The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497

Xander looked at Kendra with his usual air of detachment, his expression as cold as ever. He gave her only the barest nod, a gesture devoid of warm welcome. His indifference wat unmistakable, anyone else would have taken the hint and stepped back

But Kendra remained unfazed. She flashed a familiar smile. “Three years apart, Xander, and you’re still i

giving me the cold shoulder?”

She was breathtaking her eyes soll with affection as they lingered on him.

With her beauty and background, she was the kind of woman most men couldn’t say no to

But Kander remained unmoved. As she stepped closer, he pulled Athena toward him and said, without expression, “This is my future wife.”

Kendra’s smile froze in place. Her gaze snapped to Athens, and all tenderness drained from her face, replaced by a cold, hostile glare

Kendra gave Athena a casual once–over, then curved her lips into a knowing, subtly condescending smile. “Oh, I know who you are,” she said.

Her words dripped with unspoken implication,

Everyone knew Athena as the Monson family’s long–lost daughter, who was eventually sent to the military for discipline after accusing her adopted sister Cold and ungrateful, she had even severed ties with her own family how, she was nothing more than a mere Viscountess

To Kendra, a woman like that could never deserve someone as noble and brilliant as Xander. She could only wonder what kind of tricks Athena had used to so thoroughly cloud his judgment

Kendra didn’t even deem Athena worthy of her attention, the woman couldn’t pose a threat whatsoever

Aber all, Alexandra had made it clear that the position of Mrs. Cavendish was reserved for Kendra alone.

Whether in family pedigree or reputation, Athena simply paled in comparison.

Aher a brief pause, Kendra offered Athena a graceful smile, but the sight curl at the corner of her lips betrayed a subtla mockery.

Athena caught the look and returned a gentle, knowing unit

She had already guessed that Kendra saw her as a rival, but she had no intention of engaging in a battle of egos. After all, Athena had never planned to marry Xander.

The crowd, expecting a dramatic confrontation, was left watching in silence as the moment slipped away, the curtain falling before the first act even began.

“So, you’re thanking me for playing your human shield?” Athena teased, flashing him a playful grin

“Come on, Frince Xander, you’ve had my pack plenty of times too. No need for thanks,” she replied.
