Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522 

The truth was always brutal. 

Evangeline thought she was ready to face the past, but she underestimated the weight of it all. She underestimated the cruelty of her father and stepmother. 

In Avalon City’s Supreme Court, the ugly details of Yessica’s death started to come out as Andrew and Lydia turned on each other. 

Yessica, the Foster family’s darling, cut all ties with her folks to be with Andrew, the man without a dime 

to his name. 

They came to Avalon City, strangers in a strange land, relying only on each other. 

Yessica, who was raised in luxury, found herself cooking and even working to support the household, all for him. However, even with her sharp business mind that had the company thriving, she stepped aside to boost Andrew’s ego, all for love. 

She never thought she had trusted the wrong person–a hopeless romantic who would waste her life. 

Andrew, after marrying, got lost in the high life. 

Then Lydia showed up, fresh out of college, just as Andrew was on top of the world. Lydia, with her sweet voice and charming ways, had Andrew wrapped around her finger. 

Just when it seemed nothing could break their bond, Yessica, who had struggled for so long to have a baby, finally got pregnant with Evangeline. This made Lydia panic. 

She knew she was just the other woman and could not compete with Yessica, the real powerhouse behind the company. Thus, she poured all her efforts into making Andrew see things her way, filling his 

head with sweet whispers. 

After carrying her baby full term, Yessica gave birth to a little girl named Evangeline. 

Even before she could fully recover, Andrew blew up at her, angry that she had not given him a son. 

At that time, Andrew and Lydia managed to take all control away from Yessica at the company. 

Yessica’s loyal employees could not bear to see her kept in the dark any longer, so they confessed to her about Andrew and Lydia’s affair. 

In the dead of winter, with just a thin coat on, Yessica cradled baby Evangeline and begged Andrew to come back to his senses for the sake of their family. 

Alas, it was all for nothing. Andrew was too far gone, too ensnared by Lydia to come back. 

Yessica had left everything behind for love, but Andrew had abandoned her and their daughter. 

As time went on, Yessica fell into a deep depression, her health, both mental and physical, crumbling. 

Meanwhile, Lydia, full of life, was expecting a child named Julia. 

Andrew did not bring up anything about divorcing Yessica, leaving Lydia anxious about what might happen if Andrew found someone new.
