She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 258 Athena had been on the phone with Ryan all the way. So, Ryan could hear everything Brandon said in the car. Brandon's

voice was cold, ruthless, and murderous. "Elsie was Zayn's high school classmate. At that time, Zayn was the class monitor, and Elsie was the cheerleader. They interacted quite often because of work. "Not long after the first semester of the second year started, Elsie told Zayn that the school bully, Ben, often waited for her at the school gate after she left the study hall and badgered her to liang out with him. Sometimes, Ben even made a move on her. Elsie said she was scared. So So she asked Zayn if he could escort her home at night. Zayn agreed." Athena asked as she drove, "Isn't Kitmore High School a boarding school? Why didn't Zayn and Elsie stay in school apartments!"

Brandon said. "Kitmore High School is near the neighborhood where we used to live. The academic atmosphere at Kitmore High School wasn't good then, and puppy love was everywhere. Elsie's mother, Kerise, was afraid that she would fall in love at a young age and didn't allow her to stay in school Moreover, Elsie's home was not far from the school. She could reach by bicycle in seven to eight minutes, so she didn't sleep in the school apartment. "Zayn didn't live in the school apartment because the boys' dormitory in Kitmore High School was noisy. They often had conflicts. Zayn didn't want his studies to be affected, so he chose to go home to sleep. Athena asked

Lagain, "Wasn't Elsie's mother worried that something bad would happen to Elsie on her way home at night?" Zayn said, "Kerise is a single mother. It's said she worked long hours every day and had a difficult life. Elsie couldn't bear to make Kerise worry, so she never told Kerise about these things.

It wasn't hard to imagine what happened afterward.

the incident, Ben and the other three boys had drunk. It was late at night, and no one else was around, so they stopped Zayn and Elsie, insisting that Elsie go to the bar with them. Otherwise, they would not let Zayn and Elsie pass) stood in in front of them and let Elsie go past first.

His actions angered Ben. Ben took out a knife and stabbed Zayn, Zayn's arm was injured, and he wanted to snatch the knife from Ben. In the end, it was just as he said.

This matter had caused a sensation then. Initially, Elsie told the truth, stating that Zayn had acted bravely to save her.

"As the person involved, as long as Elsie told the truth, Zayn would be fine." Brandon's sharp face looked even more fierce and malicious. "However, we never expected her to change her words in just two days. She said Zayn had a crush on her and kept badgering her. She lied that Zayn confessed his love for her, but she rejected him. Hence, Zayn was irritated and vented his anger at Ben, the victim. also said that Zayn had secretly threatened her. She lied earlier because she was afraid."

She a

It was melodramatic. However, it was so dramatic because there were too many cases like that in real life.

Athena asked, "Is Ben's family rich?

Brandon nodded. "His family is quite wealthy and has some powerful connections. Otherwise, he couldn't do whatever he wanted in school.

"Of course, our family wouldn't accept such slander. We called the police and let them investigate this case."
