The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559

Chapter 559

Athena’s gaze at Eloise remained utterly unmoved.

Seeing the tears on her face, Athena’s eyes only grew colder.

She knew that Eloise’s fake tears and feigned weakness were all for Nicolas,

Eloise didn’t come in regret, but

at in the realization that the duke’s estate was collapsing.

Tears streaked down Eloise’s face as she slowly approached Athena, the hem of her dress trailing along the bluestone floor and leaving a serpentine trail of dampness behind her.

“Athena, I beg you, please…” she sobbed.

Just as her trembling fingers were about to touch Athena’s hand, Athena flicked them away with barely concealed disdain

With barely a touch, Eloise staggered back as if she’d been violently showed, collapsing to the ground in a heap.

She turned back, looking at Athena in utter disbelief and anguish. “Athena, I’m your mother… she cried, her voice thick with grievance.

Her theatrical wall was so full of exaggerated misery that even bystanders would have pitied Eloise.

However, no one was there to pity Athena in the past

After three years of grueling military service, Athena was expelled from the duke’s estate and left an orphan. No one had pitied her back then.

Athena’s eyes glinted with icy disdain. “Drop the act, Lady Eloise. You’re only here to plead for Nicolas’s release. I’ve severed all ties with the estate by blood and by law.

“We have nothing to do with each other, yet you keep harassing me. If you don’t stop, I’ll report you to the authorities”

With each word, Athena advanced a step

Finally, she stopped three paces away, towering over Eloise, her gaze murderous.

*No need to be so anxious, Lady Eloise. After all, you’ll be reunited with Lord Nicolas soon enough,” Athena said coldly.

“Back then, my grandfather was falsely accused and his entire family was exiled. Lady Eloise, you were the only exception. It was only because of your so- called “meritorious report that the Emperor showed you mercy and spared you from exile.

“He gave Eloise everything, yet she repaid his kindness with betrayal. She is worse than an animal, Athena thought bitterly.
