Eugene lingered outside the chaotic district for a long time, not daring to return. He was terrified of leading the people tailing him straight to her.
He wondered how Vivienne Hargrave was doing.
He hadn't left much behind in the room.
But this was a lawless zone, a slum with zero oversight. He had left cash in the apartment, and as long as she was careful, she should be fine.
But...
Eugene pulled out his phone. After a moment of hesitation, he dialed Vivienne's number.
Just like before, no one answered.
He didn't know why she wasn't picking up, but with the heat on them lately, it was normal to lay low.
[Things are too tight right now. We'll lay low for a bit longer, then figure out a way across the border.]
He had already seen the wanted posters online. They couldn't stay in the country anymore.
Fortunately, he had underground channels to smuggle them out.
It was just that the borders were strictly locked down right now. Things would ease up in a while.
Eugene dodged the surveillance cameras and bought some basic daily necessities.
Online, the heat surrounding Vivienne remained sky-high.
With criminal charges looming, even her former PR team had publicly apologized to Emilia Dennis.
There was no whitewashing this.
As a result, a massive wave of fans turned against her.
Especially the former die-hard fans—the ones who had trusted her the most were now the most vicious.
They leaked even more of her dark secrets.
Wave after wave of trending topics consumed the internet.
But all this dirt only made the public more sympathetic toward Emilia.
"Vivienne really wanted to destroy her completely!"
"Yeah, thank God the truth came out. Otherwise, who knows how badly Emilia would have been ruined."
"Speaking of which, did you guys see the latest gossip? Emilia and Theodore Glenn's mother were on a massive shopping spree at the mall. Rumor has it they get along incredibly well. Do you think they'll get married?"
