She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91
Athena looked up at Matthew and said seriously. “I may be young but I’m not afraid of anything.” She clenched her fists and added. I’m very capable”
Matthew smiled. His eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze. “Yes, I know you are very capable.”
Then, he lowered his eyes and played with
before my sister was hit by the the stone cup. His eyes became deep and his voice became low. “Fifteen minutes
before my sister was hit by the truck, I received a call from an unknown number. The processed voice told me that if I went to Lucy as quickly as I could, I could still see her one last time.
“I called my sister, but the signal was had and I couldn’t get through. Luckily it was already midnight when I received the call. The roads in the city were empty, which allowed me to specil toward the suburbs. I called my doctor friend along the
way too.
Matthew paused before adding, “The truck driver had explosives strapped to his body. He was waiting for me to show up.”
It had been years since the accident so Matthew was able to recount it calmly. “When I grabbed the truck driver, he acted like a madman. He laughed and said that everyone was doomed. I heard the timer on his body and threw him out at once. At the same time, I suspected the truck was also rigged with explosives. Because of my timely response, we survived.”
Athena was silent.
It sounded very simple, but the skuation at that time had to have been very dangerous. If Matthew were a second slower, they might all have died.
Matthew said, I’ve been investigating the car accident for the past five years. It took me a long time to find any clues.
The truck driver was a gambler. He owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling debts. He divorced his wife a few days before the murder and left on his own. Before he died, he paid off all his gambling debts and sent a bag of gold bars to his wife and children. I couldn’t find out where he got his gold bars. His wife didn’t know anything either.
That’s where the trail ends. However, my great-uncle sent this video to me last night. Matthew then recounted his conversation with his great-uncle in detail.
Finally, he said sincerely, I’ve tried to analyze the video, but it’s difficult for me to stay calm. Every time I see my sister’s miserable condition and how my friends and I almost died in the explosion, I could barely breathe. That’s why I want you to help me analyze this video and see if you can find
any new clues
Athena was curious. “You must know many experts. Why don’t you ask them to help you?”
Matthew looked at Athena deeply. His voice seemed to come from the depths of his soul. “Because I don’t trust them. Miss Donovan, you’re the only one I want to confide my secrets in.”
Athena felt her heart skip a beat as her gaze met Matthew’s. Something surged in her heart, eager to rise to the surface
A moment later, Matthew said in a low voice, “If these videos are leaked, it will cause an uproar. It will be extremely disadvantageous for my sister and me.”
There was no need for Matthew to explain. Athena understood. Once the videos were leaked, it would shock the world.
Matthew and Lucy, as well as all the suspects who had the motive and the ability to do all of this, would be investigated. It would cause a conflict between their family and business and led to a crisis as the public and shareholders lost their trust in the Graham family and the Graham Group
At the same time, as victims, Matthew and Lucy would still be held accountable for not reporting the accident and deceiving the public.

Most importantly, the truck and the truck driver were blown to pieces on the spot and didn’t leave any clues behind. After five years, it was impossible for the police to find the murderer.
Thus, this matter could only be investigated in sectel.
Athena was touched by Matthew’s trust. She nodded. “Alright, I give it a try.”
Her reaction made Matthew feel a little guilty. He was speaking om the bottom of his heart, but he had selfish motives too.
arks. Miss Donovan, Matthew said. “I hope my request isn’t difficult for you, nor does it inconvenience you…
It’s alright. I want to investigate it,” Athena interrupted. Her eyes flashed with a fanatical light. She clenched her fists and said very seriously, Tm very interested in this case. Everyone should play their part in upholding justice.”
