Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 

Anyone else would be fuming if they were the subject of such talk. 

Minnie had been playing the long game at the office. She timed her moves perfectly and swooped in when everyone else steered clear of Walter. 

She was stirring the pot, hoping to get tongues wagging. After all, if the whole office started buzzing about her and Walter being more than just colleagues, Walter would find it a lot harder to cut her loose. 

She pretended to be all flustered but secretly thrilled as she picked up a stack of papers and sashayed into the office. 

The moment Minnie learned that Walter and Evangeline were done, she hatched a plan. She was going to make her move while Walter was down in the dumps, and she was going to make sure he fell head over heels for her. 

That way, she would lock down the title of Mrs. Gordon of the Gordon family for good. Evangeline, that snake, would be forced out with no way back into the fold. 

Kicking her own half–sister to the curb did not even make Minnie blink. She believed she was born to be Mrs. Gordon, and that Evangeline had tricked Walter into marriage with her dirty tricks. Finally, payback 

time. 

Inside the office, Minnie placed the files right on Walter’s desk, which was her usual routine. 

However, Walter was not working. He was lounging on the couch, lost in a daydream as he gazed out the 

window 

He had no desire to speak or to work. He just wanted to sit in silence, as if that was the only way to 

soothe his hollow heart for a while. 

“Mr. Walter Gordon, your documents are here. Do you want to take a look?” 

Walter glanced up as he recognized the voice. 

Minnie’s smile was bright and captivating, but for a split second, he could have sworn he saw Julia’s face 

Instead. 

They looked so much alike. He could not shake the feeling that Minnie was actually Julia, the one he had sent off to Northern Montavia. However, every time he tried to catch her out, she played it cool, not a single slip–up. 

Noticing she was waiting for an answer, Walter gestured dismissively. “No need, Ms. Kast. You’ve been with us for a while now. How’s it going? Are you settling in okay?” 

If he had his doubts, he knew he had to play it cool too. How else would he catch her off guard? 

For once, Walter’s usually stern face softened into a smile as he greeted Minnie. 

“I’m doing great. Everyone’s been super nice. However, Mr. Walter Gordon, I’m on your team now, so calling me Ms. Kast feels sort of formal, don’t you think?” Minnie’s voice trailed off teasingly, her cheeks turning a delicate shade of pink. “I’d rather not be so formal with you, Mr. Walter Gordon. Maybe you could call me something else?” Her voice was gentle, almost flirtatiously pleading.
