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.

Before anyone could catch their breath, the divorce rurs came crashing in, followed by another scoop.

Hot on the heels of the divorce buzz, Walter's so-called wife hit the headlines for her unique status and for telling her parents and her violin-prodigy sister she had nothing to do with them.

The news cycle had not even cooled down when Evangeline's secret life as a racing queen was exposed, sparking endless gossip. Gordon Group had turned into a media frenzy, with reporters infiltrating the company in search of the scoop. Being in Walter Gordon's orbit seemed to promise a life of luxury.

Today, the staff were stunned to see the couple, who had been at the center of divorce drama just days before, strolling into the office, hand in hand, all lovey-dovey. It was enough to make anyone's jaw hit the floor.

The company was alive with whispers from the basement to the boardroom.

"Weren't Mr. Walter Gordon and his wife on the fast track to divorce? What's with the cozy show today?"
