Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: The Court Case II

"Do you think Mr. Ewan is right?"

"I am not sure. Doctor Athena doesn’t look like the one who would do such evil. I think Mr. Ewan is confused, or perhaps he received wrong information..."

"Or maybe he is just too desperate to have his children back."

"If it is as you said, then he is a man most miserable."

"You lot are gullible! He must be telling the truth, especially since he came with proof. Ewan Giacometti is too powerful of a man to be deceived by a hacker. I think our doctor’s demeanor contributes to the disbelief—her innocent face is the best tool to mislead people."

"I think you are right. I have always questioned her success story. How does one go from being labeled an illiterate, as they claimed she was six years ago, to becoming a certified doctor? And not just that, but a well-known one who discovered the cure for a national pandemic?"

"I’m afraid you are right. We have all placed our lives in the hands of a murderer. She should be arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment!"

"I think life imprisonment is too lenient; she should be subjected to electrocution!"

Whispers buzzed like angry bees, escalating into loud arguments that filled the court. Elder Timothy had to strike the gravel four times to restore order.

"Silence!" He shouted again as the murmurs rose once more, moving to a crescendo of heated debates.

"If you won’t keep quiet, then this case will be handled in the inner chambers!" He threatened, causing a tense silence to blanket the council hall.

Sandro found himself wishing for that very outcome; it would certainly spare Ewan the public embarrassment that was coming soon.

His friend stood tall now, scowling as though delivering justice, but wait until Athena began to speak. He sighed and glanced at Zane.

"You know, Sandro, I wish I could stop what’s coming."

Sandro sighed weakly at Zane’s muttered words, his gaze drifting to Athena. She wore a smile that seemed to cast her in the light Ewan was portraying—a look of calculated mischief. His friend would regret this decision for the rest of his life.

"Ewan, please continue your case..." Elder Timothy urged, reclaiming his seat after having stood during the commotion. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"Thank you, Elder Timothy..." Ewan replied, momentarily meeting Athena’s gaze, his heart sinking as he noted the relaxed composure on her face—a calm echoed by those surrounding her, including that familiar figure he had seen whispering in her ear before.

Who was he? And why was he holding her hand? Ewan subtly shook his head, reminding himself that what Athena did wasn’t his concern—only the kids mattered. After all, hadn’t she given him the green light to come at her with all his might?

"My elders, as you can see in the evidence before you, which includes dates and witness reports, this woman here is unfit to be the mother of my children. I appreciate her for caring for them thus far, but if her influence continues, they will grow up to be hooligans and misfits, and I can’t allow that to happen—at least, not while I’m still alive. They may hate me for wanting to separate them from their mother, but I am confident that over time, I can convince them otherwise."

He paused, casting a glance at the twins.

Nate regarded him blandly, but his daughter, Kate, looked at him with an expression that resembled pity.

Ewan’s heart burned with annoyance. Why was she looking at him that way? He quickly pushed the unsettling feeling aside and forged on.

"You all know the Devil’s Scorpion Gang..."
