Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369

“Good day. Mr. Gordon Yale greeted Trey with a bow that was all politeness. However, the iciness in his voice was unmistakable to everyone there 

Yale was Evangeline’s uncle, and as the head of the Foster family, he had just called Trey Mr. Gordon, making the family ties–or the lack thereof–abundantly clear 

The polite words were just a product of good breeding 

Trey was no stranger to reading between the lines, and he got the message loud and clear. His face turned a shade of dark that was downright scary 

Evangeline had never seen Trey look so grim. However, with her uncles around, it was not her place to say a word 

Trey stood there, getting the stink–eye from the other side, but he remained composed and stayed polite. He felt stuck, in a way, not sure what to say next 

Yale could not stand to see the old guy squirm. 

glanced around the room, where secrets seemed to be tumbling out like sunlight in spring, and said, Funny how today’s mess has got both our families, the Fosters and the Gordons, all tangled up.” 

Then he zeroed in on Trey, who was still gripping Evangeline’s sleeve. “The Gordons have really stepped in it this time, Mr. Gordon. Time to let go of our Evie, don’t you think? 

“Look, we all want Evie and Walter to be happy, right? But can’t you see? The trouble in paradise isn’t Evie’s fault. If you really want to fix things, you better start looking for a real solution.” 

With that, Yale gently peeled Evangeline’s sleeve from Trey’s grasp. 

“The Foster girl will always have a home with us. If the Gordons can’t see what they’ve got, that’s on them. However, Evangeline is our princess, always. If she’s not getting the love she deserves with you, I’m taking her back. Take care of yourself, Mr. Gordon 

“Evie, let’s head out,” said Yale, his firm grip pulling Evangeline back to reality and away from the mess. 

Evangeline’s head had been spinning ever since she caught Walter and Minnie tangled up in the sheets. It took Yale’s tug on her arm to snap her out of her daze. 

She let out a deep sigh. She turned to leave, she could not help but shoot Walter a look of pity. 

They were both nearly divorced, and Walter had been pent up for so long, it was understandable he would want a fling. 

However, did he have to cause such a scene? 

If her uncles had not shown up, she and Trey could have smoothed things over, instead of making a mountain into a molehill. It would not have been a big deal. 

However, with Yale’s arrival, the whole mess was blown out of proportion. There was no downplaying it then
