She Outshines 206

Chapter 206 When Athena returned to Kitmore City, the celebration of Advent Sunday was almost over. She really wanted to come back before Advent Sunday to celebrate Josie’s fifth birthday and spend Advent Sunday with her entire family. But there was nothing she could do. The ruin that was discovered this time covered a large area and was at the bottom of the sea, making the research very challenging. It was even more difficult to crack the prehistoric traps. In addition, other organizations insisted on joining them after arriving, causing constant disputes along the way. This delayed the research even further. After the research ended, everyone was exhausted and in a tertiile state. She also took a few days to rest before barely managing to regain her energy She returned on a private jet and wasn’t sure when she would get home. It was only mentioned that she would arrive on the afternoon or evening of the 3rd At five o’clock in the afternoon, she first returned to her private apartment and dr Mid-Level Mountain Garden. On the way, it felt like everything was fine except for the traffic jams and the crowds. But when she arrived at the community gates, she sensed that something was off. She thought, “It feels like someone is staring at me. She slowed down the car, wound down the window, and looked around. off her luggage before driving to As it was a holiday, there were quite a lot of people and cars around. There were also a lot of hidden spots. The sky was slightly dark, and it affected visibility. She observed carefully for a while and did not find anything, so she had no choice but to enter the neighborhood first. Lights were already on in the main building of the villa. Faint sounds of the television and cheerful voices could be heard. One could imagine how warm it was inside. Athena was not in a hurry to greet anyone. Instead, she parked the car before walking toward the

main building. The door to the main building was open. She walked into the foyer and changed her shoes, smiling as she said, “Hi, everybody. I’m back.” The initially lively living room instantly fell silent, leaving only the sound of the television. Everyone turned to look at her all at once. They then stood up in unison and walked over to welcome her. “Athena, you’re back! Have a seat and rest first. Your dad and I will bring out the food. We can start eating shortly “Welcome back. You’ve been away for so long this time. It must have been tough on you, right? Let me give you a shoulder massage” “Athena, drink some water. 1/4 Chapter 200 “Have some blueberties Athena. They are sweet, tart, and really listy It was Josie who rushed over first, presenting a large plate of blueberries with both hands. Athena took the plate of blueberries with one hand and stroked Josie’s head with the other, saying, “I’m sorry. I couldn’t make it back in time for your fifth birthday party” “It’s alright.” Josie waved magnanimously. Tm still young. I can sill celebrate many more birthdays in the future. Just come to my birthday party next time “It’s a deal” Athena held her hand and walked into the living roum. As she sat down, she looked around. “Ts Zayn not back “Zayn could have come back before Advent Sunday, but one of the lead actors got injured and needs about a week to recover, which delays the wrap-up.” “Oh.” Athena nodded. “We should be able to celebrate Christmas together then.” Alaric rubbed the side of his neck and sighed. “The whole family is here, except for Brandon. If only he could come back for Christmas” The lively atmosphere instantly turned cold for a few seconds.

Alaric knew that he had created an awkward moment. He quickly patted his chest and looked at Athena expectantly. “Athena, did you notice anything different when you entered earlier?” The entire family looked at him from the corner of their eyes with an annoyed expression, thinking. ‘Here we go again Athena smiled and played along, saying, “I saw a new car in the garage. Whose new car is it? Alaric blinked. “Make a guess. Athena pretended to think seriously for a few seconds. “Maria’s workplace is rather far. Is it a car that you all bought for her?” Maria pursed her lips and smiled. “Nope. I haven’t had time to learn how to drive yet. Unable to hold back any longer, Alaric burst out laughing. He raped his fist proudly. “Of course, it’s my new car!” Athena played along again and asked, “How come you have a new car? Did you win it in a tennis tournament?” The car was not bad. It was worth tens of thousands of dollars. Without waiting for Alaric to boast, Arthur kicked him in frustration. “He must’ve had some ridiculous luck. Not long after joining the tennis club, a few companies took a liking to him and insisted on signing him as their spokesperson in advance…” Arthur said something that Alaric wanted to say, so Alaric hurried to show off even faster, saying, “Well, what can I say? I’m tall, handsome, and have a great image! The club held a networking event. When the clients saw my confident appearance while playing tennis, they praised me endlessly and said I would definitely have great achievements in the future. They wanted to seize the opportunity to sign me before I become famous, lest I become too expensive to sign in the future.” At this point, he pulled out his chest and raised his chin, looking like he was waiting for praise. The endorsement fee they gave me was quite high, he continued. “The club was very happy and decided to reward me with a car so that I could drive to the club to train or participate in competitions in the future.” “What’s with the smugness” Arthur gave him another kick. “You have to achieve good results to

actually earn that endorsement money. Otherwise, you’ll still be broke.” “Tsk, I knew you were jealous of me.” Alaric made a face at him. “You’re short and petty. Nyah, nyah, nyah!” ||| B8% Chapter 200 The male siblings of the Dogovan family were all above & Fert if inches tall. However, Arthur was exactly 3 feet 10 inches tall, making him the shortest. Alaric was 6 feet 2 inches tall, making him the tallest. The issue of height was brought up, and Arthur looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He then rolled up his sleeves. “If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll forget that you’re the youngest boy in the family!” The two of them started chasing each other and roughhousing in the living room again, making everyone shake their heads as they watched. When three women got together, it was bound to be a lively conversation, but in their family, two men equal a ruckus Athena retracted her gaze and looked at Josie’s head, asking curiously, “Josie, did you get a haircut?” Josie’s previous hairstyle was a doll-like cut with blunt bangs, and her hair length just covered her ears. Now, her hair was noticeably cut shorter, “It’s Sasha’s fault!” she said. Speaking of this Josie’s chubby cheeks puffed up, looking quite angry. “The school held an Advent Sunday party. The children all said my singing was the best. Many people voted for me. I got first place while Sasha got second. Sasha was mad and insisted fluit her singing was the best, demanding that I give up my first place. I refused, and then she took a candle and tried to burn my hair!” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Athena frowned upon hearing that. “What she did was really dangerous. She could easily hurt you. Didn’t the teacher care? Sasha doesn’t know her limits and is unreasonable, she thought It’s a bit dangerous Josie tugged at her hair and said in a somewhat aggrieved manner. “The teacher criticized Sasha Sasha apologized to me, and her butler also apologized to me, but I feel that she will still bully me in the future. Athena patted her head and said seriously, “You’ve had a tough time. Sasha could really hurt you. You must stay far away from her in the future. Try not to get into a conflict with her. If there is a conflict, you must protect yourself “Okay.” Josie nodded obediently. “Sasha and I were in the same class, but she kept bullying me, so the teacher moved me to the Bunny Class. We hardly argue now! Athena asked again, “Do you want us to switch you to another school?” Josie thought for a moment and said, “I don’t like Sasha, but I’ve made a lot of friends in kindergarten: I can’t bear to be separated from them.” Athena knew that frequent moving and changing of environments could be detrimental for children when it came to making friends and could lead to a lack of security. So, she did not say much and simply said, “Alright, if Sasha crosses the line again and bullies you, just let me know. I have a way to deal with her.” She thour thought, “Sasha seems to come from a well-off family. To deal with tough people, you need someone tougher. To handle wealthy people, you need someone even wealthier. This kind of thing is best left to me. At this moment, Wesley’s voice came from the kitchen. The food is ready. Come over and let’s dig in It was time for a happy dinner. With the delicious home-cooked meal in front of them, nothing could divert the family’s attention. 324
