She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 480

Athena felt really tired, exhausted both physically and mentally

She took out some chocolate from her bag and a thermos, slowly eating and drinking to regain her strength.

Joy slowly rotated the coffee cup in her hand, "I must admit, you are indeed a genius. I might have truly lost to you She had never felt so defeated in her life and this feeling was too unbearable

"So, after figuring all this out, what do you want me to do?" Joy asked with a hint of mockery. "Do you want me to acknowledge my ancestors, kneel before the Donovan family, cry, and beg for forgiveness?

look of surprise flashed across Joy's face, and the repulsion eased a little. "So, what
