Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Finding Morgan

"If Ethan were here, he would be in the best position to scout this environment," Athena stated with a sigh, as her eyes surveyed their surroundings from the back seat of the black-tinted Mercedes.

Beside her was Ewan, and in front of them were two agents—one driving and the other scouting the area like them. The two would serve as a bridge to the other agents waiting at the other end of the street to sweep in when the signal was given.

At this rate, Athena wondered if there would be any sign given at all by her and Ewan considering the sterile environment. There was no one in the streets; it was as if everyone had run away because of some matter. Even the small restaurant where their car was parked beside was void of life.

Athena would have been happy, considering that it meant easier passage into the house, but this was not a relatively family-friendly street filled with peace, joy, and laughter. No, from the reports Spider had submitted to Ewan and from the few things she could gather herself, this was a neighborhood driven by gangs and other criminal elements.

No way was this normal. Something was at play.

The creepy feeling was back again. Could this be another of Morgan’s traps? It most likely was.

"When you mention that Ethan would be the better scout in this situation, what do you mean?" Ewan asked, taking his eyes from the window to focus on Athena, not pleased that she used the adjective "better" for a man who wasn’t him.

Athena shrugged in response. "He is very good with stealth. Probably like Zane... that’s why his codename was Phantom, right?"

Ewan nodded slowly.

"I was right then. Well, Ethan is also skilled at scaling buildings. How else do you think I was able to get my hands on Fiona’s phone during the court case?"

Ewan raised an eyebrow in response; nothing fazed him anymore about Athena. She had a lot in her arsenal—a range of tools and agents, many loyal people. And Ethan was one of them.

Ethan Patterson, who had won Businessman of the Year twice in a row... Ewan shook his head. To think that even then, the latter had been operating Athena’s companies.

Ewan allowed himself to recap his dealings with the young man; his friends had been right—he was truly lucky that Athena had accepted him as her friend and abandoned her earlier revenge plan. It would have been a disastrous monstrosity otherwise.

He shuddered before he could help it, thinking of the other side of the matter if luck hadn’t intervened for him. Hopefully, nothing would make him and Athena enemies again.

All his secrets were out in the open, except for the fact that he remembered more than he had told her about, concerning his old memories.

He wasn’t sure why he was keeping that from her, but his mouth seemed to develop a mind of its own whenever he thought of broaching that topic.

"Are you okay, Ewan? You seem... I don’t know, lost?" Athena’s melodious voice broke into his thoughts, snapping him away from them.

"Sorry, I was just contemplating how to get past this dilemma." He lied, not finding it necessary to add that he didn’t think anything was wrong in the neighborhood. The people were just obeying the words of the gang leader who ruled the environment single-handedly.

After the conversation he had with his friends last night, Sandro had reached out to Madam Ruby—a distant relative of the head of the gang but a very close friend—about the operation today, and instructed her to convince the gang leader to stand down as they walked into their territory.

Ewan didn’t care how she had accomplished it, but the incentives in his company had been enough to carry out the appeal. However, he hadn’t anticipated the clearing of the whole street.

"Let’s get down," He muttered, turning away from Athena to grab the side of his door.

However, Athena stopped him by grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back.

"What do you think you are doing, Ewan?" She asked, a frown clouding her beautiful face. "Do you think you’re bulletproof? Maybe you should call Zane since he’s good at stealth."

Athena’s care warmed Ewan’s heart; however, he knew that Zane wasn’t free at the moment.

His friend was currently outside the city for a jewelry competition partly hosted by his father’s company. There was no way Zane would rush over here, not when he believed that Athena’s boyfriend was after his job.

But he didn’t say all this; he rather chose to expose the connection knowing Madam Ruby afforded him.

"Nothing will happen. Madam Ruby has made sure of that."

The frown on Athena’s face deepened. "What did you say? Madam Ruby? What has she got to do with all this?"

She remembered vividly the woman who had supported her taking over Ewan’s company when he had been bedridden. The woman could easily pass as a president’s wife with the way she carried herself, not allowing her widowhood to tamper with her business sense.

Yet, Athena couldn’t wrap her head around why the woman’s name was thrown into the conversation.
