Unmasking the Heiress

The call connected, yet Walter did not jump to speak. What could he possibly say to Evangeline, who was practically his ex at this point?

Unable to hold back her fury any longer, Evangeline on the other end confronted him. "Out with it, Walter. Is Julia there with you?"

Her voice was full of righteous indignation, demanding

A heaviness settled in Walter's chest. His gaze lingered on a black metal door before he turned to look outside. With a scoff, he replied to the fiery spirit on the other end of the line.

"Ms. Rearden, unless I'm mistaken, isn't Ms. Julia your half-sister? It seems a bit off for you to grill me like this, doesn't it?"

Evangeline was not in the mood for Walter's evasive games. "You know perfectly well what my relationship with Julia is like. Let me be clear, my people have been searching high and low for her, and she's nowhere to be found

in Avalon City! Everyone knows the Gordons rule the South and the Fosters dominate the North. Apart from my own family, who else in Avalon City could hide someone from me?"

If Walter was set on challenging her, she could not touch him-at least not right away. She could let everything else slide, however. Everyone but Julia. She was the one person Evangeline would never give

Walter, it seemed, was intent on provoking her. "I appreciate your recognition of the Gordon family's clout. But where's your proof? Without it, your baseless accusations are just dragging our name through the mud, and I could take this to court, you know!"

The word 'proof' hit Evangeline hard, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words, but the anger it sparked burned deep inside her. Walter was the kind of guy who would not face the music until everything came crashing down around him.

It was a done deal, as sure as if it had been nailed down, yet how could he shamelessly deny it?

"So, if not the Gordons, who else could pull this off? Evangeline pressed, feigning difficulty to coax the truth out of Walter.

"Should I be the one worrying about that?" Walter shot back, his words laced with a sneer. "Evangeline, you're still playing the part of the Gordon family's matriarch? Our divorce is in the works. Once the waiting period's up and the papers are signed, you and I are history. S Before Walter could finish, Evangeline cut the call. She had had enough.

The nerve of him, denying everything and then taking shots at her!

Evangeline's fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white. If Walter had been there, she would have bitten him just to get some relief from this boiling rage. What a shame that he was not there.

This fury... She was not about to just choke it down!

Waiting for Walter to reach out was a lost cause, yet she could go after him.

She was determined to make Walter cough up that lowlife Julia.

Little did Evangeline know, as the dial tone buzzed in her ear, a flicker of confusion crossed Walter's dark gaze before it quickly iced over into his usual detached chill.

Slipping his phone into his pocket, Walter strode forward and swung open the black metal door before him

The moment it cracked open, a woman's fierce roar burst forth.
