Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 741 - Bab 750

Walter stood alone, his figure cast in shadows. He could not help but wonder, when would it be his turn to step into the spotlight?The question caught him off-guard. What was happening to him? Since graduating and being strong-armed by Trey into leading Gordon Group, his sole focus had been on the company's success. The old, sentimental Walter had been buried under a mountain of work.However, at this moment, it seemed like that part of him was stirring back to life.He checked the time. David and Celina's flight should have landed by then. Pulling out his phone, Walter dialed David's number without a second thought.Meanwhile, David, fresh from a trip to Southern Crownlands, was back again, feeling like a local. He was busy setting up a cozy spot for him and Celina, completely forgetting that they were actually in Celina's neighborhood.Celina watched David chatter away, too polite to cut him off. However, Walter's call was a godsend.As David wavered between answering and igno

Had Walter stumbled upon something new?Before David could even greet him, Walter's grave voice filled his ear. "David, forget about dealing with the Southern Crownlands government.""You can't be serious, Mr. Walter Gordon," David stammered in disbelief. "You know how crucial the diamond mine case is for Gordon Group. How can a contract like this be so... ambiguous?"David's jaw dropped, and for a second, he could not even remember who he was. He just blurted out his question to Walter.If Gordon Group went through with that deal with the Southern Crownlands government, they would be pouring a fortune into a black hole. They would be working their tails off for nothing, with 80 percent of their cash stuck in quicksand.For a big-shot company like Gordon Group, that was playing with fire. If their cash flow hit a snag, they would be staring down the barrel of bankruptcy.Walter had to have seen that disaster coming. "I'm dead serious," Walter said with a steely edge to his voice.

Walter had prepared the document the night before, scrubbing it clean of any Southern Crownlands government intel, leaving just the cooperation treaty. Emma would definitely catch a glimpse of the info while copying it, and he was eager to see how she would react.…Over at the Foster family's old place, Evangeline was up with the birds thanks to her plan with Hank.However, on this day, she was acting all kinds of strange. She did not wake her best friend Roslyn but instead snuck off to another room to get ready.Truth be told, she was more excited about what might spark between Yale and Roslyn than her own trip to Aurora Mountain.However, as she thought about it, she realized she might have been slightly unfair to Hank. So, the first thing she did after waking up was to give Hank a call.Hank was all set, just waiting for the right time to get in his car and head over to the Foster family's place to pick up Evangeline. Instead, his phone rang.Worried that Evangeline might ba

At that moment, Hank had finished his phone call and came over. Their moment of closeness had been cut short, leaving Hank feeling frustrated and a little awkward around Evangeline."Evie, I've taken care of what you asked me to do. Anything else?" he asked.Evangeline, coming back to the present, shook her head. "No, that's everything. Let's head out, Uncle Yale will be here any minute."They walked in silence, an unspoken agreement between them not to bring up what had just happened.The parking lot was deserted as they made their way through it, and suddenly, the sound of a car engine broke the silence.Evangeline saw the butler pulling into a spot with Yale's car.Glancing at her watch, she thought, 'Uncle Yale, you're early. I hope Roslyn's awake by now.'She picked up the pace, leaving the parking lot and told Hank to go find his car and come back at the usual time.She went straight to meet Yale.The villa was quiet except for the sound of Julieta busily making breakfas

"That's exactly why I thought of setting her up with Hank when she told me that."Evangeline's face turned all serious as she said this, and she made sure to warn Yale. "Look, I'm only spilling the beans to you, so keep it under wraps, okay? And don't you dare meddle in their business. Whether they click or not, it's on them!"I'm actually rooting for them to hit it off. It'd be another reason for the Foster family to celebrate!"Yale let out a dismissive snort. "What's their wedding got to do with the Foster family?"Evangeline shot back, clearly annoyed, "Come on, one is my best friend and the other is the CEO of Foster Group. How can you say it's got nothing to do with us?"Uncle Yale, you're the head honcho of the Foster family. You've got to be all smiles on their big day and even pick out a gift for the happy couple yourself!"Yale pictured it: Roslyn in her bridal gown, beaming next to Hank, and him... standing there, handing over a gift with both hands.The thought made
