "Mr. Zeller, chill out. Our staff worked their tails off to set u

A quick peek through the slim door crack revealed Julia's sly, side-smile.What was Julia doing there? Who was she talking to?Unbeknownst to Walter, during the brief moment he stood there, his glossy dress shoes had drawn Alex's gaze.As Julia babbled on, Alex was already hatching a plan.It did not matter who was outside; he could not keep this up with Julia. The risk of his identity being exposed and the fallout that would follow was something he could not handle.Meanwhile, Walter, having recognized Julia's voice, was sure of who she was. The female executive, noticing Walter's hesitation, was about to say something but caught his signal to be quiet and go.She entered the private room they had booked with Bennex Corporation, leaving Walter alone at the door, eavesdropping on the chatter inside.The server, who initially wanted to stop Walter, paused, only to be whisked away by the manager for another task.Inside, Julia was savoring the spread before her when she suddenly

That was pretty much what Walter did. He pinned Julia's unruly hands above her head with one hand, while his other hand was dangerously close to her neck.Julia felt the bad vibes rolling off Walter and was not about to let him do whatever he wanted. She fought back with everything she had.They were locked in a silent battle when suddenly, an awkward cough broke through from behind them."Sorry, can you guys move?"The voice was sweet and refined, but entirely calm altogether.Walter recognized that voice instantly and turned to see a face he knew all too well, freezing him in his tracks."Evangeline..."Evangeline rubbed her forehead and pointed ahead. "Um... Really sorry to butt in, but I need to get to the restroom. Could you let me by, please?"She felt bad for interrupting, but she could not fight it if she needed to go to the toilet. She would not be standing there waiting if it was not urgent.Without thinking, Walter let go of Julia and moved aside. However, Julia was
