44 Beggars IV Athena pretended to be in thought , at Alfonsos request , whereas she was brimming with satisfaction at her plans coming together beautifully .
Taking her eyes away from a pleading Alfonso , who was now kneeling in front of her desk , she glanced at Fiona .
Fiona was finding it hard to maintain her sorrowful mask .
When her father had suddenly crawled to meet Athena , she had been numb for a second ; only reverting to reality , when her father made his plea again .
Athena smirked in victory , baiting the latter .
But Fiona refused to fall into the trap this time around .
To help her cause , she hurried to her fathers side , and prostrated before Athena .
Athena chuckled softly .
Fiona was learning quickly .
Do you have your company documents with you ? Or an article detailing the state of your company ? She finally spoke , needing to be free of their pestering presence .
Alfonso nodded fast , even though he wondered the reason for her interest .
Shouldnt she be calling her backers , maybe the man , whom she was leeching money from ? The man , who was behind the attack on Ewans company ? With his right hand , however , he gestured to Fiona to get the black laptop bag he had come with to the hospital ; the black b they had abadoned at the doorpost .
Aforetime , he had brought the documents to beg for Ewans favor , but Ewan had sidelined him ! His son in law hadnt even cared to ask him how his company thriving , nor had he agreed to speak with Athena .
The egocentric brat ! If his sickness didnt move the latter , would it move Athena then ? Impossible ! The girl was the worst ! Meanwhile , Fiona got up from her prostrating position , walked quickly to the door , and retrieved the bag .
When she returned and handed the bag to her father , she remained standing , suddenly tired of groveling at Athenas feet .
At her fathers glare however , she held back a tired sigh and sat on the floor .
Thats all she would do ! She wouldnt hurt herself again to please Athena , when she knew the latter wont help them .
While Alfonso handed the documents to Athena , he couldnt help but voice his opinions after she opened the brown envelope and brought out the important papers .
But what are you doing , Doctor ? 44 Doggars IV He didnt believe Athena understood business , Athenas gaze on him just then , pronounced him a fool .
She looked at him like he was crazy .
Alfonso , are you mentally okay ? Alfonso nodded meekly , while his fists clenched tightly .
Forgive me , Doctor .
Im just curious .
Do you intend to go through them ? Athena frowned .
Of course , How else will I know how to help wi the financial counselor to Herbert Whitman ? Alfonso paled .
Ewan tell you that Im He looked at his daughter for an explanation , but she had the same look on her face .
Hadnt she known ? And why didnt Ewan mention this important piece of information ? At least if the latter had done so , he wouldnt have made a fool of himself now ! No , he didnt tell me .
I apologize for the error in judgment .
Athena ignored him and continued swiping the pages of the thick document .
She pretended to go through it , while mentally going through her already laid plans .
She used up ten minutes for the document , during which Alfonso , tired of kneeling , sat on the floor like his daughter .
When Athena look had fallen ! up from the document , she thought they looked like dogs .
How the mighty So , what do you think ? Alfonso asked , even as he felt an evil foreboding , seeing the grave look on Athenas face .
Well , the statistics arent great .
As a matter of fact , it is totally poor .
Flona gritted her teeth .
What else could the statistics be ? Who was the stupid person causing this ? Im aware of that .
What could be done to salvage this situation ? Alfonso prodded , barely hanging onto his patience .
Athena shook her head .
Nothing really .
The only option is that you sell your company .
I think Ewan will pay a lot for it … Alfonso cussed out loud , his facade finally breaking .
What the hell , Athena ! Who do you are ? Fiona palmed her face .
Her fathers love for his company was next to none .
you think Sometimes , she believed that he even cherished the company more than he valued her , or even her mother .
She watched him now as he stood up energetically from the floor , and started pacing from one end of the office to the other .
Bears V She turned to Athena .
The latter had a large smile on her face .
Fiona had a feeling that they had just walked into her trap , especially as Athena clapped her hands then , bringing her father to a halt .
Finally , Alfonso , your facade is off .
Alfonso gritted his teeth in anger .
His daughter had been right again .
Athena was a better game .
player .
Theres nothing as a facade , Doctor Athena .
My company is like my child , more important to me than my health .
Yet , you told me to give it up .
What other reaction did you expect from an old man ? Alfonso tried to salvage the situation wisely .
Athena laughed .
Whatever that will float your boat , Alfonso .
But my analysis is correct .

Its better you hurry though .
Your company will soon go under , and become worthless .
Its better you sell out now .
Alfonso exhaled harshly .
You are right , Athena .
Very right .
But I came to you to see if you can talk to your … backer ? Wasnt that what you did about Ewans situation ? Athena pretended to be surprised , before breaking into a boisterous laughter .
You are not serious , are you ? Alfonso kept quiet .
Theres no backer anywhere , Alfonso .
Even if there was , theres no help for your situation , other than what Ive offered .
Ewans case is different too .
Alfonsos eyes twitched in annoyance .
How could she lie to him ? Yet Athena met his gaze steadily as she drove the final nail to the coffin .
Honestly , Ewan cant help you either .
Hes barely hanging on , considering he experienced the same downfall as you did .
If he decides to buy your company , he will pay at most a million dollars .
But I can offer you a much better price .
Alfonso piqued his right eyebrow in unbelief .
I will offer you a hundred million dollars for the company … That should cover a lot , at least .
Alfonso sneered at Athena .
See you talking as if you can even afford that … He chuckled snidely , shaking his head .
I see your plans , Athena , but it wont work .
I wont sell out a product of my blood and sweat ! Athena laughed and dismissed him .
Get out of my office then .
