She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter

142

People with high 10s, exceptional abilities, and grand ideals often focused on their own paths, making it hard for them to be influenced by societal norms and emotions. Athena was a perfect example of this.

However, hearing what Arthur had to say this time, she was shocked.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. All she could do was listen in silence. "What's even more infuriating is that she chose to disappear just as the wedding was starting, with hundreds of guests watching. She didn't even bother to show up, just sent someone to say she wasn't going to go through with it. Can you imagine how Jaden felt at that moment?

Athena replied earnestly. "Sh "She told me a lot about her past with Jaden."

She summarized what Linda had said to her in two minutes.

Then she added, "I don't believe her. I want to hear what our family has to say."

Arthur sniffled, wiping his face with his gloved hand. "Not everything she said is a lie, but she's too cunning, only sharing what benefits her and painting herself in a better light.

"I have to reveal her true nature to you so you can understand just how deep her scheming goes"
