Fabian never expected Athena to be brave enough to hit him, and her strength was so great that he staggered and fell to the ground.
In an instant, Samantha was the one looking condescendingly at Fabian.
Samantha smirked and said, "You're quite the talker, Mr. Garvey..."
After Fabian got over the shock, a surge of uncontrollable anger rose at once.
The Gilligans used to be on par with the Garveys but the former's old master passed away very early on. Although Athena's father was very business-savvy, his love for his wife trumped his ambition. When Athena disappeared and Irene cried every day, he barely kept the company going until after he passed away a few years ago. That was when his eldest son Horace took charge of the company.
Horace achieved plenty in the past few years, but the Garveys had been accumulating capital and expanding its businesses without respite. Since then, their wealth and power had surpassed that of the Gilligans.
