"She doesn't need an invitation."

Everyone's head snapped in the direction of the voice. Athena also looked over and was shocked when she saw who spoke up for her.

It was him!

"Mr. Chambers?"

The two staff members who were fierce against Athena just now were shocked when they saw the person coming.

"What are you doing?" Gabe frowned and stood in front of Athena.

The surrounding guests were surprised.

"Just now, a guest told us that this lady has no invitation, so we came here for a routine inquiry," a staff replied.

"She doesn't have an invitation because I invited her!" Gabe said with a solemn look, "If you have any questions, just ask me!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chambers!" The two staff members quickly waved their hands and apologized. "Miss, we don't know the situation well. Please forgive us. It's my fault. I'm sorry to affect your good mood at the banquet!"

"Sorry!" Another staff hurriedly echoed.

"It's Okay." Athena shook her head.

"You can go." Gabe waved his hand with an annoyed expression.

Every servant in the Chambers family knew well that Gabe was kind and tolerant. He never embarrassed the servants.

The two staff members left with livid faces.

They muttered, "Who is so vicious and fooled us like this?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ruby immediately hid in the crowd.

She was afraid that those two staff members would recognize her and embarrass her in public.

"This woman actually knows Mr. Chambers!"

"She's not just Gabe's acquaintance. From his attitude, she might be Gabe's girlfriend!"

"Who the hell is she?"

Ruby heard the discussions around her. Her face turned pale instantly.

Athena had been Byron's girlfriend for five years. Just after being abandoned, she hooked up with Gabe.

How could it be?!

Athena didn't deserve such a wealthy man!

Athena was also stunned.

Firstly, she didn't expect the handsome mixed-race guy to be the young master of the Chambers family, the protagonist of the party.

Secondly, he helped her just now!

"Are you all right?"

Gabe turned around and looked at Athena in concern as if he worried that she would be frightened.

"I'm fine, Mr. Chambers. Thank you for helping me." Athena was a little embarrassed.

After all, she sneaked onto the cruise.

Athena suddenly remembered someone!

Brad!

She hurriedly looked for Brad. Among the scattered crowd, she didn't find him.

"What are you looking for? Did you lose anything?"

Gabe was a little confused. He followed Athena's gaze and looked around.

"I'm finding..."

Before she could finish speaking, a woman interrupted her.

"Athena!"

The sweet and feigned voice sounded.

Ruby looked at her provocatively just now. Athena was sure that she had ordered the two staff members.

Ruby came to her first before she could get even with her for this.

Athena looked over.

She trembled slightly.

Ruby held Byron's arm. The two looked like a sweet couple.

"Mr. Crawford." Athena nodded slightly to Byron. Her tone was cold.

Gideon smiled and waved his hands. "Hey, Athena."

Athena ignored him.

Gideon was a little embarrassed.

It turned out that Athena had her temper. She still didn't forgive him because of his nonsense in Byron's office that day.

Byron went up to Athena.

He looked at her, and then, his gaze fell on Gabe.

He chuckled and said, "You are good."

Athena's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

She looked up at Byron and put a half-smile. "Thanks. You taught me well."

After that, she saw Byron's eyes turning gloomy suddenly.

Athena angered Byron with only one sentence.

As Byron said, she was good.

She thought if it weren't for so many guests here, Byron would have caught her and thrown her away.

But he had to maintain his public image.

"Hello, Mr. Crawford!" Gabe greeted politely.

Byron was born into a noble family and had always been courteous.

But at this moment, he ignored Gabe's greeting and walked to the banquet hall with Ruby.

Gideon was a looker-on.

He almost laughed when he heard Athena's reply to Byron just now.

Athena was really amazing after she left Byron!

Gideon followed Byron to the banquet hall with a smirk.

Athena was annoyed to see Gideon. She was even more irritated when she saw his smirk.

She thought, "Byron! You are an idiot!

I desperately want to recover the loss of the company.

But you come with your new sweetheart and make trouble!"

"Athena."

At this time, a clear voice sounded and interrupted her thoughts.

Athena looked up in surprise.

Gabe's light blue eyes were full of gentle smiles.

"Athena Newton!"

Gabe called her full name, and his tone became more excited.

Athena couldn't help laughing. "Yeah, it's my name."

"I like your name!" Gabe suddenly remembered something. He said seriously, "My name is Gabe Chambers. Remember it!"

Athena smiled and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ears.

Her restless mood quickly calmed down.

The party would last for several hours. Before Brad left here, she still had a chance.

"By the way, you sneaked here. Do you have anything important to do?" Gabe asked.

Athena's tone sounded regretful. "I came to talk to a senior. Just now, I almost got the chance."

"Who are you looking for? I can help you!" Gabe proposed.

In Athena's view, everything had its price.

She shook her head and refused. "Mr. Chambers..."

"Call me Gabe!"

Athena smiled helplessly and was about to speak when Brad's bodyguard came over.

"Miss, my boss invites you."

Athena was surprised. She immediately nodded. "Well, I'll go right away."

"Your boss? Who is your boss?" Gabe was very vigilant.

He had heard some things from his friends.

Some middle-aged men were very wicked. They always liked to seduce young and beautiful girls.

He was worried that Athena would be bullied.

"That's the person I'm looking for," Athena whispered, "Gabe, thank you. I have to go. I'll treat you to dinner one day."

After saying this, Athena followed the bodyguard and left

After a while, Athena entered a luxury suite on a cruise ship with the bodyguard.

"Which company are you from?" Before Athena could say a word of greeting, Brad turned his head, glanced at her, and asked straight to the point.

"Mr. Maxwell, I come from Imbe Group," Athena replied.

Brad paused for a moment and then frowned. "You play the harp very well. I am pleased to hear it. But Imbe Group is not professional enough. I won't choose to cooperate with an unprofessional team, so..."

"Mr. Maxwell, I think you've seen a lot of projects from top companies in the industry recently." Athena's tone was soft without a trace of aggressiveness.

It made people instinctively let go of their vigilance.

Brad nodded. "Including your company's project. Among those companies, I'm very disappointed with Imbe Group."

"Due to some internal reasons within the company, we have provided incorrect data. I'm sorry," Athena said, "Mr. Maxwell, I'm sure you haven't read our company's complete project."
