Chapter 141: The Court Case IV

Athena paused, a smile tugging at her lips as she noticed Fiona’s anxious eyes, despite the latter’s best efforts to conceal her nerves.

Better, the raw anticipation painted on the faces of everyone in the hall was palpable, their breaths hanging by a thin thread, as they eagerly waited for her side of the story.

Athena tsked lightly—prompting a few people from the crowd to curse her for nearly raising their blood pressure—then turned toward the projector board.

With the remote in her hand, she clicked the tool, swiping past the presentation title slide and heading straight to the table of contents. A smile crept across her face as she selected the sixth entry, titled "The Hacker."

It was fortunate that Nathaniel had anticipated this unfolding. After her son revealed that Ewan had attempted to recruit him through the dark web for some research, they had decided to dig deeper following Ewan’s accusations against her drugs. Their efforts had yielded astonishing results.

Timothy leaned forward seconds later, lifting the segment of the article that contained the elusive initials. Exactly as Athena had said, it matched the initials displayed next to the
