"Are we... safe now?" David's voice was tinged with disbelief as his eyes fluttered open.Celina's worried face was the first thing he saw."You okay?"He clutched her hand, eyes wide, as if he needed to check her over to be sure she was really all right.Celina nodded hard. "I'm fine, we're both fine!""Thank goodness you're fine."David finally relaxed, his mind slowly piecing together the memories before everything went black."Yeah, I remember now, we were in trouble, and then there was a gunshot… Someone saved us, didn't they?"As Celina nodded, David felt a wave of gratitude. To think that in a foreign land, someone had the courage to pull them from the jaws of danger."Who was it? We need to find them and say thanks."Celina looked lost for a moment. "I don't know who it was. You were bleeding everywhere, and Ms. Evangeline's people came to get us. It was all so rushed, I didn't see..."Her voice trailed off as she remembered the slender silhouette.That figure…A f

Roslyn scrunched up her face, clearly not pleased. She playfully punched Celina, which seemed to make her feel better."We're practically sisters! What's with the thanks? Celina, if you don't cut it out, I'm seriously going to thump you!"Roslyn was as fiery as ever, only toning it down when Yale was around.Evangeline stood by, watching the exchange without a word.She understood that Celina and Roslyn had their unique way of talking things out, and her butting in would only mess with their vibe.About the whole name thing, Evangeline had tried to get Celina to drop the formalities too many times, but she kept on with Ms. Evangeline and Ms. Shaw. What could she do?Celina realized she had slipped up with her words.As she kept apologizing, she could not help but feel like the luckiest person in the world. Out of all the people out there, she had found Evangeline and Roslyn, both who genuinely cared for her…The hospital visit was short, and the medical report on David quickly

Chapter 843

David gestured dismissively, his eyes quickly scanning the room, landing on Evangeline, Celina, and Roslyn.Those three were Evangeline's inner circle, the ones she trusted implicitly. If they were solid, so was he."There's a Bennison among us in Gordon Group, and it's very likely Alex.""Alex?" Roslyn could not hide her shock."Alex is Walter's older brother, right? Gordon Group is part of his empire. Why would he want a deal like the Southern Crownlands diamond mine that's bleeding money? Mr. Zimmer, are you sure you're not chasing shadows?"Roslyn had her doubts, and so did Evangeline. However, after David filled her in with the details, she was almost certain—there was a 90 percent chance Alex was the mole.Alex, with his knack for playing long games and a grudge against the Gordon Group that went way back, saw his golden opportunity.To him, seizing control of the company was all that mattered. Who cared if it seemed like a bad deal at first? He was smart enough to turn th

Evangeline inhaled deeply, her voice steady as she addressed the group."Alex has been able to feel his legs for quite some time. He showed me he could stand, but his movements were too fluid, too effortless. It's likely he's been walking for ages and just never let on to us."By then, the depth of Alex's deception had Evangeline seriously spooked.How could anyone be so sly as to fake being paralyzed from the waist down, especially in front of people who knew him, and keep it up for so long?The thing was…"I still can't figure out what's up with Alex's legs. I've asked him, but he dodges the question every time. Is it possible he's been playing us all with his act?"David's face lit up with a sudden understanding. "Exactly! We've all bought into the idea that he's wheelchair-bound and that it makes life tough for him, so we never suspected him. That wheelchair's nothing but a smoke bomb!"David was practically seething by the end of his rant.With the pieces falling into plac

"Okay, have you set up a time? If it's good for you, I can come over right now."The people David arranged were highly reliable. When Evangeline got to Gordon Group, a security guard handed her a USB drive, no questions asked.Sifting through hours of security footage was like running a marathon with her eyes. When she did not even know where to start looking, it was more like a wild goose chase.David had to make a guess based on a tip-off from Walter to pinpoint when someone had inked their name on a contract.Celina watched over David, glued to the computer screens, while Evangeline and Roslyn took on the video vigil.Roslyn watched Evangeline's eyes go bloodshot from the strain and felt a tug at her heartstrings. She wanted to just power down the computer and call it a day. However, she knew that would only leave Evangeline more crushed than ever…Little did Evangeline know, she and Walter were like two sides of the same coin, caught up in the same task at the same moment.W

"Yeah, got a bit banged up, but it's no big deal." David's voice was scratchy, and he sounded dog-tired."Can you swing by the hospital? I have something to tell you in person."David glanced at Evangeline, who was right there with him. Her thumbs-up gave him the green light to ask.Some things just did not come across right over the phone. Evangeline had already offered to help with the hush-hush matters, but since David was stuck in bed, he needed Walter to come to him."I'm on my way."Walter did not even have to think about it.Deep down, he had this gut feeling that whatever David wanted to talk about was very important.Injured or not, Walter was his former superior, and he felt it was only right to check in on him.Avalon City General Hospital.Walter walked into David's VIP hospital room to find Celina, who he had not seen in forever.She looked like she had not slept in days, but David? He was all smiles, the two of them having a blast until Walter showed up.The mo

Chapter 847

Could it be that Evangeline's efforts were hidden somewhere in that 10-minute-long video?Walter might have left the company, but he was not out of the loop when it came to its affairs.The moment the USB was handed over by the company staff, someone had filled him in.He was so intent on watching the entire video that he ignored the report.That report had come in less than 36 hours ago.With so much footage and no exact time to go on, finding the man in white was like searching for a needle in a haystack. To identify a suspect in such a short time was extremely difficult.Someone must have been glued to the screen, watching the footage around the clock to have edited that clip so quickly…That person could not possibly be the injured David, nor could it be Celina who was caring for him.David's voice was still talking in the background."As of now, we've identified the man in the video, he is... Alex."Alex, Walter's own brother, was the last person anyone expected to be ca

Chapter 848

Walter needed rock-solid proof to corner Alex into a confession.Thus, before the big showdown, he had to get his ducks in a row."It was a watch."David cut to the chase.To drive the point home, he took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and zoomed in for Walter's benefit. "Caught this snapshot from the surveillance earlier. The guy rolled up his sleeve and—bam—there's the watch."Walter peered at the blown-up image. A gold watch with a bit of peeling paint jumped out at him, triggering a wave of recognition.That watch... Evangeline had given it to Alex as a present!He remembered it clearly because Alex had made a big show of it to him when he got it.Evangeline was known for her lavish gifts, and that watch was no dime-a-dozen piece. It was a limited edition—so rare that most folks would not even recognize it, much less own one.Two videos surfaced, nailing Alex red-handed for fiddling with the contract.However, Walter's mind drifted to a different timepiece.Alex was t

When Walter looked up again, he was a man transformed.That enigmatic grin, those deep, unreadable eyes—David could tell, the boss was about to make his move. He could not wait to see what was going to happen next!"Mr. Walter Gordon, don't you think Mr. Alex Gordon rushed back to the company a little too eagerly?"They were not in any rush. However, Alex, who had strutted back into the company like he owned the place, was about to have his world rocked.Only the video they held could show that the contract Gordon Group had with the Southern Crownlands government was not signed by Walter himself.So, if Alex did not get his hands on that video to prove the contract with the Southern Crownlands government was a no-go, he was stuck playing by the rules, or else he would be coughing up a fortune in fines.Walter scoffed. "Man, I've been biding my time for years, and now that I've got a shot at getting back in the game, you think I'm going to relax?"David gave him a knowing look, b

Chapter 850

David was still trying to figure out how to get Walter to swallow his pride and stick around at the Fosters'.Meanwhile, Walter cautiously probed, "Do you think Evangeline would be okay with me hanging around?"The mere thought of being near Evangeline every day was enough to make Walter's heart race.He did not mind what it cost him!"Ms. Evangeline probably won't agree, you know."After all, he and Walter were practically nobodies in Evangeline's eyes…David's lips raised as he pitched an idea to his boss. "Maybe if you really lay it on thick, you might stand a chance."Evangeline must still have a soft spot for Walter; she would not have agreed to help so readily otherwise."Got it, I understand."Walter nodded, lost in a daydream where he was clinging to Evangeline's side, no matter how silly it might seem. Hey, it could be blissful, right?Just then, Celina, who had been eavesdropping at the door, could not take it anymore.She burst into the room, her expression icy.
