Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 641 - Bab 650

Julia was supposed to meet up with the boss in two weeks, but Cole's funeral had sped things up. Less than a week had passed, and she was already done with her tasks.She was meant to go back to her boss right away, as per their deal.However, every time she pictured Walter's dashing face, she just could not bring herself to leave.Why did she have to fall so hard for someone and not even get a shot at being with him?She would be content with just one wild, fiery moment with him—no regrets, for the rest of her days.Right then, her laptop dinged with a video call request. The caller's shadowy avatar blinked on the screen, unnoticed by Julia, who was away from her computer. However, the sound caught her attention.Julia peered at the message on her screen, her gaze sharpening. She composed herself, managing to craft a sweet smile before accepting the call."Dear, aren't you busy today?" she asked, peeking at the time on her computer, which showed it was work hours on the other s

When the waiter returned, he brought a fancy coffee set.The room was quickly filled with the rich scent of coffee, mingling with the earthy fragrance of aged Gold Standard Colombia Coffee, making the air delightfully aromatic.Even Julia, no coffee connoisseur, found herself sniffing the air, drawn to the inviting smell.The waiter, with great reverence, placed the coffee cup before Julia and asked, "Ms. Rearden, would you like to order anything?"Julia recalled the menu she had briefly skimmed and shook her head. "No, let's wait for him to get here before we order."With the waiter gone, Julia's unease vanished, and she stood up to pace the room.She had not expected the reclusive man to agree to a meeting, and to choose such an... extravagant place at that.It was her first time there, and she was clueless about the cost of dining in such an establishment.However, a quick look at the menu told her that even a simple meal could set a person back an astonishing 15 thousand do

Nothing mattered more to Alex than Evangeline, especially her well-being.He had moved mountains in secret just to be with her. If her health failed, how could they hope to spend a lifetime together?The child, carrying Walter's blood, should have been his nephew. However, then, as a father figure, Alex did not bat an eye…"You think I'm just making up excuses? I've got to admit, I'm a little jealous of Evangeline. She's found someone who loves her so deeply. She's incredibly lucky."Julia's heart ached with the thought. If only Walter could show her a fraction of the devotion Alex showed Evangeline, she would gladly give him everything. Alas, it was all just a pipe dream.Her dreams lay in pieces, so how could she stand by and watch Alex cling to his?"Alex, you might be indifferent about Evangeline's baby now, but what about later? That kid, born from her and your brother, will be a living reminder, every single day, of their betrayal. You might hold it together for a year, but

Alex, on the other hand, clenched his jaw and, with a resentful glance, reluctantly followed Julia's lead, picking up his spoon to eat.Julia's cigarette was almost out, and as the smoke danced around the room, Alex felt a wave of irritation wash over him for no good reason.He got up and cracked open the door to their private room, but for some reason, he did not swing it all the way open, just enough to peek through.Unbeknownst to him, down the hall, two sharply dressed men were huddled by the door, whispering."Did you get the scoop? When is Mr. Walter Gordon going to show up? We've been twiddling our thumbs for half an hour. The Gordon Group's folks can't possibly be this late, can they?"The one talking was Yestin Zeller, the head honcho of Bennex Medical Equipment. Ever since he started his company, he had not put up with that kind of disrespect.Jeff Bradford, Yestin's assistant, was quick to calm his boss. "Mr. Zeller, chill out. Our staff worked their tails off to set u

That was pretty much what Walter did. He pinned Julia's unruly hands above her head with one hand, while his other hand was dangerously close to her neck.Julia felt the bad vibes rolling off Walter and was not about to let him do whatever he wanted. She fought back with everything she had.They were locked in a silent battle when suddenly, an awkward cough broke through from behind them."Sorry, can you guys move?"The voice was sweet and refined, but entirely calm altogether.Walter recognized that voice instantly and turned to see a face he knew all too well, freezing him in his tracks."Evangeline..."Evangeline rubbed her forehead and pointed ahead. "Um... Really sorry to butt in, but I need to get to the restroom. Could you let me by, please?"She felt bad for interrupting, but she could not fight it if she needed to go to the toilet. She would not be standing there waiting if it was not urgent.Without thinking, Walter let go of Julia and moved aside. However, Julia was
