Chapter 781

Walter brushed off the pressing issue, flashing Emma a sly grin. "Ms. Carter, be honest, did you even glance at this document?"Emma did not play coy. "Sure did.""And what do you make of this partnership proposal?"Walter had crafted the documents based on the infamous Southern Crownlands diamond mine scandal, not naming names but laying out the details crystal clear.If Emma was a spy for Southern Crownlands, she would slip up then.Walter expected her to ponder before answering. However, Emma shook her head so fiercely, he would think it was a rattle drum."Only a complete idiot would sign off on such a lopsided deal!"She caught herself mid-rant."Scratch that, even idiots would pass! It's a setup where one side takes all the hits, and the other side just kicks back and cashes in. Who'd agree to that? Even a fool knows better than to give away their own stuff."Charity is one thing, but you want to look good doing it, right? A company playing the charity card under the gui

No sooner had Emma sent the message than she got a reply.[Check out what's going on. If he's hurt, let me know as soon as possible.]In his private villa, Alex lounged on the couch, a smirk playing on his lips as he read the message on his phone.Walter injured? If that was true, was this not the perfect chance for him to step up?Out of nowhere, two guys in black suits burst in, rushing over to Alex in panic. They caught one look at Alex's annoyed expression and clammed up."How long have you been with me, and you're still freaking out over every little thing?"He was on track to be the Gordon Group's big boss. He could not have his people losing their composure—it made him look bad.The men looked down, embarrassed, but one blurted, "Sorry, sir, but it's serious—Ms. Rearden is hurt."Alex, figuring they meant Julia who should have been back in Southern Crownlands by then, casually set his phone aside. "And why is Julia's injury your problem?"His gaze darkened, hinting at a

Chapter 783

"It's not my brother Walter, is it?"Being the second son of the Gordon family was not something he could hide, especially not with a face that was a spitting image of Walter's. If they were not related, that would be the real shocker.Wyatt scoffed, "Sir, you and Mr. Walter Gordon are practically identical for all intents and purposes. How could I mistake him for anyone else?"However, this guy is a total stranger. I did some digging, and it turns out he's the big-shot CEO of the Foster Group who goes by the name—""Hank.""Hank!"The name burst out of Alex and Wyatt at the same time."And how are those two getting on?"A guy and a gal, both unattached, heading off to Aurora Mountain for some fun… and they were in the same age bracket, too.It did not take a genius to guess they might be more than just friends.Things were looking up, the pair walked hand in hand, and Yale of the Fosters watched their closeness without any sign of objection. Was he the new love interest the

Walter was in on it too?Alex mulled it over, and the pieces clicked into place.With Walter around, Evangeline's crush on him could definitely lead her to grab Hank's hand.He recalled the report Emma had given him.Was there a chance Evangeline had something to do with Walter getting hurt?Alex nodded, lost in thought, and Carl could not help but shoot a smug look at Wyatt.'Look at that, I've still got it. You've got a lot to learn, kid.'Wyatt just shrugged off Carl's gloating. He knew Carl was just a straightforward guy, not wanting to be outdone or replaced. After all, was it not normal to hustle for a paycheck? Especially if it could give him an edge.Alex was clueless about the silent battle raging between his two guys, his gaze briefly flicking toward the door."Okay, I've got the picture."Evangeline was hurt, and he had to at least pretend to care."Carl, find something nice for Ms. Rearden, and make it quick.""Got it."Carl agreed but hung back, sneaking peeks

Wyatt shrugged, looking frustrated."You knew it all along?"Alex let out a sharp, dismissive snort. "Sure, as your boss, I've got no grounds to fault you. However, as a man? You've made my girl suffer, and I'll never forgive that!"His words were so resolute that they sent a chill down Wyatt's spine.If Wyatt had not known the messy love triangle they were all tangled up in, he might have bought into the idea that Alex was head over heels for Evangeline."Before we even get into whether Ms. Rearden is 'your girl', I think if a guy really likes a girl, the first thing he's got to do is make her happy."Dude, you keep saying you're all about Evangeline, but what have you actually done for her? Were you there with tender care, or did you step up when times got tough? Or maybe you were her constant shadow, day and night?"No offense, but you haven't been any of that, right?"Wyatt watched as a storm brewed on Alex's face, but fear did not touch him.Truth be told, he had come to

"Yep." Wyatt nodded firmly. "But come on, don't you think I'm speaking the truth here?"Sometimes, I wonder if you've really sorted out your feelings. Are you head over heels for Evangeline, or have you been fooling yourself right from the start?"Alex was taken aback. He had never thought of his feelings for Evangeline as some kind of self-deception."Why would you call it a deception? You think I'm lying to myself?"He pointed at his chest with a derisive laugh. "Do I look like an idiot to you?"Wyatt locked eyes with Alex, and in those eyes, just like Walter's, there was an intense fire to come out on top."Being too competitive can sometimes make you lose sight of what's real."Do you think maybe your crush on Evangeline is just about beating Walter? From where I'm standing, it sure looks that way."They say outsiders had the clearest view, but Alex, the insider, never once questioned his feelings for Evangeline."Well, you couldn't be more wrong. You have no idea what's g

Chapter 787

Wyatt was gone.All Alex could feel was a pang of regret.After all, with just one piercing glance, he knew that Wyatt's easygoing words were just a show. He was not coming back.However, finding another capable sidekick for Alex was a piece of cake with his army of minions.However, it was Evangeline who was on his mind at this moment.He had to keep the news he had gotten through the grapevine from Evangeline at all costs, leaving him with only one good excuse to use.…Evangeline, relaxing at the old Foster family mansion, carefreely savored an apple Julieta had peeled for her.Roslyn and Holden were hovering around Evangeline, tiptoeing around her, dying to ask her something but too unsure to actually do it. Nonetheless, the worry was eating them up inside.Julieta, feeling pretty useless, decided to duck into the kitchen to whip up some chicken soup.Of course, everyone had their breaking point.Finally, Holden and Roslyn could not take it anymore and settled it with ro

Chapter 788

It was clear as day to Evangeline. She knew exactly what Roslyn and Holden were up to behind her back.Roslyn, seeing Evangeline's reaction, dropped the act. "Evie, since you've figured it out, spill it. Stop leaving us hanging."For crying out loud, the silent tension of the past few minutes was nearly unbearable!"It's not like there's much to tell."Evangeline could not fathom their tiptoeing around the issue. Her split with Walter was not a new drama.It was just that time, it stung more than ever.Nonetheless, what of it? Was the heartache not part of the deal when she cared about someone?She was not about to play the tough girl anymore, no more hiding her true feelings.Even if she had convinced herself for a moment that she had forgotten him, that she was over Walter, what did it matter in the end? She could fool her mind, but her heart was a different story.After all that time apart, even though every encounter was a clash, when Walter got hurt protecting her, she co

Chapter 789

They had not had much chance to talk before Evangeline's mishap, and since then, they had been preoccupied with her situation.The dust had settled, and Roslyn was at a loss for words when she saw Yale again.Holden noticed something off about Roslyn. She was usually so fiery, but then she seemed to have cooled off in front of Yale.Taking the lead, he said, "Evie has gone to her room. We figured she might need some space right now."Emotions were tricky, and sometimes, he just had to let people handle them on their own.Yale nodded slightly as if he agreed with Holden's take on the situation. Turning to Roslyn, his normally stoic face showed a trace of awkwardness."Ahem! Roslyn, could you join me in the study for a moment?" In front of his little brother Holden, he signaled to Roslyn with a wave.Roslyn blushed instantly, shaking her head so hard that he would think it was a rattle drum. "No way am I going over there."Yale's reaction was a dead giveaway—he had something secr

Chapter 790

Roslyn found herself swept into Yale's arms, his voice ringing with authority next to her ear, "Think you're not coming with me? You don't get to decide that!"Yale's commanding presence made Roslyn squirm uncomfortably in his hold. "Let go of me, you jerk!"Yale tightened his grip, lifting Roslyn effortlessly, and whispered teasingly into her ear, "Roslyn, ever heard the saying, 'Girls love a bad boy'?"They continued their playful tussle all the way to the study.The room was stark and functional, filled with books and papers, with a single set of solid wood furniture that matched Yale's no-nonsense personality.Roslyn's eyes landed on the forlorn-looking solid wood sofa in the corner, and she had an instant realization.Yale brought her to the study for a serious chat!All the steamy scenes Roslyn had conjured up in her mind faded to dull gray.If only she had known it was going to be like that, she would not have been scared at all…Roslyn's lips twitched, her eyes brimmin
