She Outshines 28

Chapter 28 Wesley and Claire were both surprised and delighted as they picked up their bottles of supplements and carefully read the instructions. “Athena, your lab is amazing. It seems like they can develop anything.” Wesley remarked. Athena smiled. “Yes, I’m really lucky to be part of such a cutting edge research team.” Tll bring you samples of any new products our labs develops for you to try.” “Athena, Athena,” Arthur said, playfully pressing his fists to his clun and pretending to look pitiful. “What about my gift? What did you get for me?” Athena reached into her bag and pulled out a box, opening it to reveal its contents. “Arthur, this is a prototype of the new super smartphone our lab just developed.” “It has satellite positioning and an automatic alarm system. It’s waterproof, fireproof, shockproof, and theft-proof. You can read the manual for more details” Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight of the phone. It looked incredibly sleek and high-end. Good thing it was just a prototype; otherwise, it would cost a fortune. “Thank you, Athena.” Arthur said happily, taking the box and examining the phone, quickly navigating through its interface. The phone was preloaded with all the essential apps, ready to use. He opened the settings to check the phone’s. specifications. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. The memory, the storage, the high-definition camera-is this for real? This phone’s memory and storage are bigger tha three regular computers combined, and the HD camera is like a mini DSLR.” he cried. Tve never heard of such an advanced phone on the market…” Athena chuckled. “That’s why it’s a prototype from the lab, not yet available for sale. It’s for you to try out. Read the manual carefully: I won’t explain further.” Arthur was at the age where having a good phone was essential, especially since he was good- looking. This phone’s features and specifications were far beyond simple, and it would cost a seven-figureText © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

sum on the market. But she didn’t mention that to avoid overwhelming the family. Maria watched with envy. Josie and Arthur’s gifts were so practical and suited them perfectly. What would Athena give her? She wasn’t as capable as Arthur or as adorable as Josie. Would Albena like her? As she worried, Athena took out a cloth bag from her purse and retrieved a folded leather item. Everyone quickly set aside their gifts to see what Athena had brought this time. Athena unfolded the leather item. It was a shoulder bag for women The bag was a versatile light brown, with a simple design and a slightly larger size. The front was adorned with two intertwined silver metal clasps, an “S” and an “H The bag’s style wasn’t trendy, but it was very appealing. At first glance, it seemed “nice.” On the second look, it was “really beautiful.” By the third glance, it was hard to look away, and people began to praise it: “The design of this bag is stunning, with exquisite craftsmanship. Every detail is perfect, and the overall look is so harmonious. It’s like a work of art.” 1/2 Chapter 25 967%, Everyone present found the bag increasingly attractive, as if they were admiring a piece of art. With each passing second, Maria’s eyes widened with admiration. After a while, she finally spoke, incredulous, “Is this a ‘Yonder bag?” “Yonder?” Arthur looked puzzled. “What’s a Yonder?” “Yonder” is a women’s fashion brand under Vission Group, Maria explained excitedly. “Their products include bags, clothes, shoes, and jewelry, but they never advertise, so most people don’t know about them.” “But in the industry, Yonder’ is known for having the best quality, combining artistry and practicality, with designs that are uniquely stylish and beautiful. I’ve always loved Yonder’s designs and dreamed of owning one of their bags, but they’re incredibly

expensive, usually in the seven-figure range… Maria said, suddenly biting her lip and glancing at Athena, unsure whether to continue. Given the price of Yonder products, it seemed unlikely that the bag Athena gave her could be genuine, no matter how high- quality it appeared. Of course, she didn’t mean to sound ungrateful- she just realized she might have misspoken. Athena understood what Maria was thinking and smiled. “Yonder’ collaborates with our lab, which provides them with the special synthetic leather used in this bag. I designed this bag myself, with Miss Yonder’s permission and approval.” “You could consider it an unofficial Yonder product. Athena winked. Maria’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “You know Miss Yonder?” Athena nodded with a smile. “Yes, I do.” “Oh my gosh, Athena, you’re so lucky! Maria hugged the bag, her cheeks flushed with excitement. “Miss Yonder is my number one idol! My biggest dream is to become a designer like her and create unique, timeless jewelry.” Realizing she might have gotten carried away, Marja sheepishly rubbed her nose. “But I’m just an ordinary girl. How could I ever become a master like Miss Yonder? I’m just dreaming. Don’t take it seriously.” Arthur, puzzled, asked, “Maria, who is Miss Yonder? Why do you admire her so much?” Maria’s eyes lit up with admiration as she explained enthusiastically, “Miss Yonder is the founder and top designer of the Yonder brand. She doesn’t design many pieces, but each one is unique, with a distinctive style and aesthetic, often called the most wearable works of art.” “Because her designs are so rare and in high demand, they’re usually acquired through auctions, with starting prices in the millions.” Maria continued. “Some of her pieces are even held in top museums. Hearing this, Claire expressed her admiration. “Listening to you, I want a piece by Miss Yonder too! When our family prospers. I’ll buy each of you a Miss Yonder creation so we can all experience the allure of luxury.” Athena simply smiled, saying nothing. “Yonder’ is more than just a luxury brand; it’s essentially high-

tech everyday wear. That’s impressive,” Arthur said, amazed. “Is Miss Yonder a man or a woman? How old is she? Is she a designer from our country?”
