All Chapters of Unmasking the Heiress: Chapter 861 - Chapter 870

Walter, who had just walked away, found himself in David's hospital room, not even caring that Celina was there too. He looked straight at David and said, "David, I know you've worked hard to dig up evidence, but it's time to drop the whole Alex situation."Walter was dead serious, not a trace of humor in his voice.David's eyes went wide with shock, and even Celina at his side was stunned."Mr. Walter Gordon, do you realize what you're saying?"He seemed not to grasp it, so he asked again to be sure, "You're kidding, right? How can we just let such a big deal go?"All three of them knew what Walter's words meant, especially Evangeline, who had been on her way out of the hospital but stopped when she saw Walter coming. What was Walter implying?Evangeline's fist tightened at her side without her even thinking about it.She had waited so long and had finally found the smoking gun in the surveillance footage that could take Alex down in one fell swoop.All that, and Walter decide

Evangeline was livid.Walter had never once considered her feelings. He always acted on his own whims.Their marriage had started because of her own wishful thinking, and she had let Walter have his way. At this moment, with Walter being the one in pursuit, why should she ignore her feelings?Walter had left the Gordon Group's high-flying world behind, and there stood Evangeline, still the darling princess of the Foster family. Could anyone be sure that Walter's sudden olive branch was not just a play for something else?Evangeline's face lit up with a look of realization. "I get it now. Mr. Gordon gave you the boot, and now you're eyeing the Foster fortune, aren't you? You might as well forget about it. I've stumbled in love once before, and there's no way I'm tripping up again!"I'm going to marry someone who loves me, and who I love in return, someone to grow old with!"Her words were fierce and full of conviction, but Walter cut in quickly when he spotted the slip in her armo

How could Evangeline think so little of him?However, to her, his silence was enough of an answer. She did not need his words.With a firm, small hand, she pushed him away, setting a boundary he could not cross. They locked eyes, a gulf of space between them."Relax, the Fosters will have your back," she assured him."No..."Walter tried to cut in, but Evangeline was not having any of it."Don't even start with 'impossible'. Sure, my uncles call the shots at the company, but I've got my share. Believe me, I'll get them on board to help you reclaim what's yours."And about Mr. Gordon... I'll stand by you, put on a show so the old man can leave this world without regrets."Trey always dreamed of Evangeline and Walter finding happiness together. She was well aware of that."But we don't have to..." Walter began, his protest cut short."Enough!" Evangeline snapped, silencing him.Evangeline's fingers lightly touched Walter's lips. "You were there for me, pretending to be strong

After hearing all that, even Celina, who was not the sharpest tool in the shed, could tell what Walter was really up to.It definitely had something to do with Evangeline.At that point, she was not worried Walter would be a bad influence on David—she was more concerned about his well-being."Is this really okay?"Seeing Celina warming up to the idea, David felt a glimmer of hope."Okay, okay, look, there's a nurse here besides Mr. Walter Gordon, right? And it's just for one night, not like it's a whole week or something. What's there to be worried about?"David spoke as he gently took Celina's hand."You've been the only one looking after me for so long, and it's been super tough on you. Now Mr. Walter Gordon has stepped up to give you a break, and I couldn't be happier. Celina, please, just go home and get some sleep tonight, will you?"David was always sweet to Celina, but at this moment, his voice was so tender that it almost seemed too much.Seeing both guys looking at he

If Celina got sick, they would be in a real bind. Taking care of David themselves would be tough, and trusting a caregiver felt risky. Talk about a tough spot."Don't worry, I'm all good."Celina snuggled into a pillow and gave herself a once-over. Feeling fine, she raised an eyebrow in question."Where's Ms. Evangeline? Didn't she return with you?"Since Evangeline had penned the theme song Roslyn wanted, she had been living a carefree life. She had tagged along with Roslyn, who was on vacation, eating, drinking, and having a blast. They were thick as thieves, like sisters, but then, Celina only found Roslyn by herself in the living room."She... oh..."Roslyn was about to confess when she spotted a familiar figure at the staircase's turn and clammed up.Celina, all ears and halfway to getting her curiosity satisfied, was about to press on when Evangeline's voice floated in, "What's the scoop? Mind if I join the gossip session?"Evangeline had just stepped out of the bathroom
