Unmasking the Heiress

"Yeah, Evie should be okay. However, David, the poor kid, is sick, and we've got no news on him. You need to take care of yourself right now, and don't stress. Evie's got things under control, and she'll call as soon as there's any word from David." Cole wrapped an arm around Celina, offering her a comforting squeeze that sent warmth flooding through her. In the midst of that, Celina's mind flickered to the mission Evangeline had left with her grandfather.

"Mr. Foster, have you found your favorite celebrity yet? Since we can't do much else, let's try to track down the star you're into. That way, when Ms. Evangeline gets back, she can show you what to do next." Pushing down the flutter of anxiety in her chest, Celina flashed Cole a brave smile.

"Yeah, could you give me a hand? Let's start by tapping this icon, and then..."

Together, the two huddled on the couch, fingers dancing over the smartphone's screen, which was displaying WebSphere.

Holden watched the tender scene unfold before him, a sense of warmth blooming in his chest.

His father, it seemed, was finally getting on board with the latest trends.

As for the troubling news of Evangeline's disappearance, Holden had made sure it was locked down tight. No whisper of it would reach Cole's ears, not even if he scoured the Internet.

Once Holden grasped what they were up to, he could not resist joining the quest to help Cole find his idol...

Meanwhile, in the hospital, David's fever spiked to a worrisome 39 degrees Celsius, leaving him in a hazy state of delirium.

The bodyguards stood by, watching David slowly recover with the help of an IV drip. They could not stop themselves from muttering their concerns.

"What a mess this is. We went to save this guy, and now we've lost our Ms. Evangeline. What are we going to do when we get back..."

In his daze, David's eyes fluttered open.

What did he just hear? The Foster family's Ms. Evangeline was missing?

Evangeline Foster... that was her, was it not?

The news hit him like a bolt of lightning, and he shot up in bed, his feverish body suddenly charged with energy.

"You're telling me Evangeline's gone missing?! How did that happen?"

If Evangeline was in danger because of him, if she had fallen into the wrong hands... How would he ever face Walter? He was not even supposed to come back this time.

However, Walter had a soft spot for his worry over Celina and made an exception for him to see her just one more time...

The bodyguard was seriously annoyed with David, the guy they blamed for Evangeline's disappearance.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

up

It was as if the nudge woke him He smacked his lips in frustration "Yeah, yeah, you're right. I should' just shut my trap. Ms. Evangeline's going to be just fine!"

A second later, they both turned to David as if on cue.

"Now that you're up, our job here is done. You can handle things from here, can't you?"

The man's tone was harsh, leaving David with no room to argue.

"Let's go find Ms. Evangeline, then..."

The bodyguards dashed away as David scrambled to find his phone, dialing Walter's number in a panic.

"Boss, it's Mrs. Gordon... She's vanished!"
