She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92
Matthew smiled. His eyes were slightly curved, his teeth were white, and even his bald head shone more. “Miss Donovan, you’re so cute.
Athena blushed and quickly found a topic to cover her shyness. But now that your sister survived and returned, will the murderer make another attempt on her again?”
“Maybe,” Matthew smiled faintly. Tm not afraid of the murderer making a move. I’m more afraid that the murderer won’t do a thing.”
Athena understood what he meant. “That’s true”
After that, she continued to study the video. Her eyes were unblinking as her fingers occasionally swiped on the keyboard. She first looked at the important parts.
She was like a straight-A student who just encountered an interesting problem she had never seen before. She would not be satisfied until she solved it.
Matthew played with the cup and watched her quietly. It was said that one was the most attractive when one was working seriously. It was the same for both genders.
The evening breeze blew across their cheeks. There was a hint of heat in the coolness and a hint of restlessness in the
silence.
Half an hour later, Athena looked up. “I’ve mostly finished watching it. Perhaps I can give it a try.”
She quickly gave her preliminary conclusion. “You and your great-uncle have investigated the truck, the truck driver, the murderer who called you, and the person who sent the video to your great-uncle. None of them provided any clues. The only lead is the drone.
“This video was taken between two and four in the morning. This drone was able to capture such clear video from high up and from a distance. It could also be operated with precision and has a long battery life. This was not an ordinary drone, but it was not a military drone either.
“Military drones don’t make that much noise. Civilian drones like that are not common in the market. It is indeed a clue.”
A look of admiration appeared in Matthew’s eyes again. “Great minds think alike. Miss Donovan, you are indeed a genius. I have a feeling you are my lucky star again.”
Athena smiled broadly. Her eyes shone with enthusiasm. “Can you send this video to me? Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone else see it.” She added, “I promise there won’t be any more accidents this time.”
“Of course Matthew nodded. “No matter what you do, I will support it.”
Athena blushed slightly. “It’s half past eight. I should go back. I’ll tell you when I have some clues.
Athena was extremely eager. It had been a long time since she had encountered such a challenging case. Lockwood finally had a job.
Matthew smiled, “Alright, I’ll send you back.”
Athena pointed out sternly, “You had alcohol just now.”
Matthew nodded. “So you’ll have to drive us.”
Athena blinked in shock. He was sending her back but she got to drive. She couldn’t believe his logic.

However, she was very gentlemanly and refused to argue with him over such a small problem.
Thus, she drove Matthew home while Louis followed them in Matthew’s car. It felt weird.

When they reached the entrance of her neighborhood, Matthew did not enter. He got out of the car at the entrance and watched Athena disappear before getting into his car.
After the car started. Matthew crossed his arms and looked out the window. He said indifferently. “I promised to give Miss Donovan a gift the week before last. Have you found him?”
Louis, who was driving, said. “Yes, we found the target. But the rat bastard is sly and excels at hiding. We’re attempting to capture him now. He’s a sitting duck. He’ll be caught soon.”
“Hurry up” Matthew closed his eyes. “I don’t want to delay what I promised her.”
“Okay, sir.” Louis observed his boss from the rearview mirror. He was quite satisfied with his boss’s performance tonight..
After Ather entered the living room of the annex building, she heard voices coming from the main hall. It seemed that there was an eager discussion going on. After some thought, she walked over via the corridor to see what they were talking
about
Wesley’s voice was a little unconvinced. “What’s wrong with opening a restaurant in Bard Garden? I can pick you up every day and save you a lot of time. Also, our company is currently having discounted rentals and sales. Regardless of whether you rent or buy, you can get a discount.
“I can help you with the renovation too. When I’m free, I can go to the restaurant to help. What do you not like about that?”
Arthur sat cross-legged on the sofa. As he played games on his phone, he said, “I stayed in that area for years. I don’t want to stay there any longer. Besides, that place is too far from home. Ed like to work somewhere closer to home with Mom.
“The consumption level in that area is relatively low too. If you open a restaurant there, you can’t set the price high. The profits are limited. I don’t want my mother’s fine cooking to earn peanuts.”
Maria also pointed out, “Mom’s cooking is delicious. It’s much better than the internet-famous restaurants and well-kno restaurants I’ve been to. I hope Mom will take a more high-end route instead of relying on high sales volume to maintain profitability.”
Claire said, “Arthur and I have been to many places lately. There are suitable shop nearby, but the rent is too expensive,
“Although Wesley has found a good job, home expenses have also increased. Moreover, Wesley’s job hasn’t stabilized yet. It’s still too risky for us to rent such an expensive shop now, Why don’t we open a small restaurant at Bard Garden first? After saving up, we can consider opening a restaurant nearby.”
‘Open a restaurant?’ Athena’s heart skipped a beat at that thought as she walked into the living room. “What kind of restaurant do you want to open, Mom? Maybe I can help

Everyone waved at Athena. “You’re here, Athena. Sit down. We only need your opinion now.”
After Athena sat, Arthur moved the plate of fruits to her. “Athena, have some fruits. They’re very fresh.”
Thanks, Athena smiled. She picked a slice of fruit with a fork and ate it slowly.
Claire sighed. “I want to have a lot of autonomy in the restaurant want. I don’t want to follow the customers’ opinions all the time home and eat with family. But no restaurant operates so freely
open. I want to cook whatever I want and do whatever I or do I want to work long hours. I want time to stay at

Athena asked curiously, “Mom, you seem to know a lot about opening restaurants?”

“Of course!” Wesley patted his wife’s thigh and said proudly, “Athena, you don’t know, but your mother’s restaurant was very popular in the past. It was even selected as one of the best diners in Kitmore City. Many leaders and celebrities ate there.”
Athena’s interest was piqued. “Tell me about it, Dad,”
Claire pinched her husband’s thigh and said angrily. “It was many years ago. What’s there to talk about?”
Wesley said. “Of course, there is. How can we not let the children know how capable you were in the past?” He turned to the children and started, “Your mother learned to cook when she was three years old…
Arthur immediately shouted, “Dad, last time you said Mom started cooking when she was five.”
Wesley glared at Arthur. “She learned to cook at the age of three and could cook on her own at the age of five. Is there a problem? Children from poor rural families, especially girls, learn to do housework when they were young. At four, they have to care for farm animals. At five, they have to care for their younger siblings. It’s very normal.”
Maria nodded vigorously. “Yeah, it’s really like that.”
