She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Archie was an illegitimate child, but he was never ashamed of being one.

It was because his beautiful, gentle, and good-natured mother always told him, "In the Viking Age, kings and rich men would have many wives. Although monogamy is recognized by the law nowadays, the more capable and charismatic a man is, the more wives he has. This will never change. The key is love..

"It's just like how your dad and I love each other very much, and we both love you very much. His where love is. Without love, one wouldn't be happy even if one got married. It wouldn't be a real home." Archie loved his mother. Therefore, he believed his mother's words without a doubt. He was even determined to have many beautiful girlfriends.

In addition, his mother often took him to meet her friends.

His mother's friends were just like his mother. They were all beautiful women who were in love and had husbands but were not married. Their personalities were also very good. They spoke gently and sounded pleasant. These beautiful women would also bring their children out to play. He often played with these children, who were all illegitimate children like him.

Therefore, he did not think that illegitimate children were a strange existence.

Of course, because the circle he cinto contact with was all rich people, he also knew that he had a brother called Matthew, who was not an illegitimate child.

Everyone praised Matthew for being good-looking and outstanding. There was no child better than Matthew in the entire upper-class society.

Archie also heard people say that he was not as good as Matthew in all aspects.

He was very unconvinced. Everyone who met him said that he was good-looking and smart, just like his father. How could he not be comparable to Matthew? He felt that others must have said that to please Matthew, until he was taken by his mother to report to the best aristocratic elementary school in the city at the age of six.

This elite school was a combination of elementary school, junior high school, and high school. The registration areas for elementary school, junior high school, and high school were not far apart.

When he reported, he heard a commotion and screams coming from the junior high school registration area not far away.

He was bored at that time, so he ran over curiously to take a look Those junior high school students were much taller than him. He could not see what was happening in the crowd. He could only stand on his tiptoes and try his best to squeeze in.

As he squeezed in, he heard the excited, jealous, and admiring chatter of the junior high school students.

"How could he be so good-looking? He doesn't look like a real person at all, but someone who walked out of a painting." "He's the rumored Matthew? He's really a genius. He's different from ordinary people." "He's only nine years old and he's already in junior high school? He even scored full marks? Isn't that too amazing?" That's not all. I heard that he can use Maiselish to discuss business with foreigners and even assemble his own computer and phone. He's definitely a genius." "I also heard that he wanted to go straight to high school, but he too young and his math is a little weak. Thus, he has to attend junior high school" "I heard that he helped people invest in stocks and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars? Archie was so angry at their words. He thought, Bragging! They must be bragging Matthew is only three years older than me. How could he be so capable? These people are flattering Matthew because he's the only legitimate son of the Graham family Then, he squeezed to the front and saw an older youth who was adiant, and high and mighty like a celestial being.

Matthew was very good-looking. He was the most good-looking person Archie had ever seen. He was even more good-looking than Archie's parents.

Archie liked good-looking people the most. Therefore, he could not move his eyes away and could only look at Matthew with glowing eyes. "Matthew." Archie heard a girl call Matthew that. "I'm in the sclass as you, and I'm the class president. Can I have your iMessage number?" Archie thought, 'Oh, so he is Matthew? Is he my biological brother? I'm so happy! There was no smile on Matthew's face. His voice was cold but pleasant. "I won't give anyone my iMessage number, but I will join the class's group chat." "Mathew, don't be so cold to us." Those girls wheedled and even rubbed against Matthew. "We're all classmates and our parents know each other. Give us your iMessage number so that we can learn from each other-" "I don't need to learn from you guys." Matthew dodged the girls and said mercilessly, "My learning progress is not something you guys can catch up to. Also, I don't like people getting too close to me. Stay away from me, or I'll block your contact." The crowd was in an uproar again.

"Fuck, the school belle took the initiative to ask him for his iMessage number, yet he told her to get lost. How cruel!" "A genius is indeed a genius. His thoughts are indeed different from ours." "People like him probably only think about inheriting and expanding the family business, right?" Archie was so angry. Those young ladies were so beautiful, spoke nicely, and smelled good. Yet, Matthew wasn't gentle to them. He was so cold to them. Archie felt that Matthew must be a bad person. However, at the stime, his admiration for Matthew rose.

In the face of so many beautiful and fragrant ladies, Matthew actually did not have any reaction at all. That was simply remarkable.

Archie thought, 'He must be a celestial being. No, he's a devil. No he's both a celestial being and a devil. He's also a genius. He's so awesome!' As Archie looked at Matthew with admiration, Matthew had already completed the simple registration procedures and left. When he left, he glanced at everyone coldly. "I like quietness. Don't follow me." Those junior high school students could only watch as Matthew walked away.

However, for sunknown reason, Archie chased after Matthew.

Matthew walked very fast. Panting, Archie chased after him for more than 300 feet and shouted, "Matthew, Matthew, wait for me." Matthew did not stop. He only glanced at Archie from the corne of his eye and said indifferently. "Why are you following me?" Archie rushed in front of Matthew and looked up at him. He said excitedly, "Matthew, I'm your younger brother, Archie. My mother is Rosalie, and my father is your father. We're biological brothers." Archie wanted a brother like Matthew. He wanted Matthew to hold his little hand and play on the seesaw together. They would play soccer together, do homework together, and hang out with pretty girls together. "So it's you, Nicolas's bastard son." Matthew looked down at Arcle with a gaze as cold as a knife. "A mere bastard son like you isn't worthy of being my younger brother. Get lost! don't appear in front of me, or I'll beat you up every tI see you." Matthew's voice was like hailstones that smashed heavily on Archie's head.

Archie's smile instantly froze as he looked at Matthew in disbelief. "How-how dare you calla bastard son? I'm your place in every exam. Girls like me. Yet, you say I'm not worthy of younger brother. I'm so good-looking and smart. I get fire being your brother." A slap was heard. Archie was slapped across the face. It hurt.

However, Archie was stunned by the slap and could not care less about the pain. He only looked at Matthew with teary eyes. "You-you hit me? I'm Dad's favorite child. Dad said that look the most like him.d-lam going to complain to Dad." Another slap was heard. Archie was slapped in the face again.

Matthew looked at him expressionlessly. "I've said it before. If you don't get lost, I'll hit you." Then, Matthew kicked his butt hard, sending him flying 10 feet away.

Archie's cheeks were red and swollen from the slapping, and his butt hurt from the kick. He fell to the ground, and his entire body hurt.

He lay on the ground and cried loudly, "Dad, Mom, Matthew hit me." "What a piece of trash!" Matthew was unmoved. He left after saying, "Don't provoke me, or I'll beat you to death." Archie was left alone to cry until he almost stopped breathing. The driver hurried over and carried him away. He had been crying on the phone the whole way. He made two calls at the stime. He made a phone call to his mother and complained about Matthew's evil deeds. He made the second call to his father, complaining about Matthew hitting him.

He believed that his parents, who loved him so much, would definitely stand up for him and teach Matthew a lesson. They would make Matthew grovel in front of him and beg for mercy. Matthew would never dare to bully him again.

However, his mother advised him tearfully, "Matthew is the Graham family's heir. I can't afford to offend him either. Stay away from Matthew in the future. If you see him, you have to hide far away. Otherwise, I don't know what to do if he beats you up." His father also sighed and said, "Archie, I know you're aggrieved, but Matthew has a stubborn temper. With your grandfather protecting him, I can't do anything to him. You should learn your lesson and don't provoke him in the future." On this day, Archie felt like the sky was about to collapse. He cried even harder.

However, no matter how hard he cried, his mother would only cry with him. His father would not even answer his calls.

And from then on, as long as he made Matthew unhappy, Matthew would beat him up mercilessly. And he would cry every the was beaten up.

He hated Matthew to the core and also felt that he should not appear in front of Matthew. However om sometimes, he could not help but appear in front of Matthew. He even deliberately caused trouble to attract Matthew's attention. Every the saw Matthew being angered by him, he would fee both fearful and joyous.

He also worked out hard and practiced boxing so that he could defeat Matthew one day. He wanted could to make Matthew grovel in front of him and beg him to be his younger brother. Year after year passed. More than ten years had passed, but he sill could not defeat Matthew.

However, he waited until the moment when the board of directes impeached Matthew, He should have been happy to see Matthew, whom he hated the most, get kicked out of Graham Group.

He was indeed very happy. However, Matthew was the only person who was more outstanding than him. Matthew could not lose to others.

If Matthew lost to the board of directors, it would be equivalent to the old men on the board of directors being more outstanding than Archie. Archie could not stand that. Hence, he opposed the impeachment of Matthew at the board meeting.

He even thought that if Matthew was really impeached, he would think of a way to get his father's shares and give them to Matthew So that Matthew could return to the board of directors. That way, it would be equivalent to Matthew losing to him. It would mean that Matthew couldn't do it without him.

In the end, Matthew easily dealt with the old men on the board of directors again. Archie's support was useless to Matthew. Archie was so angry and depressed.

The once-in-a-lifetopportunity to make Matthew owe him a favor and acknowledge his excellence was gone just like that. However, Archie refused to give up.-
