She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 187

Alaric had outstanding talent and worked hard. He originally had a bright future ahead of him but his dreams

were destroyed suddenly. It was a cruel blow. Athena had no such experience but felt suffocated just thinking

about it. After moment of silence, she looked up at Alaric "Do you regret it?" Alaric

shook his head and looked out of the window in a daze. "I don't regret it. I'm just... devastated. | feel as though |

can't breathe.

It was ten o'clock in the morning. The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was just right. The world

seemed full of promise, just like him. However, there was no light in Alaric's eyes. Athena lowered her head and

continued to treat the wounds on his arm. "Are you willing to accept this? Do you want to turn them in?" them

in?

"I can't. Alaric shook his head, "When the coach askedto throw the match, we were the only ones in the

lounge. There were no witnesses and no recordings. Moreover, I'm insignificant. If | report them without sufficient

evidence, I'll be forced to apologize or be sued. My reputation will be ruined." Athena

still found it strange. "It's just a warm-up match. Why did Faraway Club have to lose to Hataland?"

Alaric said. "The coach said the club is sponsored by a company from Hataland. They can't accept Hataland's

National Basketball Team losing to the club. If the club wins, they will cancel the sponsorship. Besides, this is also

a test forby the chib

"Test?" Athena was bewildered. "What can they test you by asking you to throw the match?"

"Obedience. Alaric's eyes were filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said. "To put it bluntly, this is to test my

obedience. They require players to obey the club, be it right or wrong."

"How shameless and despicable!" Athena snapped. She cursed a bit more before asking. "When the coach

wanted to replace you, how did you convince him not to?"

"I threatened him," Alaric said coldly, "I said if he switchedout. I'd go all out and tell everyone right there and

then that he is forcingto throw the match. That way, we'll both lose. He got scared."

Athena nodded and began to treat the wound on his face. "What about the national team? Why didn't they

choose you?"

T

Alaric closed his eyes to hide his disappointment. There's suddenly a competitor from Aeloria. He's taller and

stronger than me. He also won the championship in Aeloria's college basketball league and has just turned 18.

The national team can only choose one of us. They couldn't decide for a long time.

"If I had the support and guarantee of the best local club, the probability of being selected would be very high."

Athena was silent for a moment. "What do you plan to do next? Do you still want to continue playing basketball?"

Alaric shook his head. "I don't want to anymore. When | go back to school, | will quit the basketball team and

focus on my studies. When | have time, I'll help Mom at the restaurant. Then, I'll think about what I want to do in

the future."

Atherta said, "Are you willing to give up on your dream just like that?"

Alaric sounded like he wanted to cry as he said, "I'm not happy about it but | won't complain. Jaden gave up his

life in the cuy and went back to the countryside to grow vegetables and care for Grandpa. Brandon always said

he is doing well in Aeloria, but we know he must be having a harder tthan anyone in this family.

"Zayn says the sthing, but we know he's at the front lines. He is in one of the most dangerous military units

probably risks his life constantly. Even Arthur and Maria gave up their studies to help the family."

Alaric opened his eyes and said seriously, Tm the only one who enjoys the love and care of the family but hasn't

contributed anything. This time, | might be able to help out."

Athena fell silent. It was not until she finished treating the wounds on Alaric's face that she placed her hand on

his shoulder and said seriously. "Alaric, trust me, God rewards hard work. He will not let down those who are

talented and hardworking. If this path is closed to you, there will be another path" Athena hada | already thought

of how to help Alaric.

However, if Alaric wanted to beca top athlete, he had to be strong mentally and optimistic. She needed time

to observe Alaric and see if he was worth it.

"Thanks, Athena," Alaric grinned. His anger seemed to have dissipated a lot. "The world is big, and I'm young. I'll

always find

new dream and a new future."

At this point, he stood up and walked to the window. He raised his arms and shouted, "From today onward, | will

find a new goal and start a new journey. My life is still wonderful!" Athena looked at his back and smiled. Without

saying anything else, she picked up the first aid kit and walked out of the

When Alaric went to school the next day, under everyone's admiring and then horrified gazes, he applied to

leave the school seam. The reason was that he had been injured in the gthe day before yesterday and had

developed a phobia of basketball. He could not play basketball anymore.

The coach tried his best to persuade him to stay. "If you quit the team, you won't be a sports student anymore.

You'll lose its privileges. Have you thought it through?"

"Yes, | know," Alaric said firmly, "I want to focus on my studies from now on. | don't want to play basketball

anymore."

The entire school was filled with regret, but the matter was already set in stone.
