She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 402

For Athena, it didn't matter if she was on vacation or not.

Even during the two-month-long summer vacation, Athena worked every day. She would either be seated at her desk, immersed in documents in front of her computer, remotely orchestrating the vast Vission Group, or she would be found in various labs, directing and overseeing an array of experiments.

Late that night, after she finished her work, she closed the document and opened the news webpage. She browsed the news while drinking coffee.

Immediately, a piece of news caught her eye.

"Anabel was promoted to vice president of Jaquen Heavy Industry, the youngest executive in history."

Athena thought, 'Is Anabel back?'

Athena perused the news article, which detailed Anabel's two-year tenure at Froristen, where her performance had been exemplary. Following an evaluation by the group, she had accomplished her mission with flying colors and was reassigned to the headquarters as the vice president of the conglomerate. She was also granted approval to join the board of directors.

The article itself was straightforward, but the comments section was a different story. Numerous netizens alluded to Anabel's lineage and her engagement to Matthew in the comments.

[Neil's 95th birthday is at the end of July, and it's highly probable that the Graham and Powell families will announce the marriage of Anabel and Matthew at the birthday celebration.] One commenter speculated.

[Word has it that Matthew is actually reluctant to accept this marriage, but with Neil still at the helm of the Graham Group and treating Matthew so generously, would Matthew dare to decline it at Neil's birthday banquet publicly?] questioned another.

Many netizens echoed. One commented: [Do you remember two years ago, Matthew's girlfriend died mysteriously and disappeared mysteriously? After that, Matthew no longer had any women by his side. I wonder if he will compromise this time.]

[Anabel is almost 30 years old. Her career has risen. It's said that she and her family are anxious for her to get married and have children as soon as possible. In my opinion, Mr. Graham won't be able to escape this.]

[If Mr. Graham dares to reject the marriage publicly, he will definitely pay a huge price...]

Athena looked at these comments thoughtfully. After a brief period of contemplation, she let out a nonchalant shrug, logged off her computer, and retired for the night.

In the ensuing days, the internet was sporadically abuzz with reports of Anabel's interactions with the Graham family—dining with them or engaging in business discussions. These were clear indications that the two families were actively promoting the idea of a union.

At this juncture, another strikingly tall, fair-skinned woman with long hair made her appearance by Matthew's side. They were seen dining together and subsequently retiring to Matthew's residence, their closeness sparking the interest of the media, leading to a flurry of speculative reports.

Almost every day, there were trending topics about Matthew online. He became even more popular than popular celebrities.

[The media has captured the face of Matthew's girlfriend. It's Jaylin, who disappeared more than two years ago. I didn't expect her to appear beside Matthew again after disappearing for so long. It seems that the two of them are truly in love.]

[There's news that Jaylin isn't missing at all. Instead, Mr. Graham hid her at some place. Now that the Graham and Powell families are forcing him to marry Anabel, he gets Jaylin to appear in a fit of anger and demonstrate to Anabel.]

[But why did Jaylin gain so much weight? She looks no longer as slim as before. It seems that she has a good appetite.]

[Fuck! Shocking news! The media has taken photos of Jaylin going to the hospital to see a gynecologist with Mr. Graham. Jaylin is suspected to be pregnant! There are photos and evidence.]
