She Outshines 233
Matthew left just like that.
Anabel, who had received the news, was so angry that her eyes turned red. She kept pping the
folder on the table, making
the office buzz.
Anabelined. “I just came to Valemont City and only had a working lunch with Matthew. But
he left for Motirnd the next day. He must do it on purpose!
“The two families are friends and business partners. I visited his family regrly when I was young,
but he embarrassed me. He’s too much.
“I gave up my important position at the corporation’s headquarters and came to Valemont City to be
the general manager just to give us a chance to get to know each other. Why did he treat me like
this?”
Anabel’s goal was to be on the board of directors by thirty.
She was twenty–six, and the next few years would be critical. It was a bet that she had given up her
important position in the headquarters toe to Valemont City,
If she won the bet and Matthew could help her, she would be like a tiger with wings, and no one
could stop
If she lost the bet, she might have to work hard for a few more years and waste her time
Juliet stood quietly in the corner, trying not to be noticed.
her.
A few minutester, after Anabel finished venting, she calmed down and poured herself a cup of
coffee. As she drank, she asked Juliet, “What do you think?”
Juliet said, “I think our guess is correct.
“Mr. Graham has someone he loves, so he doesn’t want to have too much contact with you.
“Or rather, his secret lover doesn’t want him to have too much contact with you.”
Anabel’s fingers trembled slightly as she held the coffee cup, and the coffee almost overflowed.
That was why she got so worked up.
Whether out of a woman’s intuition or rational analysis, Anabel could feel that Matthew was
protecting the woman he cared. about in the dark.
Matthew had always been cold–blooded. It was hard for him to fall for someone
It was like how he treated the Graham family. He was indifferent to those he didn’t love, even if they
died. However, he would open his heart and do everything he could to those he loved,
Just like how he treated his mother, Matthew was still investigating the cause of his mother’s death
and was still suppressing and torturing all the suspicious targets. In total, dozens of people had
been tortured to the point of going bankrupt and losing their reputations.
-Just like how he treated his sister, Lucy, Matthew could hide it for five years without revealing
Lucy’s whereabouts.
At the moment, Matthew treated the woman in his heart the same way.
Arabel slowly ced the coffee cup that seemed to weigh dozens of pounds on the table and tried
to steady her voice. “Who do you think is the most likely woman in his heart?”
FI
She had asked this question many times.
Juliet’s answer remained unchanged. Joy is the first possibility, and Athena is the second.”
Anabel took out her phone, put it on speaker, and made a call. She dialed again and again.
On the fifth call, the other side picked up. The voice was gentle and polite. “Hello, who is this?”
Is this Joy’s voice? Anabel thought, ‘It sounds so pleasant and proper.

Anabel took a deep breath and held back her jealousy. “Hello, this is Matthew’s friend. I want to talk
to you about Matthew. Can we meet and chat a bit?”
Women were emotional creatures. Once they had a good impression of a man or an extraordinary
rtionship with him. they wanted to know his rtionships with other women.
Just like the romance dramas, the female lead who was cheated on knew meeting her boyfriend’s
new lover would only bring her harm and humiliation, but she still insisted on meeting the girl
Anabel wanted to use this method to lure out the woman who had a romantic rtionship with
Matthew.
Joy’s voice was slightly confused. “I’m not familiar with Mr. Graham. Who are you? What do you
want to talk to me a
about?”
“Ah, she’s ying dumb. Just drop the act!’ Anabel sneered in her heart but said sincerely, “Miss
Lambert, I know what your rtionship with Matthew is. I don’t have any ill intentions toward you. I
only want to talk to you about what happened between me and Matthew. Only then can you truly
understand him.”
“You must have made a mistake.” Joy’s voice was polite and determined. “I have nothing to do with
Mr. Graham. I don’t think I need to talk about him with anyone. Please talk to someone else
With that, Joy hung up.
Anabel frowned. ‘Is Joy too good at acting, or is she not rted to Matthew?
After some thought, Anabel called Athena.
It was the fifth call when Athena answered. Her voice was even gentler than Joy’s. “Who is this?”
Anabel would have been jealous of Athena if she weren’t outstanding enough herself.
Athena is an 18–year–old girl with peerless looks and talent, with countless admirers and
supporters, yet she can still speak so gently without the slightest arrogance. How good is her
upbringing and character? Anabel thought, If Matthew took a fancy to Athena, it would be
reasonable.” N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Anabel also said softly, I’m Matthew’s… friend. I want to meet you and talk about Matthew
On the other end of the phone, Athena pulled a long face. As she investigated the call, she asked
curiously, “Are you talking about Mr. Graham from Graham Group?
“I don’t know him well. I’ve only helped him with some technical problems. We’ve dined together
twice. What do we have to
talk about?
“Also, who are you? Do we know each other?”
Hmph, tricking me? Athena thought. You’d better know yourself
Anabel deliberately said hoarsely. “Miss Donovan, although you and Matthew are careful, you can’t
wrap fire in paper.
She dropped a bombshell. “What I want to tell you is rted to the death of Matthew’s mother. Even
Matthew doesn’t know
C
about it. You won’t regret it if youe.”
Anabel believed Athena would take the bait if Athena had a special rtionship with Matthew.
Athena was stunned on the other end of the line, wondering, “Is it rted to Maggie’s falling from
the top floor?
‘Fuck, what is the point of telling me about this instead of talking to Matthew? Also, why doesn’t she
dare to reveal her name? Athena swore inwardly. Does she think I’m only eightech and easy to
fool?”
Athena said unhappily, I don’t know who you are, but I’m unfamiliar with Mr. Graham. It’s improper
for me to ask about his private matters. I hope you won’t disturb me again.”
At the same time, she found the caller’s identity information and was secretly surprised.
Anabel Powell! Anabel called me and wanted to trick me, huh? Athena sneered inwardly, ‘How
cunning. No wonder Matthew doesn’t want to have a direct conflict with her.
When Anabel heard that, she thought, ‘Could it be that Athena and Matthew have nothing to do
with each other?
She tried again. “Are you sure you don’t want to know about my rtionship with Matthew? I know
he has a red mole on his side waist. It’s sexy”
Athena wanted to curse. “What’s the big deal of knowing Matthew has a red mole on his waist? I’ve
even touched Matthew’s hald head”
Athena said calmly, I don’t know you, but you’re talking to me about Mr. Graham’s private matters.
That’s not good.
“I won’t be a part of this gossip. Goodbye.”
Athena hung up the phone and thought angrily that she would knock some sense into her if Anabel
called again. However, it also meant that Anabel was approaching the truth
Although Athena wasn’t afraid of Anabel or the Powell family, she had a family. Athena had to
consider her family even if she didn’t think for herself.
Therefore, Athena quickly left Kitmore City and went to the Institute of Physics to focus on the
research. She had to avoid Anabel for the time being.
