She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 

Athena smiled and replied. “Would you like to join me at the ceremony tomorrow?” 

The Donovan family remained silent. 

If they really went, they might be walking into another potential trap. 

On the afternoon of June 22nd, the commercial district where Donovan’s Restaurant was located was even livelier than during Christmas. A brand new red carpet had been laid from the parking lot to the alley by the Graham Group Culinary’s office building. Security guards stood on either side, guiding guests to enter, while pedestrians could walk under the covered walkways. 

Every street and alley in the commercial district was adorned with colorful lamps and event banners. All the Graham Group’s restaurants offered a 50% discount today, which, according to insiders, was close to the cost price. 

All these made this relatively small commercial area extremely crowded and filled with people. The scene was grand and not inferior to any movie exhibition where celebrities gathered 

In fact, the event did feature popular celebrities and talented artists, who would also perform during the celebration. 

Amidst the crowd, whispers circulated about Neil. His actions made it clear that he was determined to push the Donovan family out of the business circle. 

The Donovan family held a significant position, but the Graham Group’s influence and power were far superior and unattainable. The Donovan family could not compete with the Graham Group. 

If the Donovan family wanted to continue doing big business, it would probably depend on how much the Graham family could help. 

Amidst the discussions, distinguished guests arrived at the parking lot one after another, just like celebrities entering a venue. They greeted each other and walked casually across the red carpet 

Countless media personnel, pedestrians, and tourists lined both sides of the red carpet, frantically taking photos and recording videos, just like enthusiastic fans snapping pictures of celebrities. 

Speaking of which, under normal circumstances, one could see celebrities with money, and their public appearances were quite frequent. However, these big shots and industry leaders from various fields were not so easily accessible, even with 

money 

It was no wonder that their arrival caused such a huge commotion. 

Multiple online video platforms also broadcast the event. 

Whether online or offline, the host, audience, and netizens were all listing the big shots who had arrived. “Mr. Miles is here, Mr. Lawrence is here, Mr. Frowick is here, Mrs. Ziegler is here… 

“Mr. Graham is here too, but he didn’t enter the venue. He’s waiting in the parking lot, saying he’s waiting for his girlfriend.” 

“But Athena didn’t receive an invitation. He wouldn’t insist on bringing his girlfriend into the venue in front of so many important guests, would he?” 

The ceremony will officially begin at 6 PM and there are only five minutes left. All the other guests or their representatives have arrived, but the people from Vission Group still haven’t shown up. It seems they won’t be coming…” 

“As expected of Vission Group. We were hoping to see the big boss behind Vission Group, but it looks like that’s not going to happen… 

At that moment, there was a commotion in the parking lot 

“A few more luxury cars have arrived in the parking lot. Could it be the people from Vission Group?

“Ah, these cars are parked in the spots reserved for Vission Group’s senior executives. It really is the people from Vission Group” 

“Harry got out of the car. He’s dressed like a celebrity 

“Penny, Nickle, and the others got out of the car. 

“I compared the guest list, and all the higher–ups from Vission Group have arrived, but there are still two SUVs with no one getting out. I wonder who the people in those cars could be?” 

Under the spotlight, amidst countless cameras, the door of one of the SUVs opened. Several men and women of different ages, all with striking appearances, got out of the car and looked around calmly.
