Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 210

Chapter 210

"I won't do it!" Walter's eyes were tinged with red, but his voice was resolute.

"Why won't you let go? You don't even like Evie, and now you're just holding her back from replaceing happiness?"

Holden's blood boiled at the thought of this guy messing with his beloved niece's future.

When the men grilled him, Walter was bursting with things to say but could not replace the words.

He truly adored Evangeline; he dreamed of growing old with her. However, Evangeline's heart belonged to Alex, leaving Walter's love with nowhere to

1. go.

If he spilled his true feelings and they reached Evangeline, he would lose the last shred of pride he had.-

No way he could admit that, not even if his life depended on it!

Walter hardened his resolve and looked away. "I just won't do it, okay? Get over it. There's no way I'll agree to a divorce from Evangeline!"

His voice was firm, but it only fueled Evangeline's uncles' anger.

That little jerk! Messing up his own life was one thing, but dragging Evie down with him? That was on him.

Out of nowhere, Holden's hand shot out, grabbing Walter by the collar.

"You stubborn kid, you won't budge, will you?"

Walter, who had never been manhandled like this, was livid. However, he remembered this was Evangeline's uncle, and just like that, his anger fizzled out.

He wanted a life with Evangeline, so how could he ever stand up to her uncles?

"I won't do it." Walter's answer came out even stronger than before.

Before Walter could even blink, the door burst open and a fist came flying at him. His left eye exploded in pain, and all he saw was the fading shadow of that punch, with Holden's triumphant grin etched into his vision. "Try me, kid. Say it one more time, do you want this divorce or not?"

Walter defiantly turned his head away. "No way. I'd rather take a beating than agree to that!"

"Oh, we'll see about that..."

Holden was practically rubbing his hands with glee. "It's been ages since I've thrown a punch. This'll be a great chance to get back in the swing of things!"

When it was an uncle versus his nephew-in-law, all Walter could do was prepare for the worst.

Facing all five uncles at once, he was not sure he would even make it to see tomorrow's sunrise.

Determined not to make Evangeline a widow, he held up a hand to call for a timeout.

"It's not fair for you to just wail on me. I'm not standing for it!"

Holden's grip on Walter's collar tightened, and he could not help but chuckle at Walter's attempt to negotiate. "Not standing for it, huh? Tell me, what's your beef?"

"If you hit me and I can't hit back, that's what I'm not standing for!"

Walter stood his ground, his neck stiff with resolve. "If you're so set on beating some sense into me, Uncle, it can't be a one-sided fight!"

James, the ever-fair mediator, stepped forward.

"Alright, how about this? A fair one-on-one fight. Walter, if you lose, you sign those divorce papers on the spot, and none of us brothers will ever bug you about Evie again."

Walter promised with all his heart, "Deal!"

Holden lit up at the challenge. "That's the spirit, kid!"

Yale, who had seen his fair share of action as a special forces soldier, stepped in front of Holden, ready to intervene.

"Holden, you're not exactly a gym rat. Let me handle this and wrap it up quickly!"

Holden was too stubborn to listen
