Chapter 444

Julian Roland slammed his palm on the coffee table in the Roland family living room. "Find them! We must uncover who took those photos!"

"Father, I've already contacted campus security," Edward Roland adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze sharp as a blade behind the lenses.

Sophia Roland clutched her phone tightly. "Evelyn must be devastated right now..."

"I'm going to check the school's surveillance footage," Alexander Roland stood abruptly, only to be yanked back by his father.

Meanwhile, Isabella Langley stared at her phone screen, nails digging into her palms. The flood of concern for Evelyn in the group chat made her stomach churn.

"Isabella? You look pale," a coworker asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," she forced a smile and flipped her phone face down.

The family group chat buzzed with heated discussions until Edward's message cut through: "We'll proceed as Evelyn wishes."

The scene shifted to Evelyn Roland, flanked by Sebastian Valdemar and Bianca Savigny as they whispered strategies. A sudden video call interrupted them.

"Evelyn!" Four anxious faces crowded the screen.

"Mom, Dad, brothers—don't worry," Evelyn reassured them with a calm smile. "I have a plan."

After hearing her scheme, the family relaxed—except Alexander, who fumed. "Those unethical media outlets need to be shut down!"

"Brother, their insults are too amateurish," Evelyn blinked playfully.

"You're serious?" Alexander gaped, wondering if the backlash had broken his sister.

After the call, Evelyn logged into Weibo and typed: See you all live tomorrow. A warning to certain people—don't provoke me.

The post went viral instantly. Netizens erupted with speculation about her next move.

Alexander forwarded it to the family group and paced the living room. Suddenly inspired, he pulled out his phone.

Ding—

Ding-ding-ding—

Four consecutive transfer notifications chimed. Evelyn arched a brow at the staggering sums on her screen.

"Master, this is..." Bianca peered over, eyes widening.

Sebastian's gaze also locked onto the amounts. Then—a fifth transfer alert popped up.

All three froze in unison.
