Chapter 138: Evelyn’s Downfall

The tension in the summit hall was suffocating. The once-confident murmur of whispers had died down, replaced by a chilling quiet that seemed to hum with anticipation. Malia stood at the back of the room, her gaze fixed on the front where Nixus was still addressing the crowd, revealing layer after layer of Evelyn's corruption. The moment of reckoning was here, and Malia could feel the weight of it in her chest.

It had started with the undeniable evidence—the documents, the bank transfers, the secret meetings. The cracks in Evelyn's empire had widened, and now they were on the verge of collapse. The room was divided, many of Evelyn's former allies shifting their positions, unsure whether to side with her or turn their backs and protect their own futures. It wasn't just about loyalty anymore; it was about survival.
