Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 247

The anger Walter had been struggling to suppress instantly flared up. The excessive heat in his body along with the pain from his wound drove him to furiously confront Alex and Evangeline.

"Talk about serendipity-my dear wife and dear brother. Can you believe it?" Just me, strolling around with no particular place to go, and who do I bump into? You two!" The suspicion in Walter's words was unmistakable.

Evangeline felt an urge to clear the air, but Walter was not about to let her get a word in. He made a show of scanning their surroundings. "Wow, this spot's pretty nice, isn't it?
