She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 193

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 I 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 I would be able to turn things around. It feels like Ive obtained a new lease of life.”
Alaric’s buddies who came to 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 come too.”
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. become a 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 time and allow you to drink alcohol. You can drink whatever you want, as long as you don’t overdo it.”
After that, they celebrated in the private room, playing cards and joking around. They played plenty of games and partied
hard.
Because they didn’t have time to 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 Internet celebrities, 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. I hope Faraway Club will be doomed.]
Someone said: [The 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 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 same time, no one could access the Internet through the club network because of a computer virus that could not be killed by the antivirus.
The higher-ups 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.

Someone retorted: (Everyone knows that the entertainment industry is a mess. There are many ways he could be taken. advantage of. It’s a waste for such an upright and cheerful guy to enter the entertainment industry. He should play basketball.]
Another conumented: (Wow! His figure is great. He even has an eight-pack. I love him!
A guy exclaimed: [I’m a fan of him from now. I’ll cheer the tennis prince from now on]
Just like that, Alaric began to become famous online..
However, as a new tennis player who had just debuted and had no actual achievements, it was not good for him to receive so much public attention.
Fortunately, Endover Tennis Club, who secretly used the incident to give Alaric a wave of positive marketing, stopped while they were ahead. In a few days, they deleted all the reports about him on the Internet to prevent him from being troubled by fans and the public.

Of course, Matthew also heard about such a big matter. He crooked his finger at Louis and said, “You know what to do about Alaric, right?”
