Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 561 - Bab 570

Evangeline tried to sound nonchalant.Truth was, Walter's comment had scared her more than she would admit.The baby she was carrying was only there because her grandfather wanted it. The thought of having another was too overwhelming to even consider."Hahaha, that's my boy! Walter, you're the best grandson-in-law a guy could ask for!"Cole was at that age where grandkids were his favorite thing, so he was all compliments for Walter.However, that did not mean his worries were gone."Evie, you moved back home, and Walter hasn't even dropped by or called. Is he upset?"If Evangeline's determination to stick by Cole had caused a fight with Walter, Cole would feel guilty. He would have to convince her to move back as soon as possible!Right on cue, Julieta walked in with Evangeline's phone blaring."Ms. Evangeline..." Julieta glanced at the name on the screen, hesitated for a second, then said with a warm smile, "You've got a call from Mr. Walter Gordon."Regardless of how Evan

Why would the Fosters let Evangeline walk into danger?Yale only agreed to send a car for Evangeline after making sure Celina bore her no ill will. Celina was in bad shape, with a severe concussion and her neck out of whack from a car crash. She was bedridden, strapped into a brace.This was not like a prenatal visit. Evangeline would be in the public eye, around the clock. Yale was not worried.To keep Celina from flipping the script, Yale had the nurses tie her to the bed. When Evangeline walked into the room, Celina was trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey.Celina knew Yale always played it safe when it came to her well-being, but she never imagined he would go to such lengths. With her head pounding from a severe concussion, just the thought of getting out of bed felt like a brave act.There she was, Celina, slight and fragile. In her state, even if she had wanted to hurt Evangeline, she simply did not have the strength. What was the point of all those extra precautions?Eva

Celina's unique identity was clear as day.Evangeline was already questioning Walter's real reasons for wanting to see Celina.Things were a bit simpler, since she did not even want to see him, saving her from overthinking the whole situation for ages."I guess I'll head back, then. You stay here and heal up, okay?"Evangeline was about to get up and leave. She was in a risky spot those days, with who knew how many shady characters out there gunning for her."Hold on!" Celina's voice rang out, stopping her in her tracks. "Ms. Evangeline, I really don't want to stay in this hospital. Can I come and recover at your place?"The Bennison family's purges were legendary for their ruthlessness. No one in a thousand years had ever escaped their grasp alive. She was incredibly lucky to have narrowly escaped death by the skin of her teeth.With the first purge attempt botched, she knew more would follow. If she wanted to stay alive, she would have to be extra careful. Sticking close to Ev

Evangeline nodded with the innocence of an angel. "I promise, no more surprises!"The days that followed were boring, to say the least.At the Foster family's old house, the two uncles were as elusive as mythical dragons, always busy and barely seen.The other three residents were all in recovery mode: one healing from sickness, one from injury, and one nurturing new life.Their days were reduced to eating and lounging in the sun.Evangeline was climbing the walls with boredom, itching to roam the gardens, but Cole had laid down the law: no long walks, to protect her precious unborn cousin.She did not buy it. How could the baby be that fragile? However, she would not dare cross her snowy-haired grandfather."Celina, don't you ever get bored?"She sat on the couch and spotted Celina, staring out the window, lost in silence.When Celina did not answer, Evangeline gave her arm a playful jab.Celina was still young and resilient. Despite her grave injuries, she had been up and a

"I get it, but isn't it impressive to show him some new tricks?" blurted Evangeline without a second thought.Just then, the maid who was all about taking care of Celina's meals and stuff came hustling over with a tablet, giving Evangeline a deep bow. "Ms. Evangeline, there's a guy at the door asking for Ms. Morris."At the Foster family mansion, everyone knew Celina was no ordinary addition to their household—everyone except Cole, who was out sick. So when word got out that someone was asking for her, they were all on their toes."Who's at the door? Show me." Evangeline snatched the tablet from the servant, and her eyes widened at the unexpected face staring back.Without a word, she handed the tablet to Celina. "Your call, Celina. What do you want to do?"Celina, already thrown off by that surprise visit, was even more intrigued by Evangeline's reaction.Then she saw him…David's face was on the screen, looking right at her.Celina's eyes seemed to look right through the tabl
