She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 288

Neil did not take Archie's words to heart. He instructed him, "Help me keep an eye on these two girls. If you discover that they have crossed the line with Matthew, inform me in time."

Anabel had just arrived in Valemont City when the company transferred him to Uroterin. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that someone must be behind this.

Strangely, even the Powell family could not find out who was behind this.

Also, before Anabel went to Uroterin for her assignment, she specially visited Nicolas and Neil, implicitly mentioning that Matthew had a woman he cared about so much. The various rumors he had previously spread might have been to protect her. All of this caught the attention of the Graham family.

Archie was very happy. "Grandpa, don't worry. Matthew belongs to Anabel only. I won't let him be seduced by another

woman.

However, Athena and Joy rarely attended classes and were usually elusive. He seldom saw them, and whenever he sent people to fellow them, they often lost them. He had no idea what they were usually busy with.

By the end of September, they had even disappeared.

Joy left Kitmore City to participate in Franco's archaeological activities.

On the other hand, Athena was preparing to leave Kitmore City for a while under the guise of participating in a scientific research project.

Just before her business trip, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived. The family prepared a large table of delicious food, and everyone gathered together to eat, drink, and celebrate the holiday.

Just the thought of not being able to enjoy her mother's fresh dishes once she left made Athena want to eat a month's worth in one go. She stuffed her bag with as many homemade cookies, cured meats, rice dishes, and pickled vegetables as she could. Strangely, Maria, who usually ate a lot, barely touched her food. She almost didn't eat any meat and didn't even touch the pancakes or cookies.

Athena curiously asked her, "Maria, are you not feeling well? Is that why you're eating so little?"

If that's really the case, she needed to take care of Maria.

Maria shook her head, her eyes fixated on the meat on her plate. "I'm on a diet, so I have to strictly control what I eat."
