She Stuns the World - Chapter 879: Chapter 879

Claire was a bit displeased when Catherine said that about Maria. Claire said tactfully, "Catherine, Maria is already 24. She is a famous jewelry designer and is no longer a child. We will ask her opinion on anything related to her."
"In my eyes, Maria's always a child no matter how old she is. I can make the decisions." Catherine glanced at Maria and said disapprovingly, "Besides, I'm her mother. I came all the way back to her hometown. How can she refuse to live with her mother?"
Everyone looked at Maria.
Maria quickly raised her head and glanced at everyone. She lowered her head and mumbled, "I, it's up to you guys..."
Catherine smiled. "Claire, look, Maria is okay with this. You're my sister. You won't shut me out, right?
"I brought my luggage. I'll leave it in the car and move into the room I chose later. From now on, I'll live with you guys."
Everyone looked at each other with a hesitant look on their faces.
After all, other than Wesley and his wife, the others present had been taken care of by Catherine. They could not bring themselves to chase her away.
Claire had no contact with the Stevens family. She hoped to be close to Catherine, her only family and only sister.
As no one stood up to say something, Catherine took the opportunity to say, "That's good..."
"I think we should wait for Athena to come back." At this moment, Jaden spoke, "Athena bought the mountain and built these houses. It should be up to Athena to decide."
Hearing this, the others were relieved and nodded. "That's right. Athena hasn't seen Catherine yet. At least we should wait for her to see her."
"Athena is supposed to have a say on this matter..."
Catherine frowned. "Claire, Wesley, Athena is your daughter. She's a junior. It's not up to her to make the decisions in the family, right?"
Without waiting for Claire to speak, Jaden said, "Catherine, my parents are getting old. They don't care about family matters. Athena is the smartest, most capable, and most amazing person in our family. She makes the decisions in this family. We have no objections."
The others nodded repeatedly. "That's right. All of us together can't compare to Athena. She is our queen..."
After a few seconds of silence, Catherine looked at Claire with red eyes. "Claire, we meet again after 16 years. I'm rich and won't implicate you. I just want to live with you. Can't I do that?
"Maria told me that she lives here with Arthur and Alaric's friends. Why can't I live here? I'm your sister."
When Claire saw Catherine was about to cry, her heart softened. She immediately said, "Of course you can stay..."
At this moment, a polite but unquestionable voice sounded. "I'm sorry, I heard part of your conversation. I can't let Catherine stay here."
Upon hearing this voice, everyone was so touched that they almost cried as if they had seen the light of God descend on the ground.
As expected, Athena appeared at the critical moment.
She was always so reliable.
This was the first time Catherine had seen Athena.
While she was stunned, Catherine was sensitive to the change in the atmosphere in the entire living room. Athena's aura was overwhelming.
Catherine stood up and said with a kind smile. "Athena, you're back. You're indeed as beautiful and elegant as on television. Even I'm attractive by you..."
Athena stood more than 3 feet away from her and smiled. "Thank you for your compliment, Catherine.
"You're welcome to come to our house as a guest, but you can't stay here. If it's too late and it's not convenient for you to go back to the hotel, we have a villa in this neighborhood. It's not far from here. You can stay there."
Athena's words were very blunt and made the Donovan family's people very comfortable.
The corners of Catherine's mouth twitched slightly. She suppressed her displeasure and asked gently, "Athena, can you tell me why I can't live here since we're all family?"
"Because I don't trust you. I can't treat you as a relative or friend," Athena said very politely. "It's eleven o'clock in the evening now. We need to rest. You should go back too," said Athena.
"Athena, this is the first time we've met. It's understanding that you don't know me," Catherine said. "That's why we need to interact more and get to know each other, right?
"I promise, if you know what kind of person I am, you will trust me..."
"No, I know what kind of person you are," Athena said without caring about Catherine's feelings. She said politely and gently, "It's because I know you that I don't trust you. That's why I can't let you stay here."
Catherine had never heard such words from the Donovan family.
Moreover, Athena was a junior.
Catherine couldn't bear it anymore and said, her tone tinged with anger, "Athena, this is the first time we've met. Isn't it too soon for you to say you know me?
"Besides, you're saying you don't trust me. Why?"
Athena smiled at Catherine in silence.
At this time, the Donovan family felt something wrong.
Athena's attitude towards Catherine was very strange and hostile.
She seemed to hate Catherine.
Even if she didn't like and didn't welcome Catherine, the Donovan family thought she didn't need to say that.
It was known Athena was very cultured. She kept her composure even when facing scumbags. She rarely acted like this.
This kind of Athena made them a little afraid.
They didn't dare to say a word.
Catherine was shocked by the smile on Athena's emotionless face. She said, "Athena, did I offend you in any way? You seem to hate me?"
Athena smiled. "You did do something to offend me. How about this? Let's talk in the study."
With that, Athena turned around and walked upstairs.
Catherine pursed her lips slightly. A trace of anger flashed across her eyes as she calmly followed.
The Donovan family's people looked at each other in awe.
They had an uneasy feeling that a storm was coming.
