The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn and Axel) novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: This is My Favorite Plot Twist

Evelyn smiled at him. "So what now? What did my dad do after you told him everything?"

"He cried. Then he swore he would never see her again. I think he is finally learning his lesson."

Evelyn let out a long breath of relief. "Good. That woman deserves every ounce of karma coming her way."

"Speaking of karma," Axel said, eyeing her phone, "are you going to reply to her?"

A wicked grin tugged at Evelyn’s lips. "Oh, I will. Just not politely."

Axel lifted an eyebrow. "Do you need help?"

"I think I have learned enough from the master."

He chuckled, warm and proud. "That’s my wife."

Evelyn opened the message thread, typed quickly, and hit send.

"Maybe William finally realized you are the problem. Try reflection, not manipulation."

She set her phone down and leaned back, feeling a satisfying warmth spread through her chest.

"Savage," Axel murmured.

"Learned from the best," she replied.

Axel reached over and brushed his thumb across her cheek. His touch was soft but carried that quiet confidence she had grown addicted to.

Her cheeks warmed under his gaze. She pushed his hand away playfully. "Focus on the road, Mr. Knight."

"As you wish, Mrs. Knight," he said with a grin before looking forward again.

For a moment, the car settled into a peaceful silence.

Evelyn watched the sunlight reflect off passing buildings and felt her heart steady.

The chaos that had stalked her these past months finally felt distant, almost unreal.

But then a thought flashed across her mind, sharp enough to make her sit up straight.

"Axel," she called, startling him. "How about Lana’s son? Is he actually my dad’s child?"

Instead of answering, Axel burst into laughter.

Evelyn blinked, then began laughing as well, the sound filling the car.

"Wow, so he is not my father’s son? This is my favorite plot twist. I bet my father will soon crawl back to Alice, begging for her forgiveness. What a poor soul. He must be regretting every stupid mistake he made in his life."

"Well, you are wrong, Eve. That boy is your father’s son."

Evelyn stopped laughing.

"What? He is? Then why were you laughing?"

"I laughed," Axel said calmly, "because I am going to make your father believe that boy is not his. I will alter every DNA test they have. I will make sure Lana goes crazy trying to convince him."

Evelyn gasped, staring at him with wide eyes.

The way he said it, so relaxed, as if he were discussing dinner plans, made her throat tighten. His plan was undeniably evil. But she did not stop him. She did not even consider it.

Because William Walters deserved every piece of the ruin headed his way. He had hurt her, Alice, and Stella so deeply. She even had to spend years drowning in pain. If this were Lady Justice doing, she would not stand in her way.

For the first time in years, she felt a deep, overwhelming sense of satisfaction. Her father would finally face consequences for everything he had destroyed.

The car continued down the long, sunlit road, and the tension in her chest slowly began to ease. Just as she began to relax again, her phone buzzed.

Another message from Lana lit up the screen.

"You will regret this, Evelyn."
