Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 197

Chapter 197

Evangeline could not help but smirk at the woman standing before her.

Minnie was quick on her feet.

Just when she was about to score some major points for her reputation, this woman swooped in with an act of feigned innocence and then cozied up to her, all in a bid to score some popularity points.

Normally, Evangeline would have just nodded along, doing the easy favor without a second thought. However, since Minnie had tried to push her limits, Evangeline was far from willing.

A smile hung on Evangeline's face, but she remained silent, her demeanor frosty.

The room plunged into an awkward silence, and Minnie, desperate to break it, started rambling into the microphone about nothing in particular.

Alex, trying to lighten the mood, cracked a joke and finally shattered the tension. "Minnie, you're reaching too far. How could you be friends with Evie? Evie should be your mentor." Minnie quickly latched onto his words, "Yes, yes, you're right. I was thinking too simply."

Her words were smooth and polite, but her eyes sent a chilling glare Evangeline's way.

Evangeline instinctively squinted, exchanged a few chilly greetings, and put an end to the whole charade. Backstage, Evangeline's heart was racing, and it would not slow down. The resemblance was uncanny!

Minnie and Julia did look alike around the eyes, but if she really looked, their differences were pretty clear. Plus, if Julia did go under the knife, there was no way she would be looking like this so quickly.

The biggest thing was that Alex and Julia were like two ships that never met in the night. How could they ever end up together?

Evangeline shook off the silly thought, patting her chest to calm her racing heart.

In just one night, Evangeline became a violin prodigy, beating the so-called 'trashy girl' Minnie with a three- stringed violin, and the gossip flew through Avalon City like wildfire. Minnie, fresh from overseas, earned herself the 'trashy girl' label.

Evangeline's thoughts turned to Alex, and at that same moment, her phone buzzed with his name.

Chapter 197

"Evie, are you busy with work these days?"

Evangeline was swamped.

Evangeline had become the head of the Foster family. Sure, her uncle and Hank were on top of the business stuff, but some things just needed her personal touch.

Alex's out-of-the-blue concern was not just hot air, though. Evangeline played it cool with her reply.

"I'm doing alright. What's up?"

"Well, I got this job at Avalon Unive
