Chapter 604
Evangeline's heart twinged uncontrollably as she thought about the vivid, passionate scene between Walter and
Julia.
'No! Get a grip, Evangeline! Haven't you decided to move on? Why does it still hurt? You can't let this get to you!"
Evangeline's mind raced with the thought.
Then, out of nowhere, she smiled radiantly.
"Maybe Julia just couldn't handle your fiery touch and snuck off when you weren't looking?"
She could still recall how Walter had treated her, like she was nothing more than someone to use, pinned down
in that car.
As for Julia... Could Walter really let himself go that far with her? The thought alone was enough to stun her.
However, Walter could not stand even the slightest hint of accusation from Evangeline, his face darkening with
anger.

He did not realize that his reaction was all the confirmation Evangeline needed.
So, Julia had really slipped away?
"Letlay it out for you: Julia is withnow. Sure, | promised Andrew | wouldn't lay a finger on her, as long as
she didn't cross me. This time, she might not have hurt me, but she got Cole killed. And for that, she's going to
pay.”
A fierce glint flashed in Evangeline's eyes, and when she looked back at Walter, her gaze was laced with scorn.
"Feeling sorry for Julia already? You're a bit early to the party."
Truth be told, since Evangeline had cback, everyone had been preoccupied with Cole's funeral.
Whether Yale had caught Julia or not, she did not know yet.
Evangeline's words were a test, a sharp prod to see how Walter would react if she threatened his darling.
As expected, Walter's face twisted with pain, and he stammered out a feeble excuse. "Evangeline, you've got it
all wrong, I'm just worried about you being in danger..."
Her laughter cut through the air, mocking and sharp. "Worried about me? Please, don't makelaugh. You're
right, you are worried, but
only because you're using your net
‘concern’ to snoop on your
A
sweetheart. I've spilled the beans, now go and wait for whatever news you're hoping for."
She spun on her heel to leave, then paused. "Oh, and my grandfather is gone, dead and buried. The Gordon
family heirloom? I've given it back to Mr. Trey Gordon. Our marriage is a sham, and I'm not about to wait through

cooling-off period. Let's just sue for divorce and be done with it."
With those final words, Evangeline walked away, leaving Walter to stare after her, his hands reaching out for
someone who was no longer there.
Walter was torn. The news of Julia's capture by the Fosters should have been a relief. She was a threat, after all.
However, the Bennison family would not take that lying down. What if they cafter Evangeline in revenge?
"Evangeline, can | see Celina just once more?" he called out, his voice echoing in the empty space shed left
behind.
Celina, being a Bennison, naturally had her own set of remarkable talents. With her looking out for Evangeline,
there was at least sassurance that Evangeline would be safe.
On another note, David had taken it
upon himself to head back to Southern Crownlands to pick up the investigation he had left hanging He was still
nowhere to be found
around there. There was that nagging feeling that he owed it to Celina and David to lend a hand to their cause.
Walter's voice carried, and Evangeline was all ears.
Despite the distance, she caught every word he said, crystal clear.
