Athena immediately sat up straight.

Is that my daughter?

The video ended abruptly, and Athena hadn’t seen the girl’s face at all. She quickly texted Lewis, “I want to see her!”

Lewis didn’t reply. It seemed he was planning to keep her hanging.

Athena called him. This time, he answered, “Athena, I’ve never seen you so flustered.”

Athena gripped her phone, realizing she was the one losing her cool first.

In situations like this, whoever panicked first always lost the upper hand.

But the moment she saw her daughter, nothing else mattered.

Lewis gave a little laugh. “Looks like you really do care about our daughter. I thought you’d forgotten about her, after running off with Zaden and treating his daughter as your own.”

“Cut to the chase. When can I see her?”

Lewis thought for a moment and said, “There’s a business event in Vlephia in two days. Come with me and announce that we’re back together in front of everyone. After you’ve done that, I’ll let you see her. How’s that sound?”

Athena knew Lewis would never make it easy for her to see her daughter.

If she wanted to see her daughter and take her back, it wasn’t going to happen all at once. She would have to be patient and get Lewis to lower his guard, step by step.

“Zaden will be there, right? I bet that’s the real reason for this. You just want to humiliate him,” Athena said.

“Athena, you’re pretty sharp. Yeah, Zaden will be there. If you can suspect me, why can’t I suspect you?

“Who’s to say you’re not just pretending to break up with Zaden to trick me, so you can steal your daughter away?”

Athena was left speechless.

It wasn’t exactly a fake breakup, but it was true that she wanted to get her daughter back from Lewis.

She forced herself to calm down and said, “I’m not as low as you think. I’d never do something

like that.

“I can agree to your terms, but after the event, I want to see my daughter right away. If you don’t keep your word, I won’t keep mine.”

Lewis laughed with satisfaction. “It’s a deal. I’ll pick you up then.”

After hanging up, Athena realized her palms were sweating.

She no longer had any romantic feelings for Lewis, and she just wanted her daughter back. She took a deep breath and reminded herself to stay calm.

Staying calm was the only way to change the situation.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, Lewis called Athena. “My assistant will come pick you up. Go get your hair and makeup done.”

Athena figured the event must be really formal.

She guessed it was the sort of event that required an evening gown. For Lewis, tonight was meant to be a big night. So of course, he wanted her to show up looking perfect.

Athena just agreed without saying much.

Soon, Lewis’s assistant, Martin Lowell, came to pick her up.

Athena knew Martin well-he’d worked for Lewis for years and always delivered his messages.

But ever since she and Lewis split, Athena had rarely seen Martin.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Belmont.” Martin greeted her with a friendly smile. “Mr. Belmont asked me to pick you up to get your hair and makeup done.”

Athena didn’t want to admit she was no longer Lewis’s wife, but there was no point explaining it to Martin. He was just an assistant.

Soon, they arrived at the studio.

Lewis had clearly arranged everything. As soon as they walked in, the staff greeted them warmly.
