Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 

Chapter 400 

The whole company was buzzing with the news of Evangeline’s pregnancy, 

Hank and Wade had decided that they would deal with major company issues by going straight to the head of the Foster family. That meant even fewer check–ins with Evangeline. “I’m out and about. Just spit it out, Wade.” 

Wade’s frantic tone sent a shiver of foreboding down Evangeline’s spine. Was the company in some kind of serious trouble? 

“Look, good mood or bad, we’ve got to tackle the issues head–on.” Evangeline’s voice was firm, her tone no–nonsense. She was in the dark about Walter’s situation and did not want to dwell on her own feelings, which seemed trivial by comparison. She understood that Wade’s extra caution was because he knew about her pregnancy. 

Wade had little patience for drama, but as he thought about the bombshell he was about to drop, he felt a twinge of pity. 

“Look, it’s kind of a mess, and I can’t just sum it up in a sentence or two. You better check out the trending section on Twitter.” 

Evangeline did not end the call. Instead, she hit the speakerphone button and, standing on the sidewalk, pulled up Twitter on her phone. 

The story about Walter was blowing up; she did not even need to search for it. A pop–up window appeared, practically begging her to take a look. 

Gordon Group’s CEO in disguise for a secret date, and the cafe scene with the mistress making a scene! 

Was the mistress the one who gave the wife a hard time at the birthday bash, hinting at their secret affair? 

Evangeline was frozen in shock, torn between laughter and tears. 

For the first time, she realized how easy it was to become a Twitter sensation. The Gordons had landed in the top three trending spots without spending a dime. 

To think, all that had happened in just 20 minutes. The internet was on fire with the speed of lightning! 

“Wade, what’s the word over at the company?” 

The paparazzi were relentless, doing whatever it took to scoop the story first. 

Even though Walter was the one caught in the scandal, her ties to him meant the Fosters were bound to get dragged through the mud too. 

“Our phones are blowing up with calls, all hinting around about your thing with the Gordon heir.” 

“And what are you telling them?” asked Evangeline. 

With both the Foster and Gordon empires in the hot seat, even the slightest slip–up could send them spiraling into a media frenzy. 

Evangeline knew she had to have a full grasp of the situation to deal with the mess that was unfolding. 

“No answer. Mr. Tarp said to hang up immediately if it smells like a paparazzo’s call,” Wade replied with

careful precision. 

A wave of relief washed over Evangeline. 

With Hank as the company’s rock, she did not have much to fret about. 

“I’ve got some loose ends to tie up here. Make sure Grandpa Cole’s place is locked down tight, news- wise. Keep everything else as is for now, and wait for my cue.” 

She ended the call and pulled a sleek black mask from her purse, slipping it over her face. 

The cafe was a zoo, with the owner failing to tame the wild crowd.
