Chapter 152 Evangeline's suspicions were well-founded.

The Fosters would not sabotage their own empire, and in Avalon City, the only one with the means and the boredom to pull off such a stunt was Walter.

She had expected him to at least play dumb. Clearly, she had played down how low he could stoop.

"What if it was me?" "What if it was you?" Evangeline's anger surged, finding a perfect target as she confronted him head-on. "Tell,Mr. Walter Gordon. Since when is toying with the company a laughing matter?" Gordon Group was Trey's pride and joy. Walter, as his grandson, should have known better than to mess with it.

"Really? You're one to talk! Making a spectacle by almost kissing Hank in front of everyone... Weren't you the one treating our company like it was skind of joke? All I did was pull a little stunt to clean up our act," Walter shot back, standing his ground. "Should I just sit back and watch you trash the good names of Gordon Group and Foster Group? Do nothing?" Walter's words sounded legitimate at first, but they were just a bunch of hot air when listened back.

"Walter, we're practically divorced, just a paper away. Don't you think it's a bit of a stretch to use the company's rep to pusharound? You! You're out of your mind!" Evangeline's face went white with rage. She knew Walter could be a piece of work, but she had no idea he could twist things around like a professional.

Walter's fists were balled up, his face a shade of angry purple, looking just as bad as Evangeline felt.

"Me, out of my mind? Evangeline, this is your final heads-up: Stay away from Hank. I'll let it slide this time, but if there's a next time, it won't be as easy as just a dash back to the office." Walter did not even let her get a word in before he slammed the door on his way out.

In the silence of the living room, Evangeline was all alone.

Every tshe shut her eyes, images of Walter's furious face and Hank's disappointed gaze haunted her.

She admitted to herself that she had messed up.

Even if she was determined to cut Walter out of her life for good, to erase him from her memory and give Hank a chance, she should not have treated anyone that way. The least she could do was properly end things with Walter and get her own feelings straight before she was ready to dive into something new.

She owed Hank an apology, and she had no excuse. Playing with Hank's feelings just to get what she wanted was just plain wrong, a serious misstep in the gof love.

Grabbing a car from the garage without much thought, Evangeline rose early and headed to the office.

Considering Hank had not called or texted her all night about any updates, Walter's latest m must've been a big deal. Maybe Hank was still at the office, pulling an all-nighter.

She was right. As she walked into the office with a bag ofdelicious-smelling breakfast, she spotted Hank, completely wiped out, snoozing at his desk.

Just then, Wade, the assistant, popped in, ready to fill her in. om Evangeline shushed him with a quick gesture. She set the breakfast down, turned, and stepped out of Hank's office with Wade.
