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? Or do you want to take revenge on me, make me pay for what happened back then, ruin my reputation, and make my life miserable?"

Athena didn't immediately answer her question. Instead, she finished the rich, flavorful chocolate and drank half a cup of warm water before looking at Joy and saying. "If I tell you I actually understand your choices and actions back then, that I don't intend to blame you, and I don't hate you, would you believe me?"

Joy was surprised. After a few seconds, she smiled faintly and said. "Aren't you very concerned about the Donovan family? My choices back then had caused the Donovan family a lot of suffering. You should hate me

Athena calmly said, "You and I are twins, with many similarities. In essence, there's not much difference between us. If I found a place uninteresting or lacking what I wanted, I would make the same choice as you." Such a statement sounded cruel and cold.

However, for people like them, with high intelligence, strong willpower, and clear, grand goals, ordinary emotions, ethics, and morals, it didn't really constrain them.

Of course, they wouldn't challenge ordinary moral standards and rules unless necessary. Simply put, blending in with society was far easier to achieve success than being rejected by it
