Back in school, everyone praised Athena as the most beautiful and intelligent girl.
She had no shortage of admirers, but once pictures and videos of the Donovans' poverty started circulating, Zoe was confident no affluent family would still consider her a suitable match.
'Of course, some might play around with her. But marry her? Their families would never allow it,' Zoe thought, smirking.
When news broke that Vission Group had severed ties with the Kennedy Group, Matthew Graham was the first to be informed.
"Mr. Graham, should we reach out to Vission now?" Louis asked.
Matthew remained calm. "No need to rush. First, find out why Vission made this move."
"Everyone's scrambling to contact Vission Group. Aren't you worried we might miss our chance?" Louis pressed.
Matthew crossed his arms, his gaze steady. "Vission Group is notorious for being unpredictable. They work with those who catch their eye and discard those who don't. The key to securing their partnership is understanding and catering to their interests."
Louis nodded. "Understood. I'll investigate the reasons behind their break with the Kennedy Group."
Matthew turned his attention to the window. "In the meantime, go to Harmony Hospital."
In the VIP ward at Harmony Hospital, Athena sat by her grandmother's bed, meticulously reviewing the medical reports from the past few days. Her grandmother remained unconscious, occasionally waking but only briefly and mumbling incoherently.
Athena had instructed the caregiver to alert her whenever her grandmother showed signs of waking. However, these brief moments of consciousness were so fleeting that her grandmother was usually asleep again when Athena arrived.
Considering this, Athena contemplated moving into the hospital for a while. She was lost in thought when the attending physician Jack Kingston entered.
"Miss Donovan," Jack greeted her politely. "Mr. Matthew Graham would like to see you."
Athena blinked in surprise. "Matthew Graham? The renowned Matthew Graham?" she asked, her mind immediately picturing the prominent figure.
Jack nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Athena wasn't flustered or excited about meeting such a prominent figure. Instead, she was puzzled. "Why does he want to see me?"
Jack explained, "He learned that Dr. Annie personally led the team that performed surgery on your grandmother a month ago. He's hoping you can help him reach out to Dr. Annie for treatment for a family member."
Athena had dealt with similar requests recently and immediately shook her head. "Dr. Annie mentioned she wouldn't be taking on new patients for a year. You know this, Dr. Kingston, so I'm afraid I can't help him."
Jack nodded in understanding. "I did explain that to him, but he's still hoping you'll give him ten minutes of your time.
"If you still decide not to help after those ten minutes, he promises not to trouble you again."
Jack hesitated before adding earnestly, "Mr. Graham has donated over 20 million dollars to Harmony Hospital, saving the lives of countless children and elderly patients. He's been a tremendous benefactor.
"If it's not too much trouble, Miss Donovan, I hope you can spare him those ten minutes."
