The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464

“Lady Athena isn’t even home-how could she possibly meet anyone? Waaah…”

Lance’s booming voice instantly drowned out Nona’s. By the time his dramatic, tearful outburst subsided, both Nona and Willow stood there, utterly stunned and at a loss for words.

“Athena isn’t home?” Nona seized the chance and shrieked, “How could that be? We clearly saw the Viscountess at home.”

“Saw her?” Lance narrowed his eyes dangerously. “When did you see her? Or did you sneak in yourself?”

“I didn’t. I just know!” Nona retorted, her face flushing with anger as she secretly gritted her teeth, thinking, ‘Damn that gatekeeper, trying to trick me!’

Athena was the Viscountess-how could a lowly servant like her possibly trespass into her residence? That was punishable by death.

Lance scoffed. “If you didn’t see her, then why are you so damn sure my lady’s at home? All this wailing and carrying on- aren’t you just trying to smear the Viscountess’s name?”

Nona stammered, flustered, “I-I didn’t! I was just so concerned for Lady Willow, that’s why I resorted to this desperate

measure.”

Nona stammered, her face flushing with panic.

Willow took one look at Nona’s flustered face and knew she’d botched it.

‘What an utter idiot,’ Willow thought with disdain. ‘Getting rattled by a mere gatekeeper.

Seeing the crowd murmuring and pointing fingers at them, Willow had no choice but to step forward and declared with forced dignity, “I merely came to seek medicine, not to cause the Viscountess any difficulty. My maid acted rashly out of concern-there was never any intention to smear the Viscountess’s name.”

Willow straightened her back, exuding the authority of Marchioness of Somers. “Take me to the Viscountess at once,” she commanded.

Lance was speechless and thought how utterly shameless Willow was.

Yet outwardly, he put on a terrified expression. “Lady Willow, my lady truly isn’t here. Why must you press so hard?”

With that, he burst into dramatic sobs.

Willow’s chest heaved with fury.

‘Why the hell is that damn gatekeeper bawling like that? As if I’m the one bullying him now,” she thought.

With the crowd growing larger by the minute, Willow considered retreat.
