Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Secret Operations IV

"Are you not going to talk, Aiden?" The masked male asked, his gun resting casually at his side as he observed the group.

They were huddled on a sofa that had been shoved to the center of the room. Those who couldn’t fit sat on the floor—specifically, the mercenaries.

Aiden finally opened his mouth to respond, but the masked man swiftly placed a finger over his lips, silencing him.

With a dismissive nod, he turned to the figure behind him. "Take two and check upstairs to see if there’s anyone up there..." He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the group. "We will wait until you three come back."

When they returned just five minutes later, a woman accompanied them, exuding an aura of stoic confidence that even guns and weapons couldn’t shatter.

Athena’s jaw slackened in disbelief as she took in the sight of the new arrival.

Clad in a stunning cerulean gown that hugged her figure perfectly, the woman radiated beauty. Her wavy brunette hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing a face that seemed to glow under the stark lighting. She wore designer shoes that clicked authoritatively against the floor, completing her sophisticated look.

It was Gloria.

Athena instantly looked at Aiden. The latter had the same expression on his face.

"Gloria..." Aiden stuttered, utterly taken aback. "What are you doing here?"

Ignoring him, Gloria stood tall, her posture straight and her chin held high, embodying confidence itself.

"What is going on here?" She demanded, her gaze fixing on the masked man who appeared to be leading the operation.

"Are you working with these people?"

Gloria frowned, shifting her focus to the group in question. "Lincoln is my brother. We were supposed to travel to see our family today." Glancing at her watch, she added, "Our plane is leaving in the next few minutes. What is this about?"

"Well, your brother is in trouble. I think you’ll be going to see your family alone," The masked man replied, a hint of amusement playing at the corners of his mouth.

Gloria shook her head slowly, her elegant demeanor unshaken. "I won’t be doing that. I’m sure he is innocent of whatever accusations you have against him. There must be a mistake. But who are you people?"

The masked man shrugged, gesturing with his gun toward Ewan. "We work for him."

At that moment, all attention turned to Ewan, who remained seated near Athena.

Sensing the scrutiny, he sighed tiredly, stood up and extended his hand toward Athena. "Do you trust me?"

’Do you trust me?’ That was the best he could muster? Athena thought, simmering with anger. What was his game?

Why hadn’t he included them in this setup? Did he take pleasure in giving her high blood pressure? Did he love playing the ’knight in shining armor’ so much?

"What is this, Aiden?" Lincoln asked, recovering his voice, now visibly scowling. Cecil was beside him, not far behind in his skepticism. "Is this a setup?"

Aiden found himself momentarily at a loss for words. Though he understood this was Ewan’s backup plan and felt a surge of relief at that, the revelation still caught him off guard.

He turned to the leader of the operation calmly. "Take them away. You will meet the CIA operations team at the Knof junction. Make the exchange. Don’t worry; they won’t ask questions. They’ll think Aiden sent you. Am I clear?" _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}
