Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter

55

Riding on Julia's coattails, Evangeline's striking looks and endless legs made her ant overnight sensation.

However, fame came with a sour note. She was dubbed a 'vixen' by many who were drawn to her beauty.

By the next day, her past was picked apart, and people were even camping out at the County Clerk's Office for a glimpse of the drama. Her marriage to Walter had been a well-kept secret.

No one knew she was Walter's lawful wife, but once word got out about her marriage and the impending divorce, everyone wanted a piece of the action.

At the crack of dawn, a crowd of rubberneckers had gathered at the Clerk's Office, some eager to lay eyes on Evangeline's legendary beauty.

The scene was a frenzy of activity, with journalists buzzing around for the latest scoop and a sea of Julia's die-hard fans, all itching to rip Evangeline apart.

The Foster family had seen that coming a mile away. Evangeline's eldest uncle, Yale, had the foresight to hire bodyguards to keep her safe.

The County Clerk's Office was swamped, resembling a bustling flea market more than a government building. The staff were at their wits' end, unable to disperse the eager crowd.

The spectators, hungry for the main event, had whipped themselves into a frenzy, gossiping to pass the time.

"Hey, did you catch the latest? Julia's sister's husband is some old geezer, ugly as sin but loaded. Word on the street is she's barren, tried to snag her brother-in-law, and there's more. Rumor has it that she's not just after Walter, but she's got another sugar daddy, and that's the real reason for her split."

"And you know, how?" someone shot back.

"I'm telling you, it's all over the web. You didn't miss that livestream, did you? Some stud showed up later, looked like he stepped right off a runway, and that, my friend, was Walter."
