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

Chapter 351: Explanations? II

Well, Herbert wasn’t the only one sharing that thought; the president looked too cheerful, too goody-two-shoes. Athena thought, crossing her legs lazily as she observed him. But it’s as Aiden believed—she didn’t think that the powerful man was behind the Grey disease.

Still, it was best not to jump to conclusions without concrete evidence. Until she was certain that all this chaos was over, the president remained on her list of suspects. Him, his cabinet members, and his secret security team.

"Uncle, I understand your frustrations and misgivings when it comes to breaking the legals, considering you’re an astute businessman yourself," Ewan picked up the conversation, voice steady. "But can’t you see we are in a dire situation here? If the twins stay at the hospital, Athena’s research will face constant opposition. They’d have countless opportunities to thwart our recovery efforts."

Herbert sighed tiredly, rubbing his temples. Athena felt a pang of sympathy for him, yet she knew how crucial it was to keep the twins away from the hospital—and if possible, the entire city.

"I understand all that, Ewan. I really do, and I wish I could turn back time," Herbert replied, voice heavy with weariness. "If I do this, I don’t doubt the overzealous twins will take it to court. And since I have no evidence to justify breaking our contract, it looks bad for me. My company might even collapse, especially since we don’t know who’s supporting them."

Ewan opened his mouth to continue pleading, but Herbert raised a hand, signaling him to stop.

"But I will see what I can do," Herbert said after a moment. "I’ll work with my lawyer to find a clause we can use against them. Also..." He paused, a flicker of hope lighting his eyes, stirring something within Athena. Maybe they could find a way around this mountain of trouble.

"I think there’s no explicit clause preventing them from being demoted to a lesser rank," Herbert added, contemplating deeply. His gaze fixed on the table, lost in thought for a brief moment. Then, after only two seconds, he met Athena’s gaze directly.

"Don’t worry, my dear. I think I can fix this. But it might be temporary. You just need to find evidence of their insubordination and cruelty to the nation at large."
