Chapter 100: The Name
The news broke before noon.
It spread through the city like wildfire, flashing across every television screen, every news outlet, every whispered conversation in high society circles.
"Rachel Hoffman, wife of billionaire Leon Hoffman, found dead in Brooklyn townhouse."
The headline scrolled across the bottom of the screen in bold, unforgiving letters.
Diane felt frozen in the living room, her coffee grew cold in her hands as she watched the live coverage.
A sea of reporters gathered outside Hoffman Industries, their voices overlapped as they fought to get a statement from Leon.
They had no idea what really happened.
Not yet.
But soon, the speculations would turn into accusations.
The media would dig, and people would start asking questions.
And Diane knew exactly who they would blame.
"Turn it off," Riot muttered, grabbing the remote and shutting off the TV.
The silence that followed was suffocating.
