Wesley forced a stiff smile. "Athena is already exceptional. There's nothing we need to teach her.
"But your own child, fresh back from overseas, doesn't even have the guts to show their face. Are they that ashamed?"
The tension in the room shot up immediately. The guests thought, 'Wow, they're already going at it?'
The Kennedy family's expressions soured.
Regina sneered, "Mr. and Mrs. Donovan, tonight's dinner includes French cuisine. Do you even know how to eat it? Would you like us to give you a hands-on lesson?"
Arthur didn't miss a beat. "Your kid just got back from abroad. Do they even know how to use a fork? Maybe we should give them a lesson."
At this, Josie raised her tiny hand and said in her sweet, childish voice, "I know how to use a fork. I can teach them."
The crowd couldn't help but laugh.
They looked down on the Donovan family for being poor, but they didn't think much of the Kennedy family either, who were rich but classless. So, they stayed neutral, just enjoying the show.
Regina was so furious she slammed the table, about to lose her temper.
Just then, someone exclaimed, "Athena is here—"
Both families instinctively turned toward the entrance, pausing their argument.
With Athena being the former beloved daughter of the Kennedy family, even those who hadn't met her had certainly heard of her.
She was also the top student and a recognized beauty of Kitmore City High School, the best in the city—everyone in the room knew who she was.
Given the special nature of tonight's event, the moment she walked in, she became the center of attention.
Today, she was dressed casually but stylishly.
Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and she wore white sneakers, a light yellow T-shirt with a cute duck design, and white knee-length shorts. A cream-colored crossbody bag hung over her shoulder.
She looked fresh, vibrant, and full of energy.
What really caught everyone's attention was her flawless, glowing skin, the curves that even her loose T-shirt couldn't hide, her shiny black hair, long curled eyelashes, and full, rosy lips.
In short, everything about her was just right—her fair skin, dark hair, rosy lips, and perfect figure left no room for criticism.
The only thing anyone could possibly nitpick was that she wasn't wearing any designer brands.
Under the gaze of everyone in the room, Athena walked confidently to the main table, completely unfazed by the attention.
"Dad, Mom, Arthur, Josie, I'm sorry. I only got Zoe's message a few minutes ago, so I'm a bit late."
Seeing her healthy complexion and bright smile, with no sign of distress or discomfort, Wesley and the others finally relaxed.
"As long as you're okay." Wesley smiled. "There aren't any seats left at this table. Should we move to another one or head out?"
"The show isn't over yet. How can we leave now?" Athena grinned as she gently patted Josie's head. "Josie, how about you sit with me?"
Josie clapped her hands excitedly. "Okay. I'm so small, I won't take up much space."
Athena cheerfully lifted her up and seated her on her lap.
Wesley leaned in and whispered, "Athena, what's going on here?"
Athena smiled. "You've been set up. But don't worry, just think of it as watching a good show. Hold back your anger for now, and we'll make sure to return the favor later."
Seeing her so composed, Wesley and the others calmed down as well. "Alright."
"Well, well, Athena, you're finally here," Regina said, her old grudges bubbling to the surface. With a cold smile, she continued, "Now that you're here, why haven't you greeted us, the adoptive parents who raised you for 18 years? Or are you afraid we'll ask for financial support now that you've latched onto a rich backer?"
"But your own child, fresh back from overseas, doesn't even have the guts to show their face. Are they that ashamed?"
