Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517: Truths? III

Athena wasn’t sure how to feel. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Yes, she could hear Aiden and Spider distinctly, present more facts, more information that pointed that Herbert was the wicked person they had been looking for all this while, yet she just couldn’t comprehend it clearly.

Even while they had been in the car, she had just been going through the motions, unable to wait to get home so that she could disentangle the threads with her grandparents.

Herbert? Behind the death of Ewan’s parents? Moreso, the threats that had pushed Ewan to join the gang in the first place? How? Why? And he was right beneath their noses!

How couldn’t she have seen it? How could they not have known? Yet how could they have? Herbert was... Herbert.

Athena’s musings caused creases to batter her forehead. Her brows drew together tightly, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the hem of her sleeve.

Her eyes darted to Zane. He looked just as wrapped in shock, like Ewan.

No, Ewan’s was different. It was like he was not there with them, like he was having an out-of-body experience. His face was pale, jaw locked, eyes hollowed out as if staring through a fog only he could see. She felt for the both of them.

Zane, having the father he had idolized for as long as she had known him, being accused of murder and thousands of other heinous crimes. She couldn’t pretend to understand his feelings. She was yet to understand hers.

And there was Ewan... she wanted to reach him, this male who sat beside her, who seemed so far away, but she knew this wasn’t the moment. As much as her fiancé looked dead, she knew he was listening to the facts.

She wondered what his next move would be?

Herbert.

Athena rubbed her face, her palms dragging down her cheeks as her mind started to connect dots of its own.

How her grandmother had been infected with the grey variant... it was only him. She wasn’t sure how he had done it, but she was sure that he had. Maybe put it into a cup when no one had been watching?

Her fingers twitched at the horrific possibility.

He had also been the one that had bribed the guard to let the gates open to Kael and his men. She was sure of it.

And what’s more? The birthday surprise he had hosted for her... her mouth opened a fraction as another dot clicked. Her hand lifted slightly in disbelief.

It had merely been a distraction, to buy time for the doctors to move their stuff out of the lab. His absences, that made no sense, one that even Zane had no idea of.

She remembered when she had contacted Zane, thinking that Herbert was at the office as he had said he would be, but her friend had mentioned that he was at the hospital. Which he hadn’t been!

It also explained why the hospital had structures, one Ewan himself had said was the way of the old generation, only that it wasn’t, only that Herbert wasn’t who they thought he was, only that he was sinister!

Most likely, he was the one that had been watching them when they had raided the first gang hideout, to search for the first batch of grey virus. How could they have missed it?

There were some signs. But that was the thing about close ties and betrayals. You didn’t see it if it was right before you, until the stab had happened.

If John hadn’t said anything, there wouldn’t have been confirmations, even with Spider and Aiden’s reports. Zane, for one, would be hard to buy over. But John, heaven bless his soul, had remembered.
