Walter was fuming, the kind of anger everyone could feel in the air.
Evangeline turned into the third wheel, popping all of Walter’s dreamy bubbles. He was so ticked off that he could not even muster the energy to call out Minnie’s obviously exaggerated stories.
Alex’s words were still buzzing in his ears. At that moment, all he wanted to know was whether Evangeline would get the slightest bit jealous over him,
If she did, he would drop the act with Minnie in a heartbeat and focus solely on Evangeline and their child, even if it meant losing a crucial tip on the Bennison family, his arch–enemies.
“Evangeline, it would really bum both me and Minnie out if you weren’t there for this big deal, so come on, Join us,” he said.
That answer said it all about where Walter stood.
Imagine, a husband and his side–chick all cozu
celebrating a birthday, and the real wife was supposed to
just show up and cheer them on? What kind of messed–up situation was that?
However, Evangeline was not intimidated in the slightest.
She had made up her mind that she was going to witness firsthand how that shameless duo pretended to be all happy.
Send blessings?
Evangeline glanced at the bed covered in fancy gift boxes, each with a number, and snorted.
Sure, there were blessings, of course, but not those.
She had one thing crystal clear then: Walter did not deserve those gifts, and he sure did not deserve her genuine love!
“I could go, but it’s all so last minute, I wouldn’t have time to whip up a gift,” said Evangeline, playing it cool.
When Minnie heard Evangeline might come after all, she could not care less about the gift and eagerly chimed in, “Evangeline, just having you here is the best gift. Walter and I don’t care about anything else.”
Evangeline hung up and walked away from her secret hideout.
She had made up her mind–she was never coming back.
That was where she buried her old self, the one who foolishly loved Walter.
Her phone rang while she was driving. One of her guys had something urgent to report, something that needed to be done face–to–face.
She floored it and pulled up to the Foster Group’s security tower.
All the Foster Group’s guards lived there. It was their base for big jobs and meetings.
Evangeline’s own hired guards were stationed there too, courtesy of her uncles‘ arrangements.

The guards, who had not seen Evangeline at the company for ages, were on their toes, showing her event more respect than before.
