Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: The Court Case XV

A deadly silence descended in the room, so quiet that it could be likened to a graveyard. It was obvious the people hadn’t expected Fiona to turn her wicked claws on Ewan, who had been her ardent supporter since day one.

Shock rendered them speechless, numbing even their minds; they had never seen wickedness displayed in such a fashion. Wasn’t he her fiancé for whom she was fighting so fiercely?

Ewan was the numbest of them all. His eyes were so fixated on the projector, and he looked like a statue. Aiden felt a wave of pity for him wash over him.

Sandro rising from his seat broke the trance to some extent. "Athena, what is this? How..." He stuttered and shook his head as tears of anger burned in his eyes. "Is this the reason for the blackouts?"

"Blackouts? What is he talking about, Athena?" Elder Timothy asked, finally finding his voice.

Over twenty years of ruling the elder council, and he had never witnessed evil displayed in such a way. What breed of people were Alfonso and his daughter? They should be in the same gang as Morgan!

Athena sighed and moved to the next slide, which displayed some lab results. Of course, most of the people in the hall didn’t understand what it referred to, so she had to explain.

"More than a month ago, while verbally attacking me in my office and defending his fiancée, Ewan had a blackout. During some tests while treating him, I discovered an abnormality in his brain. Yet, I kept quiet until the last test, which was more of a confirmatory test."

She paused and faced the audience, not sparing Ewan, whose posture and facial expressions remained unchanged.

"Some of us, if not all, are aware of Ewan’s drowning episode while growing up. That incident messed up a part of his mental faculties, which could have been easily remedied if he had received the right treatments. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The doctors kept misreading his system and misprescribing drugs. Although those drugs did more harm than good, they shouldn’t have caused the extent of damage I witnessed in his brain scan."

A slight pause.

"To confirm something, I gave him a particular drug that, while not harming him, would help identify what was wrong by reacting with the unwanted substance. The second test brought it to light."

Another pause, during which she reverted to the elders. "It is possible that Ewan has been poisoned since he was little, with the Avanti drug..."

"And what’s that?" Elder Timothy asked, folding his arms across his chest.

"It is a drug that inhibits brain processes and prevents one from remembering if the latter has amnesia. Further confirmation came when he had an episode at my place on Christmas Day. Why Fiona would feed Ewan this drug, I do not know, but it’s obvious that she doesn’t want him to remember something important. If this poisoning has been going on since he was little, it would mean that Alfonso and his wife orchestrated it, most likely after his parents died."

Margeret shifted on her feet as she became the center of attention. Even those sitting around her shifted away, having been doing so ever since Athena began presenting her evidence.

"Margeret, are you aware of this?" Elder Timothy’s intense gaze made her jerk in surprise.

Margeret had no choice but to nod somberly. Hadn’t she vowed to be a changed person after her near-death experience?

"You mean Doctor Athena is right about her diagnosis? You and your family have been poisoning the sole survivor of the Giacometti family?"
