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

Chapter 80: Cartoon Character

"Hello, Zack..." Athena spoke, after waiting in vain for Zack to speak first.

"Helloooo... Athenaaaaa..."

Hearing the slurs and drawls in Zack’s voice, Athena huffed in displeasure. The man was undoubtedly drunk.

She removed the phone from her ear, ready to end the call, not in the mood to converse with a tipsy man. However, curiosity stopped her short.

What could a drunken Zack possibly have to say? She had never seen him like this before—he was always so uptight. Resuming the call to her ear, she braced herself.

"Athenaaaaa, are you thereeee?"

"Yes, Zack, I’m here. Why are you calling?"

There was a pause on the other end, followed by the sound of shuffling feet. "To tell you that I’m sorry for how I acted last time. It was very foolish of me..."

Athena remained silent, weighing his words.

"You know, to be honest, I never thought you would return. I thought you had died during your time in exile. How did you do it? Who is your backer? Your husband? My sources mentioned that you returned to the country with two children. You didn’t tell me I’m a grandfather! That’s wrong of you, bad daughter! You make me look bad!"

Athena ignored the fact that Zack sounded like a cartoon character and focused on the one matter that concerned her the most. He already knew about her kids. Not that she had been hiding it, but it was clear they had all been investigating her.

Too bad for them, she thought. They won’t find anything.

"A warning to you, Zack. If you don’t want to lose the rest of your treasures, keep your distance from my children."

Zack hissed in anger. "Keep away? You must be joking! I heard one is a male. That one will take over my company..."

"What company?" She replied, incredulous. "The one that’s already in shreds?"
