She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 206

When Athena returned to Kitmore City, the celebration of Advent Sunday was almost over.

She

really wanted to cback before Advent Sunday to celebrate Josie's fifth birthday and spend Advent Sunday

with her entire family.

But there was nothing she could do.

The ruin that was discovered this tcovered a large area and was at the bottom of the sea, making the

research very challenging. It was even more difficult to crack the prehistoric traps. In addition, other

organizations insisted on joining them after arriving, causing constant t disputes along the way. This delayed the

research even further. After the research ended, everyone was exhausted and in a tertiile state. She also took a

few days to rest before barely managing to regain her energy

She returned on a private jet and wasn't sure when she would get home. It was only mentioned that she would

arrive on the afternoon or evening of the 3rd

At five o'clock in the afternoon, she first returned to her private apartment and dr Mid-Level Mountain Garden.

On the way, it felt like everything was fine except for the traffic jams and the crowds.

But when she arrived at the community gates, she sensed that something was off.

She thought, "It feels like someone is staring at me.

She slowed down the car, wound down the window, and looked around.

off her luggage before driving to

As it was a holiday, there were quite a lot of people and cars around. There were also a lot of hidden spots.

Thes sky was slightly lark, and it affected visibility. She observed carefully for a while and did not find anything,

so she had no choice but to enter the neighborhood first.

Lights were already on in the main building of the villa. Faint sounds of the television and cheerful voices could

be heard. One could imagine how warm it was inside. Athena was not i in a h a hurry y to greet anyone. Instead,

she parked the car before walking toward the main building.

She walked into the foyer and changed her shoes, smiling as she said, "Hi, everybody. I'm back."

The initially lively living room instantly fell silent, leaving only the sound of the television.

Everyone turned to look at her all at once.

They then stood up in unison and walked over to welcher.

"Athena, you're back! Have a seat and rest first. Your dad and | will bring out the food. We can start eating

It was Josie who rushed over first, presenting a large plate of blueberries with both hands.

Athena took the plate of blueberries with one hand and stroked Josie's head with the other, saying, "I'm sorry. |

"It's alright." Josie waved magnanimously. Tm still young. | can sill celebrate many more birthdays in the future.

"It's a deal

"Zayn could have cback before Advent Sunday, but one of the lead actors got injured and needs about a

week to recover, which delays the wrap-up."

nodded. "We should be able to celebrate Christmas together then."

"Oh." Athena nodde

Alaric rubbed the side of his neck and sighed. "The whole family is here, except for Brandon. If only he could

cback for Christmas"

The lively atmosphere instantly turned cold for a few seconds.

Alaric knew that he had created an awkward moment. He quickly patted his chest and looked at Athena

expectantly. "Athena, did you notice anything different when you entered earlier?"

The entire family looked at him from the corner of their eyes with an annoyed expression, thinking. 'Here we go

again

Athena smiled and played along, saying, "I saw a new car in the garage. Whose new car is it?

Alaric blinked. "Make a guess.

Athena

pretended to think seriously for a few seconds. "Maria's workplace is rather far. Is it a car that you all bought for

her?"

Maria pursed her lips and smiled. "Nope. | haven't had tto learn how to drive yet.

Unable to hold back any longer, Alaric burst out laughing. He raped his fist proudly. "Of course, it's my new car!"

Athena played along again and asked, "How cyou have a new car? Did you win it in a tennis tournament?"

The car was not bad. It was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Without waiting for Alaric to boast, Arthur kicked him in frustration. "He must've had sridiculous luck. Not

long after joining the tennis club, a few companies took a liking to him and insisted on signing him as their

spokesperson in advance..."

Arthur said something that Alaric wanted to say, so Alaric hurried to show off even faster, saying, "Well, what can

| say? I'm tall, handsome, and have a great image! The club held a networking event. When the clients saw my

confident appearance while playing tennis, they praisedendlessly and said | would definitely have great

achievements in the future. They wanted to seize the opportunity to signbefore | becfamous, lest |

bectoo expensive to sign in the future."

At this point, he pulled out his chest and raised his chin, looking like he was waiting for praise.

The endorsement fee they gavewas quite high, he continued. "The club was very happy and decided to

rewardwith

a car so that | could drive to the club to train or participate in competitions in the future."

"What's with the smugness" Arthur gave him another kick. "You have to achieve good results to actually earn

that endorsement money. Otherwise, you'll still be broke."

"Tsk, | knew you were jealous of me." Alaric made a face at him. "You're short and petty. Nyah, nyah, nyah!"

Josie thought for a moment and said, "I don't like Sasha, but I've made a lot of friends in kindergarten: | can't

bear to be separated from them."

Athena knew that frequent moving and changing of environments could be detrimental for children when it came

to making friends and could lead to a lack of security.

So, she did not say much and simply said, "Alright, if Sasha crosses the line again and bullies you, just let me
