Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)

Chapter 104

Nonetheless, it was no surprise. Evangeline was never short on admirers, Caden's thoughts drifted to Walter's sour face, and he muttered to himself.

Was there really no chance left for Evangeline and Walter?

In the sleek Lamborghini, Wade glanced at Evangeline's pale face with a touch of concern and smoothly fired up the engine.

"Miss, your birthday's coming up in a few days, and with your identity all over the news, Grandpa wants to throw you a blockbuster birthday party. Got any thoughts on that?"

He knew his young mistress had been tough as nails and would not have wanted anyone fussing over her. If he let on how worried he was, it might just have stung her pride. Thus, he kept it strictly business when he asked about the party plans.

'So, who's gonna run the show?" She was not surprised that Cole had wanted to go all out for her birthday. His health had been on the rocks, which

just made him all the more determined to shower her with every good thing under the sun, including a blowout birthday party.

Deep down, she was not one for splurging, but she could not have said no to her grandfather's wishes. There was just one thing: Cole was not well, and the thought of him stressing over her party had been too much for her to handle. If someone else could have taken the "Yale is on it," Wade chimed in, and Evangeline's worries melted away.

"Let Uncle Yale handle it. I'm pretty happy with how things are right now, and I don't need anything else."

Out of everything in the world, the one thing Evangeline, the Foster family's darling, had truly longed for was Walter's love-a love she had yet to win, and in chasing it, she had lost herself and her heart.

All she had wanted at this moment was for her grandfather and her uncles to be healthy and happy.

Little did Evangeline know, the Foster family estate had been buzzing with excitement. Her uncles had come home, and the once tranquil place became a hive of activity. They were gearing up to throw Evangeline a massive birthday party, and the timing could not have bee right after her divorce.

Yale Foster, Evangeline's eldest uncle on her mother's side, was on the scene in no time.

His niece, Evangeline, had been hassled by a no-good guy. Yale, with his tough-as-nails special forces background and his role as the influential number two in the South, was not about to sit back and do nothing. Comment by Lee Laindingold: North

His brothers were all on their way too. They were coming home to throw Evangeline the birthday bash of the year, yet they also shared another mission.

"Think you can mess with the Foster family's darling girl and get away with it?"

Evangeline's uncles were not pushovers. They were ready to show that jerk exactly what would happen when anyone crossed them!

As Evangeline walked in, Yale was on a video call with his brothers, right at the moment they were

plotting Walter's comeuppance.

Wade caught wind of the delicate subject and coughed loudly to clue in Yale.

Yale got the hint and turned to Evangeline, his face a mix of concern and awkwardness.

They all knew about Evangeline's soft spot for that Walter guy. Talking about teaching him a lesson behind her back, they had no clue how she would take it.

Evangeline, ever the cool and collected one, faced Yale and asked, "Uncle Yale, you guys are planning to straighten out Walter, aren't you?"

She had overheard every word of the uncles' chat.

"Yeah," Yale admitted, feeling a sudden unease. When it came to his precious niece, his usually steady nerves were shot. She had been through enough; how could he bear to see her upset again?

Evangeline's lips curled into a mischievous smirk, and her eyebrows raised in delight. "Well then, have at it and make it count," she said.

After the rough time Walter had given her, she was itching for some payback. Since her uncles were eager to lend a hand, she thought, why not let them?

She left Uncle Yale, who was still trying to catch up with the situation, and was about to head straight to her grandpa's place when her phone buzzed with a new message.
