"Miss Ashford!" a reporter called out, thrusting a microphone toward her. "Do you have any statement regarding the Cross family's allegations and Evan's disappearance?"

Margot seized the moment, her voice trembling as she stepped forward. "We're only here because we're desperate, Elena. My son… my Evan… he's missing! You were the last person he cared about, and ever since you ruined his life—" Her voice broke, and she dabbed at imaginary tears.
Katherine echoed her mother, eyes wide with feigned innocence. "He hasn't come home in days. He was devastated after what you did to him, Elena."
Brianna added, her voice quivering, "We just want answers. Please—if you know anything, if you've done anything—just tell us where Evan is!"
