She Outshines 138
Chapter 138
After a moment of silence, Athena softened her voice. “Jaden, these are just my guesses. I have no
evidence to support them. so I can’t make any conclusions. Even if Zilvia left intentionally, the might
have been deceived. Maybe she met someone online or elsewhere, and they made certain
promises that convinced her to willingly go along with their ns”
“You’re right.” Jaden covered his eyes with his hand, a bitter smile on his face. “No matter how
smart she is, she’s still just a kid. It’s very likely she was fooled.”
He paused slightly and then said, “Athena, promise me one thing
He lowered his hand from his eyes and looked at Athena. “If one day you’re sure your analysis is
correct, please make sure to tell me. But don’t tell anyone else in the family.
Athena wanted tofort him but didn’t know how. She could only whisper, “Okay”
Jaden took his hand off his face. “Athena, I’d like to have a drinks that Okay? I promise I won’t get
drunk, and I definitely won’t act like a fool.”
Drink as much as you want,” Athena replied gently. “I have a hangover remedy that works instantly,
so I’m not worried.”
Jaden ordered a bottle of wine with an alcohol content of over twenty degrees and sipped it slowly.
Athena remained silent, slowl
aling on snacks as she watched Jaden drink.
It took Jaden over an hour to finish the bottle, and he was a bit tipsy, not needing anyone to take
care of him, but he looked somewhat dazed, and his steps were unsteady
Athena didn’t give Jaden the hangover remedy
When a person suffered and felt trapped to the extreme, they hail to do something to vent their
frustration. Otherwise, the consequences could be worse than getting drunk
After paying the bill, she helped Jaden downstairs and then into the car.
Linda witnessed this scene.
She was filled with bitterness
She gritted her teeth, driving behind Athena, watching the two of them enter Mid-Level Mountain
Garden again, feeling her
heart shatter once more.
Linda desperately wanted to enter themunity to see what exactly Jaden’s rtionship with
Athena was, but she didn’t know anyone who lived there. The security was strict, and her attempts
to charm or bribe the guards failed miserably.
After wandering around for a while, she decided to flirt with a male resident to gain entry.
However, just then, her family called, urging her toe home immediately.
With no choice, Linda had to leave, nning to find them the next day.
That afternoon, Athena stayed in, holding her tablet to read documents while keeping an eye on
Jaden, who was sleeping on
the sofa.
The conversation that morning must have been a huge shock for Jaden. Athena noticed a tear
trickle down the corner of his eye, making her heart ache.
She reflected on whether it was right to share her terrifying spections with Jaden without any
solid evidence.

Nevertheless, Zilvia’s cave had to be investigated thoroughly.
After some thought, Athena called her mom and asked her to send Catherine’s photo, preparing to
search for Catherine’s
information online
She felt that since Catherine was so close to Zilvia and spent every day with her, it was unlikely she
was unaware of Zilvia’s
disappearance.

Just as she was about to search for information about the Powell family in detail, Athena received a
text from Matthew.
Matthew: [Miss Donovan, my grandfather just told the reporters that I’m engaged to a woman I

Matthew (Well done! I knew you were smart. You can tell right away that this news is false.]

Athena: [Okay.]
After ending the conversation, Matthew put away his smile, his expression turning cold.
Louis said. “The Murray family called me again, asking me to plead on their behalf. What’s your
response?”
The Murray family had been callin

Well, the Murray family indeed seemed to be on the verge of desperation.
