Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 33

That was exactly why Evangeline had had the guts to stand up to Walter.

"And what about Mr. Walter Gordon?" Wade inquired, eyeing Evangeline's cheerful demeanor. They still had to decide whether to proceed with the divorce in court.

Evangeline had informed Holden about the matter and, concerned about Cole's health, could not bring herself to burden him with the troubles between her and Walter.

"We'll talk about it later. Walter is a real piece of work. If I go crawling back to him, I'd be the biggest fool," Evangeline declared.

However, fate had a cruel twist in store. Before the day was out, Cole's assistant Asher was on the phone again, that time with dire news: The hospital had declared Cole critically ill.

Evangeline raced to the ICU, finding her grandfather ashen-faced, her own eyes brimming with tears.

Cole had raised her after her mother's departure and gave her a childhood filled with love. He became her rock, and she, his only granddaughter. However, then, a call from Uncle Holden dropped like a bombshell: Dr. George had been moved by Walter. Evangeline knew she could not waste another second. If her grudge against Walter ended up costing her grandfather's life, she would never forgive herself. Evangeline did not even have time to wallow in self-pity. If she was to be labeled a jerk, then so be it. After all, who had not acted like a jerk at least once? She floored the accelerator, the needle pushing past the 200 kilometers, as she raced toward Walter's apartment.

The place was just a stone's throw from the office. She had grilled Walter's assistant for his whereabouts, snagged the keys, and made a beeline to his doorstep.
