She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 517

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. Home is 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 came into 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 same class 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 same time, 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.”
