Chapter 105: A Suicider

"Stop here, Jake," Athena ordered softly, tapping Jake’s shoulder. Her eyes took note, through the window, of the building before her still under construction. The building where she would meet a witness to Fiona’s schemes two nights ago.

Hastily, she thanked her new driver and stepped out from the car.

"Should I wait for you, ma’am? Or should I go ahead and pick the children?"

Athena paused, then palmed her forehead. How could she have forgotten to email the school staff with Jake’s identity since he would be the children’s chauffeur?

Now, he would have to wait here because if she let him go, he still wouldn’t be allowed to pick the children.

"Wait here, Jake. I won’t take much of your time."

Jake smiled thinly. "No need to apologize, ma’am. This is my job. You can take as much time as you want."

Athena nodded her thanks and hurried into the building situated at the outskirts of town.

When she stepped inside, she met three of her agents who led her to the room where the witness had been kept.

Her mouth tweaked in amazement when she realized it was the waiter who had given her the poisonous drink.

Oh well. Where had they found him?

"Do you recognize him, Athena?"

Athena immediately swerved, shocked to hear old Mr. Thorne’s voice, and even more shocked when she saw him sitting on a large chair, flanked by two bodyguards.
