Athena had already built a barrier in her heart, selectively deciding which words could pass through.
"Aunt! Of course, I'm listening carefully to you. That's why I'm telling you specifically that I won't be a mistress. I intend to be Thomas's wife." She spoke righteously and firmly, as if she had already secured her position as his wife.
"Thomas and Alice have a good relationship, which you cannot destroy. Go back to your room and sleep." Amelia was almost exasperated to the point of fainting. She pointed at Athena with frustration, urging her to return to her room and sleep.
Yet Athena couldn't listen at all, single-mindedly wanting to find Thomas Fisher, "I won't go back to my room to sleep; I want to find Thomas."
After speaking, she turned and ran downstairs.
"Athena!"
Lily Turner couldn't bother to greet Amelia, raising her steps to chase after her.
