The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn and Axel) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 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 glad 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."

"Explain," Axel replied, his voice low and sharp.

Collins cleared his throat slightly, slipping into report mode. "All news articles related 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 platform that continues to publish or circulate defamatory content about Lady Boss, your child, or your family will face immediate lawsuits. 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 declaring zero tolerance toward slander, 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, comment 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 flatly.

"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 glass, 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 her company. The entertainment agency. Dig into their financial irregularities, tax issues, and contract violations. Push regulators 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 collateral damage."

"Understood, boss," Collins replied. "You want her isolated, not defended."

"I want her to suffer," Axel said calmly. "Slowly."
