She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85
Athena smiled. “Even if he doesn’t want to, he has no chance to make a comeback. If he goes back on his word in public, he will become a joke and tarnish the Graham Group’s image and reputation. This way, his people will also be implicated.”
When Arthur heard this, he exclaimed, “So he sacrificed himself for the big picture. Ah, no, no, it should be the other way around”
Athena said. “This analogy isn’t very accurate, but it’s more or less the same. Sacrifice the old to protect the young”
Arthur shook his head and sighed. “Wealthy families are really complicated. Our family is the best.”
Athena smiled and did not speak.
The commentator finally spoke again. His tone was filled with emotion. “Richard is indeed a legend. He deserves everyone’s respect. I believe that even if he leaves Graham Group, his story will be told.”
At the press conference, Matthew didn’t force Richard to apologize. He just looked at the time. “It’s almost 10 pm. I think the paternity test results should be out”
The staff soon took the two appraisal reports from the experts and projected the contents on the electronic screen, showing that the girl in the wheelchair was the real Lucy
Matthew won.

However, Matthew did not smile, nor did he show any arrogance. He only said calmly. “Everyone, the press conference ends here. Thank you for attending!”
The staff walked over to maintain order while the participants let
The reporters had a lot of questions, but they knew very well that they would not get any answers from Matthew. Moreover, most of them were invited by Richard. Now since Richard had lost, they couldn’t afford to offend Matthew.
In front of the television, Arthur looked at the crowd that was leaving one after another and shook his head repeatedly. “I didn’t expect that woman to be so bold. She dared to accuse Matthew on the live broadcast without any evidence. What a liar
Athena picked up the glass of water and took a sip. “Maybe she wasn’t lying
Arthur turned around. “But she has no evidence.”
Athena smiled meaningfully. “That’s precisely why I feel that Matthew night have cleaned up all the evidence.
Arthur was so shocked that he opened his mouth slightly, After awhile, he said, “Isn’t Matthew too bad then?”
Athena smiled. “There’s no need to think so badly of him. I guess he must have made a deal with the fake Lucy. He gives the fake Lucy what she wants, such as a luxurious house and a luxury car. And she volunteered to undergo plastic surgery and temporarily pretended to be his sister. But something happened later. And the fake-Lucy betrayed Matthew at the critical
moment
-Arthur’s eyes widened in shock. “Oh my! This woman is so cunning. Even I was fooled.”
Athena thought, it’s not a hard thing to fool you
At this point, the live broadcast ended and the audience could not see anything.
However, at the venue, there were still many people discussing what had happened tonight. They did not

leave immediately.
Matthew walked up to Neil and Nicolas, ‘Grandfather, Father, I’m going to accompany my sister. She has traveled a long way and is very tired now. You guys need rest too. When she recovers. I’ll take her home. Don’t visit her for the time being.”
Neil and Nicolas nodded, “Go. Take good care of your sister.”
Matthew turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, he heard the fake Lucy calling out to him from behind, “Matthew, are you planning to kill me? Everyone knows I’ve offended you. If I go missing or get killed, everyone will think you did it.”
Her words attracted the attention of many people who had yet to leave.
Matthew stood still and looked at her from the corner of his eye. “You’re thinking too much. No one will believe the words of a mental patient, and I won’t argue with a mental patient. If you’re still worried, you can call the police for help now. I believe many people present are willing to help you?
Fake Lucy bit her lower lip and took a few steps forward. She said in a low voice, “Can I have my ID back now?”
Matthew sneered. He retracted his gaze and left.
Fake Lucy wanted to chase after him but was immediately stopped by the security guards.
She turned around to look for Richard, but he was long gone. The person who had brought her here was also gone, She had
She wanted to leave, but she had no papers, no cash, not even a cell phone. She had nowhere to go.
On the other side, Matthew had just walked out of the side door of the hall when he heard a familiar voice. “Matthew, I want to talk to you.”
Matthew turned his head and saw Richard standing by the pillar with his walking stick. “What do we have to talk about?* Richard said, “I want to know where I lost. You don’t have to reject me in a hurry. I have what you want.”
Matthew said calmly, “What is it?”
Richard walked over slowly, “Something related to five years ago
Matthew’s gaze suddenly became fierce and sharp.
It was as if a tiger that was leisurely strolling suddenly became hungry and turned into a ferocious tiger that was preparing to hunt.
“Don’t look at me like that, Richard said calmly. “Believe it or not, I have nothing to do with what happened five years ago. I just got some clues”
Matthew said coldly, “Where do you want to talk?”
Richard lifted his chin. “There.”
There were two chairs on the open, unobstructed lawn, and no one else.
If they spoke there, everyone could see them, and they could see everyone around them. In other words, no one could approach them and eavesdrop
Matthew strode over and sat down on one of the chairs,

Richard walked over slowly and sat down opposite him. He supported himself with his walking stick and straightened his
back.
“What I want to talk to you about is also very bad for me. He spoke first. “So I can guarantee that there are no recordings or videotapes here. Our conversation is only between us.”
Matthew said, “What are you trying to say?”
Richard stared at him. “Was all this a trap set by you? Did you know my plan?”
Mathew asked, “What are you referring to?”
Two things,” Richard said. “Firstly, when you video-called the imposter last time, you had expected that someone would point out that the woman was fake in public. Then, you brought your sister out to let us slander you, right? And the second thing, about tonight. Did you anticipate that I would kidnap the imposter and deliberately let me succeed? Did you clean up the clues in Acloria and so people would think I slandered you?
Richard was respected by everyone his whole life. He did not expect to fall into Matthew’s trap at this age. He couldn’t reconcile. He had to at least know why he had lost. Otherwise, even if he died, he wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.
