Chapter 275: Just A Business Meeting IV

Ewan knew the moment Athena unearthed the name of the mole.

He felt a pang of hurt for her as he watched a myriad of emotions wash across her face—disbelief, pain, anger, and ultimately, resignation—an acceptance steeped in the confirmation of a suspicion.

"Yes. What do you think about it?" Ewan asked, reclining deeper into his seat, his arms crossed over his chest as he studied her. Athena seemed eager to talk, the tension in the air crackling with unspent energy.
