Chapter 35

Kelsey gave a soft smile, her hands crossed over her abdomen as she spoke with biting sarcasm. “Your daughter really is something else the agree to an annulment, instead, she wants to break off the e

engagement.”

At this, both Eloise and Willow stared at her in shock.

They exchanged surprised glances, and Eloise quickly asked, “How could she want to break off the engagement

“She’s your daughter, Why ask me? You should be asking her, Kelsey replied, her inne growing sharp. She had never made a mistake in all theory yet now, Athena had managed to outmaneuver her.

Willow’s heart tightened with worry. She lugged gently at Eloise’s sleeve, her distress palpable. Eloise, sensing the anxiety, patted her hand reassuringly “Don’t worry.”

Turning back to Kelsey with a polite smile, she said, “Perhaps my daughter misunderstood. I speak with her and get back to you

“By the way, I recently acquired some Moonlight Silk. The fabric looks exquisite, and it would complement your complexion perfectly I’ll have someone send it over to your house”

Eloise’s tone was sweet and flattering, and Kelsey clearly appreciated it.

Moonlight Silk was a rare and valuable fabric. Not only was it soft to the touch, but it shimmered like moonlight when the wearer moved, lending them an ethereal beauty.

Kelsey’s demeanor softened, and she smiled at Eloise. “You’re too kind.”

They exchanged a smile, and the conversation shifted, the engagement issue effectively brushed aside.

But in her heart, Kelsey couldn’t help but sneer. Eloise thought she had the upper hand, but what she didn’t realize was that her seemingly innocen daughter Athena had earned how to fight back.

The flower hall had fallen silent, and Athena stood alone, almost untouchable, like a poison no one dared approach.

In contrast, Willow basked in the attention, surrounded by adoring guests. The difference between the two was glaringly obvious.

Just as Atheria was about to leave, a maid came over to clear the coffee set and accidentally spilled some coffee on her.

Athena frowned slightly but didn’t speak. The maid, terrified, immediately bowed and begged, “Lady Athena, Im so sorry! Please forgive me!”

“Get up,” Athena said, her voice calm, showing no intention of scolding the maid. “Trina, let’s go back and change

The noise in the courtyard had grown unbearable, and Athena had been eager to leave. This was the perfect excuse,

She began walking toward her courtyard, with Trina following closely behind.

Though Athena’s departure turned a few heads, no one paid much attention. After all, today was Willow’s day-

As Athena passed through the corridor and approached a flower gate, she was suddenly blocked by a tall fi

Michael stood in her way, as imposing as a mountain, his expression as cold as ice.

Athena’s first instinct was to turn and leave, but when she looked back, she saw Trina was no longer behind her instead, there were two of Michael’s pwards.

Before she could react, he grabbed her wrist, the sharp pain making her finch, She owned and, in a low voice, said, “Let go.”

Athena furrowed her brow, genuinely confused. She couldn’t understand his intentions

She thought, “He loves Willow, and I have already made concessions regarding the engagement. So why is he still clinging to me?

Meanwhile, Athens had always been the one chasing after him. Now that she was no longer chasing, he was the one unwilling to let go.

He thought, “What is she smiling at? Is she mocking me, thinking she is about to rise above me? Does she even realize the gravity of her actions?”

Infrustration, Michael raised his voice. “Athena, do you really think you’re going to climb higher now? Do you think someone like you could ever deserve Ray’s attention? Do you even think things through!”
