Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282 

Walter’s eyes snapped shut with a satisfied grin. 

Evangeline jumped at the chance to grill him. “So, can you spill the beans about what’s going on at the hospital now?” 

Before she could even brace herself, a big hand swooped in, blanketing her eyes in darkness. 

Evangeline’s eyes clamped shut reflexively, and she was swallowed up by the shadows. The pitch–black world seemed to heighten her senses, making her hyper–aware of everything around her. 

She could feel Walter’s arms scoop her up around the middle, carrying her up the stairs with steady steps, and gently setting her down on a soft bed. 

“Walter, what are you up to?” she demanded. 

Her eyes flew open just in time to see Walter tucking her in. 

He yanked the quilt over her head, covering her face. 

Muffled by the quilt, Evangeline heard Walter’s voice from above, stem like a warning. ‘Go sleep! I’ll fill you in after I get some sleep.” 

Evangeline wriggled under the quilt, but Walter’s firm hand kept her pinned.

Fuming, Evangeline chucked a pillow across the room to blow off steam and made a mental note: if she ever fell for Walter’s smooth talk again, she would be the biggest fool on four legs! 

The phone buzzed with a new message, and it was from Walter. 

He was basically saying that Lydia’s vanishing act was not her problem and that they had beefed up security for her. 

Evangeline tossed her phone onto the nightstand with a loud thud. 

She was the Foster family’s darling princess! Since when did Walter get to play her knight in shining armor? He could not possibly still think she was that clingy girl from the countryside, dead set on marrying him, could he? 

With a huff, Evangeline’s mind raced with plans. 

There was no way she could just ignore Lydia’s situation, but figuring out how to dive in and where to start digging was another story. 

Nonetheless, that was not the top priority. Lydia managed to vanish right under the noses of the Foster

family’s bodyguards. That was a slap in the face, especially since Evangeline was too livid to hear their side of the story yesterday. Today, they deserved a shot at explaining themselves. 

She hit the call button and a voice came through.
