"To use a popular phrase: given her comfortable background, why would she need to work so hard?
"In middle school, her schedule was packed. Besides extra tutoring, she took lessons in dance, musical instruments, painting, tennis, swimming, and more—over a dozen different skills. She barely had any time for fun, even during holidays.
"Especially in the final stretch of high school, she studied late into the night, often until midnight. Weekends and holidays were spent catching up with private tutors instead of enjoying herself.
"We've prepared some photos and videos of her dedication and hard work so everyone can see for themselves. We hope they inspire more students to keep striving and achieve even better results."
As soon as she finished speaking, the large screen behind the stage dimmed and then lit up, displaying a series of photos.
The crowd gasped in shock as they took in the images.
"What are these pictures? Oh my, is that cramped living room even livable?"
"That tiny space is packed with so many cabinets, and the walls are covered with shelves. It looks like there's barely room to move around..."
"Wait, isn't that Athena in the photos? Is this where she's been living since the Kennedy family kicked her out? This is awful."
"Oh my gosh, that's supposed to be a bedroom? It's more crowded than the shelves in a corner store. You'd have to climb up and down just to sleep, and there's no room to change clothes except on the bed. How depressing..."
"Does Kitmore City really have slums like this? If I had to live in a place like that, I'd rather be dead..."
Athena and her family hadn't been paying much attention to Zoe's speech, but when they heard the crowd's comments, they all looked up—and their expressions immediately darkened.
The screen wasn't showing photos of Zoe's diligent study sessions at all. It was displaying images of the Donovan family's daily life.
There were photos of Athena and her parents entering Block 6, Vlento Court, pictures of the family eating together in their cramped, narrow living room, and even shots of their living room, balcony, and bedrooms.
Some of the photos had clearly been taken from outside, through the balcony or windows, while others were captured directly inside the living room.
These photos had obviously been taken recently, but because the Donovan family's house and furniture were so old, the images had a dingy, yellowish tone that made everything look bleak and shabby.
The Donovan family members' faces were filled with anger as they realized they had been secretly photographed, deceived, and humiliated.
Only Josie, unaware of the cruelty and malice in the world, cheerfully pointed at the screen and exclaimed, "Athena, Athena, that's our home!"
To her, the place where she lived with her parents, siblings, and grandparents was the home she loved most.
She had never imagined that their small, rundown home could be a source of ridicule and scorn from others.
Seeing the pictures now only filled her with warmth and familiarity.
Her innocent, childlike voice caught everyone's attention.
The crowd turned to look at her, smirking with a mix of emotions—sympathy, mockery, contempt, and disgust.
Wesley and the others were at a loss for how to explain the situation to Josie. They deeply regretted bringing her to this event.
