She Outshines Them All

She Outshines 233

Matthew left just like that.

Anabel, who had received the news, was so angry that her eyes turned red. She kept slapping the folder on the table, making

the office buzz.

Anabel complained. “I just came to Valemont City and only had a working lunch with Matthew. But he left for Motireland the next day. He must do it on purpose!

“The two families are friends and business partners. I visited his family regularly 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 to come 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 minutes later, 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 placed 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 relationship with him. they wanted to know his relationships 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 Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Anabel wanted to use this method to lure out the woman who had a romantic relationship 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 playing dumb. Just drop the act!’ Anabel sneered in her heart but said sincerely, “Miss Lambert, I know what your relationship 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 related 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.”

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 related to the death of Matthew’s mother. Even Matthew doesn’t know

C

about it. You won’t regret it if you come.”

Anabel believed Athena would take the bait if Athena had a special relationship with Matthew.

Athena was stunned on the other end of the line, wondering, “Is it related 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 relationship 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.
