Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 

Roslyn cracked up. “That’s one sweet burden to bear… 

“Sure is. So when are you going to sign up for the gig?” asked Evangeline, her words heavy with 

implication. 

However, Roslyn missed the subtext entirely. She instead sighed and said, “Me? I haven’t even found the man, so no burdens to bear for me! 

“Plus, I’m riding the career wave right now. Even if I had a partner, my agent would put a hard stop to marriage and kids. I’ll think about settling down once I’ve cemented my career.” 

Evangeline could not help but notice Roslyn’s glances toward Yale. Was it her imagination, or was there something there? 

Roslyn was clearly into Yale. With Yale’s awkward dodges around Roslyn, it was obvious he was not 

immune to her charms either. 

Why could these two not just clear the air already? 

Evangeline was deep in thought about Roslyn’s love life quandary. 

Meanwhile, Walter was busy with work at the office, juggling more than he could handle. 

Everything went sideways in a flash. He had only dropped by Rosewood House to catch whatever juicy bits Evangeline and Alex might spill, but Minnie’s unexpected entrance turned a no–brainer into a full- blown scandal, like he was on a secret date with a mistress. Meanwhile, Evangeline and Alex, the real deal, slipped away unnoticed. 

Walter was simmering. He had tried to stay composed and ended up looking like a fool. Back at the office, he had to pull some serious strings with the Gordon family clout to keep the mess under wraps. 

Finally relaxing, he loosened his tie and slumped into his chair, flicking on a cigarette. However, as he looked up, a made–up face caught his eye. 

“Walter, did I… mess things up for you?” 

Walter facepalmed, suddenly remembering Minnie. 

‘Ms. Kast, you’ve been here this whole time?” he asked. They had been back for over an hour, and he had not even noticed her! 

Minnie nodded like crazy. 

“It’s no biggie. The company’s got it covered. Why didn’t you just have the bodyguard drive you home?” Walter was baffled. He had whisked Minnie out of the cafe, dodging a media circus. Anyone with half a brain would have laid low. However, Minnie marched into the company with him for all to see! 

Hearing the edge in Walter’s voice, Minnie’s tears flowed even faster. “I know I’ve messed up, and I just thought… maybe I could help somehow…” 

Her teary eyes tugged at my heartstrings, but as Walter gazed at her, it was Evangeline’s face that haunted his thoughts.

In that desperate moment, Evangeline had watched the scandal unfold around him, yet she chose to walk away with Alex.
