On the morning of July 1st, Athena received a message from her father:
[Athena, you can check your SAT results today, right? Your mom is planning to buy groceries and make a big dinner to celebrate. Is there anything special you'd like to eat? Do you want to come over for lunch or dinner?]
Athena replied: [I think the results will be available in the afternoon. I'll come over for dinner. I'll love whatever Mom cooks, don't worry.]
After responding, she set her phone aside and picked up her tablet to continue reviewing the documents sent by Harry.
Since Vission Group had cut ties with the Kennedy family, a wave of individuals and companies had approached Harry seeking partnerships. Harry had already filtered out many, but over twenty remained.
Harry's initial thought was to keep it in the family and give the exclusive agency rights to the Donovans.
However, Athena felt that her family wasn't yet equipped with the necessary expertise and experience. They were honest people and might not be ready for the cutthroat world of business.
Meanwhile, Claire and Arthur returned from the market with fresh ingredients and decided to take a nap. After all, running a barbecue stand meant they usually worked until around 3 AM, and waking up early left them sleep-deprived.
Claire slept until 3:30 PM, then donned her apron and washed her hands, ready to start preparing dinner.
Just then, Wesley Donovan received a text message. It was from Athena:
[Mom, Dad, my exam results are out, and I'm the top scorer in the province! My friends have booked a few tables at a hotel for a celebration dinner, starting at 5 PM. I've sent a car to pick you up. It should arrive in about ten minutes, so get ready to leave.]
Wesley found it odd. Athena had said she would come over for dinner, so why the sudden change to a hotel celebration?
But Athena mentioned that her friends had organized it, and perhaps she couldn't refuse their hospitality. To be sure, Wesley decided to call his daughter to confirm.
However, for some reason, the signal was poor, and he couldn't get through despite several attempts.
Considering the limited time, Wesley didn't want to delay. He quickly informed his family about the change of plans, urging them to dress nicely, and called Maria.
Maria was thrilled. "Congratulations to Athena! But I asked my manager, and I can't get the day off. I'll have to celebrate with her tomorrow."
Wesley reassured her, "Focus on your work and make sure to rest. We'll save some food for you when we get back."
He then whipped up a couple of dishes, wrapped them in plastic, and stored them in the fridge before changing into his own outfit.
Once the family was ready, the car arrived downstairs. The driver, dressed in an impeccable black suit, politely opened the door for them. "Mr. and Mrs. Donovan, Miss Athena sent me to take you to the celebration dinner. Please, get in."
The Donovans thanked him and got into the car with their children. Throughout the ride, Wesley had a nagging feeling that something was off. This kind of arrangement didn't feel like Athena's doing.
