Chapter 283: Night Affairs II
It was good that she had chosen to go through Ewan’s document first before continuing the video call. Athena thought, grimly digesting the information she had just absorbed.
The Nimbus operation was thoroughly compromised.
It wasn’t just Alvarez who had sold his soul to the devil; he had dragged his subordinates into the quagmire as well. Worse still, he had been introduced to the gang by two of her former colleagues, once champions of justice and fair play.
What was going on? She wondered, scrolling through the document again, even though she had already perused it twice. Why were people so easily thrown from their high horses by the allure of money?
Couldn’t one remain steadfastly principled? Why were they so insatiably greedy?
Athena would have blamed it on poverty or desperation, but these men were wealthy—each boasted investments valued at over five million dollars. So, why weren’t they content? How much was Morgan’s boss paying them?
A thought nagged at her then. Could Morgan’s boss be a former colleague? The notion sent a chill down her spine. She shook it off. If he was, then Spider would have located him.
Athena wet her lips and dialed Ewan’s number. She cursed and terminated the call, however, when she checked the time.
Gosh, had she really spent that much time combing through the document?
Just as she was about to turn her attention elsewhere, her phone started ringing.
Ewan.
