She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter

74

The reporters were stunned, and even the elders and elites of the Graham family were astonished.

Richard said. "Matthew, you need to clarify everything and give everyone in the Graham family and the shareholders an explanation."

"If you've really hired someone to pretend to be Lairy and deceive the public, you should resign from the board and leave the Graham Group" a middle-aged woman stated.

A man remarked. "Matthew is a madman. There's nothing he wouldn't do I wouldn't be surprised if this were true."

Despite the barrage of accusations and criticism, Matthew remained calm. He even unscrewed a bottle of water and drank it slowly, letting everyone else argue and shout.

A full minute passed, and after the crowd's emotions had somewhat subsided, Matthew finally stared at the old man questioning him and said, "Uncle Richard, any rational person would know that a face-to-face video call can't be faked, yet Te insisting my sister is an imposter, even with all this evidence. What's your agenda?"

Richard I sneered, "I've watched Lucy grow up and worked with her for years. I could recognize her even if she were reduced to ashes. You can fool others, but you can't fool me with that imposter." "Reduced to ashes? That comment stirred some murmurs among the crowd.

A man said, "I heard that Richard and Lucy are archenemies. Looks like it's true."

Another man stated, "They say the person who knows you best is your enemy. No one else sees it, but Richard does."

Matthew ignored the gossip and continued to stare at Richard. 1 grew up with my sister. I know her better than you ever could. I can vouch for all my positions in Graham Group. The person in that video just now was my sister. Your accusation is nothing but groundless

nonsense.

Richard slammed his cane on the floor and shouted, "And I'll also swear on my position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board that the woman in that video was definitely not Lucy! If you're not hiding something, bring Lucy here and let everyone see for themselves whether she's alive or dead, healthy or gravely ill, clear-headed or mentally unstable!" The entire room fell silent.

Both men held real power within the Graham Group. The older one represented the traditional forces of the past generation, while the younger one spoke for the rising new talent. This was a showdown, and who would come out on top? Matthew's v's gaze turned cold and emotionless as he said. "Uncle Richard, what you're saying now about me and my sister is nothing short of defamation. It's even an insult to both of us. I've always believed that words alone are meaningless. Do you have the guts to sign an agreement with me in front of all these reporters and the elders? If I can convince my sister to come hold to Valemont City and prove to everyone that she's healthy and fully capable, you'll step down from every position you in the Graham Group, If not, I'll resign from all my positions in the Graham Group" The crowd was in an uproar.
