The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305: The News Has Now Shifted

After Axel left, Evelyn spent the day with Oliver.

They love skimming through books, watching fun cartoons, and building towers, though they’ve collapsed at least five times!

Plus, they enjoy munching on muffins and donuts every hour, making every moment sweet and delightful.

By afternoon, Oliver finally grew sleepy and drifted into a peaceful nap.

Evelyn sat beside him for a while, watching his chest rise and fall, then quietly left the room and headed to her home office.

Only then did she check her phone.

The moment Evelyn unlocked the screen, she was utterly shocked.

The news notifications had changed; they no longer reported stories about her and her son.

The headlines she saw made her fingers tremble.

[CEO Natalie Martinez Is Not Who the Public Thinks She Is]

[Exposed: Natalie Martinez’s Private Scandals Rock the Entertainment Industry]

[Behind Closed Doors: How Natalie Martinez Exploited Young Talents for Personal Gain]

Her fingers trembled slightly as she scrolled down.

Each headline felt heavier than the last. She hesitated for a moment, then tapped the first article.

The opening paragraph hit her like a cold wave. The article detailed how Natalie Martinez, once praised as a visionary leader in the entertainment world, had allegedly abused her authority.

Multiple anonymous testimonies described how young talents under her agency were pressured into maintaining inappropriate personal relationships in exchange for career opportunities. Contracts, messages, and financial records were cited as evidence, painting a picture far uglier than Evelyn had expected.

Her lips parted in disbelief as she opened the following article.

This one went even further. It spoke about private villas, lavish gifts, and secret arrangements hidden behind legal clauses. Investigators had reportedly confirmed that several underage trainees had been removed from public records after leaving the agency abruptly. Parents were silenced through settlements. Former staff members described a culture of fear, control, and manipulation.

Evelyn’s hand flew to her mouth.

"This is insane..." she whispered.

The third article left her completely speechless. It detailed how Natalie’s carefully crafted public image had been maintained by suppressing rumors for years, until one leaked internal report triggered a chain reaction. Authorities were now involved. Sponsors had begun withdrawing. The empire Natalie Martinez built was collapsing in real time.

Evelyn leaned back against the sofa, stunned.

Then, slowly, understanding dawned on her.

A soft laugh escaped her lips, followed by another. Soon, she was shaking her head in disbelief, a smile forming against her will.

"Axel..." she murmured.

Of course, this was him. But she didn’t expect him to move this fast. She remembered that only last night they had talked about it, and here he was, already punishing Natalie.

She scrolled down to the comment section, curiosity replacing shock. The tone had entirely shifted from yesterday.

"She deserves this. Power like that was wasted on her."

"So this is the woman who thought she could destroy someone else’s family."

"Karma works fast when you hurt someone else’s innocent son."

"She is a bitch. How could she after young people?"

Evelyn exhaled deeply, satisfaction settling in her chest.

And somehow, for the first time since the rumors about her and Oliver surfaced, she felt relieved.

She was just about to text Axel when her phone suddenly rang, the sound slicing through the quiet room.

"Yes. David Hamm was in Grayenfall. He flew to Willowcrest by helicopter and helped treat Oliver right away."

There was a beat of silence.

Then Stella groaned. "Why does my boss always show up in the most dramatic ways? Now I cannot even complain about him at work anymore. He rescued my little Oliver."

Evelyn laughed.

"You can still complain. Just quietly."

"So," Stella said, her tone softening, "can I come visit you on Saturday? I want to see Oliver and make sure he is really okay."

"Saturday is not good," Evelyn answered. "I already have plans."

Stella clicked her tongue. "What kind of plans could be more important than your favorite sister?"

"You can visit us on Sunday instead," Evelyn corrected. "On Saturday, we are visiting someone else."

"Someone else?" Stella’s curiosity spiked. "Who?"

"You don’t know them. But I have to have lunch with them."

"Oh," Stella breathed. "That sounds serious if someone drags you out of your house."

Evelyn nodded even though Stella could not see her. "It is. Well, I will tell you later..."

"Well," Stella said lightly, "I will wait, sis. I will come on Saturday with my mom."

Evelyn chuckled. "Alright, then. See you both..."

After ending the call, Evelyn leaned back against the sofa, feeling calmer. Yet as her thoughts drifted back to the Morgan family, her heart fluttered again.

Excitement and worry tangled together, reminding her that Saturday would bring another turning point in her life.
