All Chapters of The Piano of Vengeance: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Mrs. Athena, is your purpose in holding this press conference to explain that your marriage to Mr. Leon has been fine amidst all the bad news?" Cameras flashed relentlessly as journalists fought to be heard over one another. Athena looked a little nervous. She was clearly unprepared for all this even though she was the one who planned this activity in the first place. Yes, this is indeed her plan. But it's not entirely like this. Initially, she just wanted to stand in front of the many camera flashes alone or at least be accompanied by Arthur. She wanted to explain her collaboration with the man's company. She certainly didn't expect to be accompanied by Leon, who had clearly caused her so much suffering. "Is it true that you filed a police report against him, Mrs. Athena? If so, why are you standing here with him today?" "Yeah, did he force you to be here? Are you being threatened, Mrs. Athena?"

"No! It's—"  "Let us examine all this evidence first, Mr. Leon. You can testify later!" Leon tried to evade but the odds were stacked against him. With a sharp glance at Arthur and Athena, he clenched his fists tightly again. His brain was trying to think of a quick escape in this situation, otherwise he would end up in prison for a long time. "All of this evidence is very sufficient, sir. I hope from today he can be arrested immediately. Moreover, he had previously committed a lot of crimes that harmed many people," Arthur added, occasionally returning Leon's sharp glance with his stern gaze. Athena, who witnessed all this again, could only remain silent with a transfixed gaze. She still couldn't believe it, even though in her heart she felt very happy with Arthur's presence. Didn’t Leon say that the man was unconscious for days after being brutally beaten by hi

"Excuse me, Mr. James, Mrs. Athena." Arthur’s fingers hovered over his phone, about to check the multiple missed calls and the message about Reyna. However, before he could reach for it, the door swung open, and a nurse entered, pushing a tray of food. "It's time for your meal," the nurse said with a warm smile. "You need proper nutrition to recover quickly." "I suppose there's no escaping this, huh?" Arthur sighed, leaning back against the pillows. Athena, who had been standing beside him, smirked. "Not unless you want me to report you to the doctor, sir." The nurse chuckled, making Athena chuckle too. She quickly picked up a tray of food that was handed to Arthur. "Don’t worry, nurse. I’ll make sure he eats everything!" "Thank you. Don't forget to finish your meal afterward." The nurse gave a knowing smile before setting the tray down on t

"Damn! The phone is completely unreachable!" Holding back his frustration, Arthur gripped his phone tightly. Athena, still by his side, gently stroked his muscular arm. She gazed at him with a sorrowful expression, though deep inside, she remained extremely curious about the true relationship between Arthur and his stepmother. After receiving news that Reyna had yet to be brought home, Arthur hadn't explained anything to her. He had only been trying to leave the hospital, though she had eventually managed to convince him to stay for further treatment. Yet, he kept trying to call his stepmother repeatedly while instructing his men to search for possible locations where Reyna might be. "Reyna..." "She'll be okay, trust me!" Athena slowly took the slim device from Arthur’s grasp before gently caressing his handsome face. She wanted to ease his tension, especially when she noticed his brown eyes gl

Athena took a deep breath as she stepped into the mayor’s office, her posture poised yet firm. The tension in the room was almost suffocating, a clear reflection of the chaos that Leon had left in his wake. Across from her, the mayor—an older man with a stern yet understanding gaze—watched her expectantly. "Mrs. Athena," he greeted, motioning for her to take a seat. "I assume you're here to clear up the… mess your husband has created?" "Ex-husband," she corrected immediately, sitting gracefully in the chair opposite him. "Or, at least, soon to be." "Understood. But the media isn’t as patient as the legal system, especially after the fake press conference made by him yesterday." "Sorry, sir. At that time I was threatened by him, so I couldn't prevent his crazy ideas." The mayor nodded to convey his expression of concern. "Sadly right now, rumors are
