Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 588

"I nearly lost my life saving you back then, and this is how you treat me in return. You repay kindness with betrayal. Even the stars are laughing at you, Walter!"

As tears of mirth welled in her eyes, any last hope that Walter truly loved her vanished. When he had pinned her hands and tossed her onto the bed with such coldness, the truth hit her hard. She was nothing to him. Why keep dreaming?

Walter's eyes were red with fury, and Julia's illusions shattered completely. She knew then that she had never been the one he wanted. His heart belonged to Evangeline, that snake.

However, Julia would not stand for it. She would not let Evangeline win, and she certainly would not let Walter have his way.

Unbeknownst to her, Walter's patience had snapped. He lifted her with a fierce grip and slammed her back onto the bed, his voice like ice.

"I'm done with the past, Julia. All I care about now is where you've hidden Evangeline."

Walter was convinced Julia knew Evangeline's whereabouts, and he would not waste another breath on her otherwise. In a swift motion, he ripped his shirt cuff and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his toned arms, ready for whatever came next. "You know what I'm capable of. I have no clue how you got out of that place, but I bet you'd never want to go back for a second round!"

Tears spilled from Julia's eyes in an instant.
