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

Chapter 202: The President’s Order II

Athena inhaled deeply, striving to calm the rage simmering beneath the surface as she observed Valentine, who was expertly maintaining his stoic facade.

Yes, she needed protection. That was a fact. But she didn’t want—or need—the government’s protection. Hadn’t she once worked for them? She was all too familiar with their operations, and now, she wanted nothing to do with them.

How could she disentangle herself from this entanglement? Was it even possible?

"What else did he ask you to do? Surely, the order isn’t just to look after me like a nanny?" She finally asked, stepping back.

Valentine pursed his lips, a fleeting frown passing across his face, but Athena noticed his budding annoyance. "He also ordered that you hand over the research material..."

"It’s not happening, Valentine. Get that message back to him. It is absolutely not happening. My research, my lab, everything stays with me."

Valentine furrowed his brows, astonished by the audacity of this woman whose name was on the lips of nearly everyone he knew. "You would dare disobey the president of the country?"

"Yes, Valentine. I would dare to. After all, I have citizenship in other countries. If he tries to play a chess game with me, I can simply move to another board. So, what’s it going to be, chief security officer?"

Valentine quelled the anger that surged within him, especially in the presence of her entourage.

Aiden Hunt, his senior during their time in the army, regarded him with a bored expression, as expected. And there were Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, owners of one of the leading companies in the country.
