Athena stood above him in a blue dress, her face cold and expressionless as she looked down at him.
Her frosty eyes, devoid of any warmth, landed on Matthew, making his scalp crawl.
For a moment, Matthew wondered, ‘Did Athena deliberately lie in wait for me at the door? ‘
But when Matthew saw the package in Trina’s hands, his posture immediately straightened, confidence surging back.
Seeing her all dressed up and carrying that package out so early in the morning, Matthew wondered, ‘What is she up to p>
Just as Athena was about to walk past him, Matthew barked, “Wait p>
Athena paid him no mind, not even sparing him a glance.
Matthew’s anger flared. He growled, his voice harsher. “I said stop p>
With a single swift stride, he lunged forward, blocking Athena’s path and made a grab for the package in Trina’s hands.
The package contained Athena’s efforts from the entire night. If Matthew snatched it away, all her efforts would be in vain.
Trina clung desperately to the package, refusing to let go. This only strengthened Matthew’s conviction that it must contain something valuable.
Seeing Trina wouldn’t let go, Matthew slapped her across the face. “Let go!” he snarled.
Athena’s expression turned icy. She suddenly kicked Matthew in the back of the knee, and his leg gave out, he dropped to his knees, forced to kneel.
Seizing the moment, Athena snatched back the package and shielded Trina behind her.
Without missing a beat, she landed a stinging slap across Matthew’s face in return.
Matthew sobered up a bit and slowly looked up, meeting Athena’s mocking gaze. Athena sneered, “What an impressive morning show, Mr. Monson. You go ahead and keep practicing, we won’t be sticking around to watch p>
Matthew’s face flushed crimson with rage.
Matthew tried to get up, but found his body so weak that he couldn’t muster the slightest bit of strength.
Matthew could do nothing but watch helplessly as Athena led Trina away, powerless to stop them.
Matthew tried to stand up, but realized he couldn’t feel his legs at all.
A flicker of panic flashed in his eyes, but overwhelming him was sheer humiliation.
He thought, ‘If someone caught me kneeling here, how could I ever show my face again?
‘T’d better get the hell out of here!

Not far away, Athena watched as Matthew crawled forward on all fours like a wounded animal. A derisive laugh escaped her lips.
Trina couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes shining with admiration as she looked at her. “Miss, you’re amazing p>

Trina thought to herself, ‘ I always knew Miss Monson was skilled in medicine, but I never imagined she could take down a man so easily.
Athena looked at Trina’s slightly red and swollen cheek, took out some ointment, and gently applied it to her face. She said. “The kneecap is one of the most vulnerable parts of the body. Next time you’re in danger, aim for their kneecap, especially if they’re much stronger than you. Kick and run, got it? ”
“Got it, Miss! ” Trina nodded vigorously.
Trina thought to herself, ‘Miss Monson is so wonderful, not only did she avenge me, but she even taught me self–defense techniques.
But little did she know, these were all hard–earned skills Athena had acquired by enduring countless beatings.
Athena veiled the pain in her gaze, determined never to revisit those dark memories.
At the Mcgee family.
“Get out! All of you, “A man’s hoarse shout came from inside the room, but his voice was alarmingly weak, broken by violent coughing.
A group of doctors, carrying their medical kits, stumbled out of the room in panic. They dropped to their knees at the feet of Gale, pleading desperately, “Your Highness, please.spare us! We are truly helpless, His Lordship refuses to cooperate and even threw us out p>
Gale looked utterly haggard, her eyes red and swollen from crying as she gazed toward the room, her face etched with profound sorrow.
