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

Chapter 440: Lucky III

"I want to end the gang, want to stop its operation..."

A hesitant pause. "Kael did something that he needs to atone for. He attacked my family, interfered in my business, breaching the contract between us both without providing any evidence of my doing the same..." Ewan spoke when John concurred that he got to why he had come to visit.

And when John said nothing, other than looking at him with a steady gaze, Ewan continued. "And to be honest, even if I don’t want—although I will—Athena is coming for them. They attacked her grandparents."

"Grandparents? To the best of my knowledge, she has no one other than that cunny Zack?"

Ewan shook his head. "Zack is old story, and not even her real father. She is a Thorne. Her mother is the late Emily Thorne..."

John’s mouth dropped open, even as his eyes widened fractions.

"You can’t... be... serious..." He stuttered, shaking his head slowly, disbelief shadowing his features. "What a small... world."

"And in case you haven’t heard, she is also the infamous doctor known for her role in the Grey Virus disease..."

More shock plastered on John’s face. "I heard of the Athena Caddels of course, but I didn’t think..."

"I understand."
