However, there was Julia, whom he had sent off to Northern Montavia. In a twist of events, the Bennisons had sneakily helped her switch identities and pulled her into their orbit.
The string of coincidences was too much for Walter to brush off as mere chance.
What was the Bennison family really after? If David was right, they were gunning for the Gordons and the Fosters
How bold must they be to even think about taking over both families‘ empires?
By then, Julia’s true identity was the least of Walter’s concerns. The Bennisons, on the other hand, were a puzzle he intended to solve.
The following day, the Sunny Glow Beauty Salon had the honor of serving a very prestigious client.
She arrived with a subtle curve to her belly, draped in Chanel’s latest winter collection–a limited edition that kept her cozy and showcased her stunning figure to perfection.
That woman was none other than Evangeline.
The moment Evangeline found out that Lydia, the one behind her mother’s tragic death, was hiding out in this beauty salon, she could not hold back her fury. Ignoring the fact that she was pregnant, she decided to scope out the place herself.
It was a cozy salon, but the service was outstanding, far better than other places of the same size.
That must be the secret to its success–no big reputation, but a loyal following and a growing list of clients in no time.
As Evangeline blinked her stunning eyes, taking in the scene, she was there on a mission: to figure out the salon’s layout and where Lydia could be stashed away.
She examined every nook and cranny with eagle eyes.
However, as she glanced down, she spotted a face beaming with shock.
“Am I seeing things, or are you… Evangeline, Ms. Rearden? Our little princess?”
Evangeline was baffled at first, but when she recalled the affectionate nickname her online fans used, it clicked.
“You recognize me?”
She had a bunch of Twitter followers, but it never interfered with her day–to–day life. The whole ‘public figure‘ thing had not quite sunk in for her.
“Yep!” The girl nodded with the enthusiasm of a chick pecking at the ground. “I’m a huge fan, I absolutely adore you!”
Meeting a far while on a stealth mission at the salon was the last thing Evangeline expected. On the other hand, maybe this could work to her advantage?
“Hey there, thanks so much for the love.”

After a quick thank–you, Evangeline chatted up the girl as if they were old friends.

“How long have you been working here? This is my first visit, can I just browse around?” Evangeline’s question snapped the receptionist back to reality, reminding her that she was still on the clock.
Even so, when her idol walked in, she treated her with utter respect and reverence.
“Absolutely, feel free to explore. Our salon’s services and skincare results are top of the line, you can trust us on that.”
The receptionist flashed a bright, welcoming smile and gestured for Evangeline to follow her, pointing out
where to go.
She had no idea that while the salon was a bubble of bliss, outside it was like a bomb had gone off.
Over at the Gordon Group’s president’s office…
“Mr. Walter Gordon, we’ve got a major problem!”
