Chapter 327

Evangeline was the Foster family's darling, a girl wrapped in velvet and born with a spine of steel. She had immense pride and a rebel heart to match. She had moved on from Walter, and even the idea of having his baby did not cling to her like it used to. She was all about letting the chips fall where they may However, Minnie's little jab? That just lit a fire under her.

"L... I think I can have kids," said Minnie, a flicker of surprise crossing her face before she had spoken a tad sheepishly.

"You think?" Evangeline raised an eyebrow, sounding concerned. "Ever had a pre-pregnancy checkup? You know, to see if everything's in working order? It takes more than wishful thinking to know for sure."

Julia and Minnie, neither married, would not normally have considered such a personal medical exam.

"I... I'm not even married yet. Isn't it a bit premature to get checked out?" Minnie shot back accusingly as if Evangeline was making a mountain out of a molehill with her unsolicited advice.

"Premature? I think it's a smart move," Evangeline replied, her voice surprisingly gentle. She gave Minnie's hand a reassuring pat, her eyes full of sincerity as she continued to encourage her.

"The Gordons run a massive business empire, so of course they're obsessed with having an heir. Imagine if you can't have kids, even after marrying Walter. If you can't deliver an heir, you'll be forced out before you know it.

"But get this, if you have a medical check-up and show Trey the results, he might just be impressed by your determination to have kids and give Walter the thumbs-up to bring you into the family."

Evangeline's voice was cool and even, her heart still as a pond.

Trey had sworn up and down that she was the only granddaughter-in-law for him, but if she and Walter split, she knew the old man would bend over backward for his grandson's sake.

"So, what, I'm just a baby-making machine for the Gordons? Minnie zeroed in on the harsh reality, her face clouding over in an instant. "Cut the crap. Walter and I will sort out our own stuff. We don't need you butting in!" Evangeline knew all too well how fast Minnie could flip her lid: One moment all was good, and a total 180-degree turn in the next.

Of course, if Minnie was going to get real, Evangeline was not about to pull any punches either.

"Actually, Minnie, shouldn't I be the one saying that to you? How well Walter and I get along, whether I can have kids, and if the Gordons even need an heir-that's none of your business. We're not exactly friends, so do me a favor and..."

Evangeline mimed zipping her lips. "Zip it, okay?"

Evangeline had been ready to kick Minnie out, but she figured someone as sharp as Minnie would definitely catch the hint.

Just as expected, Minnie's face went pale with shock and anger. Clenching her teeth, she spat out, "Enjoy your little power trip while it lasts. Once you and Walter officially sign those divorce papers, you won't be

With that, Minnie stormed off, her heels clicking angrily against the floor. She did not even glance back.

Evangeline, cool as ever, whipped out her phone and made a call.

"I want eyes on Minnie, round the clock. Anything she does, I
