Given Zaden’s status, there was no way Athena would mind him making her breakfast. What surprised her most was that he actually knew how to cook. That was quite unexpected.

Teri looked at Athena and smiled sweetly. “Good morning, Athena!”

“Good morning, Teri.”

Athena was about to take a sip of her milk when Teri suddenly blurted out, “Did you sleep with my dad last night?”

“Cough, cough!”

Sweetheart, you can’t just blurt that out!

Athena wiped her mouth. Her face flushed. “We slept on the sofa. I mean, we were just sitting and fell asleep.”

The more she explained, the worse it sounded, like she was trying too hard to cover something

Zaden smiled when he heard Athena.

Athena glared at him, signaling him to hurry and explain.

Zaden finally stopped smiling and said, “Yes, Athena and I fell asleep sitting in the living room.”

Alright, that made it even worse.

It sounded like they were confirming what Teri thought. Athena finally gave up on explaining.

After breakfast, Athena started to pack her things. When Teri realized she was moving out, her face instantly dropped. She thought that Athena was abandoning her.

Just last night, Athena had even said that if she married her daddy, she could become her mom!

Seeing Teri’s gloomy expression, Athena quickly comforted her. “Teri, I’m only moving out for now. If you miss me, you can ask Daddy to bring you to my place, okay?”

Teri was instantly cheered up when she heard that.

Could it be something happened on Lewis’s side?

She quickly answered. “Harriet, what’s wrong? Did something change with Lewis?”

Both Zaden and Teri looked up at her the moment they heard that name.

On the other end, Harriet’s voice exploded in frustration.

“Ugh! Athena, finally you pick up! Do you know what those two shameless people, Nina and Lewis, just did? They’re smearing you online! Right now the whole internet is saying you were the homewrecker between them. The things they’re calling you are awful! I swear, it’s making me furious.”

Athena froze, needing a moment to digest her words.

Then, she actually let out a short laugh. The two of them really were deep in love, weren’t they? This had to be their way of covering up what Nina did yesterday, spinning the story so she could climb higher.

“Now reporters are swarming like flies. They even know where you are. Don’t go out these days. If you need anything, tell me and I’ll send it over.

We only have a week left, so we need to hold steady!”

Athena sighed deeply. “Okay, I understand.”

After hanging up, she couldn’t help but feel bitter.

She had known Lewis had no bottom line, but she hadn’t thought he would be this shameless.

Zaden asked, “What happened?”

Athena said helplessly, “Harriet just told me that Lewis is spreading lies about me online. A lot of reporters are looking for me, so I might have to stay here for a while.”
