In fact, numerous organizations and individuals offered her financial awards, but she declined them all, as she didn't wish to be used as a tool for publicity.
The Donovan family gasped in unison; their eyes filled with respect as they looked at Athena. At just eighteen, she had already earned a million dollars.
It was impressive, but despite their admiration, the Donovan family shook their heads in disagreement.
Wesley said solemnly, "Athena, thank you for your kind offer, but we can't use your money. You've earned it through your hard work."
The others nodded, their motions synchronized.
Wesley set his jaw firmly, and with a spirited tone, he declared, "That said, since the whole family agrees to buy the villa, let's do it!"
The family cheered, their faces beaming with joy.
Athena smiled. "Dad, how about this? I'll let you guys hold on to the 1 million dollars for me. When I need money in the future, you can give it back to me. After all, it's not safe for a young girl to keep that much money."
Everyone nodded in response and thought it made sense.
Wesley contemplated for a moment. "Alright, we'll write you an IOU. Whenever you need money, we'll make sure to come up with it."
Claire nodded eagerly. "That's a good idea. It's settled then."
"That works for me," Athena said, her lips curling into a faint smile.
Wesley looked around and chuckled. "Just to be clear, if we buy the villa, everyone's names must be on the property deed, including Grandpa, Grandma, Maria, Athena, and Josie. Not one person can be left out."
Everyone accepted this arrangement without protest.
Maria lowered her head, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her shirt beneath the table. She thought, 'Really? Can I also have my name on it?' She wanted to ask but couldn't bring herself to speak. 'Since Dad said so, my name will definitely be on the deed.'
This meant she would soon have a place of her own in the city. As tears began to trickle down her cheeks, Maria quickly stood up and turned away, trying to hide her emotions. "I'll get more food from the kitchen," she said.
She hurried into the kitchen, pressed her hands on the counter, and turned her back to the living room as tears streamed down her face. These were tears of happiness, sweet even as they touched her lips.
In the living room, Wesley immediately redialed Bard Property's number, put the call on speaker, and informed them of the family's decision.
The person on the other side of the line seemed to be relieved, chuckling as she said, "If you can come up with an additional 1 million for the down payment, the monthly mortgage should be just over 6 thousand dollars."
Everyone's eyes lit up, their expressions easing considerably. The mortgage for their house from Bard Property was around 4 thousand dollars a month. By adding just 2 thousand, they could move into a villa with conditions ten times better. It was an incredible deal.
Wesley was pleased but also a bit worried that Bard Property might change their mind. "When can we sign the agreement for selling the old house and buying the new villa?" he asked.
