Chapter 661

It was kind of sad, really. Julia's invite for Walter to hang out at Kronovia Royale Pub had somehow ended up in her hands. There they were, not even officially divorced yet, and the whole thing was out in the open.What was Walter thinking? Maybe he finally felt bad, like he actually wanted to make things right.Of course, who ever said no to a little extra cash? If Walter was in a giving mood, Evangeline figured she might as well go with it.She scribbled her name on the bottom of the new divorce papers Walter had whipped up and slid them back into the folder.Then both their names were on it. All she had to do was send the thing off to James, and the big day would be just around the corner.Evangeline plopped down on the bed, staring out the window, but her mind was miles away.Was that really it for her and Walter?It all seemed like some weird dream.Just yesterday, she was the beaming bride, trying to figure out how to get Walter to buckle down and start a family.Then,

Evangeline noticed the bodyguard's lingering concern and tossed him a verbal lifeline. "Relax, if anything goes south, you can point the blame at me."With a conflicted heart, the bodyguard exited Evangeline's room.As he replayed Evangeline's instructions in his head, a shiver of anxiety ran through him.What if things took a turn for the worse? Even if he pinned it all on Evangeline, would that really make a difference?The Foster family members were all about results. They would not let him off easy just because he tried to pass the buck.Unbeknownst to him, Celina noticed his hesitation from her vantage point at the stairwell corner.She had sensed Evangeline's sour mood the moment she laid eyes on that invitation. Thus, when Evangeline asked for some time alone in her room, Celina did not stand in her way.However, her lack of protest did not mean she was not worried, especially not after seeing the bodyguard's troubled exit from Evangeline's room.She decided to approach

Celina was a master at reading people, and she quickly got the bodyguard to reveal his fears.He thought to himself that he had no real connection to the Foster family, who would not hesitate to punish him. However, Celina was different, she was Ms. Evangeline's right hand. The Foster family would likely go easy on her for Evangeline's sake.Why not have an ally to share the blame?Still, he had to set one thing straight."I'll tell you the truth, but you can't let Ms. Evangeline hear about this, okay?"After all, crossing the Foster family or Evangeline was something he could not afford to do.Celina understood where the bodyguard was coming from and gave him a reassuring nod, even giving his shoulder a comforting pat. "Don't worry, since you've spilled the beans to me, we're in this together. If there's trouble, nobody's getting off scot-free. But you know, better safe than sorry. If anything were to happen to Ms. Evangeline, you couldn't handle it alone, could you?"Tell me a

Celina did not wait for the bodyguard to take it. She just slipped it into his pocket."Why are you being so old-fashioned? We've got to play it by ear in situations like this. We can't stop Ms. Evangeline from stepping out, but if the big shots ask and we're clueless about her whereabouts, aren't we in deeper trouble? It might not be the most upright move, but at least we're keeping Ms. Evangeline safe, right?"…In the CEO's office at Gordon Group headquarters.Walter wrapped up his work for the day, his eyes drawn to the invitation on the corner of his desk. The red with gold lettering was impossible to miss.Somehow, Julia's actions had escaped his grip, and she kept pulling stunts that surprised him.The letter was an example. While his people were out there turning over every stone for her, she had the nerve to send an invite right to his doorstep!Well, that worked out. It meant he could stop the wild goose chase.However, he was not about to let Julia keep playing hooky

"Draft up a number that makes sense and shoot it over to me, pronto."Walter was quick to decide, but he did not skip on giving a reason."We've been sitting on this diamond mine deal for ages. If we let it drag out any longer, we'll have sunk too much into it to ever make a decent profit."After all, snagging this deal meant breaking into the jewelry design market, a venture that would cost a pretty penny in the early days."Got it. I'll hustle on my end," replied David, nodding. As the meeting wrapped up, David lingered on the line, something clearly weighing on his mind."Uh... Mr. Walter Gordon, I've got a question..."Walter, already clued into what was coming, did not beat around the bush. "Celina is sticking close to Evangeline, so she's in good hands. However, that's as far as my help goes."Walter recalled when he had tried to smooth things over for David with Celina. She was a tough nut to crack, not even wanting to hear him out. His hands were tied."Understood, unde

The door clicked shut, and Walter was left alone in the suddenly spacious private room.Julia was still a no-show. Walter, without a second thought, reached for the cocktail on the table.Julia could not escape even if she tried. What was there to worry about?It was just a cocktail. Walter could hold his liquor—how bad could it be?He did not gulp it down right away but instead took a moment to inhale the cocktail's refreshing fruity aroma.He had to hand it to the Kronovia Royale Pub's bartender—they knew how to mix a drink with a kick.Without overthinking, Walter took a tentative sip.The strong alcohol vaporized, enhancing the fruit's sweet fragrance to the max, a sensation that hit his taste buds with a delightful punch.Walter could not help but take a generous swig.The drink warmed him from the inside, leaving a subtle sweetness lingering on his lips.Suddenly, the room spun, and a wave of dizziness washed over him, slowly dragging his consciousness under.Through t

She had all the time in the world—no rush.Her fingers danced lightly over Walter's face, boldly tapping his nose.Julia's chuckle floated through the air. "If I don't tie you up, you might bolt. I can't have a repeat of last time, Walt."She was not about to let her prize slip away again.At this point, Julia no longer wanted to talk to Walter. Her focus was then on the waiter still in uniform."Wyatt, you've outdone yourself. Looking for a little bonus?"Wyatt, the boss's right-hand man, never failed to deliver. Whether it was drugging Evangeline or nabbing Walter, he was the man for the job.Julia knew she would better reward him well, or someone with his talents might just walk."Who wouldn't want a reward?" Wyatt's grin was radiant, his eyes locked on Julia, sparkling with unsaid promises."Still, if it's a prize from you, Ms. Rearden, I've got to give it some serious thought."Julia's eyes narrowed just a touch.She was a knockout, with looks that turned heads and a fi

That was the hard truth.Wyatt, standing over Walter, just gave a slight, knowing smile. "Mr. Walter Gordon, being born unwanted is a world of hurt. Did you ever consider if Ms. Evangeline's baby wanted to be part of this world?""You're out of your mind!" Walter was at his breaking point and did not hold back his opinion.Julia chimed in, nodding."You really are crazy! Since when do kids get to decide whether they're born or not?""That's the tragedy of it all," said Wyatt, his voice trailing off as he looked into the distance. "If being born means a life without joy, maybe it's better not to be born at all..."Walter lay there, paralyzed in his bed, straining to hear the echo of Wyatt's sigh fading away.Julia's eyes lingered on Wyatt's stoic face, reading the untold stories behind his unruffled facade. She let out a quiet sigh, just as he snapped out of his reverie. "Ms. Rearden, I've finished the job, so I'm off to get some rest," he said before slipping out the door, which

However, Walter was like a defanged tiger at the moment, and Julia was not scared in the slightest.Seeing his reaction only made her want to laugh more."Aw, did I strike a nerve just by mentioning Evangeline? Did you feel sorry when you sent me off to Northern Montavia, to that brutal place that chews people up and spits them out?"Julia's fingertips trailed down from Walter's chin to rest over his heart. "Walt, you know I've loved you since we were kids. No matter how much you've wronged me, how much you've hurt me, I've never stopped loving you."Out of Walter's line of sight, Julia watched his face with eyes full of wonder and fascination."Let's not bring up the sad stuff, okay?"We've got this whole night to ourselves, thanks to fate. Why don't we make it one to remember?"When she returned to her boss, there was no telling if she would be able to return.Youth did not last forever, and she did not want to live with regrets. That was why she was doing that to Walter.Sa

With those thoughts, Julia's boldness surged.She was no longer content to stand by the bed, merely touching Walter. She was like a predator that had never been satisfied, focused solely on claiming the man before her, on consuming him entirely.Without a second thought, Julia climbed onto the bed and extended her long legs…However, Walter was not one to be underestimated. Even though he was bound, he had quickly adapted and could then control his movements.At that pivotal moment, Walter shifted, and Julia found herself embracing the empty air."Walter, seriously, you're all tied up and still trying to be a hero?" Julia's patience had snapped.She could not believe it. She had the perfect setting, the perfect timing, and not a soul to interrupt, yet she could not get the upper hand over that guy?Her earlier sweetness evaporated in an instant, and she glared at Walter like a predator eyeing its prey, muscles and all."Julia, if you think you can get me to do... that with you,
