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

Chapter 246: Long Night X

Gianna nodded in agreement with Ewan’s statement, though she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a "but" lurking somewhere in the context.

Hadn’t she and Athena been friends for the longest parts of their lives? She knew the latter like the back of her hand, yet it seemed she had been haughty in believing she truly understood her best friend. It was painfully obvious that there were other layers hidden from her.

Typically, Gianna would have been annoyed by this revelation, but the truth was, she had secrets of her own—dirty secrets she didn’t want her friend to know for fear that it would drive a wedge between them, that it would result in Athena joining Zane in hating her for life.

Thus, she nodded, pretending to be naive.

"I see." She said, refraining from pushing further to uncover the identity of this "old rival" or even questioning whether such a rival existed. Instead, she chose a different approach. "Can’t we utilize this person again, considering this is a dire situation?"

Athena shook her head immediately, relief washing over her. "That would be too risky. And the person’s cost is too high. But not to worry, we can surely find someone within our ranks to do the job."

But do they? Athena wondered next, glancing at the men in front of her, her eyes lingering on Ewan as if to silently say, "thank you for the rescue there."

Understanding her unspoken gratitude, Ewan gave her a subtle nod of acknowledgment before bringing up a certain someone.

"I know someone..." He began, capturing the attention of Sandro and Zane, who both wore expressions of annoyance at the mention. This made Athena curious about the mysterious figure he was referencing.

"He’s very good at what he does. The best there is. I’m sure he can do the work without leaving a trace. I’ll reach out to him to see if he can work with us," Ewan continued, disregarding the glares being shot in his direction by Zane and Sandro.

Of course, they knew who he was talking about!

"Can you get him now?" Old Mr. Thorne suggested. "I know it’s late, but this is a night job, and we need to know where we stand at the moment..."

Even though he had men on his team, including those entrenched in the dark web, he wanted to give Ewan a chance to prove himself. If Ewan believed his contact could handle it, then why not trust him?

After all, he didn’t know anyone who had attempted to breach the gang’s system—leaving everything theoretical.

"Okay then." Ewan agreed, pulling out his phone and dialing Spider’s contact.
