Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 319 +25 BONUS "And what of it? Walter, don't you realize that dodging today just means facing everything tomorrow? They might buy the songwriting excuse for now, but I'll bet you, in half an hour, even if Uncle Yale doesn't cup, Roslyn will. What then? "What will you do when you can't hide anymore?" Evangeline was trying to goad Walter into releasing her, but she ended up giving him a reminder instead. Walter had no desire to bump into Yale, so staying here was out of the question.

"No more hiding. Let's get out of here," he decided impulsively.

Evangeline scoffed. "What, are you blind?" She gestured toward the stairs. "My Uncle Yale and Roslyn are in the living room. So, where to?" If she wanted to slip away unnoticed, there was a back door to the villa. That being said, why on earth should she help Walter make a getaway? Out of nowhere, Walter flashed a chillingly white grin, his smile dripping with malice. "Con, I know about the back door, don't play dumb!" He reached out to Evangeline. "The keys, please.

"Why should I? You're the intruder here, not me. How can you be so bold to askfor a favor?" Evangeline shot back with a defiant glare. "No keys? Fine, I'll just tell Yale you're dragginghere, that you were worried I'd get lost coming here "and hadsneak in with you..." He was practically inviting disaster! She had already spilled the beans about this whole mess to her uncles. If Yale found out she was teaming up with Walter to trick him, what would that make her? Evangeline clenched her teeth. "You're heartless!" At the villa's back door, Evangeline and Walter crept out.

Having finally managed to get Walter to the gate without any , Evangeline folded her arms and kicked him out without a second thought. Walter was the one person Evangeline could not stand. Alas, he was clueless, always finding excuses to show up. It was exasperating! She said with a tone as sharp as a knife, "Get lost, and don't you dare cback. You're the last person we want to see here!" To her surprise, Walter cheerfully answered, "Sure thing!" This villa might be stylishly luxurious, but it was not his place to call home. Why was he shacking up in someone else's fancy villa with his girl? As Evangeline's eyes widened in shock, Walter caught on to what she was thinking.

+25 BONUS Chapter 319 He did not give her a chance to protest. He lifted her by the waist as he took off running, his voice booming, "Then you're coming with me, like it or not!" Evangeline wriggled and squirmed in his grip. "Who says I'm going anywhere with you? Let go, you big oaf!" However hard she tried, she could not break free from Walter's vice-like grip. Her hands might as well have been tickling him for all the good they did! "Evangeline, you're already caught. Why won't you just behave?" he teased.

With a mischievous smack on her behind, Walter seemed to cast a spell that froze her in place.

"Settle down, it'll be easier for both of us!" To keep them out of the spotlight, Walter had parked the car a mile away.

Evangeline was not making it easy, so he had to lug her all that distance. If she wore him out, he would have no choice but to let her down and let her walk.

Chapter 320 Chapter 320 +25 BONUS Evangeline had been in Avalon City for a good while, but she had never stepped foot in Secret Recipe Kitchen until this day. She figured it was because she was always busy, never having a moment to drop by this cozy little eatery. Walter, however, was on a first-nbasis with the staff, a clear sign he was a regular.

Evangeline and Walter were ushered by the server into a cozy private room. It was not until she settled. into her chair that she had the chance to take in her surroundings.

Secret Recipe Kitchen boasted a decor that was both elegant and simple. Everyday items were transformed by the designer's touch into something that caught the eye and demanded admiration for the owner's impeccable taste. It made sense to her why the illustrious Walter of the Gordon family would choose this place.

The server handed Evangeline the menu, and Walter was all easygoing.

"Pick whatever you like," he said.

We heart twisted a bit when he caught sight of Evangeline's pale, delicate face. It was that look that had driven him to ignore her protests and whisk her away from the villa.

Evangeline had long since stopped caring about Walter's actions, but his gentlemanly offer piqued her curiosity, even though she could not shake off her scom.

She slid the menu back across the table. "Thanks for the offer, but you go ahead and order." Walter, caught off guard, took the menu and tried to make a suggestion.

"I've been here loads of times. The food's great. Why don't you just pick a couple of things..." He was cut off mid-sentence by Evangeline, who said, "Don't bother, I'm not hungry." She meant it. Just being around Walter was enough to kill her appetite.

Lately, she could not figure out what was wrong with her. Ever since she had holed up in the villa, she had been hit with this overwhelming lethargy. She slept as if she could never catch up on rest, which made her lose much of her interest in food. Evangeline had zero appetite, and Walter, sitting across from her, was not helping. How could she even think of eating? The waiter gave Walter a look, clearly waiting for him to make up his mind about the menu.

Walter hesitantly picked a few dishes he thought Evangeline might like. Once the waiter took off, he broke the silence. "How do you like the place?" "It's nothing special." Evangeline slumped onto the couch, letting out a huge yawn. She would much rather sleep than have a meal at the moment.

Alas, she knew that was just a pipe dream. She had to figure out Walter's game. He was not about to let her walk away without answers.

"Out with it. Why'd you pullout here? What's the big plan?" Chapter 320 +25 BONUS A nasty image flashed through her mind, and she could not help but mock with a sarcastic edge, "Are you tellingyou didn't get your fill that night and now you're waiting to takesomewhere private for a repeat performance after I'm well-fed?" She loathed being toyed with, but since Walter seemed to enjoy it, she threw the words back at him, stinging him and reminding herself at the stime.

Walter was a wolf in sheep's clothing. His polished look could be deceiving. Strip away the suit, and he was less than an animal.

No way was she going to hand her heart over to him again, just to be trampled on! "Evangeline!" Walter's voice boomed with anger.

Her words were as good as a slap to his face. Did he not have any pride? However, since he was the one at fault, he had to bite back his pride.

"I was wrong about that night. Let's not dwell on it..." Chapter 319 +25 BONUS "And what of it? Walter, don't you realize that dodging today just means facing everything tomorrow? They might buy the songwriting excuse for now, but I'll bet you, in half an hour, even if Uncle Yale doesn't cup, Roslyn will. What then? "What will you do when you can't hide anymore?"
