She Outshines 140
A reporter Anabel hired said, “Madalyn Acevedo, 24 years old, 2 from Ebadena,
“She graduated two years ago from Ebadena University and is an internwyer at Doyle Law Firm,
earning over 1,600 dors a month, plus an extra month’s sry at year–end andmission for
completed cases.
“The firm is quite mediocre, with only two practicingwyers and fewer than ten employees total.
They don’t get much business, operating on slim profits, mostly handling divorce cases, Infidelity
investigations, and lost pet searches.
“Her parents have passed away, and there are no other rtives. So far, we haven’t found out how
she met Matthew.
“She currently lives in Room 1200, Skyline Apartment, valued at around 2 million dors. It was
originally in Matthew’s name but was transferred to hersst month.
“Additionally, she owns a three–bedroom apartinent in Starry Community worth over 2 million
dors, drives a Volkswagen Phaeton, and has savings exceeding 200 thousand dors. All these
assets can be traced back to Matthew’s confidants.”
Anabel was initially surprised. “They say Matthew isn’t interested in women, yet he’s been secretly
keeping one and didn’t let a whisper slip out?”
Then she sneered, deep disappointme fools,”
her eyes. “Men really are all the same. Women who treat them like treasures are
She grabbed the file and waved it dismissively; her tone dripping with disdain. Focus on this
woman. Whenever Matthew is out of Kitmore City, set up an appointment with her. I’ll speak with
her personally”
Dealing with Matthew himself was tricky, especially since he was the president of the Graham
Group, which could lead to a
lot of trouble.
However, handling Matthew’s girlfriend to make her retreat or even disappear was much simpler.
Unless she waspletely clueless.
Anabel thought, But surely Mathew won’t fall for a woman like that, right?”
The reporter on the video call respectfully replied, “Yes, I’ll inform you as soon as I have any
updates.”
Meanwhile, news of Matthew spending the night at his girlfriend’s ce trended online, exploding
in poprity.
Netizens were eagerly gossiping and specting
“Matthew has cleared the news. He shows them no respect, brazenly unting his affair. He’s
rebellious and arrogant. I’m genuinely worried he might lose his position.”
“Mr. Graham should be fine, but no one knows what might happen to his woman.”
“It is more exciting than drama! I hope the young man can withstand the pressure from the elders
“I want to know everything about this beauty!”
“Isn’t there anyone online who can dig up info on Mr. Graham’s girlfriend yet?”
Athena was driving her Miracle 3.0, listening to the gossip while heading to Vlento Court to pick up
Zilvia’s things.
Though Matthew hadn’t exined, she understood that Matthew’s “girlfriend” wasn’t a real
girlfriend but apanion he used to stand against the Graham and Powell families.
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that Matthew might be using this “girlfriend” to protect her.

“Ugh, this feelsplicated, she muttered. “Both the Graham family and the Powell family are
typical wealthy families. I hope he can handle it.”
Athena thought, ‘What if he can’t hold up or got hurt? s, I will definitely have to help him
By noon, she arrived at the old house, carrying a tote bag upstairs.
Just then, Linda, who arrived about ten minutester at Viento Court, saw her car and was shocked
to the point that she looked pale.

Linda thought. She is here too? Did the Donovan family actually invite her over? Their rtionship
has progressed to the point where they spent the night together and met each other’s families?
Linda was well aware of how much Jaden valued family.
If Jaden didn’t consider someone family, he would never bring them home.
In an instant, Linda felt a pang in her heart, and tears streamed down her face.
She thought sadly, Jaden, I was wrong. But woke up less than three years ago. How could you fall
for another woman so quickly? No matter where I am, my heart still belongs to you. How could you
betray our feelings? I refuse to ept this!”
Linda pounded the steering wheel like a mad woman, crying. “Ive only loved you in my life. I won’t
let anyone else have you! This time, no matter how many obstacles there are or what methods I
have to use, I’ll get you back!”
She cried intermittently for nearly half an hour before finally tiring herself out.
Wiping her tears with a tissue, Linda reapplied her makeup.
Just as she finished, she saw Athenaing down with a bulging tote bag, and a sudden urge to
run her over shed through Linda’s mind..
But she controlled herself.
However, the next shocking thing happened.
Wesley was standing on the balcony, waving to Athena below, saying, “Athena, drive slowly on your
way back. Don’t rush.” “Okay. Athena looked up and waved back. “Dad, you still have to work this
afternoon. Take a quick nap. I’m leaving now” Linda thought, “Dad? Athena called Wesley ‘Dad?
Could it be that Jaden is going to marry Athena?”
The mere thought of it made Linda’s heart race.
In a panic, she mmed on the gas, chasing after Athena.
As soon as Athena stepped outside, she noticed Linda’s eye–catching dark green BMW and
couldn’t help but frown, thinking, What is she up to?
Since the day before yesterday, Linda had been following Athena, and today she even showed up
at the Donovan family, which made Athena feel uneasy.
She usually wouldn’t care about such trivial matters. After all, she was driving a Miracle 8.0. If Linda
had the guts, she could crash into Atheria and see how sturdy her car really was.
But after discovering that Linda had found Vlento Court, Athena felt annoyed.
Athena thought. Linda wasn’t trying to harass my family, was she? That won’t do.
Bb.
So, after getting away from lento Court, Athena took a less–traveled street and parked her car in
front of Linda’s dark green BMW, blocking her way. Then she got out and knocked on Linda’s
window, annoyed. “Why are you following me? What do
you want?”
Linda was momentarily taken aback, then smiled. “Let’s talk”
The two women entered a nearby coffee shop that had no other customers, sitting at a small table
in the corner.
Athena ordered herself a cup of coffee but didn’t order one for inda.
Linda did the same, but once she got her coffee, she stared at Athena and asked, “Are you even of
legal age? Does your family approve of your rtionship with Jaden?”
Athena was taken aback and blinked at Linda, thinking, ‘She actially thinks Jaden and I are
dating”
She wasn’t going to exin herself, instead wearing a smug smile. “My situation with Jaden is none
of your business.”
Her ambiguity infuriated Linda.
Linda mmed the table, disregarding her image, and shouted. Of course it’s my business! I’m
