The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490

A flicker of surprise crossed Kelsey’s mind. She had assumed that even if Athena was disowned, the mother daughter bond would still remain. But to her astonishment, even Eloise harbored resentment toward her own daughter–clearly, Athena was nothing but trouble.

Kelsey turned to Willow and said, “When you have time, do try to talk some sense into Fiona Don’t let her be misled by those with all intentions”

“Yes, Mother in law,” Willow replied obediently, though inwardly she felt uneasy

She thought, “Last time I tried to talk to Fions, the just scolded me and sent me away. I really don’t know what kind of spell Athena has put on her to

make her change so much.”

Thank God, Eloise still trust me, Willow thought. ‘Or r’d have no place in this family”

Seeing that the conversation was winding down, Eloise subtly steered the topic toward Matthew’s recent troubles. She sighed. “Ever since the New Year, it’s been one thing after another. We haven’t gathered in ages, Why don’t you take the lead and host a banquet sometime? It might help it everyone’s spirits

Eloise’s words struck a chord with Kelsey. She nodded, “I was thinking the same. Why not hold it on the Double Third Festival–a traditional spring purification festival? It’s the perfect time to pray for blessings and ward off misfortune. Let’s make it a truly splendid affair?

‘If I’m going to host a banquet, it certainly won’t be a modest one, Kelsey thought to herself, ever the status–consciouslady.

She intended to use the event to mend fences and counter the negative rumors swirling around the Osborne family

The guest list would be carefully curated from her inner circle.

Knowing that the Maynard family would certainly be invited, Eloise breathed a sigh of relet,

“Very well, it’s settled then,” Eloise rose to her feet, her face breaking into a practiced smile. “Do take good care of yourself. I must be going now–there are still matters awaiting me at home.”

Kelsey nodded and instructed Willow, “Willow, please see Eloise out for me”

“Yes, Mother in law,” willow replied with a respectful curtsy, as Kelsey assisted by her maid, retreated to her own courtyard.

Willow linked arms with Eloise as they walked out and quietly asked, “Mother, will your plan really work?”

“Don’t worry, it’ll work for sure. Eloise thumped her chest confidently. “I’ve been through it all–would lover steer you wrong? Do you know why your Lather hasn’t taken a concubine all these years? That’s entirely thanks to my guidance. With men, you have to keep him enchanted while maintaining just the right balance–make him respect and adore you. Got it?”

Willow nodded obediently. “Of course, Mother, I’ll do exactly as you say.

With a beaming smile, Eloise said, “Willow was just talking about you, saying you cherish her like a precious gem. Seeing how devoted you two are really puts my mind at ease
