Meanwhile, Matteo remained eerily calm. He signaled for the cameras to keep rolling.
The live stream chat exploded. Viewers flooded the screen with exclamation marks and question marks, trying to make sense of
what was happening.

This woman was sent by a friend of mine, no, I guess you can say, my enemy. They found someone who looked like my lover and
planted her by my side.
“I played along, encouraged her to grow her online presence, and funneled money into boosting her content, all so that today’s
broadcast would reach as many people as possible.
“Evelyn, I know I was wrong. You will be the only wife I will ever have in this lifetime. No matter where you are, no matter what
you’re doing, I swear I will find you.
“You promised me that you would stay by my side forever. If anyone watching this live stream knows where Evelyn is and if you
have any information on her whereabouts, I’m willing to offer a generous reward. Thank you.”
Behind him, the massive LED screen that had been displaying videos of him and Wendy suddenly glitched. Then, it switched to a
photo of Evelyn.
The next second, the live stream was cut off.
At the same time, Caroline stood in the audience, her face dark with rage as she ended the call.
She was the one who shut down the stream.
Staring at Matteo on stage, his eyes filled with something bordering on madness, she could only feel deep disappointment.
The spectacle finally ended.
Wendy was dragged away by security, and Matteo was escorted to his car by his friends.
“Matt, did you really have to do all this? There are plenty of ways to find Evelyn. You just pissed off your mom big time.”
However, Matteo leaned back in his seat, smiling as he scrolled through his phone.
Countless trending topics about him flooded the screen.
A rare smile crept onto his lips.
“This is the only way to get more people to see it. Now, the internet will help me track Eve down. As long as she comes back,
nothing else
matters.”
