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.

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."
