Chapter 271

Two hours later, the internet exploded with a scandalous revelation.

"Exclusive! The secret wife of Blackstone Group's CEO, Nathan Black, finally exposed! She's none other than Serena Cole, the renowned violinist from the Sonata Philharmonic!"

The post went viral across all social media platforms, amassing millions of views and comments within minutes.

"I always knew Mr. Black married young, but I never imagined his wife would be Serena Cole! She's phenomenal—I've attended her concerts before. Her violin skills are mesmerizing!"

"Ugh, so jealous! Being married to the CEO of Blackstone Group is every woman's dream!"

"They look absolutely perfect together!"

"Honestly? I don’t think Serena is even in Nathan’s league. She’s talented, sure, but looks-wise? Not even close."

The gossip spread like wildfire, igniting endless debates.

Even the doctors at Grand Oak General Hospital’s Cardiac Surgery Department couldn’t resist discussing it during their break.

"Did you see the trending news? Nathan Black’s wife is actually Serena Cole!" one doctor exclaimed, eyes gleaming with intrigue.

Another leaned in, lowering their voice. "I heard from the ER nurses that Mr. Black has been seen visiting Serena’s hospital room multiple times. People suspected they were dating, but married? That’s a bombshell!"

Evelyn Hartley stood nearby, her expression icy and composed as she listened to their conversation.

Her sharp eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in their depths.

Within seconds, her lips curled into a mocking smirk, her gaze dripping with sarcasm.

Lila Sinclair, who had been eavesdropping, glanced at Evelyn with barely concealed amusement.

She wondered how Evelyn would react if she saw the photos and comments online, all praising Nathan and Serena as the perfect couple.

The thought filled Lila with vicious satisfaction.

So what if Evelyn was Nathan’s real wife? Hardly anyone knew.

Who even recognized Evelyn as Mrs. Black?

Now, the world was buzzing about Serena being Nathan’s beloved wife.

No one had a clue that Evelyn was the one truly married to him.

The sheer irony of it made Lila want to laugh.

Just as Evelyn stepped out of the office, her phone rang.

She pulled it out, frowning slightly at the caller ID before answering.

"Grandma."
