Chapter 476
Amidst the bitterness of the once prominent families of Kitmore City, the ceremony finally ended as the sky darkened.
The commercial district was brightly lit and festive, with bustling crowds and lively scenes. The banquet began, and all the guests went to the nearby restaurant,
An extra seat was added at the head table for Athena, placed next to Neil.
Everyone looked at the seat with admiration, without any jealousy or dissatisfaction.
After all, it was Vission Group.
Everyone knew what kind of enterprise Vission Group was.
If Graham Group was like a huge mountain range, vast and hard to see the edges, then Vission Group was like a tall peak that touched the moon, covered in mist. It was hard to see, and no matter how high one climbed, they couldn’t see the top showing how deep and high the company was,
Athena was qualified to sit at the main table.
What was more striking was that in Neil’s brief speech before the banquet, he didn’t mention the role or significance of the Culinary Group. He simply said, “Before we start, I have an announcement”
Everyone listened attentively.
Neil looked at Athena and said with a smile, “As everyone knows my beloved grandson Matthew successfully proposed to Athena. It won’t be long before they officially get married”
Everyone was stunned.
He already started calling Athena by just her name so affectionately
Even the Graham family had never received such treatment
“As her future grandfather–in–law, I can’t neglect Athena.” Neil raised his voice. “So I announce that this Culinary Group. along with the recent purchases and contracts of land and companies in Kitmore City and West End, will be given as a bridal gift to the Donovan family.”
The crowd was in an uproar,
like boiling water.
Even Matthew and Athena were stunned in surprise.
The Donovan family almost jumped out of their seats in shock. They wondered if Neil was losing his mind or having a health issue. After all, he’s over ninety years old, and traveling so far could easily cause a relapse.
It wasn’t just the Donovan family, many people thought the same
Matthew looked at Neil with suspicion and asked, “Grandipa, are you awake right now? Do you really know what you’re saying?”
Everyone thought to themselves that Matthew certainly lived up to his reputation. Only he dared to ask such a question.
“Of course, I’m awake and know exactly what I’m saying.” Neil glared at him. “What? Do you think Athena isn’t worthy of these bridal gifts?”
“Of course she is, Matthew smiled. “I thank you in advance, Grandpa.”

He looked at Athena
Athena smiled slightly and politely said to Neil, Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Graham”
“It’s okay. We’re all family, no need to say that, Neil smiled at her then turned to his assistant. “Prepare the documents to transfer all the mentioned companies and land to the Donovan Lamily. I’ll sign them tonight. Anyone who has objections can leave the Graham family.”
Everyone was stunned.
Neil’s sudden decisions were like a whirlwind, leaving everyone bewildered.
But one thing was clear: the Donovan family had become the biggest winners again. They were already flying high, and now they were soaring like a rocket.
Everyone envied them, but it was beyond their reach.
Neil’s actions were also reported by the media, causing a sensation online.
Joy, who was also following the ceremony, shook her head sadly I didn’t expect Athena to have such a powerful background. The Graham family also has completely accepted her. This makes things really difficult. Even I no longer have the confidence to deal with her…”
She stood
- up. and made herself a cup of coffee, then with one arm crossed over her chest and the other holding the coffee. she slowly drank it while pacing around the room.
She walked back and forth, pacing for a long time. She even turned off her phone so that no one would disturb her.
If someone close to her saw her actions, they would understand that she was deep in thought.
There weren’t many people or things that could make her think for so long.
Until midnight, her computer received a notification. [The Mystery of the Missing Young Genius” has been updated.]
She immediately turned on her computer and, after just a glance, her face darkened, and a fierce look appeared in her eyes. Lockwood’s newly updated chapter was titled “Meeting Lara Stevens.”
The content described Lockwood flying to Uruterin and meeting a girl in a wealthy area of Eldoria. He directly told her, “I know you are Lara Stevens, and I know how you disappeared.”
Of course,
the girl denied Lockwood’s claim and said that she did not know what Lockwood was talking about. Lockwood did not continue this topic. Instead, he told her calmly, “You were not kidnapped. You left on your own.”
Then, Lockwood explained the cause and effect of the girl’s disappearance. “A few days before Christmas, you called your friend, only to unexpectedly receive news that your close friend had suddenly died in a car accident. Your friend’s mother was deeply grieving and asked if you could come and stay with her, or even be her daughter”
He went on, “You were bored with your previously calm and monotonous life. In contrast, your friend’s mother lived an exciting and challenging life abroad, which tempted you. Even though you were only 8 years old at the time, you were very intelligent, had read many books, and loved to think. You quickly devised a meticulous plan to leave. On Christmas Day…”
Suddenly, Joy picked up the coffee cup from the table and smashed it on the ground in anger, her eyes full of fury.
For the first time in her life, she lost control and roared, “Athena what exactly do you want? I clearly warned you not to do anything dangerous! Do you want to drag everyone down with you? Do you think that just because you’re the big boss of Vission Group and have the Graham Group backing you, I can’t do anything to you?”

But after a few outbursts, she calmed down.
She then sat in front of her computer and quickly typed on the keyboard, hacking into Cherry Literature Network and corrupting the second part of “Lockwood’s Detective Diary” again.
Next, she called Athena and calmly said, “I want to talk to you, right now. If you refuse, I will act according to my own plans
Athena had been waiting for her call. “Who are you to talk to me
Joy was silent for a few seconds before replying. “Zilvia Donovan
