Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

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 sextent. "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 sgang as Morgan!

Athena sighed and moved to the next slide, which displayed slab 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 attackingin my office and defending his fiancée, Ewan had a

blackout. During stests while treating him, | discovered an abnormality in his brain. Yet, | 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.

"Sof 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 | witnessed in

his brain scan."

A slight pause.

"To confirm something, | 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 cwhen 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 becthe 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?"

Margeret nodded again, shutting her eyes as a wedge sandal struck her cheek. She felt her nose begin to run

with blood.

"It wasn’t meant for him to die, but for him to forget. We didn’t know it would cause other harm to his body."

"What were you people trying to make him forget?"

Margeret paused her lips as Alfonso turned to face her with softened eyes.

Should she betray her family in such a way? She noted Fiona'’s stoic back, her body marked with red scratches

from various shoe throws. They were already doomed to suffer from the evidence Athena had presented. Should

she then proceed to drive another nail into the coffin?

"To make him forget the drowning experience. It kept bringing up nightmares for him."

"So, the blackouts weren't enough telltale signs that something was wrong?" Athena took over the questioning,

sensing that Margeret was lying about this particular question.

"Not at all. If we had known, we wouldn't have continued..."

"But Fiona was present when Ewan blacked out in my office. And this video was just taken a few days ago... what

do you have to say then?"

Margeret fell silent, but Fiona seized the opportunity.

"I thought the blackout was from the drowning incident, not from the drugs," She said, ready to capitalize on the

out her mother had given her.

For a moment, she shifted her

curiosity away from how Athena had

managed to film Gres mM

Sandro hissed loudly. "Again? Fiona, there will be no chance for that! | don’t want to see you near Ewan again!"

Athena sat down then, tically shaking her head. "So, Elder Timothy, tell me," She began somberly,

ignoring the blank state of Ewan, who bowed his head and was staring at his fingers.

Athena chuckled softly, shaking her head once more.

"If she truly saved him years ago, she wouldn't be alive today, or maybe she would have been mentally

unsound!"

Athena unplugged the projector and gathered her things into her bag.

"With all this, Elder Timothy, | am sure | am done with this case."
