She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235
Juliet Leach. 28 years old, a top journalism student at Dichester University. The person ignored Juliet’s question and read out her background. “You’re originally from Raverot Town, Botawok, and your folks are farmers. You have two married sisters and a younger brother who lives off the old. Your family is economically struggling and mainly relying on your
support.
Juliet Leach, you were supposed to be a farmer like your family, but you got into a famous university in Dichester.
“After graduation, you worked as an intern reporter on the national television station. After that, you became a government officer. Anabel took a fancy to you, transferred you to be her assistant, and sent you to stay abroad for a year. Your annual salary, bonuses, and benefits are about 400 thousand dollars. Anabel got someone to sell the car and house to you at low prices.”
Juliet was shocked. Since I worked for Miss Powell, besides sending money home regularly every month, I’ve never contacted my family. They have no idea where I am or what I’m doing
The bonus and benefits Miss Powell has given me are a secret. How did this person know about it?’ Juliet had a feeling that she was in big trouble.
TII only warn you this once, the gunman said coldly. “Stop everything you’re doing immediately and erase everything you’ve done.
“Otherwise, next time, you’ll disappear without a trace.”
Everything I’m doing? Vanish without a trace? Juliet pondered. Is it about Joy? Is Joy going to do something to me? Juliet immediately thought of Wilson, who had disappeared in Swereo. She was so afraid that her mind went blank again. “Till give you one last piece of advice. The gunman whispered in Juliet’s ear, “The results are the boss’s, and your life is
yours.”
Then, Juliet felt a pain at the back of her neck. Her body went numb, and she instantly lost consciousness.
The gunman pushed open the door and got out of the car. She got into the ordinary black car beside, put away her pistol. took off her gloves, pulled down her hat, put on her sunglasses, and drove away.
The surveillance cameras in the garage and around the entrance had malfunctioned and would not be restored for a while. No one could capture her and her car. She quickly drove onto the highway.
Juliet was just a small fry. There was nothing to fear. The real threat was Anabel.
Just by hearing the title of “Queenpin”, one could tell how powerful Anabel and the Powell family were. It was not wise for her to compete with Anabel in Anabel’s territory. So, she had to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.
While being stuck in the traffic, she made an encrypted call. “For the nuclear power project, which Oscelton is working on with Froristen, think of a way to operate it secretly. Get Frorister to appoint Anabel as the contact person for Osceiton. Make sure to transfer Anabel to Froristen. The longer she stays there, the better.”
The nuclear power project was worth nearly 20 billion dollars. Osceiton was the contractor and first investor, and the heavy Industry group Anabel worked for also participated in the construction
In addition, Anabel held an important position in the group and once studied in Froristen. She had many connections there. so she was the perfect choice to be a contact in Froristen.
After ending the call, a cold smile appeared on her lips. “No matter how powerful the Powell family is, they can’t do anything
in Froristen!

Chapter 235
“Let’s see if Anabel can still make a move on me after she goes to Froristen.
At that moment, the sun was shining in the sky. It was getting warmer.
Juliet finally opened her eyes in a daze. She saw the sun was shining brightly at the garage exit, but the corner she was in was dark and cold, making her feel cold.
The fear brought by the person who pointed the gun at her head was still scraping her bones, leaving her with lingering fear. But Juliet felt lucky. She was glad that the gunman did not blow up her head immediately and that she was still alive!
Juliet thought. ‘It wasn’t easy for me to get where I’m from a neglected girl from a poor family in a distant small town. I definitely can’t die like this.
She kept taking deep breaths to calm the fear in her heart. An hour later, she finally managed to regain her composure. She did not try to investigate the gunman’s background. She only checked her car and found the bag with Joy’s belongings
was gone.
It was good that the bag was gone. That kind of thing felt like a time bomb in her hands.
Juliet dragged her weak legs out of the car and returned to the apartment. She fell asleep immediately. Then, in her dream. she was constantly chased by black shadows and kept running for her life.
A few days later, Juliet showed Anabel the fake DNA test report and said calmly, “Miss Powell, I’ve compared Joy and Athena’s DNAs. They’re not related by blood.”
Anabel glanced at the test report in disappointment and waved her hand. “Continue to keep an eye on Joy and Athena. Also, look into the other women who interact with Matthew. Let me know if you find any clues.
Juliet replied with a “yes”, picked up the test report, and left.
She would have people keep an eye on Joy, but she would no longer try to investigate Joy’s background. She would also find a way to persuade Anabel to stay away from Joy.
As the gunman had said, the results belonged to the boss, and her life was hers. Juliet would never lose her life for her boss’s mission
Only Anabel was left in the huge study room.
Anabel turned her chair and faced the window. Looking at the drizzling night sky of the city, she felt a little sad. There were also tears in the corners of her eyes that she did not notice.
In the morning. Anabel visited Dichester as instructed.
The CEO told her that Osceiton and Froristen’s nuclear power project was about to enter the construction stage and that there was a lot of work to be done between the two sides.
The person in charge from Froristen had heard much about Anabel when Anabel was studying in Froristen. He admired her ability and personality and hoped Osceiton would send Anabel aver as the contact person.
The CEO hoped Anabel could consider the big picture and accept the mission, completing the handover as soon as possible and heading to Froristen.
The collaboration project was one of Osceiton’s most important investments overseas. If Anabel still wanted to advance in the group in the future, she would have to accept the mission.
Therefore, she said firmly and proudly, Tm young and lave much to learn. Thanks for your trust. I’ll not let you down.”

When she returned, Anabel’s mood sank to the bottom.
She came from Dichester to Valemont City for Matthew, but Matthew went to Motireland. And she was about to be transferred to Uroterin before she could stay long.

“Matthew, the more I want to get close to you, the further away am from you” Anabel rested her elbows on the arms of the swivel chair, interlaced her fingers, pressed them against her forehead, and muttered to herself. “It would be great if you could remain heartless and get unattached to women. I won’t be attracted to you like this..
“Or you can be a playboy and only play around without offering your heart. I won’t care, either.
“However, you’ve fallen in love with another woman and protected her wholeheartedly. This makes me envious.
“I’m envious of the woman you love. How happy would that be!
“I want such happiness, too.”
Tears fell from under her fingers as she continued to talk to herself. “I must figure out what kind of woman has made you fall for her.
“In the end. I’ve made myself the kind of woman I despise the most.”
