Chapter 474
Everyone thought they had misheard
Then, a wave of discussion broke out.
“What did I just hear? The big boss of Vission Group? Athena is the big boss of Vission Group?”
“That’s impossible! Vission Group has existed for so many years and Athena is so young! If she really is the big boss behind. Vission Group, wouldn’t that mean she took over the company when she was just a child?”
“There must be some mistake! How could Athena Donovan be the majority shareholder and big boss of Vission Group? That invitation must have been sent to her by the real owner?”
At this moment, just 660 feet from the parking lot, Neil, the patriarch of the Graham family, had received news that Vission Group’s big boss, Athena, had arrived. He subtly furrowed his brow and quietly gave a few instructions to his assistant.
The assistant immediately relayed Neil’s message through an earpiece to the staff near the parking lot.
After receiving the instructions, the greeter respectfully asked Athena Donovan, “Excuse me, Miss Donovan, is this invitation yours?
Athena smiled. “Of course, I’m the only major shareholder of Vission Group”
Neil and the others were not present at the scene, so they naturally didn’t see Harry, Penny, and others respectfully lining up on both sides of Athena’s car door after getting out. After Athena got out of the car, Harry, Penny, and the others also stood respectfully behind her, clearly indicating that they were her subordinates.
Just by looking at this scene, one could confirm that Athena’s identity in the Vission Group was not simple.
The greeter’s attitude became even more respectful. “Welcome. Miss Donovan. This way, please….
At this time, Matthew also strode forward and held her hand. He didn’t seem too surprised as he said, “Athena, you’re here Let’s go over together.”
Athena had never told him that she was the big boss behind Vision Group, but he had considered the possibility. So, instead of shock, his heart swelled with pride.
Athena smiled. “Alright.”
She turned to look at her family. “Mom, Dad, all, let’s go.”
With her status and identity, she was definitely qualified to bring a few people to this ceremony.
The Donovan family had been staring at her in stunned silence since earlier, seemingly forgetting to speak.
Hearing Athena call out to them, they snapped back to reality. After exchanging glances, they all shared a look, seeming to realize that she was indeed their family, before smiling and following her lead.
Meanwhile, upon confirming that Athena was indeed the big boss of Vission Group, Neil was shocked, his expression a mix of surprise and contemplation.
At the same time, the attending elites and guests broke into murmurs, their faces and words brimming with shock and admiration.
Only the heirs and representatives of the four prominent families of Kitmore City like the Kennedy, Harper, Murray, and Randolph families, standing in the corner, couldn’t hide their overwhelming anger, jealousy, and resentment, after the initial shock

Chapter 471
Athena walked across the red carpet with a smile, allowing the passersby on both sides to take photos
When they were about 30 feet away from the office building ceremony site, Neil suddenly waved his hand and said to the senior members and core elites of the Graham family beside him. “This is the first public appearance of the big boss of Vission Group. It is our honor. Let’s go and greet her.”
The elders and core elites of the Graham family were stunned.
They wondered if Neil was serious or just joking.
He even looked down on Athena before, but now he quickly changed his attitude.
He was even personally going to welcome her.
All these years, even when other influential figures arrived, they had never seen Neil personally go to greet them.
Though they were frustrated, they obediently followed behind Neil
From over 70 feet away, Neil greeted warmly and politely, “Welcome, Mrs. Donovan…”
Although Athena had not been on good terms with the Graham family, seeing Neil, at his age, walking over with a cane to personally greet her, she quickly stepped forward. She shook his hand respectfully and said, “Hello, Mr. Graham. I wish you great prosperity and success in your business.”
“Thank you for your kind words, Mrs. Donovan,” Neil said, shaking her hand with a genuine smile that didn’t seem forced at all “We’re family by marriage, and our businesses have many connections. I look forward to collaborating more in the future and growing our wealth together!”
He then turned to Matthew, adding, “As for you, Matthew, tonight, you’re in charge of hosting Mrs. Donovan and her family. Make sure they’re well taken care of.”
Athena, Matthew, the Donovan family, and the Graham family all stood in silence, stunned.
They were wondering if Neil was speaking from the heart, truly accepting Athena and the Donovan family.
They found it hard to believe. This sudden reversal was too fast to believe.
However, Neil did not seem to be forcing himself at all.
While everyone was left speechless, Neil had already released Athena’s hand and smiled, “Mr. Donovan, please, this way…”
His assistant quickly had additional chairs brought in and arranged for the Donovan family and senior members of Vision Group to sit in the second row. Athena and Matthew were temporarily seated on Neil’s right side, sharing the front row with Ethan and the others.
Next, the celebration began.
Fireworks went off at the scene, followed by speeches from the host, the leaders of Kitmore City, and then from Neil.
Next came the performances, with several talented and popular singers, celebrities, and artists taking the stage, one after another, delivering outstanding performances that continuously stirred up the excitement in the crowd.
Throughout the event, Neil kept conversing with Athena Donovan, and the two seemed to be enjoying a lively and engaging
conversation
Neil even poured coffee for Athena and offered her a fruit platter, surprising all the guests present
Lucas, seated in a corner, watched Athena with a burning gaze. The emotions of love, hatred, and jealousy that simmered within him seemed to consume him, almost threatening to tear him apart
