Chapter 50: Backfired

Athena calmly surveyed the faces of the people in the large reception space, listening to her speak.

Noting their overflowing curiosity, she vowed to totally quench their thirst with the truth.

"Some of you here might have seen the ruckus that had taken place at Zane’s party a few days ago, a ruckus where I had been the center of attention..." She started, looking down at Zack in disgust.

"For those of you who remember, I was labeled an adulteress by my ex-husband, who without due investigation, had believed the words of his mistress over my own words..."

Athena noticed some people typing voraciously on their phones, probably to check out the old news.

"There’s no need to search for it. It was taken down by him, after he suspected the truth."

Zack, feeling the tides has turned for his bad, tried raising his voice to protest, to bring the people back to his side, but he was shushed by the old couple.

"Stop that. Let her speak!"

Murmurs of agreement broke out in the crowd.

Athena smiled and continued her tale to the chagrin of Zack, who already regretted crossing her, who wished the ground would open up and swallow him immediately.

He knew there was no recovery for his company after this. With his hand, he had hit the final nail into the coffin.

His plan has backfired!

"As I mentioned earlier, there was no concrete evidence to support the accusations, yet I wasn’t believed because my father..." Athena pointed at Zack.

"Didn’t bother to investigate or hear my side of the story. His negligence of the matter prompted the council to close my case in my disfavor. But that was not all..."
