Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 64

Evangeline was at a loss as she watched the unfolding drama.

Has Walter lost his mind? He should be backing up his mother, his future mother-in-law, and his girlfriend, not defending her from his mother's wrath.

"Walter, what are you doing? I need to put her in her place! She been spewing lies online, and now she's here, parading around like she owns the place. If we don't put her in her place, she'll think she can walk all over the Gordon family!" chastised Aria. "Mom, Evangeline and I aren't divorced. So technically, she kind of does have a stake in the Gordon family," Walter retorted.

As Water watched, he began to see the struggles Evangeline had faced in the first three years of their marriage and started to grasp why she had turned out the way

she had.

A wave of regret washed over him.

If he had been too late in the past, his chance to make amends had finally come.

"Walter, has she cast some kind of spell on you? She's been outright rude to your family, hurling insults at your mom, and you're still taking the side of this stranger!" Aria was fuming, her chest tight with fury.

Lydia and Julia had not seen that coming. Julia peeked at Walter, but his gaze was locked on Evangeline as if no one else existed.

What then? Walter seemed genuinely smitten with Evangeline, defending her even at

this moment.

"Mom, I've heard from Alice over the years about the way you've treated Evangeline.

It's time to stop."
