She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 145

"Miss Acevedo, you're being dramatic," Anabel chuckled. "I'm a law-abiding citizen. I wouldn't do something like that"

Instead of looking relieved, Madalyn pressed on with her questions. "You mean ruin my looks? Lock me up? Hire someone to take nude photos of me? Or leave me disabled?" Anabel laughed lightly. "Miss Acevedo, your imagination is quite vivid. But it's not vivid enough."

She sipped her coffee slowly. For example, you might imagine that Matthew loves you so much that the Graham and Powell families wouldn't dare to touch you, but they could go after the people around you. Of course, you could choose to live a solitary life, having nothing but Matthew. "No family, no relatives, no friends, no colleagues, no servants, and so on."

"You can also picture everyone around you scheming against you, ensuring you never find peace, and so on."

Madalyn's expression hardened, and she pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Anabel poured out the cold coffee from Madalyn's cup and filled it with hot coffee. Then she asked nonchalantly, "Miss Acevedo, cam you agree to my terms?"

Madalyn didn't think long before she replied bluntly. "Sure.

"But I have to ask, if I divorce Matthew after we get married or if I leave him after having his child, can those three conditions be nullified?"

Anabel smiled. "My conditions are non-negotiable."

Madalyn closed her eyes for a moment and then said calmly, "I understand. I'll adhere to those three conditions."

"You're indeed a clever one," Anabel smiled. "You can go now."

Without saying another word, Madalyn quickly left the coffee shop, got into her car, and drove away. No one followed her.

Instead of returning to her previous apartment, she checked into a hotel, sleeping soundly until dawn. Afterward, while taking a bath, she called Louis and recounted the details of her meeting with Anabel.

Once Louis finished listening, he ended the speakerphone call and turned to Matthew.

Matthew remained silent, walking to the window, hands casually tucked into his pockets, gazing down at the blue lake outside, deep in thought.
