She Outshines 250
Chapter 250
Two dayster.
Athena finished her final exams. As soon as she left the school building, she saw Matthew sitting in
his car, wearing sunsses
Athena raised her hand to cover her mouth and giggled as she jogged over. She asked him through
the car window, “When did you get back?”
Matthew took off his sunsses. “I just arrived in Valemont City this morning and stayed at home for
the entire afternoon. Then, I came over to see you and wanted to treat you to a meal. I also wanted
to tell you about something good that happened at my house.”
He paused slightly and said regretfully, “I also want to celebrate your 19th birthday with you.”
“Oh.” Athena replied and waved her hand nonchntly. “It’s fine. Actually, I don’t celebrate birthdays
very often. You were kind to remember, and that’s enough.”
Athena was a Falix Moon just like her father.
She celebrated her birthday in theboratory. The bionic robots made her a birthday cake, using
data to get the perfect taste. It ended up tasting like an ordinary cake.
Athena and her colleagues finished the cake but also praised the robots for doing a good job with
the cake.
Matthew smiled. “Miss Donovan, I believe that being born in this world is a very important and
beautiful thing. I hope to celebrate this day with you every year.”
Athena blushed for a moment and touched her cheek. “You’re quite slick with your words…”
Matthew said, “If you don’t like to hear such words then I’ll keep quiet.”
Athena quickly said, “As long as you really believe them, then you can continue…”
Matthew smiled and leaned forward to open the passenger door. “Miss Donovan, there are too
many people here. I won’t be getting out of the car.”
Athena quickly ran over and got into the passenger seat. After putting on her seatbelt, her eyes kept
ncing at Matthew. She couldn’t get enough of him.
Matthew also looked at her as he drove and their eyes met. Athena blushed, and Matthew’s face
also turned suspiciously red. They both looked away, but continued ncing at each other.
The back-and-forth gazes continued. Athena and Matthew were drawn to each other and couldn’t
get enough of another.
Louis sat in the back seat. He carefully leaned into the door the whole ride, not even daring to
breathe loudly.

He pondered on how he used to enjoy watching such cute scenes, but now, for some reason, he felt
like the third wheel. It was so unnecessary and needed to end quickly…
After an unknown period of time, they finally arrived at the revolving restaurant Matthew had
booked.
To Athena’s surprise, Matthew actually put on an apron, a mask, and a chef’s hat. He cooked steak
and pasta for her on the
spot.
She said in surprise, “I thought you didn’t know how to cook.”

Matthew smiled. “I learned how to fry steak a long time ago. I only learned how to make pasta
recently.”
After frying the steak and making the pasta, he even brought out a medium-sized cake. “I made this
myself.”
The cake said, “Happy 19th Birthday
This was the best birthday present he could give Athena.

a’s mouth widened slightly. “Oh…”
e also wanted tough with Matthew, but she felt that this wasn’t the right thing to do. She could
only pretend to be urprised. How did he get poisoned?”
“Someone poisoned him.” Matthew smiled. “I was nning to return to the country in the next two
days. After receiving this news, Vimmediately came back just to show everyone how filial I am.”
The way he’s telling the story… I really want tough, but I won’t dare,’ Athena thought.
Matthew could be disrespectful to his father, but as an outsider, Athena could not gloat at Nics’
misfortune.
Matthew told the story in a very rxed tone. “Nics had dinner at 6:30 in the evening. At that
time, there was nothing abnormal. It was not until around 8 o’clock that he suffered from abdominal
pain, vomiting, dizziness, weakness in his limbs, and skin allergies. Then, he slowly fell into aa.
“Our private doctor rushed over and concluded that he was poisoned.
“After a night of tests, the doctor found the traces of more than a dozen drugs in his blood and
vomit. Nics overdosed on a concoction of Baltux, Skobix pills, Teteson, Myxotan, Eusmine,
Praglone, and many others.”
At this point, Matthew poured champagne for Athena regretfully. “Unfortunately, the doctor arrived
on time. Nics’ life is not in danger. However, this is the first time the doctor has encountered such
a situation, so I’m not sure when my dad will wake up, nor am I sure if there will be any seque.”
Athena wanted tough even more. She felt so ufortable holding it in.
Matthew just mentioned Skobix pills. Put simply, Nics had ingested an SKB pill, a fast-acting
contraceptive.
Whoever drugged Nics was slick for mixing so many random medicines and discreetly giving
them to Nics.
Even Athena had never seen such a case.
Matthew continued, “The Graham family checked. These drugs were ingested at Nics’ family
dinner because traces of the medicines were found in the soup, water, cake, and other food and
drinks.”
“Nics’ wife and daughter, including some of the Graham family’s servants, also had traces of
these medicines in their systems. It’s just that they didn’t take much medicine and there were no
obvious symptoms.”
“Nics ingested the most drugs. Whoever drugged him knows his favorite food and drinks very
well and knew exactly what he would eat that day.”

Chapter 250
Matthew looked at Athena and said leisurely, “I was thinking of leaving you, Dr. Annie, over to treat
Nics, or perhaps ask Lockwood to investigate Nics’ case?”
Athena pursed her lips and smiled. “Have you thought it through?”
“I think if you want to go, you can go. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go.” Matthew smiled
strangely. “If Dr. Annie doesn’t want to go, then Nics will continue on bedrest and suffer. I’m okay
with seeing it happen.
“If Dr. Annie is willing to go and examine him, I will take the opportunity to extort Nics for arge
sum of treatment fees. I will also obtain a good reputation for being filial, I won’t lose out either way.
“As for whether Lockwood is willing to take on this case, it depends on what she wishes to do.”
Athena tilted her head and thought for a moment. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “I’ll go! Uh, I
think Dr. Annie would want to go. Tell the Graham family that tomorrow Dr. Annie…
“No, let’s go over tonight. It’ll show your filial piety.”
The reason why she was willing to help Matthew was because of their friendship. She wanted to
help him gain a good reputation for being “filial.”
Secondly, she was curious about Nics’ special case and wanted to take the opportunity to learn. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
She was also curious to see what the renowned, magnificent Graham estate looked like. The one
ce famous for people with tragic characteristics.
Matthew smiled. “Then I’ll have to trouble you and ask you to contact Dr. Annie and thank her on my
behalf.”
