Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 109

Little did Walter know, this night was not going to be just any ordinary night, and the quiet he longed for was nowhere in sight.

Evangeline, having failed to find Walter at his Crystal Waters apartment, decided to camp out at the Gordon family mansion. With Julia out of reach and nothing better to do, she figured she might as well wait there. She could not imagine Walter would stay away from home

Before she could even think about how to address Aria, Aria beat her to it, asking, "Evie, are you feeling out of place?" She awkwardly touched her hair, "I know I've changed a lot, but..." She seemed to struggle to find the words, letting out a frustrated sigh before finally finding the courage to
