Chapter 326

The screen glared back at Evelyn with venomous words:

#I heard the mother of those two kids is a gold-digging slut who had them out of wedlock. And Nathan Goldmann wants to be with trash like that?

#She’s using her kids to latch onto Adrian Boucher for clout. Disgusting! Get out of Cornelia, you don’t deserve either Adrian or Nathan!

Evelyn’s fingers trembled as she scrolled through the hateful comments targeting her children. Her chest tightened, a cold fury settling in her bones.

Gregory noticed her expression darken. "Zoe, these are just paid trolls. Look—all anonymous accounts."

"Can you trace them?" Her voice was dangerously low.

Gregory nodded. "I’ll do my best."

The moment he left, Evelyn clenched her fists so hard her nails bit into her palms.

Whoever did this will pay.

In a dim internet café, Vivian smirked as she transferred another batch of payments to the hired trolls.

She had spent nearly $50,000 so far, but it was worth it.

Watching the online mob tear into Liam and Daisy filled her with vicious satisfaction.

Let those little brats drown in the hate. Evelyn deserves to suffer.

By morning, Liam and Daisy’s names were trending.

The internet had split into warring factions—some defending the children, others spewing vitriol. Even Adrian Boucher’s fanbase fractured under the chaos.

Nathan slammed his tablet onto the desk and grabbed his phone. "Take down those trending tags. Call every major media outlet—I’m making an announcement."

That evening, as Liam and Daisy stepped out of the studio, a mob descended.

Angela and the bodyguards shielded them, but the crowd screamed:

"You little bastards! Go to hell!"

"Your whore mother thinks she can trap Adrian with you? Quit acting!"

Angela snarled, "You sick freaks! How dare you say that to kids?"

Liam pulled Daisy close, his small frame rigid with fury.

Then—a water bottle hurtled toward them.

Evelyn lunged, shielding them. The bottle struck her back with a hollow thud.

"Mommy!" Liam’s eyes burned with rage.

She smoothed their hair. "Stay here."

Then she turned, grabbed the woman who threw it, and slammed her to the ground.

Silence.

Evelyn’s voice cut like ice. "Choose: hospital or police station?"

The bodyguards cracked their knuckles.

The crowd scattered, hurling curses over their shoulders.

Evelyn dropped to her knees, pulling Liam and Daisy into a tight embrace. "Are you okay?"

Liam touched her back gently. "Mommy… does it hurt?"

Her heart shattered.

Maybe I never should’ve let them into this world.
