hapter 46 Julia's mind raced. If Walter just whisked Evangeline away like that, it would be a slap in her face.
That night was her chance to show everyone who was in charge. She could not let Evangeline, that homewrecker, outshine her.
*Go ahead, hail a cab on your own." Walter did not even glance back, leaving Julia seething with envy and rage as she watched them from behind.
Evangeline stormed halongside Walter, her anger simmering.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo her surprise, the moment they arrived, Walter flung a fancy jewelry box at her as if it were nothing more than garbage.
She instantly recognized it as the case for the sapphire necklace.
"Here, take it. Not everyone's keen on second-hand stuff, so let's call it charity," said Walter indifferently.
Yet, despite his biting words and the fact that 135 million dollars was a drop in the bucket for him, Evangeline felt a pang. That necklace was not just any trinket. It was the Foster family's treasured heirloom, a wedding gift from her grandfather, laden with meaning. She was done with Walter and had hoped to make him the fall guy, getting what she wanted without any strings attached.
However, she had not expected that he had not bought the necklace for Julia.
Playing with the jewelry box, Evangeline quirked an eyebrow. "Somehow, I get the feeling Julia would've liked it." After all, Julia had practically begged Walter to drape the necklace around her neck when he won the bid. It was clear she was smitten.
To Walter, 135 million was trivial, but for Julia, it was a different story.
Walter, buried in paperwork and casting an icy look without raising his eyes, scoffed." She's worth more than that! You think I'd give her your hand-me-downs? And who said it was a gift for you? I just wanted you to hold onto it!" Walter's tone had lost its usual chill, replaced by a warmth that was hard to catch unless she was looking for it.

He yanked her close, his grip firm on her chin as he scolded, "I never noticed how full. of yourself you were." However, Evangeline was just stirring the pot. A devilish grin spread across her face as she seductively perched on his lap, her body swaying gently. "That's right, I'm full of myself. Still better than you, Mr. Walter Gordon, with your double talk, huh?" Walter's pulse raced. He loosened his tie, his fingers tracing the contours of Evangeline's lovely face. "Evangeline, are you asking for trouble? Trying to temptagain?" She had tried so hard before, and he had always resisted. With divorce on the horizon, she had nothing to lose. She wanted to drive him wild, to strip Julia of everything. Evangeline boldly yanked off his tie, and Walter, his gaze intense, leaned in to kiss her neck. However, the shrill ring of the phone shattered the moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalter did not want to pick up, but the insistent ringing forced him to.
With a grimace, he took the call.
It was Julia, her voice breaking with tears, "Walt, I..."
Hearing her, Evangeline sank her ank hem om teeth into Walter's throat.
Walter gasped for air, his breaths coming in sharp, "N"sperate pulls.
"Ngh.."
Evangeline was playing a dangerous game, her touch deliberate bold, and then sliding lower to seize him firmly. Charter &
