Chapter 299
Walter did not care if he threw James off his schedule. He planted himself in front of James’s car,
stubborn as a mule.
“Walter, when did you sign up for security duty?” asked James sarcastically, stepping out of his car with a sigh. “If you’re going to play watchdog, shouldn’t you be on your own turf? What’s the deal with camping out at my place?”
The Fosters had a top–notch security setup. The second Walter took up his post, James got the heads–up from his bodyguards. He knew exactly why Walter was there, even if he pretended otherwise.
James had figured the high–and–mighty young master would crack after getting the cold shoulder from the Foster clan and beat a hasty retreat. Walter was full of surprises, though, holding his ground for two days without budging an inch.
James had to step in, worried that the ruckus might tip Cole off to something being amiss, It was time to confront Walter head–on.
Walter could easily pick up on the sarcasm in James‘ words, but he had bigger fish to fry. Finding Evangeline was his priority, and he was not in the mood for a squabble.
“James, Evangeline’s been gone for days. You have to know something about where she is, right?”
It was like when Julia went missing–Evangeline had immediately pointed fingers at Walter.
The Gordons were the big shots in the South, and the Fosters ran the North.
When Evangeline vanished into thin air, Walter’s gut told him the Fosters were keeping her under wraps.
James let out a mocking laugh. “Mr. Walter Gordon, Evie’s your wife. If you don’t have a clue where she’s off to, how do you expect us, her uncles, to know? I should be asking you–where have you kept my niece? The Foster family’s been tearing our hair out looking for her. Got any idea about that?”
James looked worried and urgent, but his tone said something else.
“I’m going to ask you one more time. Do you honestly have no idea where she’s gone?” Walter, knowing how fiercely the Foster uncles would guard Evangeline, pressed on with the question.
“If I knew where she was, would I be here telling you we’re going nuts trying to find her? And after what you’ve done to Evie, even if I did know, I wouldn’t spill the beans to you. Better scoot back to your Gordon turf and quit making a scene at our doorstep!”
It was obvious he wanted Walter to go.
Walter Gordon, usually on top of the world, could not believe he was actually being kicked out. However, anger was a luxury he could not afford at the moment.
James, being Evangeline’s uncle, had to be worried about her.
Walter was clueless about where Evangeline could be, though…
Where could she have gone?
Then it hit him.

Chapter 299
Roslyn, Evangeline’s best friend.
Evangeline was not one to have a lot of friends, so if her uncles were in the dark, Roslyn had to be in the
know!
With that thought, Walter swiftly called his assistant, David.
“Track down Roslyn’s location, now. I need to see her, and the sooner, the better!”
David was on it, and within five minutes, he texted the location of the set where Roslyn was working.
Roslyn was making her mark in showbiz, spending her days on set, learning lines, and shooting scenes. She was so busy that she barely got four or five hours of sleep each night.
When Walter Gordon dropped in unannounced, Roslyn was anything but thrilled.
If he had not messed with her line rehearsal, she might actually get her full five hours of sleep on this night
“Mr. Walter Gordon, I’m swamped. If you’ve got something to say, make it quick.”
