Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 61

"Mrs. Cook, is Walter at home?" asked Evangeline as she pulled Alice to the side, out of view of the security cameras.

Alice could see the worry in Evangeline's eyes and reassured her, "The young. master's not here. There's been some trouble at the company, and he's been so tied, up that he hasn't been home in ages. You came to chk on Mr. Gordon, didn't you? "Let's go inside, it's fine. Mr. Gordon often mentions you. He was so distressed when he heard about your divorce that he fell ill. Dr. Lawson just left a little while ago." Alice shared the latest news as she led Evangeline into the house. Evangeline reluctantly trailed behind her into the house.

In the living room, Aria lounged on the couch, her eyes glued to her smartphone. Her gaze snapped up as they walked in, a mix of surprise and annoyance crossing her

features.

"Alice, after all these years with the Gordons, you know better. What's with dragging in every random person? Are you trying to get fired?"

Alice, who was not one to be pushed around after years with the Gordons, shot back, "I work for Mr. Gordon. If you think you can, go ahead and fire me. Maybe you should focus on keeping your mouth shut if you're bored."

With a dismissive huff at Aria, Alice reassured Evangeline, "Don't worry, Madam. Mr. Gordon is upstairs resting. Go on up. If anyone gives you trouble, I'll let Mr. Gordon

know."

"Alice, you..." Aria, who had not been in the house nearly as long as Alice, pointed a trembling finger at her. "You're just a servant! Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty here?"

However, Alice just grabbed her basket of veggies and walked off, leaving Aria to redirect her fury at Evangeline.
