The elderly onlookers began murmuring among themselves. "That young man is handsome, but how could he be so wicked to spread such lies about a young girl?" one elderly woman remarked.
"Look at the girl! She's dressed modestly and carries herself so innocently. She doesn't seem like the type to do such things," another onlooker added.
"Compared to her, the other girl's outfit is much tighter, and she's showing off her thighs and waist. Isn't she trying to attract attention?" someone whispered, pointing subtly at Zoe.
Zoe was seething with rage, wanting to lash out at the old folks for their outdated and narrow-minded views. But with her eyes burning and swollen shut, she couldn't even see, let alone retaliate.
Infuriated by the crowd's criticism of his girlfriend, Andrew shouted, "Athena, you're such a disgrace! It's no wonder my parents and everyone at home look down on you, saying you're uncultured, unsophisticated, and greedy..."
Before he could finish, a sudden splash of water hit him, drenching him from head to toe. The crowd erupted in laughter as he looked up furiously, only to see Athena's parents standing on the balcony—one holding an empty bucket, the other ready with another.
Not wanting to involve her family further, Athena quickly warned the trio, "The spray is toxic, so you should see a doctor immediately. If you delay, you could suffer serious consequences like vision loss or even blindness."
Andrew's face drained of color at her words. "Zoe! Lucas! Athena threw your phones into that fountain. Get them yourself! I'm going to get my eyes checked!" he shouted before sprinting toward his vehicle.
Athena calmly walked around, crushing the scattered blueberries underfoot, before heading into the building and slamming the door shut behind her.
As the Donovans retreated and the troublemakers were subdued, the elderly crowd began to disperse, chatting among themselves as they left.
Across the street, two men watched from the shadows of a tree, having witnessed the entire confrontation.
Louis marveled, "That spray is something else. It's almost as strong as tear gas. I wonder where you can buy something like that."
"Mr. Graham, Miss Donovan might be staying home for a while. Should we continue observing?" he asked.
Matthew paused briefly before responding, "I'll wait in the car. You stay here and keep an eye on things." His directive left his secretary momentarily speechless.
Meanwhile, back at Building No. 6, Athena reached the top floor and saw her parents waiting at the door. The enticing aroma of food filled the air.
"Athena, come in and join us for dinner," Wesley called out, gesturing for her to enter.
After the earlier ordeal, Wesley felt a newfound bond with his daughter, the tension from their previous interactions melting away. He no longer felt the nervousness that once clouded their relationship.
Athena responded with a soft smile as she stepped into the house, but then she suddenly stopped in her tracks, surprise flickering across her face.
