She Outshines 53
Chapter 53
Outside the entrance of Vission Resort, both Athena’s car and Matthew’s luxury vehicle were
parked.
Matthew, ever the gentleman, asked. “Miss Donovan, would you mind if I ride with you and you give
me a lift?”
Athena nced at Matthew’s car, her mind filled with questions,
She thought, ‘Mathew’s car is the stuff of legend-a vehicle worth billions, rumored to be
indestructible even by a truck collision. So why is he opting to ride in my car instead of his own?”
Louis, ever quick to read the room, smoothly exined, “Miss Donovan, Mr. Graham had a few
drinks earlier, so it’s not convenient for him to drive. How about he rides with you while take care of
driving his car and escorting your family!”
Athena thought it made sense and remembering that she’d had a little red wine herself, took a
hangover pill from her bag and popped it into her mouth. “That works”
Arthur quickly spoke up. “I’ll ride with Josie in Athena’s car
As her brother, he instinctively felt that this too-handsome Matthew might not have the best
intentions. He needed to keep an eye on things,
Athena nodded. “Alright. Mom, Dad, you can ride in the car with Louis”
Wesley and ire exchanged a quick nce, subtly sizing up Matthew before agreeing. “Sure”
It was clear that Matthew’s intentions weren’t entirely straightforward, but he seemed respectful and
wasn’t like the other wealthy types who were at the party. As long as Athena didn’t mind, they saw
no need to interfere
As soon as Athena got into the driver’s seat, Matthew casually opened the passenger door, slid in,
and buckled up.
Arthur shot him a discreet re, thinking. ‘How does this guy move so fast?”
Reluctantly, he got into the back seat with Josie, silently vowing. I’m watching you-don’t even think
about trying anything with Athena.
Once everyone was buckled in, Athena started the car.
The drive was smooth and steady.
Matthew didn’t make small talk. Instead, he quietly observed the car’s interior. The upholstery felt
luxurious, almost like genuine leather, but he knew it wasn’t.
Taking advantage of Athena’s focus on driving, he discreetly pulled out a small knife and lightly ran
it along the seat and side panel near his right leg.
A faint scratch appeared but quickly smoothed out, leaving no trace.
Next, he took out a lighter, shielding it from view with his body and the seat back, and carefully
applied the me to the
same area
A slight scorch mark appeared where the me touched.
But after he extinguished the lighter, he simply wiped the spot with his hand, and the mark vanished
completely, leaving the surface wless
He thought. This really is ‘skywrought Matthew was stunned. He nced at Athena, even more
intrigued. Who exactly is she, to be able to afford such luxury-using “skywrought to outfit her car?’

Chapter 53
This material, known for being water-resistant, fireproof, cut-proof, radiation-resistant, anul
maintaining a constant temperature, was Vission Group’s proprietary technology. Its performance
was so advanced that it was considered to be ahead of current scientific capabilities, earning it the
nickname “skywrought in the industry.
“Skyw ought” wasn’t yet mass-produced. The limited supply was primarily reserved for government
use in aerospace, military manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The small remainder was
managed exclusively by Vission Group and wasn’t avable for sale-no one could even negotiate
for it.
The only way for him to get his hands on “skywrought was by securing exclusive agent rights from
Vission Group, which would then give him a chance to negotiate with Vission Group’s mysterious
owner.
As for who that owner was, nobody knew. The person never made public appearances, and since
Vission Group wasn’t listed on the stock market, their identity remained a secret
Rumor had it that Vission Group’s sole major shareholder was a young individual who wielded
absolute control over everything at thepany.
Industry insiders oftenpared him to this elusive figure, describing them as legendary rivals.
Matthew was eager to meet this enigmatic owner of Vission Group, but he had no idea when that
opportunity mighte.
While he quietly observed Athena, Arthur was discreetly watching him-and growing increasingly
frustrated.
He thought. Why does this Matthew keep sneaking nces at Athena”

Annoyed, he sent a message to a group chat: [Someone’s coveting Athena.]
The chat immediately blew up.
[Who? Send pics and info]
[That man looks pretty good, though-definitely the kind that could charm girls easily. You’d better
keep an eye on Athena.]
[Wait, is that Matthew! He’s no pushover. If he’s approaching Athena, he’s got a motive. Be extra
careful]
[Handle it smartly. Don’t let Athena feel like we’re overstepping or controlling her. But let’s not worry
too much-Athena’s sharp and well-traveled. We can’t treat her like some clueless kid]
Arthur replied with a salute emoji: [Don’t worry, I’ve got my eye on her.]
After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to briefly mention what had happened earlier with the
Harper family and Kennedy family.
The chat exploded again.
[In situations like that, check with Athena first. If she’s fine, just walk away. There’s no need to deal
with those people politely…]
[You should’ve put them in their ce on the spot.]
[Lucas and Andrew, right? Got it. I’ll remember those names.]
Caught up in the conversation with his friends, Arthur didn’t notice that the car had already stopped. Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
When he finally looked up, Matthew had already reached the driver’s side and was gantly
opening the door for Athena. Arthur thought, “This is infuriating! Opening the car door for Athena
should be my job as her brother, not something left to

a guy with who-knows-what intentions”
Frustrated, he punched the car seat, feeling like he’d just lost out on a golden opportunity.
Athena stepped out of the car and looked up, taking in the sight of the building in front of her-a
ce with understated design, artistic elegance, and timeless charm. “Where are we?”
This is Cloud Club, a private one owned by the Graham family, Matthew exined. “The dishes
here are all exclusive creations. I hope you and your family enjoy them.”
“Oh, Athena responded, rubbing her stomach. “I am getting a little hungry.”
Louis, having just parked, walked over with a smile. “Miss Donovan, we’re still waiting for one more
guest. Once she arrives, we’ll head upstairs.”
Arthur, now on high alert, asked, “Who else are we waiting for?”
He was already skeptical about these rich types. If Matthew had invited another one of this kind,
Arthur was ready to mentally deduct points.
Just as he finished speaking, a sleek sports car glided up and parked right in front of them.
