Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)

Chapter 529

What Evangeline did not know was that just as she walked out of the salon, Celina sent David a message

[Are you outside?)

Following Walter's orders, David secretly watched over Evangeline untill he personally saw her retum to the villa at the Emerald of the Highlands,

So, when he found out that Evangeline had come to the salon for a facial, the followed her there. He was a regular at the salon, and he trusted that Celina would recognize his car and would not do anything to Evangeline, Relieved, he quietly waited outside.

Just as his attention was focused on Evangeline, who was about to walk out of the salon, his phone pinged with a new message. Instinctively, he glanced at the screen

When he saw that it was from Celina, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

He replied, [Yes]

It was the first time Celina had ever sent him a message, and David's fingers trembled happily

He was not expecting her next message to come so soon.

[Do you remember the gift I gave you when we first met?

By this time, Evangeline had already gotten into her car. David instructed the driver to start the engine and follow her, while he continued replying to Celina.

He typed back, [Of course. It was a silver needle.]

The uniqueness of that gift had left David in a difficult position. He wanted to carry it with him but feared it might hurt him, so he bought a small, delicate box to store it.

He expected Celina to reply quickly, but after waiting and waiting, there was no further message from her.

Finally, he gave up and shifted his focus back to Evangeline's car.

His task was of utmost importance. If he did not have to watch over Evangeline, he would have stormed into the beauty salon to confront Celina about what she meant by suddenly bringing up the token of affection' and then going silent. Was she playing games with him? While David was lost in thought, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, making him furious.

"I told you to follow her car! Why did you stop?" David shouted.

The driver's face turned pale with fear as he quickly explained, "Madam's car suddenly made a turn. It's not heading toward the Emerald of the Highlands. I think she might've realized we were following her!"

Just then, the flashy red Maserati turned around and pulled up right next to David's car.

"Mr. Zimmer; what a coincidence," said Evangeline with a meaningful smile, her eyes curving into a sly expression. Chapter 539

"It sure is," David forced a couple of awkward laughs, not knowing what else to say. After all, he had been the one following her, and he had been caught red-handed... Evangeline did not care about his awkwardness.

"Mr. Zimmer, I know how to get home. You don't need to trouble yourself leading the way, Safe travels," she said with a polite smile, though her tone suggested otherwise, Despite her farewell words, Evangeline's car did not show any intention of moving. Instead, her gaze remained fixed on David, her eyes unblinking.

It was obvious that by 'safe travels, she meant that David should leave.

David racked his brain, trying to think of something to say to stall for time so he could consult with his boss.

As his gaze shifted, something caught his attention-a white handkerchief.

"Madam, may I take a look at your handkerchief?" he asked.

He remembered clearly that when Evangeline left Andrew's place, she did not have that handkerchief with her.

Which meant the handkerchief could only have come from... the salon!
