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

Chapter 144: The Court Case VII

Ewan tuned them out. Their aggravated words were like piercing darts puncturing his skull. He longed to cover his ears or hold his head to block out their incessant chatter, but he was in court, and he needed to maintain his composure. He couldn’t appear weak!

Elder Timothy, however, remained silent. His expression, though, betrayed his thoughts. Did Ewan come to the council to play games?

"About the backer Ewan mentioned..." Athena sighed, feigning weariness. "He is just an old friend who owed me a favor. Because of Ewan, I collected that debt, believing I was doing something good, not realizing he’d come to court and stab me in the back!"
