Chapter 151


    Evangeline halted, a storm brewing in her mind. She stood frozen in ce.


    Walter caught the change in her stance and strode over, his grip firm as he yanked her into the car without a word.


    The ride was eerily quiet.


    Inside, Evangeline''s anger simmered, ready to boil over.


    Walter was seething too, unable to stomach the thought of Evangeline wanting to kiss another man right in front of him. He gave her the silent treatment.


    They arrived at Crystal Waters House.


    Walter did not bother with manners, practically dragging Evangeline from the car and into the house.


    The door mmed shut behind them, and Walter''s voice cut through the silence, sharp as a knife. "Evangeline, I can''t stand that Hank guy. I''m warning you-stay away from him!"


    He had disliked Hank from the moment he heard they were childhood friends. After seeing Evangeline choose Hank''s kiss over his own, Walter wanted nothing more than to make that thorn in his side vanish. Evangeline, shrouded in darkness, justughed. It was a chilling, mocking sound.


    *Stay away from Hank?" Her voice was soft butced with ice. "And who are you to me, Walter? Why should I listen to you?"


    Evangeline knew every inch of Crystal Waters House, so well that she could find the light switch in pitch ckness without missing a beat.


    In a sh, the living room burst into light, revealing Walter''s dark, brooding face in Evangeline''s view.


    His looks were still drop-dead gorgeous, his physique still the kind that could make anyone''s mouth water, and he was still the guy who haunted Evangeline''s dreams. Evangeline did not even pause to look at him this time.


    She flopped onto the couch as if she were in her own ce, looking totally at ease.


    Walter stalked over to her, but instead of beating around the bush, he got straight to


    the point with a voice as deep as a canyon, Just keeping him at arm''s length isn''t enough. Make him leave Avalon City, or I''ll make sure he vanishes from here for good! His words wereced with a threat that could not be clearer.


    Too bad for him, Evangeline was the Foster family''s darling princess.


    The Gordons might rule the South and the Fosters the North, and sure, Walter had clout, but the Fosters were not pushovers. She was not scared one bit!


    She was more interested in something else,


    ?


    "Walter, why are you so hung up on Hank being around? Don''t tell me... you''re... jealous?*


    The idea of Walter being jealous, especially over her, was so oundish it could make her question if pigs had started to fly or if the sun had decided to rise in the west.


    A secondter, Walter was seething, teeth clenched in fury,This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    He could own up to feeling a twinge of jealousy, but to actually admit it with Evangeline acting like this? That would be like handing her a free shot at his pride.


    "Get over yourself! You think being the Foster family''s darling princess doesn''t turn heads online? By the crack of dawn, the whole of Avalon City will be buzzing about you making moves on Hank, the hotshot new CEO of Foster Group, "And hey, remember, we''re still married! You might not care about dragging your family''s name through the mud, but the Gordons? We''ve got a reputation to uphold!" "Really?"


    Walter''s excuse seemed to hold water, at least a little.


    Evangeline was stuck on something else.


    "Hank back to thepany... It was you, wasn''t it?"
