The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

Willow’s heart stirred. She thought it was a brilliant idea.

She didn’t even have to show her face, and Athena would be left holding the bag.

And she would be praised for her filial devotion.

But if Athena stubbornly refused to meet and something happened to Kelsey, she’d be torn to shreds by public opinion.

Willow’s brow furrowed slightly as she pretended to hesitate. “Isn’t this a bit too much?” she said.

The unspoken truth was, she actually wanted to do it-she just had to put on a show.

“Lady Willow, you go to such lengths for Kelsey’s illness-that’s true filial devotion. Who would dare say otherwise?” Nona declared, bursting with pride.

Given her lowly status, playing the victim card was the only way to get Michael’s attention. What was a little physical suffering compared to that?

Willow gave a slight nod, pressing a hand to her forehead as her body swayed dramatically, putting on a perfect show of near-fainting.

Nona rushed forward to steady her, exclaiming, “Lady Willow, what’s wrong? Please don’t scare me like this.”

“I… I’m fine,” Willow replied feebly, her delicate frame teetering dangerously, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Nona shrieked at the top of her lungs, “How could you be okay? Lady Willow, your leg injury still hasn’t healed. After caring for Lady Osborne day and night, how could your body possibly endure it? Even if the Viscountess strikes me down today, I must beg for an audience.”

With that, Nona darted up the steps and dropped to her knees outside the main gate.

Kneeing, Nona cried out in a piercing voice, “Please, Viscountess, have mercy! Save Lady Willow, I beg you! Please, Viscountess, have mercy! Save Lady Willow!”

Have to admit, Nona’s victim-card strategy worked brilliantly.

The sight of the injured Willow, coming to beg for medicine with her loyal maid in tow-their pitiful act drew a flood of sympathetic glances.

A bystander, unaware of the truth, remarked, “How filial Lady Willow is, coming all this way herself to seek medicine for her mother-in-law, Kelsey. For such devotion, the Viscountess really ought to come out and meet her.”
