Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300 

If it were not for Walter’s high status, and considering how he had treated Evangeline, Roslyn would not even waste a second glance at him. 

Yet there she was, in the cutthroat world of entertainment, where crossing Walter could spell disaster for her career. Thus, for the sake of her paycheck, she played along. 

“Sorry for taking up your time.” 

Walter was not the type to apologize. With his high–flying status, people usually tripped over themselves to please him. Why would anyone be annoyed with him? 

He understood why Roslyn might be ticked off with him, though. Since he needed her help, he would have to suck it up, no matter how much it stung. 

“Evangeline’s been missing for days. You got any clue where she might be?” 

Roslyn blinked, caught off guard, before it clicked. 

“Mr. Walter Gordon, did I hear you right? You’re asking about Evie?” 

Walter gave a firm nod. 

Roslyn leaned her head on her hand. “Unless I’m mistaken, you two aren’t divorced yet, right?” 

That question hit Walter out of the blue, and he did not have a quick comeback. 

Roslyn did not wait for one as she quickly said, rather exaggeratedly, “Your wife’s gone missing, and you’re here asking me? Why aren’t you having your bodyguards turn the city upside down looking for her?” 

“So, you’re saying you don’t know where she is?” 

Walter pondered briefly, picking up on Roslyn’s hint. 

Roslyn shot back with a question of her own. “Why would you think I’d know where Evie is? Oh, I get it, because I’m her best friend, right?” 

Walter’s face tensed up, clearly hit a nerve. 

Roslyn saw right through him and spelled it out. “Even though you’re Evie’s husband, no offense, but you’re not exactly husband of the year. You just don’t get Evie, not one bit!” 

Evangeline was the kind of friend who always brought happiness instead of negativity, and she was not one to just ghost anyone. Her going missing was a surefire sign she was down in the dumps. 

When Evangeline was feeling like this, she would not dream of dumping her troubles on her family. Instead, she would find a secret spot to mull things over alone. 

A flicker of concern crossed Roslyn’s face. 

She could not shake the thought: What in the world had Walter done to tick Evangeline off so badly that she would pull a vanishing act? 

Walter’s eyes and heart were awash with a wave of loneliness.

The pieces all clicked into place. 

The Foster family’s uncles were clueless about Evangeline’s whereabouts, and so was Roslyn. It seemed Evangeline just did not want to unload her feelings on anyone else. 

Where on earth could she be though? 

Walter kept his cool as he bid Roslyn farewell, but the moment he turned away, his face went ghostly 

white.
