She Outshines 108


    Chapter 108


    It was half past six.


    Athena approached the cruise restaurant’s top floor in high heels. She was wearing a floral dress.


    She immediately saw Matthew standing against the railing with his hack facing her.


    He was dressed in a well-fitting ck suit. He had a noble temperament and an elegant bearing.


    His long legs were especially eye-catching. His charm was astounding.


    Athena felt like drawing him.


    Matthew seemed to be telepathic. As soon as she appeared, he turned around. He had a faint


    smile.


    The setting sun shone on him, outlining his frame in golden hues


    He was godlike.


    Athena quickened her pace while she marveled at how he looked


    Matthew thought she looked like a goddess.


    He held the back of the chair with both hands and gently pulled back. “Please have a seat.


    Athena sat down and looked at Matthew’s handsome face. He was so strikingly gorgeous. She then


    stared at his shaved head.


    “Your hair seems to have grown out a little?”


    Matthew sat down and leaned over. “Do you want to touch it?”


    “Yes.” Athena immediately reached out and ced her hand on top of his head.


    His short hair pricked her hand and made her heart itch.


    Louis was peeping at them from the side. He silently cheered Matthew on. He looked like he was


    about to cry.


    Yet another physical contact.


    Matthew allowed Athena to touch his head again.


    Louis swore he would no longer

    a romance


    novel if the two did not get together soon.


    Athena said, “Your hair grows very fast. When your hair grows even longer, I will miss your shaved


    head.


    Matthew smiled. “If you like, I can always shave my head and wear a wig when necessary.”


    Athena chuckled. “No need. You’ll look good with longer hair too


    The atmosphere became lighter.


    The dishes were also served consecutively.


    Matthew raised his ss. “Thank you for the crime scene investigation report. It’s useful. I know


    where to start looking now.”


    Athena raised her ss. “How do you n to investigate!”


    Matthew sipped his champagne. “It must have urred to you too. The drone costs over 20


    thousand dors. It is only avable on the official website. It can’t be bought with cash anywhere


    ele.

    There was a pause before he continued, “I’ve already asked someone to trace all the purchase


    records, track down all the buyers, and find out who’s rted to my sister or the Graham family.”


    Athena nodded. “Based on my experience and intuition, if the murderer is a woman, it might be


    rted to rtionship problems.


    She then added wistfully, “Also, I don’t think a female killer could have done so much. She probably


    had help from other aplices.


    That was why Athena liked to talk to Matthew.


    There was a tacit understanding between them. There was no need to exin too much to the other


    party.


    “Great minds think alike,” Matthew said with admiration. He had the same thought.


    Matthew said, “I suspect one person was responsible for finding and bribing the truck driver.


    Another person paid for it. A third person installed explosives on the driver and the truck. Another


    person used a drone to capture the car ident.”


    He paused momentarily before saying, “Of course, there aren’t necessarily four murderers, but


    there should be more than


    two.


    Athena nodded and asked curiously, “With all these clues, could you narrow in on the suspects?”


    Matthew turned the ss in his hand. His gaze was bottomless. There are many people with


    various motives. I once came up with a long list”


    He shook his head before continuing. It’s just that I can’t think of a single female murderer linked to


    rtionship problems.”


    Athena blinked. “Why? If it involves romance, it should be easier to identify the suspect.”


    She then waved her hand. “Oh, it’s alright if you don’t say anything as it’s your sister’s privacy”


    Matthew did not speak immediately. He passed Athena her favorite food before pouring more


    champagne for her. His voice was low as he said, “There’s no information for me to hold back. The


    media has already exposed all my sister’s rtionships.”


    He said. “My sister was 20 years old when she broke up with the popr singer, Mavis King, and


    married the heir of the top cruisepany in the industry.”


    He sighed. “Mavis passed away three yearster. My sister got a divorce using her husband’s


    infidelity as an excuse. She swore she would never marry again. She sessfully divorced him and


    devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work.”


    Matthew looked at her. “You were still young then, so you probably wouldn’t have paid attention to


    such entertainment gossip.”


    “I have an impression of what happened, Athena recalled. “At that time, I idolized your sister. She


    was astonishingly beautiful and capable. Despite being young, she managed such a bigpany


    so well.”


    She then pursed her lips. “At that time, like many people, I felt her ex-husband had poor taste in


    women. He didn’t know how to appreciate his wife, but he fell in love with a female celebrity who


    was a money-grubber and had past scandals with wealthy men. She even ended up bearing a male


    child together with him.”


    She shut up abruptly. “I’m sorry. I said too much.”


    All these matters were Lucy’s privacy. She should not say it in front of Matthew.


    Matthew smiled. “I was the one who asked you to treat my sister and help me investigate the


    murderer. I should let you on matters about my sister and me


    –


    Louis had reminded him that their rtionship could only take another step forward only by being


    honest with each other.


    Chapter 108


    In particr, he felt they had a close rtionship as they knew each other’s secrets.


    Matthew felt that it was special. He knew Athena’s secret and Athena knew his


    I was


    eight when my mother fell off the building and died. My sister was eighteen at that time. She was


    studying abroad.”


    The light in his eyes dimmed as if dark clouds were forming inside them. His nk eyes looked like


    the lights in the world were off, leaving only endless darkness.


    His gaze and low voice enthralled Athena. It was as if he had crossed the river of memories and


    was trapped in the past,


    “Our family’s rule is that only the legal descendants are qualified to be inheritors. I’m my father’s


    only legitimate son. I have an illegitimate elder brother and an illegitimate younger brother They’re


    all ambitious.”


    His brows furrowed as he continued, “After my mother’s ident, there were rumors everywhere


    that my father was preparing to have his second marriage.”


    He paused before saying, “If she gave birth to a son, he would undoubtedly be the legitimate


    son. He would be a huge threat


    Matthew’s gazended on Athena’s wless face after looking through the golden champagne in


    the transparent ss.


    He said, “My sister and I don’t care about that. However, my mother married my father when the


    Graham Group was in a financial crisis. She yed a big role in helping the Graham Group escape


    from the crisis


    His eyebrows furrowed again. “She died an unexined death. My sister and I must seek justice for


    her. Even if my sister and I had no ns to fight with them, the others might still not let us off.


    At that point, his gaze darkened.


    He sighed. “When I was eight, there was nothing I could do then My sister only took half a year to


    complete her studies in advance and joined the Graham Group. She wanted to protect me and seek


    justice for our mother,


    “At that time, the Graham Group was entering the logistics and transportation industry. They


    urgently needed to open up the sea transport route in Southeast Asia. That was the reason for her


    marriage into the family.”


    “Her ex-father-inw took a fancy to my sister. He wanted her to marry his eldest son. Of course,


    the Graham family had no reason to reject it. However, my sister already had a boyfriend back then.


    She rejected the marriage proposal.”


    Matthew paused before he continued, “The Graham family repeatedly pressured Mavis to break up


    with my sister. The Graham family, in turn, offered my sis terms too lucrative to reject.”“”


    There was a sign of displeasure on Matthew’s face. “They promised to give her 10% of the Graham


    Group’s shares if she agreed to the marriage. In addition, my mother left a will when she was alive.


    She left 5% of thepany shares to my sister. Thosebined shares would make her the


    secondrgest shareholder of the Graham Group. On the contrary, if she did not agree to the


    marriage proposal, the board would find a way to kick her out of the Graham Group.”


    Matthew looked sad as he continued, “I would be unable to join the Graham Group in the future if


    she got kicked out of the board


    Athena listened quietly and sighed in her heart.


    Mavis’s songs were timeless. Many singers still covered his songs His rtionship with Lucy was


    still a hot topic in the media and was discussed fervently byizens.


    Everyone felt sympathetic towards the unfated lovers.


    Mavis’s sudden and untimely death at the height of his poprity was even morementable.

    Matthew looked at Athena and asked, “Do you know why my mother left all her shares to my sister


    and not me?”
