Maura had been staring at Athena, fearing she would hook up with the guests at the banquet.
Seeing Athena leave the hall suddenly and quietly, Maura became wary and hurriedly followed.
Overseeing Athena momentarily, Maura vaguely heard her talking about where something was at home.
Then she was instantly convinced that Athena was talking to her pet boy.
"Ms. Stella, why are you hiding here?" Maura walked out and asked.
Athena looked at her and then gently said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I have something to deal with. You should take the medicine."
Logan responded and hung up the phone reluctantly.
Athena put her phone back in her handbag and stood up.
She was half a head taller than Maura. And when she stood up, she seemed more imposing than Maura.
Maura was very displeased about this.
And she put on a fake smile. "You spoke so softly. Tell me you're not talking to that little boy you're rumored to be keeping, are you?"
Athena looked at Maura and asked, "Miss Maura Campbell, before you provoke me, can you tell me whether there is any grudge between you and me?"
Maura would not tell Athena, of course, that her project was messed up because of Athena.
"Ms. Stella, I don't understand what you mean. I've always been told to seek and tell the truth. You can just say no if you're not talking to your boy." Maura crossed her arms, saying sarcastically.
Athena took two steps forward.
And her aura was compelling.
Maura panicked instantly.
And she resisted not stepping back.
Athena stood in front of her. "Maura, do you know what your family is living on now?"
Maura was taken aback.
"You threaten me? Do you know the relationship between Rose and my grandparents? She won't let you do anything wrong to the Campbell family!" Maura replied.
"Well. So you do know your current good life is given by the Stella family." Athena smiled mockingly and said, "But you are still so reckless even if you know it. You are indeed stupid."
