Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 781 - Bab 790

Walter brushed off the pressing issue, flashing Emma a sly grin. "Ms. Carter, be honest, did you even glance at this document?"Emma did not play coy. "Sure did.""And what do you make of this partnership proposal?"Walter had crafted the documents based on the infamous Southern Crownlands diamond mine scandal, not naming names but laying out the details crystal clear.If Emma was a spy for Southern Crownlands, she would slip up then.Walter expected her to ponder before answering. However, Emma shook her head so fiercely, he would think it was a rattle drum."Only a complete idiot would sign off on such a lopsided deal!"She caught herself mid-rant."Scratch that, even idiots would pass! It's a setup where one side takes all the hits, and the other side just kicks back and cashes in. Who'd agree to that? Even a fool knows better than to give away their own stuff."Charity is one thing, but you want to look good doing it, right? A company playing the charity card under the gui

"It's not my brother Walter, is it?"Being the second son of the Gordon family was not something he could hide, especially not with a face that was a spitting image of Walter's. If they were not related, that would be the real shocker.Wyatt scoffed, "Sir, you and Mr. Walter Gordon are practically identical for all intents and purposes. How could I mistake him for anyone else?"However, this guy is a total stranger. I did some digging, and it turns out he's the big-shot CEO of the Foster Group who goes by the name—""Hank.""Hank!"The name burst out of Alex and Wyatt at the same time."And how are those two getting on?"A guy and a gal, both unattached, heading off to Aurora Mountain for some fun… and they were in the same age bracket, too.It did not take a genius to guess they might be more than just friends.Things were looking up, the pair walked hand in hand, and Yale of the Fosters watched their closeness without any sign of objection. Was he the new love interest the

Wyatt shrugged, looking frustrated."You knew it all along?"Alex let out a sharp, dismissive snort. "Sure, as your boss, I've got no grounds to fault you. However, as a man? You've made my girl suffer, and I'll never forgive that!"His words were so resolute that they sent a chill down Wyatt's spine.If Wyatt had not known the messy love triangle they were all tangled up in, he might have bought into the idea that Alex was head over heels for Evangeline."Before we even get into whether Ms. Rearden is 'your girl', I think if a guy really likes a girl, the first thing he's got to do is make her happy."Dude, you keep saying you're all about Evangeline, but what have you actually done for her? Were you there with tender care, or did you step up when times got tough? Or maybe you were her constant shadow, day and night?"No offense, but you haven't been any of that, right?"Wyatt watched as a storm brewed on Alex's face, but fear did not touch him.Truth be told, he had come to

Wyatt was gone.All Alex could feel was a pang of regret.After all, with just one piercing glance, he knew that Wyatt's easygoing words were just a show. He was not coming back.However, finding another capable sidekick for Alex was a piece of cake with his army of minions.However, it was Evangeline who was on his mind at this moment.He had to keep the news he had gotten through the grapevine from Evangeline at all costs, leaving him with only one good excuse to use.…Evangeline, relaxing at the old Foster family mansion, carefreely savored an apple Julieta had peeled for her.Roslyn and Holden were hovering around Evangeline, tiptoeing around her, dying to ask her something but too unsure to actually do it. Nonetheless, the worry was eating them up inside.Julieta, feeling pretty useless, decided to duck into the kitchen to whip up some chicken soup.Of course, everyone had their breaking point.Finally, Holden and Roslyn could not take it anymore and settled it with ro

They had not had much chance to talk before Evangeline's mishap, and since then, they had been preoccupied with her situation.The dust had settled, and Roslyn was at a loss for words when she saw Yale again.Holden noticed something off about Roslyn. She was usually so fiery, but then she seemed to have cooled off in front of Yale.Taking the lead, he said, "Evie has gone to her room. We figured she might need some space right now."Emotions were tricky, and sometimes, he just had to let people handle them on their own.Yale nodded slightly as if he agreed with Holden's take on the situation. Turning to Roslyn, his normally stoic face showed a trace of awkwardness."Ahem! Roslyn, could you join me in the study for a moment?" In front of his little brother Holden, he signaled to Roslyn with a wave.Roslyn blushed instantly, shaking her head so hard that he would think it was a rattle drum. "No way am I going over there."Yale's reaction was a dead giveaway—he had something secr
