Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 248

Chapter 248

"Cut the crap. Are you here because of Evangeline or not?" Walter jabbed a finger at Alex's nose, his voice rising.

Evangeline stood by, silent and drowning in guilt.

If she had not tangled with this man who threw around accusations without a shred of truth, Alex would never have been treated like this. It was a total injustice!

It all started because of her. If she had not married Walter, he would not have turned into such an irrational person, and none of this would have happened.

"That's enough, Walter!" Evangeline had reached her limit. "Alex is our elder. How can you speak to your brother like that?"

She could let go of the baseless suspicions and accusations from Walter. In her eyes, he was nothing but a lowlife. However, she could not stand by while he criticized Alex. Alex was already under suspicion because of her, and she felt terrible about it. How could she let him suffer even more?

She did not realize that her defense would strike a nerve with Walter.

A cold laugh escaped him as he glared at Alex with venom. "Brother? That's a title he has to earn. If he wants me to call him brother willingly, he needs to start acting like one!" Sneaking around with his brother's wife behind his back-did that sound like something a decent brother would do?

Especially since...

He knew perfectly well that Evangeline had feelings for Alex.

"You!"

Evangeline was so frustrated that she felt like she might faint,

"Walter, you're being totally ridiculous. We're done talking to you!"

With that, she started to wheel Alex away, but Walter zipped in front of them, blocking their path like a human wall.

"You're not going anywhere!"

"What do you want, Walter?"

Evangeline was at her wit's end. She could not fathom why Walter was on their case like a dog with a bone today, refusing to back off. "Leave! I need to talk to Alex!"

Walter pointed down the path and shouted at Evangeline.

"What's so secret between you two that I can't hear?"

Evangeline quickly made up an excuse.

Walter was steaming mad, and with Alex already weak and in a wheelchair, a confrontation would only hurt Alex.

She could not just walk away now, could she?

Without a second thought, Walter snapped, "If it's about you, you obviously

can't listen!"

Evangeline let out a derisive laugh. "If it's about me, then I definitely need to hear it!"

They stood there, arguing, their tempers flaring and eyes blazing. They looked like they might start throwing punches any second.

Alex took a deep breath and let out a sigh. "Stop! Both of you, just listen to me."

Walter and Evangeline instantly turned to look at Alex.

"Evie, do as I say, you go first."

It was clear Walter was not going to drop it. If one of them could get away from this mess, he wanted it to be Evangeline.

Evangeline's eyes brimmed with concern as she firmly stated, "I can't just walk away! Walter's snapping at everyone like he's lost it. What if he goes after you when I'm gone?"

She felt guilty for dragging Alex into the m s between her and her husband. If Alex got hurt because of her, she would owe him big time for the rest of her life.

Alex gave her a reassuring grin. "You're worrying over nothing. Walter and I, we've been thick as thieves since we were kids. He's my bro, and I get him. Sure, he's got a short fuse, but he's not unreasonable." Today's Bonus Offer
