Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 

The more Evangeline pieced together the puzzle, the more her skin crawled. 

Lydia snooping around her was definitely not for anything good, but what really made Evangeline nervous was the thought of the heavyweight lurking in Lydia’s shadow 

The Gordons ruled the South, and the Fosters ruled the North. These were just a handful of words, but they said it all about where the Fosters stood in the country Evangeline, the only princess of the Foster family, could not even begin to imagine the kind of monstrous power that would have had the guts to be nosing around them so openly 

When the enemies were lurking in the shadows and they were out in the open, every face–off was a high- takes game of survival Evangeline was becoming more and more cautious about making any sudden 

Holden caught on to how risky things were getting, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked at Evangeline “Listen, Evie, you’ve got to be super careful these days 

Tm going to beef up your security detail, but if you keep your own eyes peeled, too, we’re talking double the protection. We can only play our cards right and catch the bad guys if we know you’re safe and sound.” 

Holden was making sense, but Evangeline was in a bind. 

Holden had been clear. He wanted her to stay indoors unless it was necessary. However, she already agreed to go to Walter’s cruise party. There was going to be a showdown with some real pieces of work 

there, and she was not about to miss it. 

Weighing her options, she figured if she told Holden about it, she might not get to go. After debating with herself mentally, she decided to keep silent. 

With the Foster family’s muscle watching her back, and her own eyes wide open, it was just a party. How risky could it be, really? 

With those thoughts in mind, Evangeline said, “I get it. I keep a low profile for now and just stay put at the Emerald of the Highlands. It’s just with Grandpa. 

The thought of not seeing Cole for a long while brought a wave of sadness to her eyes. 

Holden gently patted Evangeline’s hair, offering soft words of comfort, “Don’t stress. Your grandfather has your Uncle Yale and me to keep him company. Right now, you’ve got one job–to look after yourself and that little one you’re carrying. We’re all waiting for the day when your grandfather’s great–grandkid makes their grand entrance!” 

The thought of her unborn child brought a smile to Evangeline’s face, and a rosy glow replaced the paleness of her cheeks 

Once back at the Emerald of the Highlands, she heeded Holden’s advice and devoted herself to a peaceful pregnancy 

Three days flew by in no time. The day of Walter’s cruise party had finally come 

Evangeline’s baby bump was unmistakable, and anyone paying attention could see the clear signs of her 

pregnancy
