Chapter 741

Walter stood alone, his figure cast in shadows. He could not help but wonder, when would it be his turn to step into the spotlight?The question caught him off-guard. What was happening to him? Since graduating and being strong-armed by Trey into leading Gordon Group, his sole focus had been on the company's success. The old, sentimental Walter had been buried under a mountain of work.However, at this moment, it seemed like that part of him was stirring back to life.He checked the time. David and Celina's flight should have landed by then. Pulling out his phone, Walter dialed David's number without a second thought.Meanwhile, David, fresh from a trip to Southern Crownlands, was back again, feeling like a local. He was busy setting up a cozy spot for him and Celina, completely forgetting that they were actually in Celina's neighborhood.Celina watched David chatter away, too polite to cut him off. However, Walter's call was a godsend.As David wavered between answering and igno

Chapter 742

In a lavish five-star hotel in Southern Crownlands…David lounged against the headboard, his gaze fixed on the tablet. The screen displayed the scanned documents Walter had sent over.He knew every word there, but pieced together, they made no sense to him.The Southern Crownlands government was supposed to be legitimate, so how could they pull off such sneaky moves behind the scenes after being all upfront and honest?They had a smooth talk during the initial deal-making, after all!He just could not wrap his head around what the Southern Crownlands government could possibly gain from this. Did they think the folks at Gordon Group were just a bunch of nobodies?When they inked the deal, did not anyone take a good, hard look at the paper documents they had sent over?He had to get in touch with Walter right away to figure out their next move.Only when he heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, David finally made the call with ease.He was not trying to be overly c

Chapter 743

Had Walter stumbled upon something new?Before David could even greet him, Walter's grave voice filled his ear. "David, forget about dealing with the Southern Crownlands government.""You can't be serious, Mr. Walter Gordon," David stammered in disbelief. "You know how crucial the diamond mine case is for Gordon Group. How can a contract like this be so... ambiguous?"David's jaw dropped, and for a second, he could not even remember who he was. He just blurted out his question to Walter.If Gordon Group went through with that deal with the Southern Crownlands government, they would be pouring a fortune into a black hole. They would be working their tails off for nothing, with 80 percent of their cash stuck in quicksand.For a big-shot company like Gordon Group, that was playing with fire. If their cash flow hit a snag, they would be staring down the barrel of bankruptcy.Walter had to have seen that disaster coming. "I'm dead serious," Walter said with a steely edge to his voice.

Chapter 744

What disturbed Walter the most was figuring out the identity of the thief.If job importance was the measure, David topped the list of suspects.Before David had flown off to Southern Crownlands, he had had a hand in pretty much all of Walter's projects. However, Walter knew David was loyal, and besides, David had no motive or chance to pull off such a heist.The papers had not been out of Walter's sight for long.He had only put them in the safe after coming back from the old Gordon family house, and the safe was right there in his office.Plus, Walter always locked up when the office was closed—it could not have been at night.That left the time he was at the airport dropping off Evangeline.However, David had been all wrapped up in thoughts of Celina's return to Southern Crownlands and had headed to the airport way early. He could not have been the one.That narrowed it down to one person.His new secretary, Emma Carter.Walter had his suspicions about Emma for good reason

Chapter 745

Walter had prepared the document the night before, scrubbing it clean of any Southern Crownlands government intel, leaving just the cooperation treaty. Emma would definitely catch a glimpse of the info while copying it, and he was eager to see how she would react.…Over at the Foster family's old place, Evangeline was up with the birds thanks to her plan with Hank.However, on this day, she was acting all kinds of strange. She did not wake her best friend Roslyn but instead snuck off to another room to get ready.Truth be told, she was more excited about what might spark between Yale and Roslyn than her own trip to Aurora Mountain.However, as she thought about it, she realized she might have been slightly unfair to Hank. So, the first thing she did after waking up was to give Hank a call.Hank was all set, just waiting for the right time to get in his car and head over to the Foster family's place to pick up Evangeline. Instead, his phone rang.Worried that Evangeline might ba

At that point, even Hank, who was not the sharpest tool in the shed, could tell what Evangeline was up to. "So, you're trying to match Mr. Yale Foster with your best friend?""Yep." Evangeline nodded enthusiastically. "Do you think they'd be cute together?"Before Hank could get a word in, Evangeline had an 'oh-duh' moment and smacked her forehead. "I totally spaced on this—you're not exactly the type to have celebrity crushes, are you? You probably don't even know what Roslyn looks like."Evangeline quickly showed a picture of Roslyn on her phone to show him.Hank glanced at the photo, but it was Yale's serious face that popped into his head.Could that workaholic actually fall for someone?However, he could not dare say that to Evangeline. He was in full-on wooing mode, and everything was about what Evangeline wanted. No way was he going to rock the boat.If it turned out to be a wild goose chase, so be it. He was game for a little chaos if it meant spending time with Evangeli

Chapter 747

At that moment, Hank had finished his phone call and came over. Their moment of closeness had been cut short, leaving Hank feeling frustrated and a little awkward around Evangeline."Evie, I've taken care of what you asked me to do. Anything else?" he asked.Evangeline, coming back to the present, shook her head. "No, that's everything. Let's head out, Uncle Yale will be here any minute."They walked in silence, an unspoken agreement between them not to bring up what had just happened.The parking lot was deserted as they made their way through it, and suddenly, the sound of a car engine broke the silence.Evangeline saw the butler pulling into a spot with Yale's car.Glancing at her watch, she thought, 'Uncle Yale, you're early. I hope Roslyn's awake by now.'She picked up the pace, leaving the parking lot and told Hank to go find his car and come back at the usual time.She went straight to meet Yale.The villa was quiet except for the sound of Julieta busily making breakfas

Chapter 748

How could Evangeline move on and find her happily ever after if she did not get that divorce?Yale was about to dial James when, out of the blue…"Uncle Yale, don't say that. I know what I'm worth."Evangeline shot Yale a look that was a mix of sadness and frustration, then let out a sigh before adding, "Maybe I'm not the one for Hank, but my best friend Roslyn is another story. She's gorgeous, has a voice like an angel, and she's a celeb."Sure, she's not top of the charts yet, but she's breaking into movies and TV, and she's only going to climb higher. Uncle Yale, don't you think Roslyn and Hank would be perfect together?"She was playing him like a fiddle. By dropping Hank's name, she was trying to light a fire of jealousy in Yale!If Yale caught on to his own green-eyed monster, he would have to face the music about everything else."Them together?"Yale could not shake the image of Roslyn and Hank together. He pictured Roslyn's delicate hand linked with Hank's as they stoo

"That's exactly why I thought of setting her up with Hank when she told me that."Evangeline's face turned all serious as she said this, and she made sure to warn Yale. "Look, I'm only spilling the beans to you, so keep it under wraps, okay? And don't you dare meddle in their business. Whether they click or not, it's on them!"I'm actually rooting for them to hit it off. It'd be another reason for the Foster family to celebrate!"Yale let out a dismissive snort. "What's their wedding got to do with the Foster family?"Evangeline shot back, clearly annoyed, "Come on, one is my best friend and the other is the CEO of Foster Group. How can you say it's got nothing to do with us?"Uncle Yale, you're the head honcho of the Foster family. You've got to be all smiles on their big day and even pick out a gift for the happy couple yourself!"Yale pictured it: Roslyn in her bridal gown, beaming next to Hank, and him... standing there, handing over a gift with both hands.The thought made

Chapter 750

Hank was the kind of guy who knew how to play by the rules.He really liked Evangeline, and part of him wanted to just agree with everything she said. However, deep down, he knew they should not be sneaking around, spying on Yale."Let's just drop it. Love stuff is tricky, and even if we did see something, we couldn't do much about it. It's just extra stress we don't need. Better to stay out of it.""But…"Hank had a point, and Evangeline knew it, but her curiosity was like a wild horse she could not rein in.Suddenly, a big hand covered her eyes, plunging her world into darkness.From somewhere above, Hank's voice floated down. "No 'buts' about it. What if we end up seeing something super awkward? Better safe than sorry, right?"'Yeah, he's right. Better not to look.'Evangeline let the idea go, but then she was hyper-aware of Hank's hand on her face. His palm was warm against her eyelids, and she could trace the lines of his skin with her mind.A rush of something like elect
