Zoe's face turned bright red, her voice sharp with frustration. "Athena, no matter how hard you try to act tough, you can't change the fact that you're not the rich girl you used to be!" she snapped.
"See this handsome guy next to me? That's Andrew, the real heir to the Kennedy family and my boyfriend!" Zoe added, her tone smug and dripping with satisfaction.
"Jealous? Angry? Wishing you could take everything away from me?" she taunted, her words laced with venom.
Andrew stood with his chin slightly lifted, looking at Athena with a mix of arrogance and curiosity. He'd heard all about her from his family and from Zoe, and none of it had been flattering.
But now, seeing her in person, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful and composed she was. Athena had this effortless grace that made her stand out, even among the most glamorous celebrities.
It annoyed him, though, that she didn't seem to care. She hadn't even spared him a glance since they arrived.
Athena, unfazed, focused on Zoe. "Relax. I couldn't care less about this piece of trash you've picked up."
Andrew's eyes flared with anger at Athena's remark. "Athena Donovan, what the hell do you mean by that?" he shot back.
"Are you really that clueless?" Athena replied coolly, pulling a bottle of pepper spray from her bag. "You and Zoe are a match made in heaven."
Before anyone could react, Athena aimed the spray directly at Zoe's face and pressed the nozzle, unleashing a fierce, stinging mist.
Zoe screamed in agony, clutching her face as she stumbled backward. "My eyes! They're burning! I can't see!" she cried out, her voice trembling with pain.
While Zoe staggered, Athena swiftly turned and sprayed Lucas as well. He barely had time to react before his eyes started burning, and his nose became clogged. He gasped for air, struggling to breathe.
Andrew rushed over, shouting, "Athena, what the fuck did you do to Zoe?"
But before he could finish, Athena swung the spray can his way and fired again. Even though he was farther off, the mist reached him, and he was instantly overwhelmed by the burning sensation.
Just like the others, Andrew was caught off guard. His eyes, nose, and mouth felt like they were on fire, and he doubled over, clutching his face and screaming in pain.
Calmly, Athena stowed the pepper spray back in her bag and picked up the phones Zoe and Lucas had dropped.
She tossed them into a nearby abandoned fountain filled with years of stagnant, foul-smelling water. Even if they were waterproof, the phones were done for.
"Fuck, Athena!" Andrew managed to shout through the pain, his vision still blurry. "The Kennedy family took you in, raised you for years, and this is how you repay us? You have no fucking manners?"
Athena's response was icy and cutting. "Do you even listen to yourself? Spying on people, spreading lies—that's what you call manners?"
Her gaze grew sharper, her voice slicing through the air. "You've got to be kidding me. I've never even held Lucas's hand, let alone anything else. Maybe you should get him some help before his delusions turn into something dangerous."
She raised her voice deliberately, ensuring everyone in the neighborhood could hear and that Lucas's lies would not tarnish the Donovan family.
