She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 32

Isaac tried to placate Harry with a forced smile. "Mr. Freeman, please listen to me. This is all just a misunderstanding

"My wife was speaking out of anger earlier. We just wanted to check on how Athena is doing and understand her relationship with you. She's still young, and we believe getting involved too early isn't good for her, so we may have spoken harshly to scare her!" Isaac defended. "That's ridiculous!" Harry shot back, flipping him off with a fierce glare. "Athena saved my life once, and I consider her family. You keep slandering our relationship-are you trying to provoke me?"

The crowd buzzed with realization. Oh, so the Donovan family's lost daughter had that kind of connection with the playboy! They felt ashamed for misunderstanding the young woman. After all, saving someone's life at such a young age was truly remarkable Isaac felt a a wave of regret wash over him. If only he had known earlier, he wouldn't have made such mistakes.

"I'm sorry, it was our misunderstanding," he said, wiping his brow and bowing slightly toward Harry on the screen. "Mr. Freeman, since you and Athena are like family, that makes us family too, About renewing the contract...

Athena interrupted him. "Mr. Kennedy, I've left the Ken

Kennedy family and have no ties to them. So my family isn't your family, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to claim otherwise

Isaac stared at her in shock, struggling to find his words. In front of so many people, Athena refused to give him any respect? He had raised her for eighteen years, and this was how she treated him?

At that moment, Regina watched her husband grovel to Harry, and her anger toward Athena reached a boiling point. Athena knew how important Vission Group was to the Kennedy family, so why hadn't she mentioned her relationship with Harry? If the Kennedy family had known about Athena's connection to Harry, would they have still driven her away? Athena was deliberately hiding this crucial information, playing the Kennedy family for fools with Harry.

Regina no longer hoped for Harry's sympathy and pointed at Athena, shouting, "You're an ungrateful brat! Do you have any idea how much the Kennedy family has spent on you over the years? Even if it's not two or three million, it's at least a million!" "You say you have no connection to the Kennedy family, then pay back every cent with interest!"

A million?

The onlookers were stunned, some forgetting to swallow their food, others forgetting what they were about to say. Just raising a child to eighteen cost that much? What kind of world did the Donovan family's lost daughter come from?
