The only person who could pull that off was Evangeline.Walter felt his heart plummet.He had spilled the beans right in front of Trey!Dinner at the Gordon family's old house, with one elder and two youngsters, was surprisingly peaceful for once.Trey, though, kept a frosty look the whole time, only cracking a slight smile when he took a sip of his drink.Aria, not wanting to rub Trey the wrong way, nudged Walter to lay on the charm.Somehow, they managed to wrap up dinner without any drama. However, as soon as Trey set down his silverware, his voice dropped an octave."Walter, step into the study with me."That tone sent a shiver down Walter's spine.Family stuff was no secret to Aria and Alex. If they were heading to the study alone, it had to be about business.Trey's icy demeanor at dinner must have been because of the report Walter brought back.Walter braced himself, but facing the music still had him anxious.A sheaf of papers smacked him square in the face.

Trey's expression fell.Walter saw the shift in his grandfather's expression but pressed on anyway."Alex has the skills and the vision. He could make a fortune for Gordon Group. Why are you so hung up on that old promise?"That was something Walter just could not wrap his head around.Before, when it came to Alex, he had only played the bad guy to keep Alex from holding a grudge against Trey.However, truth be told, Walter never really cared who ran Gordon Group. He actually thought it would be better off in Alex's hands, so he could go do his own thing.Trey let out a long, weary sigh. "Walter, you're giving others a leg up and selling yourself short. That's not like you..."His eyes, old and wise, suddenly looked clouded and sad as he gazed at Walter, a touch of sorrow in his gaze."Grandpa, you know me. I'm just being honest."It was easy to see things clearly from the outside, but Walter, even caught up in the middle of it all, managed to stay objective and fair about Ale

Chapter 733

What baffled Walter was who could have convinced Trey to agree to such a thing.After all, Alex was a natural at business. Forcing him out of the game was like a fate worse than death!Did someone have a grudge against Alex?Caught up in his thoughts, Walter found himself at the bottom of the stairs.Instinctively looking ahead, he spotted a solitary figure in the garden through the villa's large windows.The chill of early spring lingered in the air.Alex was out there, dressed in a light camel hair coat with a blanket over his legs, staring blankly at the garden's faded glory.Walter did not interrupt him. Instead, he stood by the window, silently watching.Alex had always been his brother, and nothing could change that. Despite their different parents and the rivalry over Evangeline, Walter had always seen Alex as a true brother.As he watched the solitary figure outside, Walter wondered what was going through Alex's mind. Was he thinking about when he would return to the c

Chapter 734

Yale had put his job on hold for the sake of the Foster family, and the higher-ups were not exactly thrilled about it.Anyone else would have raced back to work by then.However, with Evangeline's miscarriage and Cole's death, not to mention the constant threats of assassination and kidnapping, Yale was too worried about Evangeline's safety to leave.He was not about to let Holden pin that kind of rap on him.Holden realized he had crossed a line and quickly switched gears. "Okay, okay, so I've got a big mouth and I blabbed. You're the big brother, aren't you going to let it slide?"Just then, something dawned on Holden. "Hey, you've been home for ages now. What about your job... is everything okay there?"As he spoke, Holden kicked himself for being so clueless. He had only just thought about his elder brother's job situation.Yale held a top position in the north and could not leave a job like that unattended for long.Holden knew that Yale must be going through tough times o

Yale's face twisted into a knot at the thought of Roslyn.As long as she did not rub off on Evangeline, he could pretend not to see whatever else she got up to."What's the big deal?"Holden shrugged. "Did you forget? When Evie wanted to shack up solo in the 'Emerald of the Highlands' mansion, didn't we hook her up with Julieta for some round-the-clock company? She was none the wiser!"And I've got just the person in mind to hang with Evie—what about... Hank?"Holden leaned in, a mischievous glint in his eye."Don't even try to tell me you're not itching to keep that golden goose for the company! Sure, the kid's got skills, but him working his tail off for the Foster Group without any official title or clear role? That's a ticking time bomb."Why not play matchmaker with him and Evie? If sparks fly and Hank becomes part of the Foster family by marrying her, we could hand over the whole shebang with peace of mind, right?"He was talking a mile a minute, his excitement growing wi

Chapter 737

Julieta pulled out her phone, thumb hovering over the screen as if she was about to shoot off a text to Evangeline."Is that the truth?"Julieta's words were flawless, but something still did not sit right.It was Roslyn who cut through the weird vibe hanging in the air. "Let's not get stuck on this, okay? Evie and I were off exploring the world, and Mrs. Lewis taking a break to head home made sense. However, we're back now. So, Mrs. Lewis, are you still planning to extend your vacation?"That hit like a splash of cold water.Evangeline had gotten so used to Julieta's cooking that the thought of her leaving was downright unsettling.However, Julieta…She had not seen her own home since she started as Evangeline's live-in nanny. She had meant to use that chance to catch up with her kids.Torn between her job and her family, Julieta set her packed bag down. "If you ladies aren't heading out, then I guess I'm not on holiday anymore."For a live-in nanny, the job always came first

Roslyn's words were fiercely loyal.Despite Evangeline backing out after agreeing to the lead song, Roslyn did not show a speck of resentment.Evangeline felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. Maybe that was what it meant to truly have someone in her corner. Then there was Walter. If Julia had been around, he would never have picked Evangeline first. It had happened enough times to make it clear.Still…"Aren't they going to be on your case about it?"After all, Evangeline was supposed to deliver the hit song, the make-or-break for the album's success."Worst comes to worst, I'll just say I told you not to write it. What can they really do to me?"Roslyn gave Evangeline's shoulder a reassuring pat. "So, you've got a clear path ahead, just don't be your own roadblock, okay? And don't sweat it about me. The album's my gig, and if I bail, they're the ones who'll take the hit, not me! They're not about to do something that dumb."Roslyn's pep talk did wonders for Evangeline's gu

Chapter 739

"I'm not really tied up with anything, but going out to clear my head..."That thought had not even crossed her mind.Evangeline was about to blurt out her real plans when Roslyn yanked her back to reality. She caught herself just in time.Hank knew she was supposed to be traveling, so claiming she had not thought about taking a breather would be a dead giveaway that she was lying, right?"Can't make it to Southern Crownlands, but hey, another adventure could be just as cool. I'm still up in the air about where to go, though. Got any awesome ideas?"Evangeline instantly regretted the words. Everyone knew vacations were for time together, and there she was, asking for advice like a clueless newbie.However, Hank, too thrilled about the prospect of hitting the road with Evangeline, missed the awkwardness entirely."I'm thinking a local spin around Avalon City might be the ticket. You know, with the company and all, I have to stay on call. Wouldn't want to jet off too far and mess

Chapter 740

"Okay, so when do we head out? I need to let Mrs. Lewis know to whip up some snacks ahead of time. Aurora Mountain is all mountains, and it's not like we can just grab a bite anywhere if we get peckish."'!'Hank was nearly floored.It was clear as day that his excuses were just to dodge any awkwardness with Evangeline. However, who would have guessed she would agree?Little did they know, Evangeline had seen all their little power plays.She did not feel much about it; she just felt like chuckling.Hank had invited her out, and she knew exactly what he was thinking. She also got why Roslyn had turned him down.However, to just go on a simple outing with Hank would be missing out on a golden chance.She needed to... spice things up a bit. To give her Roslyn one heck of a surprise.While Roslyn was off chasing down Julieta, Evangeline hit up Yale on the phone."Uncle Yale, I'm thinking of checking out Aurora Mountain with Hank tomorrow, is that alright with you?"She had alwa
