She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 431 After the movie, Athena and Matthew went to the flower market and the food fair, eating and drinking. They took a ton of photos, enjoying their ttogether.

Around midnight, Matthew sent Athena back to Mid-Level Mountain Garden before heading back to the hotel. The next morning, he returned to Valemont City to participate in a family gathering. At the stime, intimate photos and videos of Matthew and Athena at the cinema went viral online. It did not take long for a netizen to recognize Athena.

The netizen typed: [Isn't this Athena Donovan, Kitmore University's campus belle and Zayn Donovan's sister? Were they close?] Zayn's popularity was off the charts. Naturally, when suspicions of his sister dating Graham Group's CEO, Matthew Graham, surfaced, it beca hot topic. The entire intewas discussing it.

[Zayn's a big deal, and he's got a solid family background. But honestly, the Graham family is out of the Donovan family's league. These two won't last long.] [Zayn's sister is definitely gorgeous, but there's no way Mr. Graham's gonna marry her. At best, it'll just be a fling.] [Every woman Mr. Graham's been with has been more beautiful than the last, but they've all had it worse. One's dead, and the other lost a baby. Zayn's sister probably won't have it any better...] The Donovan family's members instantly noticed the message and were furious. They immediately got someone to delete the message on the Internet.

Now, they could be said to be very experienced in dealing with such matters. They knew very well who to find and how much money they had to spend to delete such messages on the Internet. Wesley asked, "Athena, do you want to make a statement or ask Zayn to clarify the scandal between you and Mr. Graham?" Athena replied indifferently, "There's no need. Let others talk however they want." The entire family was stunned. "Are you really... not intending to clear it up?" They had all heard about the tragic fate of Matthew's ex-girlfriends and were worried that the lovely Athena would suffer.

Athena said with a smile, "How tiring would it be to always respond to such news? Just leave it be. Let's quickly pack our things and prepare to move tomorrow." Athena focused on packing her stuff.

The Donovan family's members fell silent.

They thought, 'Is Athena indirectly admitting to something going on between her and Matthew?' Although they already guessed it, they were still shocked.

The men in the Donovan family could not sleep well that night. The thought of moving into a huge mansion did not lift their spirits.

Meanwhile, the Graham family and Anabel had heard about the scandal between Matthew and Athena.

The Graham family did not take Matthew's scandal seriously, given what happened with Maladyn and Jaylin. They thought Matthew would soon lose interest in Athena. Anabel thought so, too.

She sneered, saying to Juliet, "Matthew didn't confirm anything. That means there's nothing between them." Juliet could not help but ask, "What if Mr. Graham does?" "So be it," Anabel stated coldly. "Anything goes as long as he doesn't intend to marry that woman." Due to Jaylin's miscarriage, Anabel suffered heavy damage to her reputation, which also led to the Graham family no longer holding her in high regard.

Anabel had heard that the Graham family was already sourcing a new marriage candidate for Matthew. The daughters of prestigious families throughout not just Valemont City, but the whole of Osceiton, were eyeing the opportunity. If she wanted to win back the Graham family's approval, she had to keep a low profile and rebuild her image.

Juliet nodded. "I understand." Deep inside, Julie was tired of helping Anabel keep an eye on the women around Matthew.

Having worked hard to get to her current position, she did not want her job to revolve around acting like a paparazzi in the entertainment industry.

She was no longer short of money. She wanted to focus on a meaningful career. However, Julie did not dare to complain to Anabel, let alone suggest changing jobs.

Just like that, the scandal between Athena and Matthew blew over.

For the next few days, the Donovan family's members were busy with moving.

They usually did so during the night or early morning. When the sky was dark and no one was at the door, they would put their luggage in the car and drive to the mountain in the east.

It took them three to four days to move everything.

Meanwhile, Tina returned to Kitmore City after visiting her hometown.

Upon learning that Maria was moving, she hugged and kissed Dolli, crying: "Boohoo... If you and Dolli won't be here anymore, I have no reason to stay. It's about tmy lease is up anyway... I won't renew it.

I'll move out in a few days.

She had a small apartment and a two-bedroom villa in Kitmore City. Previously, she lived in one and rented another.

Tina rented an apartment at Mid-Level Mountain Garden to persuade Zayn to act as her male lead. Now that Zayn had alreadyet entered the production team to film, there was no need for her too continue living there.

When Maria heard that Tina was moving out, she panicked. "Trina, I'll miss you. Why don't you stay with me?" She continued, "Our new mansion is huge. Everyone has a section to themselves, including me. It's two stories high and has five to six rooms. It's too big foralone to live in." She went on, "If you move in, I'll feel much more at ease." Tina hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. "I can visit occasionally for a stayover, but it'll be too much of a bother if I move in." "Nah," Maria quickly said. "My family is very busy with work. Other than at night and during the holidays, there's usually nobody at home." She continued, "If you move in, it'll be much livelier. I'm sure my parents will love it, too." Tina was still hesitant. "I love the atmosphere your family has, but..." When Claire heard their heard conversation, she smiled and said, .n "Trina, you're practically our family now. We have so many rooms.. Clive here with us. Maria will love having you around too. The house is too big for her." Wesley joined in, "Josie also likes to have a crowd. Besides, Dolli and Bello like you. Don't worry about it." Arthur chimed in as he moved the items, "Yeah, just feel free to move in. Let's play cards when we get the time." Tina liked to play games and was quite good at it. The two of them often tried to top each other in games. Due to the Donovan family's sincerity, Tina was tempted.

After sthought, she said, "All right. I can already tell it'll be nice and Cozy, But I feel bad for living rent-free. How about I pay 4,000 dollars a month?" The monthly rent for the small villa she was renting now was 4,000 dollars.

The Donovan family's new mansion was much better than the small villa she had rented. Besides, it cwith meals, which were bound to be superb. 4,000 dollars a month was honestly lowballing. However, Tina was not that rich. 4,000 dollars a month was her limit. "Keep the money," Claire hurriedly said. "You're friends with Maria and Zayn, and we have so many free rooms. How can we charge you rent?" Maria agreed, "If you talk about rent again, you're not consideringa friend." Tina did not act pretentious. "Then, let's make do with 2000 dollars. If it's any less, I'll feel bad living here." She added, "Like you said, we're friends. I really appreciate your offer, but I want to repay you in sway. Letat least take care of my daily expenses."

Wesley simply waved his hand. "Then it's settled. Trina, if it's convenient right now, do you want to move your things alongside Maria's? Maria can't wait for you to move in." Maria looked at Tina expectantly. "Trina, the new television at our new house is awesome. If you move in now, we can have a movie night." Touched to hear that, Tina nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay. I'll move now." Maria punched her hand into the air and cheered. "I'll help you pack your luggage!"
