The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

Fiona cantan anxious glance at the gatekeeper, hoping he would make an exception.

With an icy expression, the gatekeeper ignored the money altogether and shook his head. “Miss Monson doesn’t receive outsiders,” he said firmly.

Though Fiona didn’t identify herself, the gatekeepers immediately recognized the distinctive carriage of the Monson family

These were all Ferris’s trusted subordinates, who naturally knew all about Athena’s situation

Cast out as she was, they knew Athena would not possibly meet with anyone from the Monson family.

Fiona rushed forward a couple of steps, her voice quivering with desperation as she pleaded, “Please, I beg you to announce me. Though I am a member of the Monson family, right now I’m just a mother. My son Cedric has had a raging fever for days that won’t break. I beg the miracle healer to save his

In the bitter cold, Fiona clutched her frail child Cedric in her arms, presenting a truly heart–wrenching sight.

The gatekeeper hesitated, by the rules, he knew he shouldn’t announce her.

But seeing the frail Cedric, the gatekeeper’s heart softened with pity.

Monson know you’re here, but I can’t promise she’ll see you.”

After a moment’s hesitation, his heart softened. “Alright,” he said, “I’ll let Miss Mon

“Thank you, kind sir! Tears of joy welled up in Fiona’s eyes as she hugged her child rightly, her eyes red. “Cedric, you’re going to be okay now”

Inside the house, Athena’s smile instantly faded upon hearing the gatekeeper’s words.

Athena waved her hand weakly and said, her voice flat, “No, I won’t see her.”

Athena thought to herself, I want nothing to do with anyone from the Manson family

The gatekeeper returned after receiving Athena’s orders

“My lady says she will not see you,” the gatekeeper announced.

The joy instantly drained from Fiona’s face, “Young man,” she asked urgently, “did you tell Miss Monson that I’m not here as Mrs. Monson? I’m just a mother begging for help.”

The gatekeeper looked troubled and said, “Madam, why do you have to trouble Miss Monson again? All she wants now is a little peace and quiet.”

“But..” Fiona tried to protest, her voice trailing

goffin helplessness.

“Madam, you’d best be on your way now,” the gatekeeper said impatiently.

Fiona book two dejected steps back, but her gaze remained fixed on the courtyard, unwilling to give up.

Fiona thought desperately, Only Athena can save my son now.

‘If I go back empty–handed, Nicolas will surely give me hell

Ahel much deliberation, Fiona stood her ground, clutching her child.

“I’ll stay here until she sees mel” With that, Fiona began lowering herself to her knees in desperation.

Just then, an elderly voice echoed from within the courtyard. “Madam

Fions looked up to see the tightly shut gales swing open

Chapter 164

Marquita Huynh and Trina emerged from the courtyard.

Ever since Athena left. Marquita had loyally stayed by he

her side.

Marquita was Margaret’s trusted attendant, whom Fiona immediately recognized

Seeing Marquina step out, Fiona’s face lit up “Does this mean Miss Monson is willing to see me?” she asked eagerly.

Marquita offered a polite smile, though her eyes stayed cold and unreadable.

She said, “Mrs. Monson, you’re forcing Miss Monson’s hand.““”

Fiona’s face flushed with shame as she stammered, “Li truly had no other choice.”

Marquita glanced at the child in Fiona’s

Cedric looked deathly pale, the very picture of illness.

A flicker of conflicted compassion crossed Marquita’s face

She said, “In this vast world, is there truly no illness that can be treated without Miss Manson’s intervention? if Nicolas is willing, he could easily summon Imperial physicians to the estate.

Marquita’s words struck a nerve, leaving Fiona too ashamed to even meet her gaze.

“Lady Athena never seeks conflict, but if pushed to the brink, she won’t hesitate to cast aside all decorum.

“Since Miss Manson is too proper to confront you directly, let me speak plainly on her behalf”

Fiona’s face flushed with alternating shades of red and white, while Sirena beside her glared, her eyes blazing with fury. “How dare you speak like that?” she spat, “Mrs. Monson came here with sincere pleas. If you refuse to see her, so be it, but how dare you insult us on top of that?”

Sirena said, “Marquita, don’t think you can throw your weight around just because you serve Margaret! My lady may be kind, but I won’t let you off that

easy

Sirena was absolutely furious. After all, Fiona a was still a member of the Monson family.

No sooner had Sirena finished speaking than Marquita dropped to her knees with a dramatic thud.

All the while speaking Marquita dropped to her knees, pounding her forehead against the ground in an exaggerated display.

As Fiona stumbled backward in panic, Marquita relentlessly shuffled forward on her knees, walling with theatrical sobs, tears and snot streaming down her face in a pitiful display.

Common folks lived around this place.

Acurious bystander squeezed through the crowd, craning his neck for a better look. “What’s all the commotion? What happened?”
