Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 411 - Bab 420

Evangeline was clear when she laid down the plan: She wanted to keep this private from the Foster family.She had a baby on board, and if her overprotective uncles caught wind she was still fretting over Lydia, they would probably storm the villa to make sure she was playing it safe and baby-focused. It was best to keep things on the down-low for smooth sailing.Unbeknownst to each other, Evangeline and Walter's crews ended up loitering around Sunny Glow Beauty Salon. Little did they know, a shadowy figure in black had just slipped away as they arrived.Inside, Minnie was living the dream, pampered by the salon's top professional with some fancy skin treatment. Breaking free from Walter's grip allowed her to relax. Stepping out of the office earlier, she felt like she had just uncaged her spirit.However, her bliss was on borrowed time. As she was about to nod off, her phone blasted a ringtone. Not wanting to mess up the pamper session, she had the salon guy fetch her earbuds and p

Minnie drew out her words with a playful lilt, her fingers adorned with sparkling nail art gracefully moving to form a fist.The director caught the hint right away. "Got it!" With a respectful bow, she quickly peeled the mask off Minnie's face. "I'll fetch Mrs. Lydia for you. Just a second."In the plush VIP lounge of Sunny Glow Beauty Salon, Minnie lounged on the couch, fresh from her facial, looking every bit the vibrant rose she was.However, the smile playing on her lips was not one of sweetness. It was a cocktail of pride, a dash of scorn, and a hint of fierce intensity.Love might make a girl's brain go fuzzy, but even though she was head over heels for Walter, she would not let her crew get too cheeky.Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Minnie straightened up, her heart racing but her voice steady as she called, "Enter."The door swung open to reveal a hand as delicate as porcelain. "Julia, I missed you so much!"Lydia, decked out in the latest fashion and teetering

The receptionist blushed, but her eyes flickered with a hint of trouble before she firmed up."I'm sorry, sir, but that's against the rules."She sounded like she was pleading with David.David backed off with a chuckle. "Okay, okay, I won't bother you. However, surely I can speak to the director, right?"My girlfriend raves about your facials. I thought I'd surprise her with a gift card for her birthday."The receptionist eyed the well-dressed man before her, his designer outfit and unique aura convincing her of his sincerity. "Sure thing. I'll take you to the VIP room to wait, and I'll get the director for you."Once inside the VIP room, David's first move was to scan the area for any cameras. Satisfied, he messaged Walter, [We're all good here.]David sprawled on the sofa relaxedly as if he were lounging in his own living room, not the VIP suite of Sunny Glow Beauty Salon.The director seldom met with clients herself, but the prospect of a lucrative deal had her hurrying ove

David did not beat around the bush and owned up to it."Sharp as a tack! But relax, I'm just here to ask you a few things. Answer me honestly, and I'll be out of your hair in no time."In that moment, David might as well have been Walter himself. Walter, even though they had never met, she felt like she knew him inside out.Then she knew who she was dealing with, Celina's nerves settled, and she even cracked a smile."So, I'm curious. What if I don't spill the beans? What's your play? I'm new to Avalon City, and I'm not sure if an assistant to the president of Gordon Group making people disappear is the kind of headline that gets attention. Could that stir up trouble for your Gordon Group?""Feel free to test the waters." David pulled out a tiny vial from his pocket, his meaning crystal clear as he spoke, "Okay, I know it sounds nuts, but I'm dying to see how this works on you. I mean, the Gordon Group has been the big dog in Avalon City for years. It's a total waste to let all th

"As long as you're happy," said Walter, his smile just a flicker. The hard edge and fierceness in his eyes were tucked away, leaving only what Minnie hoped to see.Out of nowhere, a delicate finger poked at Walter's chest, followed by Minnie's voice, tinged with a hint of jealousy."Walter, have you ever been this nice to any other girl? Ever been this patient, explaining things to keep another girl's worries at bay?"The thought alone soured Minnie's mood like a spilled bottle of vinegar. If Walter dropped Evangeline's name right then, she was sure she would lose it."Just you," said Walter, without missing a beat.For him, the question was a no-brainer. His status meant he never had to justify himself to anyone."You're fibbing," Minnie accused with a playful pout. "Didn't you ever have to explain yourself to Evangeline? You've been married forever..."She drew out her words, teasingly leaving the sentence hanging, inviting wild guesses.However, Walter was not having any of
