Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: The Court Case XVI

"What a case."

"Well, at least this way, there will be no debate on who the winner is."

"That’s right. The only debate that needs to be had is what will be done to Fiona."

"There shouldn’t even be a debate. She and her family should be sentenced to death!"

"Including Margeret? You know she has been battling with disease for over a year..."

"I don’t care. She was part of the evil six years ago with them. Should we pity her because she is sick? Hasn’t she recovered?"

Margeret shivered where she sat, listening to the loud discussions around her.

Even if she had lied in the end to protect her family, Athena had still known she was lying, and now she feared that Athena would perceive her earlier gesture of peace as a deception. She sighed and bowed her head in shame.

Meanwhile, Fiona and her father were wondering how they would leave the court with their lives intact.

"Have you found anything yet?" She asked her father, but he shook his head.

Fiona snorted softly, and refused to mention the matter of insanity to him. He could sort himself out; after all, she had more crimes to atone for than he did.

"Ahem, ahem..." Elder Timothy cleared his throat. Finally, the case was coming to an end. "Thank you, Athena, for the evidence you brought to prove your case. It was quite... enlightening..."

Cheers of agreement erupted in the crowd, but Athena remained unmoved. She was also unfazed by Ewan’s blank expression; his head was still bowed.

He must be thinking of a way out of this, she thought, still angry that he had dared to suggest that she should see the children once a month. Her children, whom she had suffered for and toiled over? Even now, the matter was a joke to her.

"Ewan, do you have anything to say? In defense... or anything at all?"

Ewan shook his head without lifting it.

Elder Timothy swallowed, feeling hurt on Ewan’s behalf, not fully understanding the turmoil but knowing the pain the young man was enduring. It was as if his whole life had been a pack of lies!

"Alright then, since that is the case, what do you want to do, Athena?"

Athena shrugged her shoulders. "I just want to take my kids and leave; that’s all."

Ewan finally lifted his head, but his expression remained blank.

Seeing this, Elder Timothy tried to plead on his behalf, recognizing that Ewan wasn’t in the mood to speak.

"I’m sure Ewan has learned his lessons, and considering the evidence presented today, he is not exactly fit to be with the children, but please let him have a role in their lives."
