Chapter 110: Conditions

Athena: "..."

She didn’t know whether to laugh or not after hearing Lanny’s statement.

"Are you serious? You did that to Vlad?" She asked Lanny in disbelief.

Lanny bobbed her head once again. "Yes." She grinned widely as she gave her a peace sign. "Sorry. I have to use you to discipline him and make him obey me." She scratched her face while looking guilty.

Athena could only shake her head helplessly. "You are a silly woman."

"Haha! I’m just being clever here." Lanny winked.

"You enjoy teasing your brother." Athena pinched Lanny’s cheeks.

"Hey, don’t defend him!" Lanny complained. Then she grabbed Athena’s shoulders, meeting her eyes.

"Athena, be honest with me. Do you like Vladimir too? What did you say after he confessed to you?" Lanny was curious.

Athena had complicated feelings. She liked Vladimir... but she wasn’t certain if she liked him more than just a friend.

"Your brother is an amazing guy. It’s not hard to like him or even fall in love with him. However..." Athena paused for a moment.

"However what?" Lanny asked. She hated the suspense. She was dying to hear Athena’s thoughts and feelings toward her brother, Vladimir.

"I’m not ready to accept his feelings. I don’t want distractions. I have to focus on my goal, getting revenge against Dominique and Sasha." Athena was so determined, her words filled with conviction.

Lanny nodded in understanding. "Don’t worry. I bet Vladimir is willing to wait for you." She patted Athena’s shoulder.

Athena just responded with a faint smile.

"Lanny... I revealed my identity to Vladimir. He knows my past now." she confessed.

Lanny’s eyes widened when she heard that. "Are you sure about this? Now that Vladimir knew the truth... I am certain that he won’t stand still. He might do something to Dominique. I know him well. He has the tendency to do violent things against someone he hates the most."

"Or worst... he might kill him," Lanny murmured to herself.

"I trust Vladimir. I told him that I would do my revenge myself. He will respect my decision."

Although Lanny was doubtful whether Vladimir would behave or not, she just chose to stay silent.

"So what’s your plan now?" she inquired Athena.

"Let’s go meet Oliver Jones and Timothy Wilson today. I have a plan." Athena identified the two men who would be useful to her revenge.

"Hmm. I like it. Count me in. I’ll contact the two men and set a separate meeting with them at Goddess Elixirs Cafe. Who do you want to meet first?" Lanny consulted her.

"I’ll prioritize meeting Oliver initially. We’ll save Timothy for last. I’ve got plenty to discuss with Timothy Wilson," she said, a cunning grin crossing her lips.

Lanny blinked in puzzlement. "Huh? Why Timothy Wilson? Do you want to become an artist under his company?"

Athena shook her head. "I have a reason. I think Sasha is cheating on Dominique. Timothy might be the other man." She showed her Ashton’s text message. She got this information from him.

Lanny gasped when she heard that. "Oh really! Damn! That’s his karma! He chose a slut over you. You can easily break them apart through this! What a great idea!"

Athena emitted a soft giggle. "Yes. He deserves this karma. I saw him devastated last night. I think the reason he accepted my offer is that... he wanted to divert his attention. Or perhaps, his relationship with Sasha is no longer the same as before. Maybe... Sasha could no longer satisfy his physical needs."

"Hmm. That’s possible! I can’t wait to see the two traitors suffer. Make them suffer. Tear them apart. Break them into pieces." Lanny encouraged her.

A light glint flashed in her eyes. "Yes. I’ll do that."

Lanny didn’t waste her time as she contacted the two men. She messaged Oliver Jones first.

[ Mr. Jones, I’m Lanny, Athena’s manager. We are now willing to meet you and give you another chance. Are you available today? If you do, meet us at Goddess Elixirs Cafe at 10:00 am. This time, just come alone. Don’t bring anyone, especially your scandalous fiancé! ]

Lanny’s message was received immediately by Oliver. His eyes sparkled in delight upon reading her message. Oliver quickly responded to her.

[ Thank you so much, Miss Lanny. I’m going to meet you. I’m available! See you there! I assure you, I will no longer bring a chaperone. And you won’t see her again. I am sorry for what she did. I’m also embarrassed by her attitude. Please forgive me. ]

"Athena, Oliver responded right away. He is going to meet us later." Lanny informed Athena, winking at her. She showed her Oliver’s message.

"Good to hear that. We have thirty minutes to prepare." Athena was excited today.

"By the way, Lanny... yesterday, I followed Dominique. I think your men did a very good job. He finally found my fake body. Starting today, I will be dead in his eyes already. He will no longer be suspicious of my identity. Aaron will also be safe. He will never know that Aaron is his son."

"Hmm. I’m also satisfied with their work. And this is also possible with Gael’s help. He is the one who helped us manipulate the medical records," Lanny added.

Athena nodded. "It’s true. I have to thank Gael for this. I’m going to meet him later."

"Okay, Athena. Wait. I’ll have to contact Timothy."

After saying that, Lanny sent a message to Timothy.

[ Mr. Wilson, I’m Athena’s manager. I’ve received your project offer. Are you available to meet us this afternoon to discuss this further? ]

Meanwhile, Timothy was leisurely drinking his coffee in his office when he received Lanny’s message. He was surprised when he finally received a response from Athena’s manager. He almost choked on his coffee because of excitement.

"Damn! They finally took notice of my offer. Great! This is my chance to talk to my goddess Athena!" Timothy couldn’t hide his excitement. Without further delay, he responded to Lanny’s message.

[ It’s my pleasure to finally meet her. I am free anytime. Where do you want us to meet? I can’t wait to present my proposal to her. Thank you, Miss Lanny, for reaching out to me. ]

Lanny grinned widely upon reading Timothy’s response. This guy caught her attention. He would be their trump card so they must negotiate with him and make a deal.

[ Goddess Elixirs Cafe. 1:00 pm ] Lanny just sent him a short reply.

"Athena, let’s do a background check on Timothy Wilson. I have a bad feeling about this guy. I believe he knows that Sasha is Dominique’s wife. I wonder if he deliberately got involved with Sasha despite the fact she is already married to Dominique. We should be cautious when dealing with this kind of guy." Lanny gave her some advice.

"Yes. I will be more careful." Athena reassured her. She supported Lanny’s opinion. They needed to conduct a background check on Timothy.

"My subordinates are still here. We still have time to gather information about this guy. I will mobilize my special team." Lanny made sure to gather information related to Timothy.

"Okay, Lanny. I will leave this to you." Athena was always grateful for Lanny’s help.

Lanny mobilized her men immediately, giving them the special task of profiling Timothy Wilson. As they waited for the result of her men’s investigation, Lanny and Athena headed to Vladimir’s Shop, the Goddess Elixirs Cafe. This place could secure their safety so they chose this Cafe as the meeting place today.

[ 10:00 am–Goddess Elixirs Cafe... ]

Five minutes after Lanny and Athena arrived at the Cafe, Oliver also showed up. The Cafe Staff guided him to the booth where Lanny was waiting for him. Athena didn’t join them because she wanted to observe from afar. She let Lanny deal with Oliver while she would be the one to talk and negotiate with Timothy later.

"Miss Lanny, are you alone? Where is Athena?" Oliver felt a little bit disappointed when he didn’t see Athena at their table.

"Oh, she’s busy with something. Anyway, let’s talk about business. Are you that determined to sign Athena as your hotel’s ambassador?" Lanny consulted him.

Oliver bobbed his head vigorously. "Yes! I want to sign a contract with her, making her our ambassador. Just tell me your conditions. I will do anything to meet them." He sounded desperate.

"Oh okay. For our first condition, you are having your engagement party this week, right? Let Athena perform during that event."

Oliver’s eyes widened with surprise. "Of course! I would love that. It will be a great honor on my part if she will perform during my engagement party." Oliver agreed instantly. For him, this was a win-win situation for him.

"Nice. For our second condition..." Lanny paused for a moment, thinking.

Meanwhile, Oliver was all eyes on her, waiting for her next words. He hoped Lanny’s condition would not be hard to fulfill.

After a while, Lanny smiled at him and said, "I can’t think of other conditions. Hehe. We will tell you once we decide what we want for our next conditions. You have to fulfill five of them before Athena signs the contract and becomes your hotel ambassador."

Oliver: "..."
