"Evie, just a heads-up, Walter is still Mr. Walter Gordon of the high-and-mighty Gordons. There's no way he's going to end up on the streets. You can't let him crash at the Fosters', got it?"Roslyn's blood boiled just thinking about Evangeline being put through the wringer by Walter, heart and soul, body and mind. The thought of sharing a roof with him after everything was unthinkable."Don't worry about it. He's not sticking around." Evangeline gave Roslyn's shoulder a comforting pat. "I'm actually dying to see Walter knocked down a peg. Bet he's got that 'I just ate a lemon' look plastered all over his face."Who was Walter, anyway?None other than the untouchable Mr. Walter Gordon of the Gordons, the big boss of Gordon Group. When was the last time anyone saw him lost for words?Good thing she swung by the hospital today, or she would have missed the show of the century.Out of nowhere, David, who had been sneakily scrolling through Websphere to kill time, let out a yelp, his

Chapter 852

"That's the one. It's our first year teaming up, so we're still feeling each other out. However, when our crew got wind of the issue, they beelined for a quality check."Guess what? The 'big quality disaster' was just some tiny scuffs on the parts, no biggie, yet they're making this a bigger problem than it is!"Carl was panicking, close to tears. "We just shelled out big time for mining rights in the Southern Crownlands. If we don't bank that nine million from The Bennex Corporation and then have to shell out for the breach..."He felt like the room was spinning. "Sir, we're staring down the barrel of a financial meltdown."Carl was a bundle of nerves, but Alex remained composed.Alex had it all figured out—the Bennison family had set a sneaky trap to take over the Gordon family's empire. Their weapon? The Bennex Corporation, which was entirely under the Bennisons' control.If Alex had not stepped in to save Gordon Group, The Bennex Corporation would have hit them where it hurt,

Chapter 853

"Dad, maybe it's just not meant to be with Evie and our family. You've got to stop beating yourself up over this. If you get sick from all the worry, what are we going to do?"Aria could not help but notice how Trey seemed to age more with each passing day, and it worried her.She had to admit that after all the years of back-and-forth, Trey had been nothing but good to her and her son, especially after they were left on their own. When Walter's dad died in the war, Trey took them under his wing, treating them like royalty and even letting Walter run the company.He had passed the reins back to Alex, yet Walter still came away with a multitude of experiences. Aria felt grateful for that.Thus, seeing Trey like that, she felt like she was not doing enough for him and was determined to help.Trey gave his hand a shake and put the Gemstone Bracelets back in their wooden box, lingering without closing the lid, his finger gently tracing over it."Aria, would you mind turning on the te

Chapter 854

Aria's words were loaded with so much information that Walter was overwhelmed.He wrestled with the barrage of truths.Once he had his thoughts in order, the pieces fell into place.Trey had made a promise that meant Alex had to step away from the company. Seeing Alex throw in the towel and jet off to study music abroad, Trey had carried that guilt.Hoping to give Walter a chance to win back Evangeline, Trey—sensing Alex's ironclad resolve for the company—smoothly passed the reins to Alex, setting Walter free.It would be a lie to say Walter was not touched.Through it all, Trey never blamed him for the mess at Southern Crownlands. Instead, he had left Walter a sliver of hope for a shot at happiness."Grandpa has heard about The Bennex Corporation mess?"Walter froze.With the Bennison family backing Alex, there had to be a way out of that mess.However, how could he possibly make Trey understand all that?He glanced at the ominous red light of the operating room.Even if h

Chapter 855

"Grandpa, you can stop worrying about the company. With Alex running things, it's all under control," Walter assured him.He was not just trying to make Alex look good. Walter genuinely believed that even if Alex was in league with the Bennison family, he would never let Gordon Group, his responsibility, crumble to nothing.Gordon Group was Trey's life's work, and Walter knew it was weighing heavily on Trey's mind.He said that to ease Trey's worries.It worked. Trey closed his eyes for a moment, a sign of relief, then squeezed Walter's hand once more."Evie..."Hearing that name, Walter's tears came flooding out. Even facing the end, Trey thought of Walter and Evangeline."You want to see Evangeline, don't you?" Walter asked gently.Trey gave a faint nod."I'll go get her right now!"Walter had been on his way to visit David when he had stumbled upon Trey being rushed into the hospital. He had hurried to Trey's side, only to realize he had no clue where to find Evangeline.

Chapter 856

Walter was afraid that any attempt to control her would ruin their chances of making up for good.Walter's fears were unfounded, though.Trey had always cherished Evangeline like his own granddaughter, and she was not one to hold grudges. With Trey so sick, she would not dream of saying no.The hospital room was quiet except for the sound of Aria's sobs as she tucked the blanket around Trey's thin frame."Dad, look who's here. Evie's come to see you, your favorite granddaughter-in-law. Please, wake up," Aria whispered.Trey seemed to hear her plea and slowly opened his eyes. Evangeline had not even reached his bedside when he weakly reached out to her. She dashed to his side, and as she spoke, her tears fell freely."Mr. Gordon..." Evangeline stood before the old man, her heart bursting with words that tangled and lodged in her throat, leaving her speechless.Trey gave a feeble attempt at a smile, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.Then, as if struck by a sudden memor

Chapter 857

Evangeline did not feel the respect from Walter that a wife deserved, nor the pampering a woman should get.So, she could share his bed over and over, could sneak around doing things to help him out.However, face to face, she would not show an ounce of affection.Her disappointment in Walter had piled up so high, she had stopped dreaming of a fairy-tale ending…Once bitten, twice shy."Mdm. Gordon, you know how they say, 'Only a fish can feel the temperature of the water it's in'? Well, Walter and I know what's going on with us, so you don't have to worry. And about these gemstone bracelets..."Before Evangeline could finish her sentence, Aria jumped in."You should really take them."If you and Walter are meant to be, then you deserve this bracelet. However, if it turns out that your connection isn't that deep, then think of this as a token of goodwill from the Gordons."Aria was not just quick with words, her actions were just as swift.She did not even wait to see if Evan

Chapter 858

What did that mean?Evangeline had stepped into the role of the Gordon family's granddaughter-in-law!Alex's hand, hidden beneath the blanket, shook uncontrollably.Had she made up with Walter? Where did that leave him? Did his own declarations of love mean nothing to her?Lost in his drama, Alex completely forgot why he had come in the first place.Trey, the big shot of Gordon Group, was knocking on death's door, and there was Alex, so hung up on a girl that he had forgotten about the family empire hanging in the balance!"Mr. Gordon, Madam Gordon."Carl's voice, all politeness and respect, snapped Alex back to reality.Ignoring Carl, Alex wheeled himself past Walter and straight to Trey. "Grandpa, sorry I'm late."He was all apologies, head hanging low with regret.He had known even before getting to the hospital, thanks to Carl, that Trey's sudden illness was all about The Bennex Corporation mess. As the guy running the show, Alex knew he was in hot water."It's okay."E

Chapter 859

With Trey's life hanging by a thread and no word on changing the heir, it looked like Gordon Group might end up in Alex's lap.That was exactly what Alex had been gunning for.So why was he the one asking questions then?"What's it to you?"Alex let out a scornful laugh, "Evangeline wore that Gemstone Bracelet again, which pretty much means she's owning up to being the Gordon family's granddaughter-in-law."So, as your brother, I guess I should be saying congrats, huh? Congrats on winning over the girl!"His words were all congrats, but his voice was laced with a bitterness he could not hide.His love for Evangeline was just as strong as Walter's, perhaps even stronger.In the end, she chose Walter!How was he supposed to live with that?Walter got the message loud and clear: Alex had it all wrong. However, he did not feel like clearing things up. After all, something far more important had just crossed his mind.Alex had been fooling himself about Evangeline for years. Then

Chapter 860

It did not matter if Evangeline agreed to it or not; Alex was dead set on making his dreamy romantic scenario a reality. He was ready to lay it all on the line for a shot at bliss in front of the woman he adored."Hahaha!"Walter could not contain his laughter."What's so funny?" Alex's voice was icy with offense. He had laid his heart's desire bare, only to be met with Walter's scoffing. How could he just take that?"So, my brother is gearing up to pop the question to my ex, and you expect me to cry instead of laugh?"Walter's eyes moved from Alex's legs up to meet his face."That little dream of yours... I'm not going to let it happen."If Alex's taboo fantasy came to life, it would turn the Gordon family into the punchline of a terrible joke. Walter was determined to stop that from happening.However, Alex, misreading the situation, thought Walter was green with envy and shot him a sidelong glance. "Evangeline's heart has only ever had room for me. So tell me, Walter, does y
