Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Distressed

Hire a hacker for the work.

"Check." Ewan muttered with a satisfied smile, crossing the item off his to-do list.

Leaning back deeper into his chair, he swirled, reveling in the sense of control he felt. Athena’s lackeys thought they could thwart him from achieving his goals? They clearly had a lot to learn about the different ways things could be accomplished.

He had even gone further by instructing the hacker to dig deeper into Athena’s life after the research deal on the gang.

The unknown figure he had enlisted had promised to work with the clues provided and get him answers within a week. It was a tantalizing prospect. Just as he sank into his triumphant thoughts, a sharp knock sounded at the door, pulling him from his reverie.

"Come in." Ewan called, redirecting his focus to the documents cluttering his desk. He heard the sound of footsteps striding casually into the office, already knowing who it was. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

"Sandro, you sure took your time." He said without looking up, and when he finally lifted his head, he was greeted by an apprehensive Sandro.

"What now?" Ewan inquired, sensing something was amiss. "Did you get the samples for the DNA test?" he pressed.

Sandro nodded but remained standing, which only deepened Ewan’s unease. "Why did you take so long then?" Ewan prompted, irritation creeping into his voice.

"I had to give it to a doctor that wasn’t affiliated with Whitman’s Hospital, remember?"

Ewan nodded, choosing to ignore Sandro’s brittle tone. The poor guy had been out of sorts since Athena’s friend, Chelsea, resurfaced.

Since he knew Sandro wouldn’t be divulging anything about their relationship, he decided against pushing the issue any further. His friend could stew in his mess alone for now until he was ready to share.

"So, how did you manage to get the samples?" Ewan asked, anxious to break the uncomfortable silence.

"I found the contact of the home tutor yesterday, called her, told her who I was, and promised her a substantial amount..." There was a pause. "The money was good enough to make her overlook her ethics. I’m not even sure if there’s something like that in their rules and regulations..."

Another pause hung in the air. "She got the job done today."

Ewan nodded, a stiff smile forming on his lips. "So how long before the test results come back?"

"At least a week from now."

Ewan nodded again, believing that good news would punctuate his days next week. Yet silence descended once more, as he reverted to the documents before him, thickening the air between them until he could no longer tolerate it.

"Sandro, if you aren’t going to talk about your relationship with Chelsea, then carry your deadpan mood out of my office. It’s seriously affecting my space."

Sandro offered a hollow chuckle. "My silence isn’t about my private worries but the news circulating in the media. Considering your laid-back demeanor, it appears you aren’t aware of it."

Ewan lifted his head for the second time, intrigued. "News? What’s that? What’s going on?" As he asked, he grabbed his phone from the table, navigating to a media page. His heart sank when he saw the headline.

With trembling hands, he played the attached video, his heart plummeting as he witnessed footage of Kate screaming for help, while her brother sat unnervingly calm in the back seat.

Ewan didn’t even realize when his phone slipped from his grip as he rushed to get to his feet.
