Chapter 19 Julia's friends, bolstered by Walter's arrival, found a renewed sense of confidence.

Evangeline remained silent.

"Walt!" Julia's voice dripped with sweetness as she preempted any other conversation. She ran her fingers through her hair, and tears streamed down her face in gratitude for her timely rescue.

"I don't know what I've done wrong, but my sister and her friends just attacked us. Look at my face-it's all swollen." To be attacked twice in one day...

This time, away from the Gordon estate, Julia was determined not to let Evangeline get away with it.

Julia's tears were a portrait of distress, though the slap marks on her face lent a touch of the absurd to her plight. Walter stared at Julia's bruised cheek before glaring at Evangeline icily.

It was bad enough Evangeline had struck him, but she was even cavorting with young men too? They were not even divorced yet, and she was already so impatient! Taking in her flawless makeup and the sultry dress that was a far cry from anything he had seen her in before, Walter felt an inexplicable surge of irritation.

He confronted her head-on.

"Already bringing shto the Gordon nbefore the ink on our divorce papers is dry? Inciting a brawl, attacking your own sister?" Walter's voice was a low growl, his eyes dark with accusation. Hearing Walter's words, Julia's lips trembled, and she seemed on the verge of collapse, her body leaning heavily into Walter's embrace.

Instead of pushing her away, Walter steadied her with his arms.

Evangeline watched with an icy stare as Walter fussed over his precious Julia, her own heart still as stone. She stood her ground, poised as she locked eyes with him.

"You prattle on about the Gordon family's honor, but when you were whispering sweet nothings to Julia on that cruise, did you spare a thought for your marriage vows or the Gordon family's reputation?" Evangeline's voice was calm, her demeanor unruffled as she threw the words back at him.

The air crackled with tension, like the calm before a storm.

Walter's presence was overwhelming, and no one dared to challenge him.

Roslyn, seething with anger, wanted to shield her from the confrontation.

The man Evangeline had adored was defending his lover for all to see! Evangeline's heart must have shattered into pieces.

However, Evangeline gave Roslyn a slight shake of her head. That was her battle to fight with Walter, and she needed no one's assistance.

Chapter 19 *25 BONUS Walter chuckled in scorn, his dark eyes a mystery in the shadows. "You knew Julia was off-limits, yet you still went after her?" "What's done is done. Or are you looking for payback? Evangeline lifted her chin defiantly as if daring him.

However, he did not spare her a glance. "I won't touch you. I'll let the police handle this." Evangeline wanted a divorce, did she not? Well, she was about to learn what life was like without the Gordon family's shield.

Ruby, Julia's right-hand girl who had just dialed 911, piped up with a bold promise, "Don't worry, Mr. Walter Gordon. I've already alerted the cops. She had the nerve to hitand Julia, but my uncle will handle her." The Garside family and her uncle, Jay Garside, all relied on Walter. It only made sense she would make sure things went smoothly for Walter.

With that in mind, Walter remained silent and scooped Julia up in his arms. He strode out without looking back.

Julia's friends gasped in disbelief.

Caden reached out to stop Walter but could not, leaving him no choice but to follow.

Julia could not hide her triumph, but nobody caught the taunting glare she shot Evangeline.

The room echoed with jeers. Everyone was poking fun at Evangeline.

However, Evangeline just laughed it off, nonchalantly arching an eyebrow before turning to Roslyn. "The party poopers are gone. Let's keep the drinks coming.

She had vowed to move on from everything, but seeing Walter's dismissive look, watching him defend Julia and even ready to have her sent to the police station-it still tore at her heart. Roslyn gazed at her, concerned. "Evie, you okay? Walter's being a real monster! How could he treat you like that? I just..." She wanted to tear him apart.

"It's fine, really. If he's blind enough to fall for Julia, that's his loss. I'm not about to hang my hopes on that twisted branch. The world's too amazing out there... right?" With Walter supporting her, Ruby grew bolder, strutting around with newfound swagger.

"If you want to keep living the good life, you better not mess with Julia, or you'll be getting a taste of life behind bars! Mr. Walter Gordon made it clear that he wantsto avenge Julia rightfully!" Today's Bonus Offer
