Lewis and Nina had both hit rock bottom. The one suffering the most, though, was Dion. As their child, even with his occasional temper, he was still the most innocent one in this mess. He had no idea where he would be sent next. Athena did not dwell on it for long. Dion might not be her child, but he was still a Belmont. Bridget would definitely make proper arrangements for him. Meanwhile, Teri and Zaden were in the kitchen, the father-daughter duo busying themselves with dinner prep. Athena had originally planned for the three of them to celebrate together, with her doing the cooking, so she had not asked Daisy to come help. But somehow, those two had taken over the kitchen, leaving her no choice but to hand things over completely. Maybe it was time to learn to let go a little and to stop trying to carry everything alone. It was the only way not to exhaust herself. Feeling a little bored while waiting, Athena picked up her phone. As soon as she opened her social app, her notifications nearly crashed the app. Tons of messages flooded in—some congratulating her, others apologizing for doubting her before. She skimmed a few, then exited the app. Now was not the time to respond. Sometimes, it was better to let things cool down on their own. Just as she was scrolling through her phone, the doorbell suddenly rang. Athena frowned, wondering who could possibly be visiting. The bell rang a few more times before she finally stood up and walked toward the door.When she opened it, she froze in surprise—standing outside was Harriet. It had been ages since Athena last saw her, so this unexpected visit caught her off guard. She quickly opened the door wider. "Harriet, what a surprise! Come on in." "Oh, I heard about your big success in that surgery, so I came to celebrate with you! I checked a few places before I found you here!" Harriet said cheerfully. Athena smiled. "Come in, have a seat." Harriet stepped inside, glancing around the quiet house. Not seeing Zaden or Teri, she asked curiously, "You're alone? Where are Zaden and Teri?" "They're in the kitchen cooking," Athena replied with a small laugh. Harriet's jaw nearly dropped. "Zaden ... cooking? Are you serious?" She peeked toward the kitchen and saw the two of them working together. That confirmed it—Athena was not joking. Harriet returned to the couch, laughing. "Wow, I never thought I'd see Zaden Storm cooking. I can't wait to taste his food tonight!" Athena could not help but chuckle too. It was surprising even to her that Zaden could handle a stove. The two women chatted for a while. Harriet leaned in with a mischievous smile. "Athena, do you know Preston Rice? Maya's older brother? He used to handle the Rices' overseas business, but he came back a few days ago." Athena nodded slightly. "Yeah, I've heard." When it came to the Rices, no one knew more than Athena. However, she could not exactly explain that to Harriet, so she just played along. "Guess what I found out!" Harriet said excitedly.Athena looked at her curiously. Harriet cleared her throat and lowered her voice, leaning close. "That whole incident—you know, the one where you got ambushed abroad? Preston was the one who helped you. And that video that went viral? He's the one who released it." Athena's eyes widened. That video had helped her immensely, but she had never figured out who leaked it. She had not expected it to be Preston. "How do you know that?" Athena asked, a hint of doubt in her tone. "Well," Harriet grinned, "I've been hanging around Kit lately, right? So I overhear things. Kit's mom mentioned it over the phone—every word of it! "And get this, Maya lost it when she found out. She was furious! Apparently, she even had her mom try to talk to Preston about it, but when that didn't work, she turned her attention to Kit." Harriet tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Preston's the kind of rich, good-looking guy who doesn't usually meddle in other people's business. But helping you, not once, but twice? Come on, Athena, don't you think he might be falling for you?"
