Chapter 77: A Door Opens, A Trap Closes
Eryx rushed out of the mansion, heading straight for his car. The moment he slipped into the driver’s seat, he dialed Callum’s number without hesitation.
"Inform the press," he ordered the second the call connected. "Tell them I’m married."
There was a brief pause on the other end before Callum spoke, his tone laced with disbelief. "Are you sure, sir?"
Eryx’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. "Just do it. As soon as possible."
Callum hesitated for a moment before asking carefully, "Shall I include any details about your wife?"
Eryx’s gaze darkened as he stared ahead. "No. Leave out the details. Just a brief introduction, like... she’s an ordinary netizen. Nothing more."
Callum hesitated before speaking again. "But sir, the press will start digging. Should we at least include her age or something to control the speculation?"
Eryx considered it for a moment, then said, "Twenty-three. That’s all they need to know."
Callum, ever the professional, didn’t question further. "Understood. I’ll make the announcement within the hour."
Eryx ended the call and exhaled sharply, gripping the steering wheel. Starting the car, he sped off, his mind racing with countless thoughts. But for now, his priority was clear, he needed to find Lunara.
Just then, his phone rang. Seeing Naomi’s name on the screen, he picked up immediately.
