Take that money and pay your sister's first treatment installment."Athena took the envelope while pulling up the blanket. The 22-year-old woman lowered her head, unable to meet Glenn's gaze every time she made such a big mistake.Pain.For almost two months, Athena had been Glenn's lust slave. She did it out of necessity to pay for her sister Aellea's brain cancer treatment. Athena Willow wasn't a poor girl; she was the first daughter of a famous business family in Los Angeles. Still, her life had been continuously pressured since her stepmother and step-sisters, Sarah and Giselle Willow, entered the scene.These two women dominated the house, influencing Ferdinand Gibson Willow—her father—to neglect Athena, seen as a talentless par

“Alright, everything is back to normal as before. Congratulations, Miss Athena, you have recovered remarkably well,” said Doctor Savana, a bone specialist who had been treating Athena for several years.The woman with chocolate-colored hair down her back smiled with relief, feeling immense gratitude in her heart. She glanced towards the door, where a man in a black shirt, who had faithfully accompanied her, smiled happily while giving her a thumbs-up.“You’re amazing, Miss Athena,” praised Sargas Gilgareth, aged 28, two years older than Athena. He was her nephew and also the CEO of Havallary, Inc, a company managed by Athena’s adoptive parents.“What do you think, Sargas? Do I look ready to appear in public?” Athena asked, her smile perfect.The man in front of her tidied a few strands of hair that fell to the side of Athena's face, tucking them behind her ear. “You look stunning, Miss. Everyone should see you. The Gilgareth family’s daughter is healthy and ready to return.”Athena wa

Once again, the flashlights from the visitors' cameras at the jewelry gallery, which was about to launch in a few days, illuminated Athena as she looked around the gallery. Occasionally, she smiled warmly at them.“The first gallery in the luxury jewelry business hasn't officially launched yet, but people are already excited to be the first buyers of the million-dollar diamond necklaces in that showcase,” Ruby said, proudly watching the line of women filling out pre-order forms near the cashier's counter.“The Cardelion company management intends to collaborate with us,” Ruby said.Athena furrowed her brow slightly. “Collaboration?”“Yes, they want to do business together with us.”Athena shook her head. “I disagree,” she firmly rejected. “I won't start a business with anyone. I will acquire them, so they will be under my control.”Ruby was surprised. “Well, well, well... are you my biological daughter? Ah, I see my husband in you. I thought you would only focus on the tobacco business

News about Giselle throwing a tantrum in the office quickly went viral and became widely discussed. A video of her yelling, pulling employees' hair, and engaging in physical violence spread widely. The reputation of the Willowspot company took a big hit, its stocks plummeted, and it led to significant losses in several ongoing projects.“Giselle, do you realize what you’ve done, huh?!” Ferdinand asked, his voice tense and angry. “You’ve tarnished our name and caused chaos. We’re facing massive losses, and some investors have pulled their partnerships. That means we’re about to go bankrupt!”Giselle sobbed uncontrollably, her head hanging low, not daring to look at her stepfather.“Do you have any solution to fix this? No, right? Your husband's company is on the brink, and you should understand how important it is to maintain the reputation.”“Dad, I did that out of impulse.

Sargas was instantly startled by Athena's words. “You’re joking, right? You’re not seriously considering marrying Glenn, are you?” His face showed disappointment, prompting Serena to laugh at him.“Hey, why are you so scared, Sargas? Have you forgotten what I planned before?” Athena tried to remind him, but it seemed Sargas had truly forgotten.Athena refreshed Sargas's memory about the plan she had shared a few days ago. “You must not pay attention when I speak. I’ve already told you that I’ll flirt with Glenn again.”Sargas realized how often he overlooked things because talking to Athena always drew his focus to her beauty.“I’ll seduce him, and when he starts hoping again, I’ll abandon him. At that moment, I’ll need your help to ensure Glenn is completely defeated,” Athena explained.Sargas sighed and pulled Athena into his embrace. “I almost went mad thinking you might forgive and marry Glenn, Athena.”“That will never happen, Sargas.
