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

Chapter 429: Party Ends

"What do you think he meant by that last statement?" Sandro inquired, watching guests get to their feet, dusting

off their clothes, salready preparing to leave the hall—only waiting out of courtesy to hear Old Mr. Thorne’s

final words, so as not to coff as rude and lose the Thorne connection.

"I'm not sure," Ewan answered, his brows furrowed as he watched Athena approach him with a bland

countenance.

He wondered if this would be the norm of their relationship, considering she had announced to the whole world

that she was engaged to Antonio, and had even announced a party—private albeit—in that regard.

Was he invited to the party? He hoped not.

"What's going on?" she asked when she got to him, her eyes narrowing in search of something deeper.

Feet away, Antowas hurrying to catch up with the discussion.

But Ewan just wanted out of the space, so that he could sort out what was going on—what the gang had in stock

for him, for his family. Even though he had called Kael’s bluff, he knew that the latter was a bull when triggered,

when scorned.

To Athena's question, meanwhile, he shrugged. "Your party was invaded."

Athena raised a brow, displeased with the simple reply. "I'm not blind, Ewan. Of course the party was invaded.

But what is going on?"

Ewan, however, didn’t understand the question much. Hadn't she seen what had gone on? "They used your

party as a distraction to wreak another havoc elsewhere. Our job is to find out where..."

"Or maybe you can start with how you and Kael seem like old buddies with a feud in between..." Antocut in,

his tone sharp.

Ewan held in a scoff, including the urge to just squeeze the latter's mouth shut.

He only exchanged a furtive glance with Athena and reverted his attention to the stage, where Old Mr. Thorne

had mounted to dismiss the gathering officially, before the in-house meeting that would be coming up.

"Thank you, everyone, for coming... and | am sorry for this mishap that had happened. | truly apologize..." His

voice carried weight, his shoulders sagged as though the admission hurt. "I would say that you should

understand the threat to my granddaughters life, but | should have increased security..."

Another pause, heavier than the rest, revealed the old man’s guilt, and curiosity at the stime. How had his

mansion been infiltrated?

"Hence, | am sorry. Please do have a nice night. | have taken adequate measures to make sure you all get home

safely. The police have also been informed."

Ewan knew it was a lie. Police hadn't been informed—for that wouldn't help their case—but just to cover all

grounds, he raised his hand.

Old Mr. Thorne had the grace to look surprised at being interrupted. "Is there a problem, Mr. Giacomeeti?"

Ewan was already moving to the platform, becoming the center of attention. "Not at all. | just want to make an

important announcement, if that would be okay with you..."

For a second, a random thought flickered through the many in Athena’s mind. Maybe he wanted to announce an

engagement with Victoria?

As soon as the thought came, she banished it to the uttermost part of the earth, partly because it was no use in

this situation, secondly because it had unsettled her in the little tit had stayed with her.

When Old Mr. Thorne gave a curt nod at Ewan’s appearance beside him on the podium, he handed the mic in the

svein, stepping aside a little, as curious as the people before them.

"Good evening, everyone..." Ewan started, his voice business-like yet smooth, his eyes scanning the entirety of

the people in the hall boldly. "In addition to what Mr. Edward Thorne had said, | would like to ask that you all here

keep the happenings here a secret, including the media team that had been invited... no scoops."

His words generated murmurs in the room instantly. People didn’t think it was feasible—not even Athena.

Did he know how loose a person’s mouth could be? However, she understood Ewan’s point.

If this cout in the news, it would have many effects, first of which was how he was related to Kael, a

notorious gang leader. The press wouldn’t make it easier with their twisted truths either.

There were her children to consider too.

Ewan cleared his throat in the mic, igniting silence. "Anyone who goes against this word will be sanctioned by

me. Whatever press that bears the news would be put out of business. Whatever business owner will lose his or

her rights to function. In conclusion, keep your mouth shut."

This was delivered so casually, so smoothly, that it took a while for the people to really understand what he was

saying.

"We are in a digital world, so you can trustto trace whatever communication is there. Was the instruction

clear?"

The guests, stripped of the urge to

speak, knowing Ewan, knowing his

"I will need words..." he bit out, like he was talking to students, and echoes of "Yes" greeted him.

"Thank you," he muttered, tilting his head, then returned the mic to a surprised Old Mr. Thorne.

He got down from the platform and headed toward his children, who were with Gianna and Chelsea.

He lifted Kathleen in one arm and ruffled Nathaniel’s hair with the second, ignoring the silence that held most of

the guests captive.

"lI am sorry for not coming sooner," he apologized to them, his voice barely a whisper.

Kathleen kissed his right cheek, shocking Athena and Antofurther. "I think you cright on time. Aunt

Gianna almost shat herself."

Gianna recoiled, her mouth dropped in mock shock, while Nathaniel and Ewan broke into bouts of laughter,

easing the tension somewhat around them.
