She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 

At 10:30 pm, Athena and Maria returned to the villa. 

As soon as they entered the main building, they saw the others discussing something enthusiastically, 

Arthur waved at them excitedly. “Athena, Maria, you’re back. Good news!! 

He caught his breath and rambled on edly, Claire and I found a charming, vintage house this afternoon, and we were planning to rent it for three to five years to try it out. But as souras Harry arrived, he went ahead and bought the house. then rented it to us for 20 years at a very low price. He signed the agreement with us on the spot. The four of us each invested 6 million dollars without seeking dividends” 

Arthur cradled his face in his hands, feeling like he was on cloud nine 

He let out a huge, contented sigh and continued gushing over Harry. “Why is Harry such a great guy? Our family has been really lucky recently. The people we met were all good people. I feel that this world is especially beautiful.” 

Athena smiled and sa nce he’s willing to invest, it means that he has confidence in you. You have to have confidence in yourselves too. 

Arthur patted his chest proudly. “We’re very confident! In fact, we’re discussing how to renovate the old mansion. Do you want to discuss it together?” 

Athena shook her head. I still have a lot of things to do in the laboratory, so I won’t get involved.” 

As the old saying went, what one worked hard to obtain truly belonged to oneself 

It was fine as long as she did her best to help her family. 

Maria also yawned and said, “I have to be at the company by seven tomorrow morning. I’ll wash up and sleep first.” 

After Athena returned to her room, she immediately sat in front of her computer and worked quickly on her novel. 

She wrote until 1:30 in the morning. 

She finally completed the end of the fifth volume of “The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes. It was a total of 5,000 words and was released in two chapters, 

At the end of the fifth volume, she wrote: “After Lockwood returned to his apartment from the police station, he found a small drone on the balcony as soon as he entered. He picked up the drone and found a USB flash drive hanging from it Moving quickly, he plugged the USB drive into his computer and found a 100–minute–long video of a car accident, with timestamps indicating when it was filmed. His expression grew more and more serious as he watched. This was a major case, and the victim was a well–known heiress from a prominent family! Yet, five years had passed since the incident, and there was no mention of it by anyone or any media. How interesting!” 

At the end. Athena wrote. “To be continued.” 

Athena finished the volume with a cliffhanger. She turned off the computer and went to rest. 

At nine–thirty in the morning, she lazily got out of bed and looked at her phone as she brushed her teeth. 

She clicked on the trending topic and was shocked. 

Half of the trending topics were related to Detective Lockwood Holmes, and it was all over the news. 

The headline read, “The Great Detective Lockwood Holmes Reappears, Ending Volume 5, Starting Volume 6. 

13:13 Sun, Oct 13 BD 

Chapter 112 

There were a couple of headlines. “Have you guessed who the culprit of the poisoning case is?“. “Someone guessed the culprit in the fifthy volume correctly and celebrated with fireworks all night–now they’ve been invited to the police station for a chat over unlicensed fireworks use,” “You want to test your IQ? Read The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes. You deserve it,” and “I can’t sleep at night. The cliffhanger is killing me. Begging for the quick release of volume o 

Seeing all these comments, Athena was at a little lost for words. 

She muttered to herself, “Is it that exaggerated?” 

Then she opened the serialized novel page. 

She was shocked by what she saw. 

In just one night, there were over 10,000 new comments and more than 200 thousand dollars tips. 

The website’s chief editor donated 200 thousand dollars and left a message in the comments section: [Everyone, it’s not that we don’t want to sign with the author or send the tips to him, but we just can’t get in touch! I can’t get through to the phone number he left, and there’s no reply from his email. There’s really nothing we can do about it.] 

Besides the website, many publishers and film institutions also left messages in the comments section, begging the author to get in touch with them. 

Athena, the author were furiously looking for, knew that she would not contact them. 

Anyway, she was not short of money and did not care about that bit of fame. 

However, she still had to pay attention to the readers‘ opinions. 

She shrugged and muttered, “Oh well, then I won’t go anywhere today. I’ll just stay at home and write” 

Athena stayed at home as she intended. 

At this moment, Matthew had already changed and was preparing to eat. 

Louis placed the breakfast in front of him, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses. “Did Miss Donovan take good care of you last night after you pretended to be drunk? Did she personally help you change your clothes, wash your face, and clean your hands?” 

Others might not know, but how could he not know? 

Mr. Graham was truly someone who could drink endlessly without genting drunk. He just practiced moderation and disliked the drinking culture of persuading or forcing others to drink 

The half bottle of champagne last night was not enough to make Mr. Graham drunk and unsteady on his feet. 

Matthew’s hand that was holding the knife and fork paused slightly. He looked up and glanced at Louis coldly “Haven’t you been following me? Didn’t you see Miss Donovan leave in less than five minutes after entering the room?” 

Louis said, “Five minutes is enough to do a lot of things.” 

Matthew’s gaze turned even colder. “Are you talking about your experience 

Louis quickly shut up. I have no experience. I have no right to speak.” 

Matthew snorted and finished his breakfast quickly. “We can set off now.” 

Louis quickly walked forward and opened the door. They took the lift to the garage and Louis quickly got into the driver’s seat. He sent Mr. Graham to the most upscale new CBD skyscraper in Kitmore City, the Pinnacle Tower,
