Chapter 112

The entire Blackwood family turned their attention to Evelyn, who stood frozen, her mind clearly racing to process the shocking information she'd just uncovered.

What could possibly be so scandalous that even Evelyn—who thrived on Hollywood's juiciest secrets—was left speechless? The suspense was killing them.

Finally, Sophia couldn't take it anymore. "So? What's the latest on those three?"

The question snapped Evelyn out of her daze.

This world is insane. Who knew a hospital could be such a hotbed of drama?

The Blackwoods held their breath. Out with it already!

Oh, this is too good not to share!

Margaret thought, Just say it out loud, for heaven's sake!

Turns out, after last night's wild reconciliation party, Sebastian and Seraphina—drunk and nostalgic—retreated to their room to "rekindle their passion."

Julian rolled his eyes. "Not surprising. They did just get back together."

But then, Seraphina received a text. Adrian hadn't left. She rushed out, only to find him lingering in the hallway, looking conflicted. Before she could speak, he swept her into his arms and carried her to the guest room, where they—

The Blackwoods collectively groaned. These three are a mess.

Later, after Seraphina passed out, Adrian had an epiphany: he didn’t just admire Sebastian—he wanted him. No wonder he'd been so obsessed with the rumors.

Nathan’s expression darkened. Do I even want to hear the rest?

Then Adrian barged into Sebastian’s room…

The Blackwoods gasped.

No. Way.

Julian, usually unshakable, looked horrified. He’d suspected Adrian had ulterior motives, but this?

Sebastian, half-conscious from the alcohol, woke up just in time to realize what was happening. Chaos erupted—fists flew, furniture shattered. Both men ended up unconscious, half-dressed, with suspicious marks on Sebastian’s neck.

And who walked in at that exact moment?

Seraphina.

With four people in tow.

Silence fell over the Blackwood breakfast table.

Meanwhile, Sebastian’s bedroom echoed with screams. Seraphina collapsed against the door, gagging. The others shouted, trying to rouse the two men, but their swollen faces and bloodied lips told the whole story.

Cue the ambulance.

I never saw this twist coming, Evelyn mused. Sebastian’s already humiliated, and now Terrence is spilling secrets? Once he finds out how Seraphina betrayed him back then… yikes. Remember his speech last night? What a joke.

The Blackwoods exchanged glances. Sebastian was done for.

By now, they’d lost their appetites.

Richard cleared his throat. "Nathan, take the day off. Let that injury heal."

Nathan nodded.

Margaret added, "We should get your bandages changed at the hospital later."

Another nod.

Sophia opened her mouth—"I’ll go with—" but Margaret shot her a look. She quickly corrected herself, grinning at Evelyn. "Oh! That’s why you woke up early, Evie. You’re going with Nathan, right?"

Evelyn nodded.

He got hurt because of me. Least I can do is help.

Nathan’s lips twitched.

Also, he’s my cash cow. Gotta keep him happy.

His smile vanished.

The Blackwoods stifled laughter.

At the hospital, after Nathan’s check-up, reporters suddenly swarmed the building.

Evelyn’s first thought: Did my disguise fail?

But then—

"Celebrity sighting?" Nathan murmured, glancing at her pointedly.

Evelyn’s eyes widened.

Wait… is this the same hospital? Are they here about the Terrence scandal?

Karma’s a bitch, huh?

"Should we… take a peek?" Nathan suggested.

Meanwhile, in Room 407—

Sebastian’s face drained of color as he read Terrence’s explosive post:

"Want the truth? Seraphina sold you out years ago. Half a million to sabotage your audition. And that ‘accident’ that ruined your career? She paid me to do it. Bank records don’t lie."

The online world erupted.

Sebastian’s hands shook. His gaze locked onto Seraphina, who backed away, trembling.

Adrian smirked. "She’s trash, Sebastian."

With a roar, Sebastian lunged, choking her. "You ruined me!"

Seraphina screamed, breaking free just as—

Click. The door flew open.

Dozens of cameras flashed.

"Sebastian! Are you with Seraphina or Adrian?" a reporter shouted.

Chaos erupted—again.

Evelyn sighed. Best. Hospital trip. Ever.
