Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 77

The company was abuzz with shock. It had been a whirlwind of bombshells for days. Walter and Evangeline

had kept their marriage under wraps, and since Evangeline had never set foot in the company during their marriage, most employees were clueless about Walter's marital status. The revelation of his marriage sent shockwaves through the office.
