Semua Bab Unmasking the Heiress: Bab 851 - Bab 860

"Evie, just a heads-up, Walter is still Mr. Walter Gordon of the high-and-mighty Gordons. There's no way he's going to end up on the streets. You can't let him crash at the Fosters', got it?"Roslyn's blood boiled just thinking about Evangeline being put through the wringer by Walter, heart and soul, body and mind. The thought of sharing a roof with him after everything was unthinkable."Don't worry about it. He's not sticking around." Evangeline gave Roslyn's shoulder a comforting pat. "I'm actually dying to see Walter knocked down a peg. Bet he's got that 'I just ate a lemon' look plastered all over his face."Who was Walter, anyway?None other than the untouchable Mr. Walter Gordon of the Gordons, the big boss of Gordon Group. When was the last time anyone saw him lost for words?Good thing she swung by the hospital today, or she would have missed the show of the century.Out of nowhere, David, who had been sneakily scrolling through Websphere to kill time, let out a yelp, his

"Dad, maybe it's just not meant to be with Evie and our family. You've got to stop beating yourself up over this. If you get sick from all the worry, what are we going to do?"Aria could not help but notice how Trey seemed to age more with each passing day, and it worried her.She had to admit that after all the years of back-and-forth, Trey had been nothing but good to her and her son, especially after they were left on their own. When Walter's dad died in the war, Trey took them under his wing, treating them like royalty and even letting Walter run the company.He had passed the reins back to Alex, yet Walter still came away with a multitude of experiences. Aria felt grateful for that.Thus, seeing Trey like that, she felt like she was not doing enough for him and was determined to help.Trey gave his hand a shake and put the Gemstone Bracelets back in their wooden box, lingering without closing the lid, his finger gently tracing over it."Aria, would you mind turning on the te

"Grandpa, you can stop worrying about the company. With Alex running things, it's all under control," Walter assured him.He was not just trying to make Alex look good. Walter genuinely believed that even if Alex was in league with the Bennison family, he would never let Gordon Group, his responsibility, crumble to nothing.Gordon Group was Trey's life's work, and Walter knew it was weighing heavily on Trey's mind.He said that to ease Trey's worries.It worked. Trey closed his eyes for a moment, a sign of relief, then squeezed Walter's hand once more."Evie..."Hearing that name, Walter's tears came flooding out. Even facing the end, Trey thought of Walter and Evangeline."You want to see Evangeline, don't you?" Walter asked gently.Trey gave a faint nod."I'll go get her right now!"Walter had been on his way to visit David when he had stumbled upon Trey being rushed into the hospital. He had hurried to Trey's side, only to realize he had no clue where to find Evangeline.

Evangeline did not feel the respect from Walter that a wife deserved, nor the pampering a woman should get.So, she could share his bed over and over, could sneak around doing things to help him out.However, face to face, she would not show an ounce of affection.Her disappointment in Walter had piled up so high, she had stopped dreaming of a fairy-tale ending…Once bitten, twice shy."Mdm. Gordon, you know how they say, 'Only a fish can feel the temperature of the water it's in'? Well, Walter and I know what's going on with us, so you don't have to worry. And about these gemstone bracelets..."Before Evangeline could finish her sentence, Aria jumped in."You should really take them."If you and Walter are meant to be, then you deserve this bracelet. However, if it turns out that your connection isn't that deep, then think of this as a token of goodwill from the Gordons."Aria was not just quick with words, her actions were just as swift.She did not even wait to see if Evan

With Trey's life hanging by a thread and no word on changing the heir, it looked like Gordon Group might end up in Alex's lap.That was exactly what Alex had been gunning for.So why was he the one asking questions then?"What's it to you?"Alex let out a scornful laugh, "Evangeline wore that Gemstone Bracelet again, which pretty much means she's owning up to being the Gordon family's granddaughter-in-law."So, as your brother, I guess I should be saying congrats, huh? Congrats on winning over the girl!"His words were all congrats, but his voice was laced with a bitterness he could not hide.His love for Evangeline was just as strong as Walter's, perhaps even stronger.In the end, she chose Walter!How was he supposed to live with that?Walter got the message loud and clear: Alex had it all wrong. However, he did not feel like clearing things up. After all, something far more important had just crossed his mind.Alex had been fooling himself about Evangeline for years. Then
