Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Shareholders Meeting

Alfonso and Fiona struggled to sit confidently among the shareholders, who were muttering amongst themselves about the director’s seat.

Almost all of these shareholders were clearly ignorant about the happenings in the elders’ council, but it didn’t stop the anxiety intensifying at every turn, in their belly—probably because Zack and Herbert were present.

The duo were regarding them as the scum of the earth, and several sensitive shareholders were beginning to notice.

"Alfonso, it’s obvious that your daughter might take the seat. Isn’t she Ewan’s fiancée? And didn’t she study business administration at university? Surely, she must be good at something apart from being Ewan’s fiancée..."

Alfonso found it difficult to interpret the words of the shareholder closest to him as either support or mockery. What kind of insinuation was this—that Fiona had no skills?

Yet, could he deny there wasn’t a hint of truth in that? For months, that’s all he had complained about, right before Athena began to tear them down.

Turning to glance at his daughter, he noticed she was busy chatting on her phone. Likely with Morgan.

Alfonso gritted his teeth in frustration. If Fiona had shown any interest in business, she could have been managing some of Ewan’s companies or perhaps even secured the position of managing director in this one!

But no, his daughter insisted on depending on a criminal who couldn’t even get the job done when it came to eliminating Athena after several failed attempts!

Tsk! What kind of powerful gang was that if they couldn’t carry out such a simple task? And to think both of them had paid heavily for the gang’s failure just two days ago—they had been starved by Mr Thorne’s men until this morning!

Alfonso darted another glance at Herbert and Zack, who were seated together with another shareholder between them; they were casting curious glances toward his daughter.

"Fiona, drop that phone. You’re garnering unnecessary attention..."

Fiona scowled, looking up only to further scowl when she met the gazes of Zack and Herbert.

Zack quickly averted his gaze, but Herbert remained fixed on her, leaving Fiona with no choice but to look away.

"What is wrong with that man? What’s his deal? It’s not like I did anything to him..." Fiona muttered, switching off her phone.

They had prepared their plans meticulously, and this time, their escape would be successful. There would be no hitches, no complications in getting away from Athena and her backers.

She managed a smile, visualizing her freedom in just a few hours, her simmering anger directed at Athena, whom she had decided was determined to be a constant thorn in her side. Only death of the later will serve to appease her totally now.

"Who else are we waiting for?" Zack asked aloud after a few moments, his discomfort becoming palpable. Ever since the trial in the elders’ council, he’d felt uneasy in his own skin.

"Just Old Mr. Thorne and possibly the Doctor. They each hold a reasonable amount of shares in the company," A shareholder replied, rifling through some files before her.
