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

Chapter 100: The Gala IV

Athena wasn’t sure what angered her the most: the hot slap of humiliation that stung on her cheek, Fiona’s underhanded schemes, or the fickleness of human trust.

The latter though was making her jaw tick.

This was a gala where her achievements were being celebrated, and yet here she was, standing accused as a thief.

How could they believe she was capable of stealing a flimsy piece of jewelry with no monetary value, especially after awarding her? Didn’t anyone possess the common sense to see the absurdity of it all?

Good. She didn’t want her friends involved in this.

Athena turned her glare back to the hostess then, ready to iron the situation out.
