She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 452

The lanterns were lit up first and the Graham family mansion was brought to life. Almost all the guests had arrived, except for Matthew and the Donovan family.

Everyone was guessing. "I heard that Mr. Matthew and Mr. Nicolas' relationship has deteriorated recently. Mr. Matthew insisted on being with Athena, but Mr. Nicolas didn't allow it."Mr. Nicolas even wanted to hold a board meeting to impeach Mr. Matthew. Will Mr. Matthew skip the event because of this?"

A guest added, "His father's health isn't good, and it's his 65th birthday. If Mr. Matthew doesn't even attend his father's birthday banquet because of a woman, he's just disloyal, heartless, and unfilial. He's not worthy of being Graham Group's leader!" Someone said, "Even Neil is here. If Matthew doesn't come, it will be a slap in the face to the entire Graham family..."

Such thoughts were also the thoughts of most guests.

However, just as everyone thought this, they heard someone call out softly, "Mr. Graham is here!"

Everyone turned around and saw Matthew getting out of his Miracle and striding towards the mansion's entrance. However, when he reached the entrance, he stopped and did not step into the hall.

Someone greeted him and invited him in, but he said, "This is my girlfriend's first time at the Graham mansion. I have to wait for her here."

Everyone was in an uproar. They whispered, "Athena should know that the Graham family doesn't welcome her, right? Why would she dare come?"

It was already seven in the evening.

The butler said loudly into the microphone, "Mr. Graham has arrived. Guests, please come to the hall."

The guests looked at Matthew. It was not appropriate for them to stay in the courtyard, so they rushed into the hall.

Then, they saw Nicolas in the wheelchair and were shocked at how old he appeared. However, they remembered that he hadn't been seen for a few months.

Nicolas used to look elegant and handsome. His hair was thick and silky, and he had a great posture. His body exuded the charm of a mature and successful man who looked less than 50 years old.

However, the current Nicolas was far from his previous self. Half his hair was white, his face had thinned, and prominent wrinkles mapped his face. No matter how one looked at him, Nicolas looked like an old man in his sixties.

It seemed that the rumors about him being sick were not fake and were causing extreme harm to him.

Nicolas knew very well what the guests' gazes meant. The corners of his lips curled up, and his eyes were cold. He silently swore, 'This is Matthew's fault!'

He couldn't erase his appearance, so he had nothing to worry about.

Tonight, he would broadcast the Donovan family's documentary in front of more than a thousand celebrities and influential people. He would let everyone see what kind of nouveau riche family they were and how big the gap was between them and the Graham family. Then, he would mock the Donovan family and ruin Matthew's image.

He pondered, 'That's right, I have done this purely to mock Matthew and his girlfriend! Now, we'll see how Matthew will deal with this situation. How dare Matthew refute me in public, scold me and fallout with me?'

"Everyone..." Nicolas smiled sinisterly and pressed the play button. "Before the banquet officially begins, I would like to ask everyone to watch a documentary with me. A documentary about my son's girlfriend, Ath..." At this moment, there was a commotion at the door. "Athena is here!"
