Chapter 53

Outside the entrance of Vission Resort, both Athena's car and Matthew's luxury vehicle were parked.

Matthew, ever the gentleman, asked. "Miss Donovan, would you mind if I ride with you and you give me a lift?" Athena glanced at Matthew's car, her mind filled with questions,

She thought, 'Mathew's car is the stuff of legend-a vehicle worth billions, rumored to be indestructible even by a truck collision. So why is he opting to ride in my car instead of his own?"

Louis, ever quick to read the room, smoothly explained, "Miss Donovan, Mr. Graham had a few drinks earlier, so it's not convenient for him to drive. How about he rides with you while take care of driving his car and escorting your family!" Athena thought it made sense and remembering that she'd had a little red wine herself, took a hangover pill from her bag and popped it into her mouth. "That works" Arthur quickly spoke up. "I'll ride with Josie in Athena's car

As her brother, he instinctively felt that this too-handsome Matthew might not have the best intentions. He needed to keep an eye on things,

Athena nodded. "Alright. Mom, Dad, you can ride in the car with Louis

Wesley and Claire exchanged a quick glance, subtly sizing up Matthew before agreeing. "Sure"

It was clear that Matthew's intentions weren't entirely straightforward, but he seemed respectful and wasn't like the other wealthy types who were at the party. As long as Athena didn't mind, they saw no need to interfere

As soon as Athena got into the driver's seat, Matthew casually opened the passenger door, slid in, and buckled up.

Arthur shot him a discreet glare, thinking. How does this guy move so fast?"

Reluctantly, he got into the back seat with Josie, silently vowing. I'm watching you-don't even think about trying anything with Athena.

Once everyone was buckled in, Athena started the car.

The drive was smooth and steady.

Matthew didn't make small talk. Instead, he quietly observed the car's interior. The upholstery felt luxurious, almost like genuine leather, but he knew it wasn't.

Taking advantage of Athena's focus on driving, he discreetly pulled out a small knife and lightly ran it along the seat and side panel near his right leg.
