The guests buzzed with excitement. They glanced at Athena, then at Gia, before exchanging knowing smiles and turning their attention to the entrance, whispering among themselves.
"Wow, this is getting good! One drama ends, and another one begins. Even TV shows aren't this entertaining."
"I heard Mr. Harper canceled his engagement with Athena and plans to marry the real daughter of the Kennedy family. With both the fake and real daughters here tonight, do you think they'll end up fighting over him?"
"This is a real showdown—on one side, the new love like a princess, on the other, the old flame like a goddess. Who's he going to choose?"
"Only kids make choices—adults want both. One as a wife, the other as a mistress..."
People openly joked and laughed about the situation.
Wesley and the others looked furious, almost ready to pull Athena out of there.
But Athena stayed calm, smiling as if none of it bothered her at all.
Lucas entered, dressed in a stylish lavender checkered suit paired with white trousers. With his handsome face and tall, slender figure, he stood out among the men in dark suits, exuding a unique blend of elegance and trendiness.
On his arm was his well-endowed but not particularly bright sister, Jodie.
Jodie wore a bright yellow princess dress. Her large eyes appeared unfocused, as if she were severely nearsighted, giving her a dreamy, slightly dazed look that made people worry she might trip because she couldn't see clearly.
In reality, she wasn't nearsighted; she just naturally had that spacey, slightly slow-witted demeanor.
"Mr. Harper is still as handsome as ever," some women couldn't help but admire. "If he wanted to marry me, I'd pay him to do it."
"Poor Athena, she was so close to becoming the Harper family's daughter-in-law, but now the Kennedy family's real daughter is getting all the benefits..."
"I can believe Athena doesn't care about the Kennedy family's fortune, but there's no way she's okay with losing Mr. Harper..."
Lucas overheard the murmurs around him. He lifted his chin slightly, casting a sidelong glance at Athena, his expression clearly saying, "Did you hear that? Letting me go was your biggest mistake.
"Tonight, I'll be with Gia, while you're stuck with your shabby family, mocked and scorned by everyone..."
Athena, meanwhile, was calmly feeding Josie fruit, not even sparing Lucas a glance.
Lucas sneered internally, "Keep up the act. Let's see how long you can keep pretending."
Following the usher, he made his way to the front of the hall, where his seat was set at the Kennedy family's table.
Regina's eyes flickered with a quick idea. She stood up and warmly called out, "Mr. Harper, why don't you sit here with us?"
The crowd chuckled, thinking she was really playing dirty.
Athena's seat was directly in front of Regina, who was flanked by Andrew on one side and Gia on the other. By inviting Lucas to sit right behind Athena and next to Gia, it was clear that Regina was trying to provoke Athena.
Lucas couldn't have been more pleased with this setup.
"Thank you, Mrs. Kennedy." Lucas stood beside Athena, graciously thanking Regina.
"You're welcome; we're practically family," Regina replied with a knowing smile as she moved to sit on the other side of the table.
"Gia, you look especially beautiful tonight," Lucas said as he sat down, greeting her with all the charm of a gentleman.
Gia smiled sweetly. "Thank you, you're looking particularly handsome tonight too."
Andrew patted Lucas on the shoulder and said loudly, "Mr. Harper, aren't you going to say hello to your ex-fiancée, Athena?"
"Athena, you're here too?" Lucas pretended to only now notice her, turning with a look of concern. "It's been a while; you seem to have lost some weight. Haven't you been getting enough rest?"
"Wow, this is getting good! One drama ends, and another one begins. Even TV shows aren't this entertaining."
