The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237

Eloise was reluctant to leave, but a panting servant rushed up to her in a panic.

“Lady Eloise, something terrible has happened,” the servant said anxiously, “Our Aurora Atelier is in trouble,

What happened? Out with it!”

Since its inception, the exquisite crystal glassware crafted by the Aurora Melier had been immensely popular among the nobility,

With its sky–high prices and unique charm, it was truly unparalleles in Pidence City,

The Monson family made a fortune from this venture.

Naturally, much of the

the credit went

Now that the Monson family’s entire livelihood hinged on the Aurora Atelier, how could Eloise not be utterly distraught after hearing the news?

The servant gasped for breath and cried out in panic. “Our entire shipment has been stolen. Many customers have canceled their orders because there’s no stock left

Upon hearing this, Eloise’s face went deathly pale. She swayed unsteadily, nearly collapsing to the ground.

A maid rushed to steady her. “Lady Eloise, you must take care of yourself,”

“Hurry, help me get to the Aurora Atelier now.”

The maid hurriedly supported Eloise as they rushed out.

Athena was startled, secretly wondering who could be so formidable as to raid the goods of the Monson family,

She thought with glee. But whoever it is, this is truly ingenious. How brilliant to have ruined the Monson family’s day on Willow’s wedding

With her mood instantly brightened, Athena walked with a brisk pace,

From a nearby loft, a masked man was watching in Athena’s direction.

He was dressed in an arure robe, with only half his face visible beneath a silver mask.

With long slender fingers, he removed the mask, revealing a breathtakingly handsome visage.

Standing beside Ferris, a black–clad shadow guard reported respectfully. “Lond Ferris, the mission is accomplished”

Without turrung around, Ferris’s voice carried undeniable authority. “Offload the Monson family’s goods immediately before any complications arise

The crystal glassware cost a fortune to produce, but selling it overseas would instantly double the profits.

He had chosen this day to sinke for one reason only, which was to avenge Athena. The Monson family was nobody to him. He wanted them to leam the true price of crossing Athena. The Oslone family was his next target.

As Athena a figure vanished from sight, Ferris donned his mask once more. His black hood enveloped him completely as he turned and stepped back into the shadows of the room

When news of the crystal glassware robbery reached the duke’s estate, Henry was so enraged he nearly collapsed on the spot.

Clutching his chest, he was gasping for air for what felt like an eternity.

With his voice shaking. Henry asked, “How much of the shipment is left

The messenger boy trembled in fear, too terrified to respond as he watched Henry nearly faint from rage.

Henry took a few shaky breaths and asked hesitantly, “Half?”

The servant shook his head. Henry closed his eyes and asked again, “Could it be only thirty pervent left?“

‘Surely, no matter how skilled they are, there’s no way they could have stolen everything right under the Monson family’s nose, he thought. Thirty percent would already be the limit of their abilities”

But the servant shook his head again. Henry’s eyes bulged in disbelief. “H–how much is left, exactly?”

The servant, terrified, fell to his knees with a thud, his face ashen. He wailed, “Duke Henry, not a single one is left.”

“What?” Henry exclaimed, his eyes rolling back as he fainted.

That shipment was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and now it was all gone in an instant.

He remembered the agreement. If they failed to deliver on time, they’d owe triple compensation.

Triple compensation would land him in hot water.

Eloise returned with her smile gone. It felt as if her world had come crashing down.

On what should have been the happiest day, a heavy gloom hung over the duke’s estate. Everyone looked as if they were at a funeral

The wedding guests noticed this and began whispering to each other, “What’s going on? Is Lady Willow unwilling to marry, or what? Why are they pulling a long face!”

“Who knows? I’m not going to put up with this nonsense. I’m out of here.”

Many guests, clueless about the real situation, left in a huff.

Henry and Eloise tried to persuade them to stay, but their efforts were futile.

Given the devastating blow to the Aurora Atelier, Henry and Eloise were barely holding it together.

Of course, they couldn’t publicly acknowledge any of this. After all, it was embarrassing.

Willow, secluded in her room, had no idea what was happening outside. She was still waiting for Eloise to bring Margaret back.

But after what felt like an eternity, there was still no sign of them.

Unable to sit still any longer, she asked Nona, “Hasn’t Grandmother returned yet? The wedding is about to begin

With both her brothers still recovering, it was humiliating enough not having them escort her out for the wedding as tradition required.

If even Margaret didn’t show up, she’d be buried under all the gossip.

Nona shook her head frantically. “Lady Eloise has returned, but I don’t know what happened. She looked utterly distraught, and even…. even many of the guests have already left.”

“What?” Willow shot to her feet in anger. “No, I have to go out and check it out.”

“Lady Willow, you mustn’t.” Nona frantically blocked her path. “The bride mustn’t be seen before the ceremony.”

Willow composed herself and sat back down. “You’re right. It’s my big d

day. I can’t be seen before the ceremony.”

Seated in her room, Willow was on pins and needles. She felt extremely uneasy.

The wedding was about to start, but there was still no activity outside.

She urged Nona, “Go outside and see what’s going on. Why hasn’t the wedding procession arrived yet?”

Sering Willow’s genuine distress, Nona said, “Yes, Lady Willow. I’ll find out immediately.”

Willow wanted anxiously. Soon, Nona returned. Willow asked urgently. “Did you manage to find out anything?”
