She Outshines 96
Chapter 96
The thought about giving up, but I can’t bear to,” Maria said with some embarrassment. “It’s my
dream. Even if I can’t fulfill it, I don’t want to end up doing nothing.”
At this point, Maria exined. “There’s a movie that says that if person doesn’t have dreams, she’s
no different from being
a waste. I think it makes sense.
Athena smiled and ced her hand on Maria’s shoulder. “Maria, I know how to read fortunes. I have
a feeling you’ll be lucky
If no one who appreciated Maria’s talent appear in the next few days, Athena would rmend
Maria to intern at the studio under her name.
Of course, Athena could also directly or indirectly guarantee Maria’s debut. However, she always
thought that helping others was good, but it was bad to arrange and decide other people’s lives
without permission. Moreover, only when one achieved something on their own would the sess
truly belong to them
Take the Kennedy family for example. It was indeed satisfying for them to get Vission Group’s
exclusive agency without any effort. However, the things Athena gave the Kennedy family for free
could be taken back at any time. Now, the entire city had seen what happened to the Kennedy
family when Athena stopped giving them a free ride.
When Maria heard Athena’s words, her brows rxed. “Of course, Athena. If you say so, my luck
will definitely improve
L
Athena smiled, “Alright, go to bed
Although Athena said that, she still sat at her desk after taking a shower and carefully analyzed the
video she had obtained from Matthew. She didn’t sleep until midnight,
The next morning, after Athena and her family had a noisy breakfast, she drove everyone to a
famous private restaurant to inspect,
Others usually had to book seats many days in advance, but it was different for Athena. She directly
went there for a meal.
Everyone ate and observed the surroundings. They even asked the waiter many questions and only
came out after eating for. over two hours.
Arthur rubbed his round belly and said, “It’s delicious, but I still think Mom’s cooking is better.”
Josie nodded. She gestured widely as she agreed, “Mom’s food is the best in the world.”
Maria added, “Their sautéed vegetables are sold for 80 dors a serving. It does taste good, but
Mom’s cooking is better. I think we can sell it for 100 dors a serving”
Athena smiled and said, “Mom, are you starting to have confidence in yourself now?”
From the moment ire tasted the first dish, she had been deep in thought. Now she said, “Looks
like I haven’t been to good restaurants for a long time and don’t know the market anymore. I can’t
say about the other food, but from the few dishes I tried just now, I think my cooking has a more
homely taste
Athena nodded. “Yup. Let’s go to the second restaurant.
The second private restaurant was located in an ordinary district it had three rooms and two halls.
The decor was very ordinary. Thergest hall was a public dining room, and each room was
equivalent to a private room.
The restaurant could only serve about 30 people at most. The ired old couple was in charge of
cooking, and the

granddaughter was in charge of receiving guests and doing odd jobs. Here, the guests ate whatever
the old couple cooked. The price was also more affordable. Under normal circumstances, they
could earn over 200 dors a day.
ire listened in a daze. It was obvious she was very interested in this kind of business.
Because it was not dinner time yet, they only walked around inside and left without eating.
Athena then brought everyone to the “primitive” restaurant Matthew had taken her tost night. The
unique cuisine and decor of the restaurant stunned everyone.
Josse especially loved it. After eating for a while, she ran to the cooking pit to watch the cavepeople
cook. She had a lot of
fun.
ire waited for them to finish eating before strolling around the restaurant to see how they cooked.
Athena did not move. She stayed in the wooden building and yed with her phone, sending
instructions to the various teams under her in the group chat.
She also received a message from Matthew. [Miss Donovan, I’ve caught the person who secretly
took photos of you at the school promotion party. He’s a little tight-lipped. Do you want to interrogate
him yourself, or do you want me to pry his mouth open?]
Athena sent two “shocked” emojis. [Let me interrogate him.]
Matthew: [Give me an address and I’ll send someone to bring him over immediately.]
Athena gave Matthew the location of Rufus’s ce and told Rufus about it.
Rufus: [Excellent. I love this kind of job.]
After leaving the ‘primitive” restaurant, Athena smiled and said, “Mom, after visiting three private
restaurants in a row, don’t you feel like you can do it too?”
ire smiled, “A little, but I still need to continue researching.”
Athena nodded and put her car key in Arthur’s hand. “Arthur, something came up at theboratory. I
need to go over there now. I’m noting back tonight. Take my car and send everyone back. You
can drive everyone to other private restaurants
tomorrow.
“I’ve sent you the addresses of the restaurants. Don’t worry, as long as you say my name, they will
treat you as esteemed guests. You don’t have to pay
Arthur had wanted a car for a long time. His eyes lit up at the prospect of driving such a good car for
some time. He said, “Alright, Athena. Don’t worry. I’m a good driver. I’ll send thedies home safely.
But is yourboratory far from here? Why don’t I send you there before heading home?”
Athena waved her hand. “No need. It’s peak hour now. It’ll be faster if I take the subway. It’ll only
take ten minutes to get there. I’ll go home when I’m done. Don’t worry about me.”
After watching her family leave, Athena put on her mask and hailed a taxi to Rufus’s

Athena had just arrived when she heard the private investigator owling. Curious, she asked, ‘Is he
really famous?”
Rufus said, “Matthew found out his identity. He’s indeed a celelinity. He began listing the man’s
details. “Daniel Coast, 25 years old. He’s a high school graduate and steals for a living. He’s good
at picking locks, tracking, and avoiding cameras. He’s been caught many times. He’s been in jail for
more than three years and was just released at the end ofst year.
“He once said to the media. There are many talents in prison and they’re great talkers. I love
staying inside. I don’t have to worry about living expenses or falling ill. Furthermore, we can share
life experiences: Since then, he has be popr.
“After he got out of prison, he switched careers to be a private detective. He was the one who
snuck in and secretly took photos and videos of the interior of your family’s previous house
Athena’s eyes shed. She was a little interested. “That house had a fingerprint lock. He can unlock
that?”
The fingerprint lock used in the Donovan family’s old ce was better. Even Athena had to spend
some effort to open it.
Not only could Daniel crack the fingerprint lock, but he also noticed that the words on the phone in
the photo were not ordinary. He was indeed capable.
