She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 193

Athena was speechless. Alaric was young and always adorable. There was really nothing she could do about him.

She patted Alaric's head gently, as if she was coaxing a golden retriever. "Yeah, it's been tough on you."

"No, it's not hard, Alaric continued to cry. "As long as | can continue in play sports and participate in

competitions, I'm willing to suffer no matter how tough it is. 1-1 simply didn't expert | would be able to turn

things around. It feels like Ive obtained a new lease of life." Alaric's buddies who cto celebrate his birthday

were speechless at this sight. Alaric was already an adult, yet he was still crying in his sister's arms. It was

embarrassing. However, they also envied him for having such a close relationship with an outstanding sister.

Fortunately, Alaric only cried for several minutes before he stopped. He let go of Athena and wiped his tears with

his sleeve. He acted as if nothing happened and turned to his buddies. "It's my birthday today. Mom has

prepared a lot of delicious food. You guys should ctoo." Alaric's buddies cheered, "H****y for Alarie's mom!"

Then, everyone split into two groups, One group sat in Athena's ear while the others took the taxi. They headed

to Donovan's Restaurant in a grandiose manner.

the

Donovan's Restaurant was also full today. However, there was a sign hanging at the entrance of the restaurant

that read. "It's the boss's son's birthday tonight. The restaurant will be closed from 7 p.m.

Apart from their grandparents who were still in the hospital, everyone who could make it came. Even Jaden came

from the countryside to make a few of his best dishes.

Everyone squeezed around the table in the largest private room, enjoying the delicacies while wishing Alaric a

happy birthday. Only then did Alaric proudly announce to everyone that he had signed with the tennis club and

would soon. beca professional tennis player. Everyone present knew tennis was Alaric's favorite sport. They

stood up and cheered for him, giving him hugs and kisses while sincerely congratulating him on getting what he

wanted. Claire said, "It's a double blessing. I'll make an exception this tand allow you to drink alcohol. You

can drink whatever you want, as long as you don't overdo it."

After t that, they celebrated in the private room, playing cards and joking around. They played plenty of games

and partied

hard. nard.

Because they didn't have tto surf the Internet, they didn't know that while they were having fun, the

Faraway Club, which had ruined Alaric's basketball dream, was in big trouble.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, many Intecelebrities, marketing accounts, and online media received

screenshots of the email exchange between the Faraway Club, the sponsor from Hataland, and the higher-ups of

Hataland's second National Basketball Team. The screenshots clearly showed that the sponsor from Hataland

had requested Faraway Club to compete with Hataland's second National Basketball Team in a warm-up and

friendly match but had to lose, or they would cancel all their sponsorship. Hataland's second National Basketball

Team also made it clear u Faraway Club that they definitely could not lose to them.

The Faraway Club, on the other hand, said that as long as it was not an official natch, they would satisfy their

requirements.. After Hataland's second National Basketball Team lost to Faraway Club, they accused Faraway

Club of going back on their word and ruining their friendship in an email. They also decided to terminate their

cooperation immediately and send the trainees from Faraway Club in Hataland back. Faraway Club didn't even

dare to complain. They repeatedly apologized in the email and even explained that the club's rookie was

insensible and refused to obey, which resulted in such a bad outcome. They also said they had already refused

to sign the rookie on and asked for forgiveness, Hataland refused to

forgive the Faraway Club. The sponsor sent all the canceled sponsorship documents to Faraway Club.

The documents were stamped with the seal of Hataland's company and signed. It was almost impossible to fake

it. Therefore, after the accounts that received these screenshots posted them on the Internet, it caused a huge

uproar immediately Netizens criticized the Faraway Club and pushed the scandal to the top of the trending

searches.

One of them remarked: [We're not living under their thumb any more. How can there still be so many b***ds

kissing Hataland's a*** F** Since they are such bootlickers, why don't they have their lips glued to Hataland's

a***s?] Another commented: [Faraway Club is a scourge of the sports circle and a disgrace to the basketball

world. If they don't disappear, there will be no future for Osceiton basketball.]

A third added: [All these years of love and support have been in vain. | hope Faraway Club will be doomed.]

Someone said: [The other

other sponsors said they were unaware of Faraway Club's practice of losing deliberately and suspended their

sponsorship to the club. Once it is confirmed that the news is true, they will cancel all sponsorships.] It was

already late at night when the news spread online. There was s no one on duty at the Faraway Club, so they did

not notice the uproar in time.

When the higher-ups of Faraway Club received the news and wanted to do damage control, they realized they

could not log into all the official accounts of the club, including the official website and the accounts on various

social media platforms. Furthermore, the official website and these social media accounts all posted evidence of

the club throwing games at the top of the homepage. They could not be deleted, and it attracted countless

netizens to look at and mock them. At the stime, no one could access the Intethrough the club network

because of a computer virus that could not be killed by the antivirus.

The higher-ups of of Faraway Club were helpless. They could only order all the players and employees of the club

to clarify on their personal social media accounts that the club did not deliberately lose games and that the so-

called evidence was all fabricated. They had already entrusted a law firm to collect evidence. The Faraway Club's

clarification did not convince the public.

After one night, not only did the scandal not cool down, but it also blew up across all major online platforms.

Netizens, as well as fans, peers, sports circles, and the media, denounced the matter and asked the officials to

investigate thoroughly. The higher-ups of the Faraway Clubs did not sleep the entire night. They were so worried

that they wanted to cry. They could not understand why this happened because they had alreally deleted all the

emails that involved them losing games on purpose. No one could possibly dig them out. They thought that

perhaps someone was messing with them secretly and that there might be a mole. They tried to find the mole,

but this internal strife did nothing but interfere with their speed in dealing with the crisis. Chapter 193
