She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80
The camera focused on Matthew, who stretched out his long legs and got out of the car unhurriedly. He turned around to pick up the person in the car.
The commentator exclaimed. “Many people say that a bald head is the best tool to test a person’s looks. I agree
with this saying. Many celebrities look beautiful, but once they shave their heads, the flaws on their faces are all exposed. However, Mr. Graham looks great under a high-definition camera even without hair. Unfortunately, he refused to enter the entertainment industry.” He said a string of praises for Matthew
Then, the good show began.
A woman in a wheelchair appeared at the door of the car.
Matthew carried the woman out of the car with both hands. The nurse in the car then came out with a wheelchair.
After the wheelchair was placed properly, Matthew carefully placed the woman back into the wheelchair.
The close-up shot was aimed at the woman’s face.
Everyone exclaimed, “Lucy? It’s really Lucy”
“Five years have passed, but she hasn’t aged at all. She even looks younger. How did she do it?” someone said. “Look at the scar on her head. She must have had a craniotomy It looks pretty bad, another person said.
Matthew stood behind his sister and pushed her wheelchair forward.
Everyone automatically made room.
Lucy smiled and waved at everyone.
Flashbulbs and shutter clicks flashed crazily, illuminating the area.
Under such light, the siblings’ bald heads were especially conspicuous
Athena suddenly remembered that in the photos she found, Lucy not only had beautiful hair, but he also paid a lot of attention to his image. Matthew must have shaved his hair to support his sister’s struggle against the illness.
Under everyone’s gaze, the siblings stepped into the press conference hall.
There were seats arranged in the hall. Those who had already sat down stood up one after another and looked at the siblings as they whispered.
On the stage, people of the Graham family also stood up in shock.
After Lucy was pushed onto the stage, Nicolas took a few steps forward and said excitedly. “Lucy, you’re finally back. Are you alright?
Lucy smiled and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m doing fine. Don’t worry, Dad
Nicolas’s eyes teared up. “It’s been five years and you never returned to Valemont City. You didn’t even let me visit you. I
miss you”
Lucy maintained her smile. “Many things have happened to me in the past five years. I’ll tell you in detail when I’m free.”
Then, she stood up with both hands on the armrest of the wheelchair and slowly walked towards Neil. She bowed, “Grandpa, I’m back. Are you alright?”

Neil looked at her with gratification in his eyes. T’m still in good health. I won’t die within a few years. He paused slightly and said gently. “It’s good that you’re fine. Nothing else is important.”
“Thank you for your concern, Grandpa” Lucy bowed again. “I was in a car accident a few months ago and had a craniotomy last month. I might need to recuperate for a year and a half to recover. I have to sit in a wheelchair now. So, please forgive my disrespect, Grandpa and Dad”
“Sit down. Neil and Nicolas both said, “Your health is the most important. Don’t force yourself”
Lucy looked at the other people from the Graham family and greeted them, “Hello, everyone. I am back.”
The people revealed an indistinguishable smile. “Welcome back
Lucy turned around and slowly walked to the wheelchair. She sat down and adjusted the microphone.
People from the Graham family also sat down. Their expressions were complicated as they whispered.
The people below the stage were discussing fervently.
The live-stream platform was good at hype things up. Many microphones and recording equipment were placed at the venue to deliberately magnify people’s discussion.
“Lucy can talk, walk, and look like there’s nothing wrong with her brain. Richard is definitely going to lose, someone said.
“I knew it. Mr. Graham video-called Lucy in front of so many people, but Richard insisted that it was fake based on his own feelings. This is too ridiculous, someone else said.
“Although Richard is powerful, he’s old after all. His mind isn’t clear…
They insisted on forcing Lucy to come back. If she comes back, she won’t leave. If the siblings join forces, the pressure on these people will be huge…”
Athena was sure that there were people from the Graham family supporting this live broadcast. They wanted to blow things up and pressure Matthew. However, they had miscalculated. Not only was Lucy still alive, but she was also in excellent condition
Lucy adjusted the microphone unhurriedly and said with a smile. “Everyone, as you can see, I’m indeed sick, but I don’t have a terminal illness. It won’t be long before I’m recovered. I thank everyone for their concern and attention. When I recover, I will definitely appear in front of the public in good health. Before that, please don’t disturb me and again. I won’t answer these doubts.”
my brother
As soon as she finished speaking, the reporters below the stage asked crazily. “You said you’ve been through a lot in the last five years. So what have you been through? Did you have a boyfriend? Did you get married again or have children? Are you moving back or continuing to live abroad?”
“Why couldn’t you publicly and officially announce your resignation five years ago? Why did you disappear without a word: Do you know that your actions have aroused public suspicion and investors’ uneasiness, putting huge pressure on Graham Group?”
Lucy did not say a word.
Matthew stood in front of the microphone and said calmly. “I’ve made a deal with Richard. What I want to do is to bring my sister here and prove to everyone that she’s alive and well. As you see, she can speak, think, and move. So I’ve made it. Your questions are not part of any promise. My sister will not answer them.
Then, he picked up the agreement he signed with Richard last week and turned around, looking straight at Richard. “Richard, will you keep your word?”
Everyone stared at Richard in unison.

Chapter 80
Clearly, Richard had lust. People wondered if he would keep his word and give up the power and status he had.
The people from the Graham family looked at Richard with complicated expressions. Some were gloating, some were sad. some were insensitive, and some were worried and angry.
The live broadcast would give close-up shots of Richard’s face from time to time.
Richard remained calm with a cold smile on his face. He looked confident and was not afraid at all.
Facing Matthew’s interrogation, he slowly stood up and said loudly, “Your sister is indeed still alive. However, this doesn’t change the fact that you lied about your sister and deceived the Graham family, the employees of the consortium, and the majority of shareholders for a long time.”
Everyone was in an uproar and discussed animatedly. “What do you mean by that, Richard?”
Matthew also said coldly, “Richard, are you trying to force me to sue you for defamation?”
Richard sneered and revealed a ruthless expression. “Do you think your tricks would work? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson”
He looked behind him and shouted, “Come out.
Everyone was puzzled, wondering who was about to come out.
The camera sensibly aimed at the red curtain behind Richard
The curtain moved slightly, and a good-looking hand reached out from inside and pushed the curtain aside.
Then, a thin and beautiful long-haired woman walked out and smiled at everyone. She said in a hoarse voice, “Good evening, everyone. I’m Lucy.”
