Meanwhile, in The Valley…
Evelyn was about to slam her laptop shut and call it a day when her phone buzzed on the table.
She didn't even look at the screen. In her mind, there was only one person who would text her at this hour.
Axel.
But when she finally glanced at her phone, her expectation was shattered.
Oscar.
And the message? Shockingly short... suspiciously short, in fact.
"Check the internet!"
Evelyn stared at her screen, blinking slowly.
"What else is on the internet?" she muttered, rubbing her temple.
The last thing she needed was another trending scandal, celebrity meltdown, or political circus to ruin her appetite.
Still, curiosity dragged her right back to her laptop.
She reopened it lazily and clicked on her usual news site. The page loaded, and the headline at the top nearly punched the air out of her lungs.
[ Maxime Knight has been declared dead due to a heart attack. ]
