Chapter 479
"See you later, Walter."
It was not a final goodbye, but a promise of another meeting.
There Walter stood, watching Evangeline leave the cruise ship, quickly shielded by a swarm of bodyguards.
Just then, David, looking worried, hurried over to Walter with an update. "Mr. Walter Gordon, we've figured it out.
Ms. Kast took the cruise ship's lifeboat to shore. Our guys have been on her trail, and she was last seen in the
Newstead Zone." "Did you find her?" Walter's voice was icy.
David went pale. "Not yet, but I'm about to lead a team there!"
Walter gestured dismissively at David. "Forget it, I'll go find Minnie myself. You take extra people and make sure
Mrs. Gordon gets back to the Fosters' place safe and sound!"
Evangeline had slipped away like a shadow, and Holden, with a whole squad of bodyguards in tow, was a silent
testament to one thing: The Foster family was on high alert, knowing she might be walking into danger. They
were not taking any chances with her safety. The grapevine had not given him the full picture yet, but one thing
was crystal clear: He was not about to gamble with Evangeline's well-being.
Evangeline was worried that something bad might happen when Walter and Holden met, so of course, Walter
was not about to be the one to walk her into that. Lucky for him, David had just rolled back into town. Handing
Evangeline off to David was a no-brainer-he was trustworthy.

David's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt, but one look at Walter's no-nonsense expression, and he was nodding
like a bobblehead. "Got it, boss. I'm on it!"
He knew Evangeline's next move before she did-she would make a beeline for the Emerald of the Highlands’
villas as soon as she shook off Walter. That meant Dannington Road was her path home, and David was going to
shadow her every step of the way, just as Walter had ordered.
With the plan set, Walter and his entourage of guards peeled out.
Newstead Zone was not exactly the bustling heart of the city. Nestled among the mountains, it was a bit on the
rough side and did not exactly have people tripping over each other. Minnie had picked that spot to lay low,
probably betting on the seclusion and the rugged terrain to keep her out of the spotlight.
Walter knew he had to act fast to catch Minnie before she vanished into the mountains, where she would be
nearly impossible to find.
However, as he arrived in the Newstead Zone, his mission was interrupted by a shocking news flash on an old TV
in a local's house where he was gathering information.
"Urgent news update. A catastrophic multi-car pile-up occurred on Dannington Road in the heart of Avalon City at
12:38 p.m. today. Preliminary reports indicate that up to two hundred seventy vehicles are wrecked, with the
number of casualties soaring past a thousand..."
