She Outshines 22
Chapter 22
Athena replied with an “OK” emoji along with the message: [I’m also very busy recently and can’t
come over for now. Please keep me updated on the progress.]
As the leader of Dr. Annie’s team, she would certainly have to perform such a high-difficulty surgery
herself.
After agreeing, she messaged Louis: [Dr. Annie has responded and is willing to treat Ms. Graham.
Here’s the contact for Dr. Annie’s assistant, Fanny. Add her, and she’ll exin Dr. Annie’s
arrangements and requirements in detail-]
Louis quickly sent back “touched” and “crying” emojis: [Thank you so much, Miss Donovan. You’ve
been an enormous help to Mr. Graham and Ms. Graham. We’ll always remember this kindness and
repay it in the future.]
He almost said that his boss would be willing to offer himself in marriage as thanks, but at thest
moment, he managed to control his mischievous fingers.
His enthusiasm was so great that Athena felt obliged to send a smiley face” in response: [It’s no
trouble at all, don’t mention it.]
Louis sent back: [When
would o
you be avable? Mr. Graham would like to treat
treat you to dinner as a token of appreciation]
Athena responded shortly after: [No need, I have to study now. Bye.]
Louis subsequently sent two more messages expressing gratitude, greetings, and offers
Fifts, but received no reply,
At a loss, he turned to his boss, who had been watching the phone screen beside him, and said,
“Mr. Graham, I’ve done my best. It’s up to you now,
“Contact Fanny immediately and fulfill all her requests. Matthew gave him a cold nce. “Get ahold
of Isaac tonight while you’re at it. I have something to ask him.”
By the time Louis had finalized all the arrangements with Fanny night had fallen.
At this hour, Isaac, impably dressed in a tailored suit, was hosting his biological daughter, Gia,
who had just returned from abroad, at an upscale restaurant.
He and his wife were very pleased with Gia. Gia was petite, with delicate features and chestnut-
colored curls styled like a doll. Her graceful demeanor and polished speech made it clear she was
raised in a world of privilege, a true asset to the Kennedy family,
Regina couldn’t stop praising her daughter. “Sweetheart, you’re absolutely stunning, like a real-life
Barbie princess. No other youngdy in Kitmore City canpare to you.
Both of them gleamed, “Your mom and dad are so proud of you
Cia smiled sweetly, her voice soft and slightly ented. “Thank you for thepliment, Mom.”
“Gia, your dad and I have been thinking Isaac said with a smile. Since you’ve just returned, take a
couple of days to rest and get familiar with Kitmore City,
“Once we’re ready, we’ll host a grand wee party for you and your brother, inviting all our friends
and the city’s elite to announce that you are our biological children.
He should have arranged the wee party immediately, but the Kennedy family had just been
abandoned by Vission Group and was under scrutiny. Many were taking pleasure in their
misfortune.
Holding the party now might make them aughingstock, so he decided to wait until he could win
back Vission Group before hosting the event.

Chapter 22
Gia wasn’t in a hurry to showcase her beauty and talent to Kitmore City’s high society. She
responded thoughtfully, “Til follow whatever you and Dad decide.”
Just then, Isaac’s phone rang. Seeing it was an unknown number, he hung up and poured his
daughter a drink. “Gia, are you getting used to the food herepared to back home? If not, Ill hire
a private chef just for you…
Before he could finish, his assistant, Mical, rushed in. “Mr. Kennedy, I received a call from someone
iming to be…
“Can’t you see I’m busy?” Isaac said, annoyed. “What could be more important than having dinner
with Gia? Haven’t you learned to prioritize after all this time?”
Micah hesitated for a moment. “Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Graham’s secretary called. Mr. Graham wants to
meet you.”
Isaac was impatient. Which Mr. Graham?”
“Matthew Graham, from the Graham Group…”
“Matthew Graham?” Isaac eximed, his hand shaking as he spilled wine on the table as well as
onto his and Gia’s clothes. But he didn’t care about that. Trembling, he asked, “Is it really Matthew
Graham from the Graham Group? Are you sure?”
Micah replied. “I asked why I should believe them, and they said if I’m smart, I’d know how to judge.
They also said Mr. Graham would only wait until 9 PM, then hung up and sent an address.”
Isaac set the wine bottle down and stood up. “What’s his number? And the address”
Connecting with Matthew Graham was a dream for many in the business world, and Isaac was no
exception. Especially now, with the Kennedy family in dire straits, they desperately needed financial
backing.
However, as one of the wealthiest people in Kitmore City, Isaac had to be cautious about meeting
strangers to avoid scams. or kidnappings.
Micah showed him the caller ID, and the number looked familiar…
Isaac checked his phone and realized the unknown number that had called him matched the one
that called Micah. So, when Isaac didn’t answer, they called Micah instead.
The address sent to Micah was for a high-end club owned by the Graham family in Kitmore City,
essible only to members who were either wealthy or influential. Given this, it seemed likely the
caller was legitimate.
Isaac was so excited that his face turned red, and his voice trembled. “Everyone, I’m off to meet Mr.
Graham. Please continue eating without me.”
With that, he hurriedly rushed out.
In his excitement, he nearly tripped over a chair leg but managed to grab the back of the chair just
in time, avoiding an embarrassing fall
“Dad, I’ming too! Gia eximed, rising quickly and struggling to contain her own excitement.
“Mr. Graham is incredibly sharp. I might be able to help you
Two years ago, when she was just sixteen, she had seen Mr. Graham at an auction overseas and
had been captivated by him
Ever since.
At that time, her status and circumstances felt worlds apart from his, and Mr. Graham was known
for being indifferent to women. She had no opportunity to approach him and had to regard that
fleeting encounter as nothing more than a teenage fantasy.
Now that she was so close to Mr. Graham, she could hardly contain her enthusiasm.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
