Chapter 673 Athena Retorts Back
The fabric was of the highest quality, and the craftsmanship was impeccable. With that in mind, she knew better than to offend the two women standing before her.
"Then..." Hera began, only to be abruptly cut off by a familiar, condescending voice from behind her and Athena.
"Oh! Look who we have here. Isn’t this the woman who claimed she had so much money that she could casually spend hundreds of thousands on a meal to treat everyone? Or was that just for show in front of Xavier? And now, she can’t even afford a membership at this establishment..."
The sharp clink of high heels echoed against the cold tile floor as a girl in a mini-skirt dress sauntered in from who-knows-where, her hips swaying with deliberate confidence.
"Emily, y-you shouldn’t say things like that in public. It’ll only embarrass them, and you know how quickly influential people spread gossip," a voice spoke from behind Emily.
Athena and Hera didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was. Though she sounded as if she was reprimanding Emily, her words were laced with subtle malice—implying that if the right people heard this, Hera and Athena would become a laughingstock, exposed as frauds who pretended to be well-off but couldn’t even afford a membership card.
Hera remained composed as she calmly observed the two women, fully aware that they hadn’t approached with good intentions.
It was likely that they were still holding a grudge over the incident at the Golden Dragon Pavilion and saw this as an opportunity to get back at her.
She almost forgot how unsurprising it was to run into them here—after all, this establishment catered to the rich and powerful. Many celebrities would go to great lengths to secure a membership just to mingle with wealthy heirs, influential investors, or high-ranking figures.
Seeing Emily here wasn’t unexpected, especially since this place was close to the studio where they were scheduled to meet later.
"Hahaha, so what? It’s their fault for being inadequate. So what if she can drive like an Amazonian? Racing is for men, yet she keeps putting on airs just to get their attention. Isn’t that why she even tried to steal yours?" Emily sneered, her voice dripping with disdain.
