She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 208 Athena was stunned. "How did you know someone was staying in our old house at night!"

When her dad first started working at Hard Property, he often put in extra hours. Sometimes, he would go to the old house during his lunch break, and other times, he would stay there overnight. But two months ago, her dad became a full-time employee. Now, the management and operations at Bard Property were running smoothly. The company even got him a driver, so he didn't have to work late very often anymore. In other words, her dad hardly ever went back to the old house now, Who could it be then? Athena wondered.

The old man was confused about what was happening, but he said to her, "The house is always lit up at night, but I never see anyone coming out. Sometimes, when we try to find someone and ask the people in the house for help with fixing the water pipes and light bulbs, no matter how hard we knock, no one answers. Sometimes, the lights are even off. We thought your family got rich and doesn't want to get along with neighbors like us Athena's

"No way." Athe expression did not change. "Maybe our relatives secretly moved in. Even we don't know." "Leon, when did you see my house lights on at night? How long do they usually stay on?!

Leon thought for a moment and said, "It's only a few days before Advent Sunday. The lights only come on at eight or nine in the evening.

Athena believed that the person who dared to sneak into their old house was not stupid and would not leave any clues easily. Therefore, she did not continue asking. After thanking Leon, she went upstairs. The building had a steel door that needed either a key or a password to get in. The old house had a fingerprint lock that was really hard to force open. Athena couldn't figure out how the person who quietly moved into her house managed to open both of these doors. Arriving at t at the entrance of the old house, Athena examined the combination lock carefully. It showed no signs of having been pried open or vandalized violently. 'Did they tell our relatives the password and let them stay for the moment? she wondered. But no one mentioned it to mendonedin her.

She unlocked the door and entered, carefully observing the house.

The house had not changed much and was very clean. However, there were indeed some personal necessities, such as shoes, towels, toothbrushes, cups, kettles, and so on. There were even some men's clothes hanging in the room where the male in her family lived. There were also extra suitcases, backpacks, and so on. They looked very old She was certain that the person who had sneaked in was a young man. He was very careful not to dry his clothes on the balcony.

In addition, nothing was stolen or destroyed. It seemed that the person was quite protective of the house.

After observing, Athena sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought

She thought there was no need to call the police. She just wanted to catch the person and ask him for the reasons.

But how am I going to catch him? Asking Daniel to wait here? She shook her head quickly.

Daniel was undergoing training and often went on business trips. She didn't want to bother him with such a small thing. So she decided to stay there and wait by herself, She took out her laptop and started working on the coffee table. When she got hungry, she ate the pancakes in her bag.
