All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 831 - Chapter 840

"Can I tell you about one of my uncles? What do you think?" asked Evangeline, looping her arm through Elliana's in a friendly gesture.She had an ulterior motive: she was hoping to play matchmaker for her uncle. However, she needed to give Elliana the lowdown on him. It was not like she was trying to sell her a used car or anything.Her uncle might be a chatterbox, but he had a kind of thoughtfulness not often found in most guys. Elliana, with her star on the rise, could use someone who would be there for her. They seemed like they would be a perfect match.Elliana's eyes flickered with surprise for a moment, but she just smiled and urged Evangeline to go on."My third uncle is the sweetest of all my uncles. He's always been there for me more than anyone else."As a kid, Holden's presence had filled a void in her life, giving her the love she had been missing. Sure, she might tease him for being a bit of a windbag, but her affection for him was as real as it could get."He sounds

"Shoot."David was all in. It was just one question, and he was not the type to sweat the small stuff."Why did they kick Walter out of Gordon Group?" Evangeline did not let David get a word in edgewise and pressed on, "Don't even try to say you don't know. You're Walter's right-hand man. No one else knows the whole story better than you do, except for him!"Evangeline's question came as a surprise to David.He was wrestling with whether to confess about the Gordon Group's drama. However, it hit him that he had already quit. He was not part of that world anymore, so the whole secrecy thing was a non-issue.After a ten-minute info dump, David was parched, but Evangeline was finally clued in. She got the lowdown on why Walter had to bail on the company and the high-stakes gig David had to take on, leaving Celina in the lurch.Evangeline felt for Walter, but she also pieced together why Alex had gone paparazzi on them, blasting those sweet-looking pictures for all to see. Walter was

Emma's tension eased only after she caught the secretary's sly grin and heard her question."Out with it, what do you need?"The secretary snapped back to business, her face taking on a stern expression. "We've got a visitor at the reception desk asking to see Mr. Alex Gordon in the CEO's office."Emma raised an eyebrow. "Since when can people just demand to see Mr. Alex Gordon? And in the office, no less. Why can't they follow the usual procedures? What's the big deal?"Did they need to make a fuss over something so minor all the way up to the CEO's office?To Emma's surprise, the secretary's head shook like a bobblehead. "Emma, this is someone we can't afford to mess with. He's the former Mr. Walter Gordon, Alex's brother, Walter Gordon!"Walter had been the big shot at Gordon Group. Who could stand up to him?Even though he was no longer with the company, his legacy lingered. Who would have dared cross him?Emma grasped the gravity of the situation in an instant.If it was

"What do we do? Just send it off!"Walter had left those packages to throw off any suspicion, which meant they were probably clean.If Alex checked them, he would look like the worst kind of penny-pincher, fussing over his younger brother picking up a few things.Walter had managed to clear his name and pin the postal duties on Alex, a slick move indeed.Alex, stuck with a raw deal, had no choice but to suck it up in silence.Little did Alex know, Walter had cleared out all the bedding and blankets from the break room to make up those packages. It was all a ruse to keep Alex's eyes off the real prize.The only thing Walter actually took from the office was one item, and nothing else mattered.…Meanwhile, Celina's escape plan was heating up. David came through and got a plane ready right on Celina's schedule. However, that plane was not for them. It was for someone else entirely—a person bundled up tight and hooked to an oxygen pump, surrounded by a protective circle as they bo

"Celina, you've got to run, or it'll be too late!""But you're hurt..." Celina, who hardly ever cried, was then a waterfall of tears. "No, I can't go on without you! David, we'll go out together!"She held onto David's arm for dear life."No... you can't!"David was already weak from the chest wound, and Celina's grip was draining what little strength he had left."Celina, I've got you this time. I'll always be your hero! I... I'd die happy knowing that!"Get out of here, now! Run! If you don't... If you don't, my sacrifice means nothing!""No, David! You can't leave me behind again. After finally stepping up to save me, you can't just... you can't!"The man in black was closing in fast, and they were running out of time.David yelled with all his might, "Run, Celina! Hurry!"Celina was stubborn, but then she saw the business end of a gun staring her in the face.It was the man in black, all decked out in a tight outfit, his face hidden except for his eyes."If you won't le
