"So, you've rigged the whole game, huh? To keepfrom leaving, you'd gamble away your entire fortune?" "Isn't it better this way? Stay Mrs. Walter Gordon, and share in the Gordon family's legacy," said Walter. "What's the point, Walter? You think I'm clueless? You're just trying to save your own skin. I never thought you'd stoop so low, using threats like this! If I sign that paper, everyone will seeas the gold-digger who took the Gordons for all they're worth and still walked out.

"Walter, release me." In that instant, Evangeline's only thought was to flee. She could not let Walter's gaze unsettle her, not when she had decided to move on.

Years of pain at Walter's hands had left deep scars. She would not let him wound her again.

However, Walter, oblivious to her resistance, leaned in and kissed her gently, his lips soft and warm against her forehead. With that kiss, something inside her seemed to dissolve.

"Walt!" Julia burst in, having hurried over after catching wind of the at Gordon Group: She never expected to find that scene upon opening the door to Walter's office. Uncover the Celestial

Ever since Evangeline had ousted her, Julia had been seething with resentment, waiting for a chance to strike back. She was stunned to see Evangeline thriving, practically Worshiped by all, while she was relegated to being known simply as 'the Violin Princess'. To make matters worse, she had becthe butt of jokes after their last encounter. On the other hand, Evangeline had not only cleared The content is on Secrets that Help Shape Yo... n..com!
