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

Chapter 101: The Gala V

Ewan tightened his grip around Fiona as she continued to sob against him.

The gala felt alive with chaos, but his world had narrowed to just the two of them. He kept repeating the words in his mind: Fiona is innocent. He trusted her completely, not minding that he knew the two culprits were actually her closest friends.

They could be acting without her knowledge! He surmised. Even if the evil acts had been done out of loyalty, it had been done in her absence and ignorance.

His heart rather ached for her as she sobbed profusely. How could anyone think she would be involved in such a malicious plot? He wondered, glancing at the ladies coldly.

Those two ladies were the same ones that had attacked Athena in the restaurant, and they were clearly the masterminds behind this plot too. Probably a revenge act. He thought, grasping Fiona tighter when she clung harder to him.

They deserve whatever punishment there is for thinking of hurting Athena. He thought furiously, anger bubbling within him.

"Fiona is innocent. Those two are lying. This is not the first time they attacked Doctor Athena actually..." He spoke finally, meeting the gazes of the people surrounding him. "They attacked her some days ago in a restaurant. I’m sure some of you can remember the recent popular video about our most cherished Doctor..."

Murmurs broke out in the crowd. Of course, they remembered.

"I believe they came here for revenge." He concluded, glaring at the two ladies who were wishing for the ground to open up and swallow them.

"But why would they attack her in the first place? We all know they are friends with Fiona..." A guest spoke up, an actress in her late forties.

"Don’t you think your fiancée might have instigated their actions in the first place? They can’t have suddenly attacked the Doctor out of the blue. But your fiancée has a reason to, considering their past relationship."

Murmurs broke out again, worrying Fiona. She shook her head and sobbed harder, to the chagrin of her two friends who hated her more than ever.

But Ewan shook his head. "I don’t think so. Fiona has been in the hospital for a while. She wasn’t behind this."

He would do anything to protect Fiona from this nightmare, even as he held her close, trying to shield her from the glares of the crowd judging her.

Amid the noise, the old man’s voice rang out firmly. "That’s okay. There’s no evidence showing Ewan’s fiancée as the culprit. Take those two away!"

His words silenced the murmurs of the crowd, who thought Fiona was a snake .

"They will spend at least ten years in prison for their actions."

At the declaration, Fiona’s friends began to shake terribly, seeing their lives about to go waste. "We didn’t do it! Even the issue of a few days ago..."

Fiona shrieked then, her voice rising above that of the culprits.
