Chapter 250
“Go ahead.” Alex let out a heavy sigh, his gaze dropping to his useless legs.
Fake or not, he was past caring.
Just then, Walter took a few fiery steps toward Alex, his anger palpable.
“I’m warning you, keep your distance from Evangeline! She’s still your sister- in–law. If you stir up trouble, Grandpa won’t let you off the hook!”
Walter’s threats hit home.
Ever since they were kids, Walter was Trey’s golden boy. Alex was the one always in the hot seat, the one who had to step aside for his little brother.
Why, though?
Why did Walter get to lounge on the Gordon family’s mountain of cash, living the high life, while Alex had to ditch everything and start from scratch in a foreign land?
Even though they shared the same face, life had played favorites in the cruelest of ways.
“No way!”
Alex had never felt so sure about anything before. Memories came flooding back, all those times he had backed down, and for what? Absolutely nothing. Here he was, penniless and still putting up with his little brother’s threats.
He was done taking it.
His face was stone–cold, his eyes like lasers as he called out to Walter. “You and I both know the real deal about how you and Evangeline got hitched, Walter. No need for me to spell it out, huh?”
Walter’s face went from pale to ghostly, as if Alex had read his diary out loud.
“It doesn’t matter. She’s my wife now, and she’s going to stay your sister–in- law! Forget about it, I’m never letting Evangeline go.”
