Chapter 152: The Court Case XV
A deadly silence descended in the room, so quiet that it could be likened to a graveyard. It was obvious the people hadn’t expected Fiona to turn her wicked claws on Ewan, who had been her ardent supporter since day one.
Shock rendered them speechless, numbing even their minds; they had never seen wickedness displayed in such a fashion. Wasn’t he her fiancé for whom she was fighting so fiercely?
Ewan was the numbest of them all. His eyes were so fixated on the projector, and he looked like a statue. Aiden felt a wave of pity for him wash over him.
Sandro rising from his seat broke the trance to some extent. "Athena, what is this? How..." He stuttered and shook his head as tears of anger burned in his eyes. "Is this the reason for the blackouts?"
"Blackouts? What is he talking about, Athena?" Elder Timothy asked, finally finding his voice.
Over twenty years of ruling the elder council, and he had never witnessed evil displayed in such a way. What breed of people were Alfonso and his daughter? They should be in the same gang as Morgan!
Athena sighed and moved to the next slide, which displayed some lab results. Of course, most of the people in the hall didn’t understand what it referred to, so she had to explain.
"More than a month ago, while verbally attacking me in my office and defending his fiancée, Ewan had a blackout. During some tests while treating him, I discovered an abnormality in his brain. Yet, I kept quiet until the last test, which was more of a confirmatory test."
She paused and faced the audience, not sparing Ewan, whose posture and facial expressions remained unchanged.
