Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Shareholders Meeting II

Athena bit her lips to refrain from calling out Alfonso; from rehashing the evidence of the abominations committed by him and his daughter in front of the shareholders. That would be against the council rules.

Instead, she inhaled deeply, reclined in her chair, and asked lightly, "And who could you have in mind, Mr. Alfonso?"

Alfonso shook away the dread that enveloped him as he met Athena’s steadfast gaze—and not just hers, but also Old Mr. Thorne and Aiden, both impressive generals in their own right. He had done his research, of course.

Yet, he could never be intimidated by a woman. No matter what! No matter how fast and how much she had wrecked his life upon her return from exile.

"Who else but my daughter, Fiona? She is Ewan’s fiancée after all and the closest to him. They have been close since childhood, so I think she surpasses Sandro in the closeness ratio. She also has a degree in business."

At her father’s praise, Fiona sat up proudly in her seat, attempting to project the calm of a businesswoman, as if that alone would make her one.

Murmurings broke out among the shareholders.

Athena felt a notable anguish when she heard one suggest that they allow Fiona to take the seat.

Were these people daft? Handing over a man’s sweat and blood to someone with no real experience in business? A generational business at that?

Over her dead body! Athena mentally screamed. Being a CEO herself, she knew how draining it was, handling a company with subsidiaries. So, why would she let another man’s hardwork go to waste?

Yes, she had evidence against Fiona and her father, but it would be useless in this boardroom. The only way to tackle these foolish goats was to approach it from a business perspective.

"Did you just mention Fiona?" She finally asked, calmly, leaning forward and placing her hands on the table.

Old Mr. Thorne and Aiden smiled, relaxing in their seats. Athena would take care of this spectacularly without breaking any rules.

Alfonso furrowed his brow, his expression dramatically scanning the room. "I guess everyone heard my option a few seconds ago, Doctor Athena. I am sure you have grievances against my daughter, considering your past, but this is business..."

"You must think so highly of yourself and your daughter, Alfonso..." Athena interrupted, causing an amused atmosphere to permeate the room. "But sorry to burst your bubble—the world doesn’t revolve around you two. Grow up!"

Smiles bloomed on the lips of shareholders, eager for drama, a mere shadow of the laughter stirring in their minds.

Alfonso chuckled snidely. "Get to your point, Athena... don’t waste our time. Your choice, Sandro, isn’t here. My daughter is the next option..."

"She isn’t even an option in the first place. I know she is your precious daughter, but this is business, as you said, Alfonso. This is somebody’s sweat and blood; we surely can’t pass it down to someone who has never worked in her life, who has never utilized the business degree you claim she has, who has spent her life living off Ewan’s money because she saved his life years ago. No, Alfonso. We can’t do that unless we want to sink this empire..."

She paused, cocking her head at Alfonso, whose fists were clenched in his lap. "Or do you want to control things behind the scenes? Was that your plan?"

For a second, Alfonso was stumped, especially with the growing murmurs around him.

The people were swallowing Athena’s true deductions hook, line, and sinker. He gritted his teeth. Why had Morgan failed him? He hadn’t even injured Athena enough to incapacitate her until this meeting was over!
