302 The Reports He’s Been Waiting For
Standing by the window outside Oliver’s bedroom, Axel dialed the number without hesitation. @
The line connected almost instantly.
“Boss, I’m d you called me now,” Collins said from the other end, his tone crisp and professional. “I’ve just finished everything you instructed me to do.”
“Exin,” Axel replied, his voice low and sharp.
Collins cleared his throat slightly, slipping into report mode. “All news articles rted to Lady Boss have been taken down. Not only the original sources, but also secondary reposts, mirrored links, and cached pages. We issued formal legal warnings to every media outlet involved.”

Axel said nothing, his fingers tightening around the phone.
“We made it very clear,” Collins continued, “any media tform that continues to publish or circte defamatory content about Lady Boss, your child, or your family will face immediatewsuits. In addition, all corporate partnerships and advertising contracts with Apex Holding will be terminated without negotiation.”
“And the official announcement?” Axel asked
calmly.
“It has been released,” Collins replied. “A public statement from Apex Holding dering zero tolerance toward nder, baseless rumors, and malicious reporting. It clearly states that legal action will be taken against individuals, forums, and organizations spreading false narratives.”
Axel closed his eyes briefly.
“And the effect?” he asked.

Collins chuckled softly.
“Immediate. Within minutes of the
announcement going live,ment sections started disappearing. Users deleted their own remarks. Several forums locked threads voluntarily. Articles mentioning Lady Boss and young master were quietly removed.”
“Fear spreads faster than gossip,” Axel said tly.
“Yes, boss,” Collins agreed. “Many of them are scrambling now. Some even sent apology emails to our legal department.”
“Good,” Axel replied, his tone icy. “That means they know they crossed a line.”
“Boss, anything else you need me to do?” Collins asked.
Axel did not answer right away.
His gaze drifted through the ss, watching the dimly lit garden below.

Relief pressed against his chest, heavy but
controlled.
The immediate threat was gone, but the damage done to Evelyn’s heart still burned in his mind. She was pregnant. She was fragile in ways she refused to show. And those people had dared to drag her and their son into filth.
After a moment, Axel spoke again.
“I want you to punish the source of this mess,” he said slowly. “Natalie Martinez.”
There was a brief pause on the other end before Collins answered, his voice sharpening with
interest. “Understood. How far do you want me to go, boss?”
“Make her busy,” Axel said. “Start with herpany. The entertainment agency. Dig into their financial irregrities, tax issues, and contract vitions. Push regtors toward them.”

“Yes, boss,” Collins replied confidently. “We already have some files on that agency.”
“That’s not all,” Axel continued, his eyes darkening. “Expose her personal scandals. She has a habit of dating actors under her management. Her role is a sugar mommy to several young men. At the same time!”
Collins let out a low whistle. “You want full
exposure?”
Axel’s lips curved slightly, but there was no warmth in his expression. “Controlled exposure. I read your earlier report. She keeps an underage hidden, doesn’t she?”
“Yes,” Collins answered. “Several, actually.”
“Expose it selectively,” Axel said. “But make sure none of her victims are revealed. Keep their identities protected. I don’t want coteral damage.”

“Understood, boss,” Collins replied. “You want her isted, not defended.”
“I want her to suffer,” Axel said calmly. “Slowly.”
There was a brief silence, then Collinsughed under his breath. “Boss, remind me never to be
on your bad side.”
Axel did not respond to the joke.
“Proceed,” he said instead. “Text me if you need approval for anything major.”
“Yes, boss,” Collins replied. “I’ll get started immediately.”
The call ended.
Axel lowered the phone, his grip still tight. The anger inside him did not fade. It only sharpened, like a de honed carefully for a single target.
He exhaled slowly, forcing himself to calm down.
This was not just about revenge.

It was about protection.
His gaze shifted toward Oliver’s bedroom door. His son was finally sleeping peacefully after a long day of fever and exhaustion. And Evelyn, carrying another life inside her, had been forced to read words sharp enough to wound deeper than any de.
He pressed his palm against the cool ss of the
window.
I won’t let anyone hurt them again, he vowed silently.
After a few minutes, Axel finally moved.
He did not enter Oliver’s room. Instead, he walked quietly down the stairs toward the first floor, his steps measured and soundless. He headed straight to his bedroom.
Before opening the door, he nced at his watch. It was past one in the morning.

Carefully, he turned the handle and slipped
inside.
The room was dim, bathed in soft moonlight streaming through the curtains. His eyes immediately found Evelyn.
She was sleeping.
Her breathing was slow and even, her face rxed. That view is easing the tight knot in his chest. The tension that had carved itself into his expression finally softened.
Axel stood there for a long moment, simply watching her.
In the pale light, she looked fragile and beautiful. One hand rested on her belly unconsciously, as if protecting the life growing inside her even in sleep.
He stepped closer, his movements gentle, afraid even the sound of his breath might wake her.

‘Eve, no worries, he thought quietly. “Tomorrow, when you wake up, everything will be alright<b>: </b>
He leaned down and ced a soft kiss on her forehead, lingering just a second longer than
necessary.
“No one will make you worry again,” he whispered so softly it barely carried a sound.
After ensuring she remained asleep, Axel straightened and left the room just as quietly.
He returned to the second floor, heading back toward Oliver’s bedroom.
But before his hand could reach the door, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
Axel frowned.
He pulled it out, expecting another message from Collins.
Instead, an unfamiliar number shed on the

A single message stared back at him.
<i>“</i>Axel, I <i>need </i><i>to </i><i>meet </i>you.”
His eyes pinched instantly.
