She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter

68

As Athena read the article, her face grew solemn. It was reported that Lucy had been in a horrible car accident five years ago that left her paralyzed. However, the news had been suppressed by Matthew. Five years later, Lucy's condition had deteriorated drastically, bringing her to the brink of death. Matthew reached out to the renowned Dr. Annie for his sister's

treatment.

At the same time, Matthew secretly arranged for his rumored new girlfriend to meet Lucy, indicating that his sister's condi condition was dire. Although t the news was fabricated, the details about Lucy's critical condition and Dr. Annie's involvement were true, and both pieces of information were confidential. Who could I have leaked this information?' Athena wondered, furrowing her brow,

Dr. Annie's research teary consisted entirely of individuals she had personally trained and selected, and she had absolute trust in them. As for Matthew, he had managed to keep his sister's condition a secret for five years, which showed that those around him were- trustworthy. Regardless, the leak of such information during Lucy's critical state was to her detriment and showed malicious intent.

While Athena was deep in thought, the headlines of related news stories kept popping up, making her head spin. "The Graham family receives news of Lucy's critical condition, demanding Matthew to return to Valemont for questioning."

"Matthew Graham out of reach: Both his and his secretary's phones are turned off."

Matthew's assistant claims the reports on Lucy Graham are false; Matthew is en route to visit his sister."

"Matthew's legal team sends out hundreds of cease-and-desist letters, demanding immediate removal of false reports about Miss Graham; Matthew reserves the right to sue."

The news kept pouring in, dominating headlines across major websites and social media, sparking a frenzy among netizens. Strangely, these reports were constantly being deleted or suppressed, only to resurface and gain even more traction. It was clear that two opposing forces were at work-one trying to suppress the news while the other was trying to amplify it. Athena pondered for a moment then stood up and walked to the backyard to call Louis. However, before she could make the call, Freya reached her first. "Louis called to inform me that there are many false reports about the patient online. The Graham family strongly demands that Miss Graham make a public clarification, putting pressure on Mr. Graham, Freya reported.
