Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476 

David was strong and his anger fierce. The bodyguard, caught off–guard, was knocked flat. Knowing his error, the bodyguard did not even try to stand, instead pleading from the floor. “Mr. Zimmer, we messed up! We got caught up in all the excitement outside, and she was out like a light, so we… we just lost track of her! 

*Please, just let us off the hook this one time. Next time, I swear, you could knock me out cold, and I’d still be glued to that door, not budging an inch!” 

The bodyguards were all pleading, their faces long and gloomy, echoing the lead bodyguard’s desperate plea. 

“Next time, you say?” David smirked coldly, his teeth a stark white against the dim backdrop, giving off an ominous vibe. However, it was his words that really sent shivers down the spine. “After losing the person Mr. Walter Gordon wanted, do you really think there’s going to be a ‘next time“?” 

Right then, Walter burst into the room, flanked by his own bodyguards. He plopped down on the couch, his face a stormy shade of furious. 

David, catching sight of Walter, snapped to attention and quickly reported. 

“Mr. Walter Gordon, we’ve figured it out. These knuckleheads thought Ms. Kast was out cold, so they snuck off for a bit of fun. By the time I got your call and sent them back to check, Ms. Kast had vanished!” 

Walter cut him off mid–sentence, “I don’t care about the play–by–play right now. Where is Minnie? She’s not exactly the type to go far, especially on a cruise ship. Get moving and find her!” 

At the mention of Minnie, David’s guilt washed over him again, his face going ghostly pale. “Mr. Walter Gordon, as soon as I realized Ms. Kast was missing, I sent out a search party. We’ve combed through the ship three times over…” David’s voice wavered, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he braced himself to 

continue. 

“Okay, it’s official. Ms. Kast is definitely not on the cruise ship!” 

With a loud snap, the ashtray next to Walter crashed to the floor. In a fit of rage, he had smashed it to bits. The pieces flew everywhere, some even nicking the face of the bodyguard kneeling before him. Blood trickled down the guard’s face, but the room was dead silent. 

Walter could not contain his anger as he bellowed, “What’s the point of telling me this? I need to find her! If she’s alive, I want to see her. If she’s dead, I want to see the proof! If she’s not on the ship, then search beyond it!” 

David had not seen Walter this livid in ages. He quickly responded, “Right away, sir! I’ll get a team on it!” 

“And if you can’t find her, don’t bother coming back!” Walter’s voice was thick with fury as he dismissed them with a wave. 

David wasted no time, ushering his team out the door. The injured bodyguard scrambled to his feet, ready to follow. 

“Hold on!” 

David was almost out the door when Walter’s urgent call stopped him in his tracks. He knew better than
