Chapter 230
Chapter 230
David had made quite a lot of friends amongst the international students in Laanu. He had quite the
reputation.
There were many of his ssmates at the banquet.
After being treated like this by the butler of Duke Devonstern’s residence today, he felt that he was
humiliated.
Even Bruce looked at him strangely and moved away from him.
Seeing this, David felt angry and filled with hatred.
This snob!
In the past, when Athene was with him, Bruce was the one who fawned upon him the most and said all
kinds of nice things to him.
However, when he was in trouble, Bruce fled faster than anyone else.
If he ended up being chased out of the banquet today, Bruce would definitely publicize it as soon as he
returned to school,
At that time, facing everyone’s strange and disdainful gazes, how could he still have the face to stay in
school?
David’s face darkened as he thought about what to do.
A maid suddenly eximed from the stairs, “Miss Athene, slow down. Be careful not to fall.”
It was Athene!
David’s eyes lit up. He shook off the male attendants on both sides and ran toward the stairs.
Athene hade to pick him up!
A ball of fire suddenly ignited in his heart, making his entire body radiant and energetic.
David hurried to the staircase and waited for Athene to run over and hold
his hand.
However…
Athene did run over, but she just passed him.
Like a gust of wind, she quickly spun over and then left.
David froze there as if rooted to the ground. His open arms trembled
slightly, and he was petrified.

Bruce, who had been following him closely, could not help butugh out loud.
“You!” David gritted his teeth and looked at Bruce with a livid expression. Bruce ignored him and turned
to look in the direction where Athene was running.
David also looked over.
Like a butterfly, Athene leaped over the others and stopped beside Olivia. Her eyes were filled with joy.
“Olivia, why are you here? Are you here to see me?”
Athene was over the moon. She just circled around Olivia and did not know what to do.
She was so overjoyed that she could not control herself. She chattered non–stop, feeling like she had
endless things to say.
David looked at all of this in shock. Then, a trace of unhappiness shed across his eyes. He strode
over to Athene and said with a cold expression, “Athene.”
“David, you’re here too.” It was as if Athene had just seen David.
Then, joy shed across her eyes.
She took a few steps forward and held David’s hand.
Seeing this, David’s originally uneasy mood calmed down.
He looked up and nced at the butler coldly.
This butler had embarrassed him in public. He was definitely going to get Athene to teach him a lesson
later.
Athene held David’s hand and walked to Olivia like a little kid presenting a treasure. “Olivia, look what I
have brought you! Are you surprised?”
“Uh…”
There was a suffocating silence.
Everyone looked at this scene withplicated expressions.
The butler returned to his senses and said in a low voice, “Miss. Miss Olivia asked us to chase Mr.
David out just now.”
Chase him out?
Why?
Athene was stunned. She first looked up at David, then turned to look at Olivia. Then, she said in a
puzzled tone, “Olivia, isn’t David your younger

brother?”
“No, no.” It was Mia who spoke. She quickly waved her hand. “It’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a
misunderstanding. Olivia has nothing to do with David.”
She had nothing to do with him!
Athene let go of David’s hand, and her expression became distant.
Then, like a child who had done something wrong, she stomped her feet in frustration.
“It’s a mistake, a mistake. This is so embarrassing. Why didn’t I learn Husheni properly?”
She med herself. She felt that all her hard work had been in vain as if she was winking sexily at a
blind person.
Unlike his previous anger and arrogance, Davidpletely calmed down after witnessing all of this.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
His fingertips trembled uncontrobly.
He hurriedly put his hands behind his back and looked up at Athene with aplicated gaze.
Previously, he had always been straightforward with Athene. He never held and said whatever he
wanted to say.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt fear.
His lips opened and closed several times, but he could not say a word.
Aaron was a very outstanding butler. Even though the topic had changed, he still remembered Olivia’s
instructions.
He walked up to David and said in a low voice, “Mr. David, please leave.”
David ignored the butler and looked straight at Athene.
Athene also looked over, tilting her head with a puzzled expression. “Aaron, why are you chasing David
out?”
Aaron replied, “This is Miss Olivia’s instructions. She doesn’t want to see Mr. David.”
“Oh.” Athene nodded.
David stared at her. Emotions surged in his chest, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Athene also looked up at David.
The moment their eyes met, David’s heart almost jumped out of his

chest. He did not know what he was excited about, nor did he know what he was anticipating.
However, he was certain that what Athene was going to say next would be very important to him.
Would she tell him to say? Even if she had mistaken him for someone else, did they not have any
feelings for each other after spending more. than half a year together?
Would she waver?
On one side was Olivia, who made her overjoyed, and on the other side was him.
David really wanted to know who Athene would choose after hesitating.
Athene looked at David and moved her lips.
David clenched his hands behind his back nervously.
Then, he heard Athene’s calm and slightly puzzled voice. “Why are you still here? Why aren’t you
leaving?”
David was at aplete loss for words.
He felt as if all the sounds had disappeared, and all the people and scenery had frozen.
It was as if his heart had been hammered by something. It was so painful that his entire body froze.
He could not speak or react, and just let the two male attendants carry him out the door.
Mia stood beside Olivia.
She should have been happy to see this scene, but for some reason, when she noticed David’s lost
and nk expression, she felt some sympathy.
After all, David was just a spoiled young man in his early twenties.
Olivia was invited upstairs by the butler. Mia followed her.
Like an excited child, Athene surrounded Olivia and chattered non–stop. It was only when the butler
came over and whispered a few words into her ear that she pressed her lips and left reluctantly.
“Olivia, wait for me here. I have something to do. I’ll be back in a while.” Athene went out the door,
followed the butler’s directions, and turned into the adjoining room.
The butler exined in a low voice, “Miss, Mr. David said that he won’t

leave no matter what and insists on seeing you. The people who came today are all important guests. I
was afraid that he would make a fuss, so I brought him up from the back door.”
They turned into the reception room and saw David sitting on the sofa.
Athene was puzzled. “Can’t we talk over the phone? Why do we have to meet?”
As she spoke, she pouted unhappily. “I finally met Olivia. I have a lot to say.”
David looked up and gave Athene a deep look.
Previously, when he was brought outside by the waiter, the cold wind made his muddle–headed mind
much clearer.
He could not leave just like that. There were some things that he had to ask Athene in person.
“Athene.” David paused for a moment and said with difficulty, “You treat me well and befriended me
because you misunderstood that I’m Olivia’s younger brother?”
“That’s right.” Athene simply nodded. She did not hide anything at all. Her tone was light and crisp,
extremely direct.
“Why else? You’re cold and distant, have a bad temper, get angry easily, and are a little arrogant. You
don’t care about anyone. You even order me around. If it weren’t for Olivia, why would I lower myself
and suck up to you?”
David lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. He was about to speak.
Mia’s voice suddenly came from outside the door. “Olivia, let’s go to this room. There doesn’t seem to
be anyone here. I’ll change my clothes.”
“Olivia is here!”
Athene could not let Olivia see David.
Athene pulled on David’s sleeve and ran straight to the washroom next door.
