Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)

Chapter 483

They were not doubting their niece, Evangeline. However, surviving a wreck like that, especially right in the thick of it, seemed impossible.

Even Yale, a tough-as-nails ex-soldier, did not let himself hope.

The brothers had two things on their agenda when they showed up to see Walter. They wanted to give him a piece of their mind for Evangeline, and then get his help to figure out what happened to her. Evangeline adored Walter. Knowing he had done something, anything, for her would have given her some

peace.

However, the Foster brothers were on fire with anger. In no time, Walter was sporting a colorful bruise collection.

He did not even try to fight back.

After the crash, he was so devastated that he thought about giving up everything-the company, the Gordon legacy-and just dying with Evangeline.

However, he did not need to burden Evangeline's uncles with those thoughts.

However, when he heard what Yale had to say, he forced himself to calm down. "Yale, did you guys figure something out?"

The Gordons dominated the South, the Fosters the North. Both families were titans, proof enough that the Fosters were just as powerful as the Gordons.

Walter was a mess after getting the news about Evangeline's accident, and the people he had sent out for updates were taking forever.

The Foster brothers were a different story, however. One was always on the move, the other steady as ice. They were likely to snap out of any shock quickly and start piecing together what happened with clear heads.

This was not the time for Yale to hold back. He cut to the chase.

"We think Evie's accident was no accident at all. Someone planned it. And the prime suspect is..." Yale was too furious to go on, so Holden, pale with rage, finished the thought, "It's your lover, Minnie!"

The Foster brothers had known about Walter and Minnie's secret office fling for a while. They had held back because of Evangeline, who was pregnant, keeping an eye on Minnie and waiting for the right moment to make those two cheaters pay for their betrayal. Who would have guessed that Minnie would stir up such a storm, endangering Evangeline's very life?

"Minnie? No way!"

Walter was floored, his denial coming as fast as his heartbeat.

To keep a close eye on the mysterious Minnie, Walter swallowed his pride and kept her close, under his watch every second of the day.

Except for that one time she slipped away from the cruise ship, Minnie had not escaped his watchful eye.

Nonetheless, it would take her three hours just to row to shore, and then she had to race for the secluded Newstead Zone. How could she have found the time to mastermind a car crash of that magnitude?

What Walter did not realize was that his eagerness made him seem like a shameless man defending his mistress, even though the mistress had sabotaged his wife and caused her to have a car accident. "You're still defending Minnie at a time like this?!" Holden was gobsmacked.

He had always pegged Walter as a sharp guy, someone who could run the massive Gordon family business. However, he was a total fool, lost in a woman's shadow, unable to see right from wrong. Yale, on the other hand, was not about to mince words

He delivered a swift kick right to Walter's gut!
