She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 108

It was half past six.

Athena approached the cruise restaurant's top floor in high heels. She was wearing a floral dress. She

immediately saw Matthew standing against the railing with his hack facing her. He was dressed in a well-fitting

black suit. He had a noble temperament and an elegant bearing. His long legs were especially eye-catching. His

charm was astounding. Athena felt like drawing him.

Matthew seemed to be telepathic. As soon as she appeared, he turned around. He had a faint smile.

The setting sun shone on him, outlining his frin golden hues

Louis was peeping at them from the side. He silently cheered Matthew on. He looked like he was about to cry.

Yet another physical contact.

Matthew allowed Athena to touch his head again.

said, "Your hair grows very fast. When your hair grows even longer, | will miss your shaved head.

Matthew smiled. "If you like, | can always shave my head and wear a wig when necessary."

Athena chuckled. "No need. You'll look good with longer hair too

The dishes were also served consecutively.

Matthew raised his glass. "Thank you for the crscene investigation report. It's useful. | know where to start

Athena raised her glass. "How do you plan to investigate!"

There was a pause before he continued, "I've already asked someone to trace all the purchase records, track

down all the buyers, and find out who's related to my sister or the Graham family." Athena nodded. "Based on

my experience and intuition, if the murderer is a woman, it might be related to relationship problems. then

accomplices.

That was why Athena liked to talk to Matthew.

There was a tacit understanding between them. There was no need to explain too much to the other party.

"Great minds think alike," Matthew said with admiration. He had the sthought.

Matthew said, "I suspect one person was responsible for finding and bribing the truck driver. Another person paid

for it. A third person installed explosives on the driver and the truck. Another person used a drone to capture the

car accident." He paused momentarily before saying, "Of course, there aren't necessarily four murderers, but

there should be more than

two.

Athena nodded and asked curiously, "With all these clues, could you narrow in on the suspects?"

Matthew turned the glass in his hand. His gaze was bottomless. There are many people with various motives. |

He shook his head before continuing. It's just that | can't think of a single female murderer linked to relationship

problems."

Athena blinked. "Why? If it involves romance, it should be easier to identify the suspect."

She then waved her hand. "Oh, it's alright if you don't say anything as it's your sister's privacy"

Matthew did not speak immediately. He passed Athena her favorite food before pouring more champagne for her.

His voice was low as he said, "There's no information forto hold back. The media has already exposed all my

sister's relationships." He said. "My sister was 20 years old when she broke up with the popular singer, Mavis

King, and married the heir of the top cruise company in the industry."

He sighed. "Mavis passed away three years later. My sister got a divorce using her husband's infidelity as an

excuse. She swore she would never marry again. She successfully divorced him and devoted herself

wholeheartedly to her work." Matthew looked | at her. "You were still young then, so you probably wouldn't have

paid attention to such entertainment gossip."

"I have an impression of what happened, Athena recalled. "At that time, | idolized your sister. She was

astonishingly beautiful and capable. Despite being young, she managed such a big company so well."

She then pursed her lips. "At that time, like many people, | felt her ex-husband had poor taste in women. He

didn't know how to appreciate his wife, but he fell in love with a female celebrity who was a money-grubber and

had past scandals with wealthy men. She even ended up bearing a male child together with him." She shut up

abruptly. "I'm sorry. | said too much."

All these matters were Lucy's privacy. She should not say it in front of Matthew.

Matthew smiled. "I was the one who asked you to treat my sister and helpinvestigate the murderer. | should

Louis had reminded him that their relationship could only take another step forward only by being honest with

each other. 12:28 Sat, Ocl 12

Matthew felt that it was special. He knew Athena's secret and Athena knew his

The light in his eyes dimmed as if dark clouds were forming inside them. His blank eyes looked like the lights in

the world were off, leaving only endless darkness.

His gaze and low voice enthralled Athena. It was as if he had crossed the river of memories and was trapped in

Athena listened quietly and sighed in her heart.

Mavis's songs were timeless. Many singers still covered his songs His relationship with Lucy was still a hot topic

Everyone felt sympathetic towards the unfated lovers.

Mavis's sudden and untimely death at the height of his popularity was even more lamentable.

Matthew looked at Athena and asked, "Do you know why my mother left all her shares to my sister and not me?"
