Everyone was speechless, thinking, 'Athena's words are razor-sharp.'
They wanted to scold her, to defend poor Zoe, but they couldn't say anything.
Athena's score was genuinely higher—something she could brag about for the rest of her life. There was nothing they could possibly criticize her for.
Andrew's expression was as dark as Zoe's, though fortunately for him, his face was hidden behind a mask.
"Athena, don't get so arrogant!" he snapped angrily. "It's just an 70-point difference. What's so impressive about that? You probably cheated—"
"Can't accept defeat, can you?" Athena cut him off with a smile. "When you lose, you resort to accusing others of cheating without a shred of evidence. That's so typical of the Kennedy family.
"And honestly, I didn't even think it was worth bragging about beating her by 70 points, yet Zoe went all out, throwing a grand graduation party just to flaunt her score, as if she was afraid people wouldn't notice. It's honestly laughable."
Slap! Zoe felt as if she could hear the sting of her own humiliation echoing in her ears. She wished the ground would swallow her whole.
Zoe's parents looked just as embarrassed. The pride and joy they had felt moments ago vanished the instant Athena's score was revealed, leaving only shame, just like Zoe. If they had known it would end like this, they would never have hosted this party...
"Miss Donovan," Jarred said, his face stiff with displeasure. "Even if you scored higher than Zoe, there's no need to be so condescending..."
For the sake of Zoe's dignity, he was ready to "politely" ask Athena and her family to leave.
But before he could speak further, a sudden commotion erupted near the entrance.
Someone burst into the room, shouting excitedly, "Mr. Graham is here!"
The name rippled through the crowd like a stone dropped in a pond, causing waves of astonishment.
In an instant, everyone's attention shifted away from Athena and Zoe. Nearly everyone was asking, "Which Mr. Graham? Could it really be that one?"
"It's that Mr. Graham!" someone who had been smoking outside yelled excitedly. "The one from Graham Group—there's no doubt!"
"Oh my God, what's he doing here?" People instinctively stood up, inching closer to the entrance, eager to catch a glimpse of him—and maybe even exchange a few words.
"This is supposed to be Zoe's graduation party. Could he be here to congratulate her?"
"Zoe must have some serious connections. To have so many influential guests, even Mr. Graham, at a graduation party..."
"But Mr. Graham wouldn't show up just to see the second-ranked student. The Murray family must have gone to great lengths to invite him."
As the whispers grew, an imposing and elegant figure appeared at the entrance, immediately capturing everyone's attention.
It really was Matthew. Even those who had never seen him before could instantly recognize that he wasn't an ordinary person.
To possess such striking looks would be a blessing, but his presence went beyond mere appearance. The air of nobility, elegance, and natural authority that surrounded him was something that could only be cultivated through generations of refinement—a regal aura that radiated brilliance.
However, despite the awe, there was a curious buzz among the crowd.
Matthew was wearing a stylish gentleman's hat and holding a large bouquet of roses. They thought, 'Why is he wearing a hat? And who are the flowers for?'
Almost everyone instinctively stood up, watching him with reverence.
Zoe's parents quickly stood up, rushing forward in excitement, their words tumbling over each other. "Mr. Graham, what a surprise! What brings you here?"
On stage, Zoe's eyes lit up, her cheeks flushed, and she clenched her fists in anticipation as she fixated on him. Her mind raced uncontrollably. 'Could it be that Mr. Graham brings flowers to my graduation party because he's interested in me? Is this his way of getting closer?'
It seemed like a wild fantasy, almost too good to be true.
