"Walter, you've barely been present in our three years of marriage. These last few days, I've seen more of you than ever. Why? Do you loathethat much? What are you trying to do now?" Walter felt an inexplicable sting in his chest as he looked at her, his eyes flickering with emotions. "Didn't you forceinto this marriage?

"I want you to fully experience what it means to be the Seventh Young Madam of the Gordon family." 1/3 *25 BONUS Evangeline had no illusions.

He was bitter shout the past-her ultimatum, the way she had tom him from Julia, and the public humiliation on the cruise ship How could he let that go? Even so, she was the one he had been promised to since they were children.
Without giving her a moment to doubt, Walter's eyes swept over her. "When you've made up your mind, cfind me." The moment he finished, Evangeline was swiftly escorted away by her entourage of bodyguards, her departure so rapid it seemed to suck the warmth right out of the air. However, Evangeline's spirit remained unbroken. She gritted her teeth, fighting back the shivers and the flush of embarrassment that scorched her cheeks.
She almost let those shameful tears escape.
She was the Foster family's darling, the little princess. Back in the South, at the Foster estate, she had never been pushed to the point of tears. Defeat was not an option.
Her ringtone broke through her thoughts, and she steadied her breath before answering. It was James. "Evie, the court date is coming up. Are you ready?" He meant the divorce from Walter, of course.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Stick to the plan, Uncle James," she replied firmly.
She would not back down on the divorce unless she had no choice.
Evangeline gave a signal after the call, and Wade, her loyal and formidable bodyguard, appeared as if from nowhere.
Evangeline had always kept a low profile, and she certainly did not want Walter clued into her true status. Wade had been her shadow, her silent protector. He stood ready behind her, all deference. "Ms. Evangeline, your command?" "Track down Dr. George. If he won't budge with a gentle push, then we'll have to force his hand. You have three days to bring him to me." Twas slipping away from her.
Her grandpa did not have much left either. He might have looked alright, but she knew he was just putting on a brave face for her sake.
She cursed herself for wasting the last three years on a love never meant to be.
"Understood, Ms. Evangeline." Wade could sense that the fiery spirit of the young Evangeline was reignited. Evangeline had barely taken the reins when the news hit like a thunderbolt: her grandpa's health had taken a turn for the worse. Her phone buzzed with urgency. Chapter 27 +25 BONUS It was Asher, her right-hand man, calling her to steer Foster Group through the storm.
"What about my uncles?" Evangeline's brow furrowed, the gravity of the situation sinking in.
"Ms. Evangeline, the less said about those so-called 'masters,' the better.
The ones overseas can't make it ve back and the ones here have just thrown in the towel. It's all on you now," Asher's voice carried the weight of the world. Life had not been kind to Evangeline. She had lost her mother young and then faced the tempest of Foster Group alone.
"Time's tight, and there's a real mess that needs your touch, Ms. Evangeline," said Asher hesitantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What's the mess?" Evangeline's eyebrow arched, ready for battle.
"With Foster Group pushing north and your grandfather's failing health, there's no one else to lead. Your absence these past three years has rocked the stock market. Now, Strata King Group and Gordon Group are circling like vultures, eyeing our central business turf," reported Asher. The mere mention of Strata King Group and Gordon Group set Evangeline's blood boiling. Walter was a heartless snake, preying on the vulnerable.
"Mr. Davis, any word on him?" She ended the call and dialed Wade.
"George is missing! However, word on the street is that Walter's got him." Walter?! As the morning sun kissed the skyline, Evangeline stormed up to the gleaming entrance of Strata King Group's towering headquarters.

"Where's Walter?" she demanded, cutting straight to the chase as she reached the reception.
