Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)

Chapter 230

Walter was not the type to back down without a fight.

Evangeline's game plan was simple: She would keep the knowledge of her baby from Walter, and then vanish from his life post-divorce.

The baby was hers and hers alone. No matter what, Walter was not getting his hands on her child.

Evangeline was lost in thought, her mind a whirlwind of half-formed plans. she could not pin down. When Roslyn shared her worries, Evangeline was at a loss for words.

"Don't sweat it, I've got a plan," Evangeline reassured her. "Hey, I sent you an invite to my birthday party. Why'd you bail on me?"

The thought stung. Her birthday had come and gone without a peep from Roslyn, her ride-or-die best friend. It had been a real letdown.

Roslyn's face crumpled with regret. "Ugh, my agent's the worst. She's pushing me into the TV scene and signed me up for this drama without asking. I was so ticked off that I almost fired her. But the studio was breathing down my neck, so I had to play along. They even to back until I was deep into filming. By then, your party was old news."

Roslyn was still steamed about it, but she knew deep down that her agent was just looking out for her future. She could not bite the hand that fed her, so she buckled down to give her all to the role.

"It's cool, work comes first," said Evangeline, her voice warm with

understanding.

Their bond was too strong for such formalities. Evangeline was not just okay. with it; she was stoked for Roslyn's big break.

"Anyway, we don't even drink. What's the fun of hanging out at a bar with just juice? Let's bounce and head home."

Roslyn, who had been roughing it on set, was not keen on going back to that

grind. She had finally taken a day off and wanted to make the most of it.

"You sure you can skip out on filming tonight?" asked Evangeline, hesitant to mess with Roslyn's schedule.

She would love nothing more than to chill with her best friend, but not if it meant throwing a wrench in Roslyn's career.

"Absolutely," Roslyn's eyes sparkled at the thought of taking it easy, gripping Evangeline's arm and putting on her best sad face. "Evie, you have no idea, life on set is brutal. Even getting a shower is a hassle!

"I finally got a chance to get away today, and the last thing I want is to go. back to that grind! Plus, I've already taken leave from my dreadful agent, so if you don't let me crash with you tonight, I'll be out on the streets!" Roslyn's tale grew more dramatic by the second, and she even managed to squeeze out a couple of fake tears.

Evangeline chuckled without hesitation. "Okay, okay, I'll think of somewhere we can hang out."

She knew full well that Roslyn, with her fame, was far from being homeless. She just wanted to spend some quality time together, since it had been ages since their last adventure.

Where to go was the question. Then it hit her-the gift she got at her birthday party. Yale had given her a mansion in the posh Eastgate District, Emerald of the Highlands. She had accepted it but never actually visited. This was the perfect spot for their retreat! Today's Bonus Offer
