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

Chapter 291: Secret Operations III

What was Aiden thinking, approaching this situation in such a way?

Athena’s mind raced with questions as she struggled to suppress the urge to clench her fists in anger.

Was he trying to give their position away? Or was he merely attempting to confirm Ewan’s report?

Seeing the earnest glint in Aiden’s eyes, she deduced it was likely the latter.

Maybe she shouldn’t have brought him along on this mission, she thought, her lips pressed into a firm line of disapproval. But she had never known that Lincoln was Gloria’s cousin.

Was he allowing emotions to overshadow his quest for justice?

Meanwhile, Cecil and Lincoln exchanged a calm glance, their demeanor radiating curiosity mixed with an undertone of skepticism.

"A mole?" Lincoln began, clasping his hands together as if to fortify his resolve. "What mole? I haven’t heard any news of this. Alvarez never mentioned it."

"That’s because Alvarez is the mole." Aiden’s voice held a sharp edge, his keen eyes scrutinizing the expressions of his old friends.

But their faces were like masks, betraying nothing. Still, he pressed on. "He is collaborating with Morgan to distribute the counterfeit drugs and disrupt Athena’s efforts to develop her cure."

Lincoln and Cecil turned their attention to Athena, earnestness flooding their gazes, disbelief hanging palpably in the air. "Is this true?"

With no choice but to play hardball, Athena nodded, her determination steeling her resolve. "We discovered this after multiple operations were sabotaged. He’s unaware of our findings, however... we are here to brainstorm on how to proceed since you two are also founders of this organization."

If Athena hadn’t seen Ewan’s reports, if she had relied solely on word of mouth or her instincts, she might have fallen for Lincoln and Cecil’s innocent act.
