Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 251 - Bab 260

"Are you out of your mind?" Evangeline shoved Walter's incoming punch aside, her stunning sea-green eyes wide with shock."Don't you get it? That's your brother Alex behind me, and he's hurt! He can't move his legs and relies on a wheelchair to get around."Life's already thrown him enough curveballs. Why are you trying to add to it by getting physical? Picking on your own brother who can't even defend himself in a wheelchair, what kind of person does that make you?"Walter scowled, waving Evangeline off with a flick of his hand. "This is between me and Alex, step aside!""No way!" Evangeline stood her ground."If I've seen it, I can't just ignore it. If you're dead set on going after Alex today, you'll have to go through me! Knocking me down won't cut it. You'll have to knock me out cold, so I can't get in your way!"Walter's fist paused mid-swing, his eyes sharp with a pain he could not hide.His body shook with rage.He bit back a growl and asked in a low voice, "Evangeline,

"Absolutely, Walter's my top grandson!" Trey's eyes lit up with pride at the mention of Walter."Grandpa, you've got seven grandsons. What's so special about Walter?"Alex probably wanted to get to the bottom of that question, too.Trey pondered, "Out of all of them, only the oldest and Walter take after me the most. But Walter's got his differences; he's often not tough enough. Once he's older, runs the company longer, and sees more of the world, he'll get it."Walter… was not tough enough?Evangeline recalled Walter throwing punches at Alex in the garden without a second thought.It hit her then that she was clueless about the Gordon family's hardcore way of raising kids. Walter's scary transformation had plenty to do with the Gordons' survival-of-the-fittest style.Thinking this over, Evangeline was not sure who to blame anymore.However, it would not be long until Walter would not be her problem. All she had to do was make sure her own kid did not end up in the Gordons' clu

Evangeline's gaze hardened into a look that could kill, though clearly not meant for Caden. After all, without his heads-up, she would not have found Walter so fast.All she wanted was to cut off Walter's manhood, to save him from his mess…Then it hit her—Walter's outrageous behavior was meant for her to see.A live show from Walter of the Gordon family was not something she could stumble upon every day. If she caught it on video and posted it online, would she not rake in a whole bunch of new fans?Evangeline did not hesitate and reached for her phone, but in the few seconds she had been lost in thought, the lively room had emptied out. Caden had slipped away when she was not looking.With that, the once noisy space was eerily silent, with just Evangeline and Walter left.Walter somehow found the energy to sit up from the couch, but he was so weak he ended up leaning heavily against Evangeline's shoulder. Evangeline gave a firm shrug. "Walter, snap out of it! If you want to sle

Walter's claim was fierce and bossy. His eyes, red and piercing, locked onto Evangeline as if she belonged to him and him alone. Evangeline froze, her heart skipping a beat.How much better would things be if Walter said these words when he was sober? Life never dealt in what-ifs though.Evangeline's eyes fell, and a pang of guilt hit her. She had not meant to tease Walter, not really. She wanted to see him stumble a bit, but somehow, she was the one who ended up getting hurt.She swatted Walter's hand away with a sharp smack and barked out her command. "Can you walk or not? If you can, then get yourself home—now!"The clock had already struck eleven, deep into the night.Evangeline checked the time and, with a heavy sigh, decided to change course. Trey, with his years piling up, would worry himself sick if he knew Walter was very intoxicated.She was not planning on bringing Walter to her place either.Mulling over her options, Evangeline let out a sigh and picked a path at the

As Walter's kisses became more intense, Evangeline's will to fight back kicked in. Panicked, she reached out and gave Walter a fierce pinch under his arm.They sprang apart as if shocked by a bolt of electricity. Walter's dark eyes locked onto her, his breaths coming in heavy gasps. It was only then that Evangeline noticed her shirt buttons had been undone without her realizing it, her chest boldly on display for Walter."Walter, are you an animal? Is there nothing else in your head but this?" Evangeline was livid. Despite being sick and drunk, he just would not keep it together. What made her blood boil was how she herself had been so rattled by his kiss that she nearly lost all sense of reason!That little scuffle seemed to snap Walter out of it. He thought about their earlier fight, about Alex, the elephant in the room, and found himself at a loss for words.Walter was not one to trouble himself, so he silently stepped out of the tub. He dried off, slipped into a robe, and colla
