All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 671 - Chapter 680

As she spoke, Julia's cheeks flushed with a coy embarrassment that did not quite mask her indifference to Walter's grim expression.Did that woman have any shame? Did she even hear the words coming out of her mouth?"Evangeline, don't listen to her. She's talking nonsense!" blurted Walter almost instinctively.He had spent days mulling over their issues, determined to clear up any misunderstandings, especially those involving Julia.However, Evangeline was not having any of it. Her eyes were icy, her glance slicing through him without a hint of warmth. "Enough! I've signed the divorce papers you sent. Once Uncle James sorts things out with the court, we can make it official. So really, Walter, what's left to explain?"Walter's heart raced, panic setting in. "But it's not like you think," he pleaded, his words tumbling out faster in his desperation. It was no use."I don't want to hear it. Whatever you two are up to, it's none of my business," Evangeline snapped, her gaze flicking

"As if!"Walter's voice lacked conviction.However, whether he was convincing or not, Julia was not about to play along."Ropes are a bit of a hassle, but Walt, you were the one who played tricks earlier, right? So we'll just have to... improvise."Julia, oozing allure, licked her lips and was about to tackle the last barrier to Walter's lower half when a knock at the door interrupted her.Knock, knock, knock!The knocker was surprisingly polite, only three knocks, each perfectly timed.Julia was on the brink of realizing a long-held wish, and that knocking was not about to mess up her groove. She was ready to press on!Knock, knock, knock!The persistent knocking sounded again, as if the person would not stop until the door came down.Walter's heart, all tied up in knots, found the knocking to be a godsend, a few gentle raps pulling him back from the brink of doom.Of course, getting out of this mess would be even better.Julia's gaze shifted to the door, curious to see ho

Evangeline's words, each one more biting than the last, left the delivery guy speechless.He glanced between the two Ms. Reardens, the drink in his hand then a symbol of awkwardness. "So, um, who should I give this drink to?"He turned to Julia, who recoiled as if the drink was a piece of garbage, stepping back and flinging her hand as if to say she wanted nothing to do with it."Seems to me," he said, "that this drink might be more... more useful to you than to Ms. Rearden here."Useful?That odd choice of words caught Julia's attention, and she suddenly became aware of her disheveled state, her clothes half-off from her recent encounter with Walter. Lucky for her, a tie on her top had spared her from total embarrassment after standing outside for so long.Evangeline, on the other hand, looked totally chill in her simple, casual outfit."Alright, Evangeline, you've made your point!" Julia's eyes shot daggers at Evangeline as she grabbed the drink of disgrace, stormed into the h

How could he, Walter, have been so blind? To have mistaken his own lifesaver!Julia was losing her patience. "What do you really want to ask? When are you going to let me go?"A chilling laugh suddenly filled the air, making Julia's skin crawl.She remembered that laugh. It was the same one Walter had when he planned to send her off to Northern Montavia.Just as expected, a second later…"Julia, if you don't even recognize this keychain, how can you say you're my savior?"Walter's voice rumbled deep and rough, each word slicing through the air like it was forged in the depths of the underworld.Julia's mind snapped into focus, her eyes darting away in a guilty flinch. She could not bring herself to meet Walter's gaze."Walt, I was just... I was so ticked off when you yanked me up earlier that I didn't really look at it, okay? But staring at this keychain, it sort of rings a bell. Looks like the one I snagged from you way back."Her wavering voice was all the confirmation Walte

When Walter made it clear he intended to make Julia his bride, Trey, defying everyone's expectations, managed to get Evangeline hitched to the Gordons.Just like that, Julia's dreams of marrying into high society crumbled to dust…Snapping back from her reverie, Julia locked eyes with Walter, his gaze dark with barely concealed anger."Julia, even now, you won't come clean, will you? Let it go."Walter sighed. He knew Julia was all too familiar with weaving tales of fiction, and offering her a chance to save face might not even appeal to her. Why go to the trouble?"You went into such detail about my rescue back then. You must know who my savior was, right? I'm not interested in digging up the past. I just want to know, who was it that saved me?"For years, Walter had been thanking the wrong person, and in doing so, he had hurt the one girl he truly cared about.What a total backfire!Regret swallowed Walter whole, but he knew he could not go easy on Julia. She was a handful, w
