Athena noticed the tension in her parents and saw the fierce look on Arthur's face, realizing he was about to lose his temper. She quickly spoke up, "Alright, Harry, go ahead and prepare for tomorrow's lawsuit. Everything's fine on my end."
"Wait," Harry called out. "Mr. and Mrs. Donovan, how about I give you the exclusive rights to Vission Group in the West End? If you're interested, we can sign the deal tomorrow..."
Before he could finish, Athena ended the video call.
The Donovans didn't take Harry's offer seriously. However, the Kennedys were visibly shaken by his words.
The exclusive rights they couldn't secure despite all their efforts were casually offered to the Donovans? How could the Donovans be so lucky?
Or rather, how could Athena be so fortunate?
They had raised Athena with great effort, yet she was now taking away the wealth they believed was rightfully theirs. Was that fair?
In that moment, their feelings toward Athena were a mix of jealousy and resentment.
After ending the call, Athena turned to Isaac and Regina. "Mr. Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy, if Harry says he's going to sue, he will. I suggest you save your arguments for the courtroom to avoid giving him more ammunition."
Regina opened her mouth to retort. But Isaac stopped her, speaking gently to Athena. "Athena, haven't I treated you well all these years? Please, just this once, convince Harry to renew the exclusive rights with the Kennedy family for another three years."
"Just three years! This one last time! This is the last favor I'll ever ask of you!" he pleaded.
Arthur, infuriated, clapped Wesley on the shoulder and loudly declared, "Athena's father is right here! Mr. Kennedy, please stop pretending to be her father. It's very disrespectful!"
Isaac ignored him, focusing solely on Athena. "Athena, if you help me this time, all the years I've cared for you will have been worth it. I won't bother you again, and you won't owe me or the Kennedy family anything."
His voice was almost pleading, as if he were about to kneel. Everyone watching could see he was trying to guilt-trip her.
Not far away, Gia watched Athena through a slightly lowered car window. She had heard about Athena's beauty but hadn't thought much of it until now. Seeing Athena in person, her radiance felt like a thorn piercing Gia's heart.
It was because the Kennedy family had raised Athena like a princess that she carried herself with such confidence and poise. If Athena had grown up in the modest Donovan family, she might have been charming, but she wouldn't have the poise she has now.
Thinking this, Gia clenched her teeth, her already envious gaze now tinged with hostility. In her mind, Athena owed the Kennedy family.
If Athena didn't repay the Kennedy family's losses many times over, she deserved to be struck by lightning.
But Athena clearly didn't see it that way.
In response to Isaac Kennedy's almost desperate plea, she remained polite. "Mr. Kennedy, with all due respect, Vission Group gave you six years of exclusive rights. The money you've earned should be more than enough for a comfortable life."
"Everything has its limits. You should know when to stop." She paused briefly before continuing, "Instead of wasting time with Harry and me, you should focus on expanding your business elsewhere."
"Wait," Harry called out. "Mr. and Mrs. Donovan, how about I give you the exclusive rights to Vission Group in the West End? If you're interested, we can sign the deal tomorrow..."
