She Outshines Them All

She Outshines 58

Chapter 58 That night, many people couldn’t fall asleep on time. Louis was busy making calls and sending messages, instructing his subordinates to immediately deal with the online rumors surrounding Matthew. When Matthew overheard that the matter involved Athena, he casually picked up his tablet to see what was circulating online. It didn’t take long for all the gossip about him and Athena to be wiped clean from the internet, preventing any new posts from gaining traction. However, he came across numerous exposés about the Donovan family. KitmoreWhisperer: [The Donovan family is really messy. Wesley and Claire are only in their carly fifties, yet they have eight children. The youngest, only four or five years old, returned to the Donovan family just over a year ago, supposedly an illegitimate child.] KitmoreInsider: [It seems like their sixth child is also an illegitimate child; she looks nothing like the rest of the family.] ScoopSquad: [I heard the eldest son of the Donovan family was once married, but on the day of the wedding, the bride ran off. He has been hiding out in the countryside ever since.] KitmoreWhisperer: [There are rumors that the second son left the country illegally and hasn’t contacted the family in three years. The Donovan family claims he’s studying abroad, but how could a family as poor as theirs afford overseas education?] Kitmorelnsider. [I heard the third son went to prison, for both robbery and sexual assault…] Matthew frowned slightly at what he saw. Rumors about the Donovan family were swirling, and someone was clearly pulling the strings behind the scenes. The Donovan family was too low-profile to have offended any powerful figures, so it was obvious the mastermind was targeting Athena. “Mr. Graham, should I go ahead and wipe out these rumors too? Louis’s voice suddenly broke the silence. Startled, Matthew looked up to see Louis standing by his side, peering at the tablet in his hand. His eyes, glinting behind his glasses, gave away the fact that he had seen right through Matthew’s thoughts.

With a stoic expression, Matthew replied calmly, “There’s no rush. Let’s see how Athena handles this. If she can manage it we don’t need to intervene. If not, we’ll step in later.” Louis adjusted his glasses, giving Matthew a knowing look. “Mr. Graham, are you testing Miss Donovan’s capabilities?” He was beginning to realize there was more to Athena than met the eye. Yet, despite digging around, he couldn’t quite figure her OUL Matthew nodded. “Keep an eye on her.” Louis’s glasses glimmered as he responded, “Alright.” Meanwhile, Athena, after closing her eyes in thought for a few trinutes, dialed Harry’s number. “Honey, miss me already?” Harry’s voice drawled lazily from the other end. I’ve completed the renovation plan for your family’s duplex and have already hired the workers. We’ll start as soon as I get the green light from your father tomorrow. In three months, your family will be able to move into their new home. Lately, Harry had been managing the affairs at Bard Property. According to his plan, he intended to compensate the Donovan family for the company’s delays in handing over the house and the issues with water leakage by offering a free renovation for their new home. Athena didn’t have any objections to this plan, but this time, she had a different request. She said, “Something came up at home, and they can’t stay there anymore. We can’t wait until the new place is ready. I want to give them the villa at Mid- Level Mountain Garden, but I can’t let them know it’s from me, so I need your help with- Before she could finish, Harry chuckled. “That’s easy. Tomorrow I’ll have someone call your dad and tell him the unfinished 1/2 Chapter 58 house at Bard Garden is beyond repair. As compensation, we’ll offer them a villa in Mid-Level Mountain Garden.“ 95%

“That works,” Athena replied. Though considering the market value of that villa is over 40 million dollars, it wouldn’t make sense to just give it to them like that. I plan to handle it this way. She explained her plan in detail to Harry. “Darling, with your s your status, you really don’t need to worry about such minor details,” Harry remarked dismissively. “But it’s your call. I’ll send someone to clean up the villa tonight and throw in some nice second- hand furniture so your family can move in right away.”“ “Thank you,” Athena said appreciatively. “And there’s one more thing. My sister, who works at Sweet Brew on Meadow Road, is being mobbed by influencers. Can you send someone to get her out?” “No problem, I’ll go pick her up myself and teach those influencers a lesson while I’m at it, Harry agreed. “Don’t worry, I’ll play the role of a hero standing up for justice. I won’t expose my identity” Athena chuckled. “I trust you.” She hung up and walked into her studio, booting up her quantum computer. She stretched her neck, twisted her hips, and cracked her knuckles. “Dark Matter is online,” Athena uttered, her voice as cold as steel Her lips curled into a chilling smile, typing away on the keyboard as she began coding. She was writing a virus designed to target a series of keywords related to her and the Donovan family members such as, “Athena Donovan,” “Top Student of West End,” “Top SAT Scorer of West End, along with “Wesley Donovan” and “Claire Donovan.” The virus would deploy countless “minions, scouring the web for articles and comments containing those keywords. Once detected, it would corrupt the content, turning it into gibberish or deleting it. The virus would also trace the origin of these posts, attacking the computers of those who posted, downloaded, or saved them, causing the system to crash or freeze. Once the targets were eliminated, the virus would self-destruct, leaving no trace behind. By the end of the night, every post and article about the Donovan family would be wiped from the internet, and those responsible would pay the price. While Athena was wreaking havoc on the internet, Zoe was lounging in front of her computer with aThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

face mask on, sipping caramel macchiato and gleefully watching the Donovan family’s scandals go viral. ‘Hmph, I may not be able to beat her, but I can definitely ruin her family, Zoe thought with a sneer. ‘Everyone knows where her family lives now. Does she think they can still live in peace? In the days to come, people will swarm around her family’s house and restaurant. Her family won’t be able to make a living anymore, and they’ll be cornered wherever they go. And don’t forget, every woman in this country wants to marry Matthew. Does she think that hooking up with him will elevate her status, taking her from rags to riches? What a joke. I keep spreading rumors about her and Matthew until everyone in Kitmore City and the whole country believe the two of them are involved! Zoe wanted to make Athena the public enemy of every woman, to be shunned by high society, and to make her life a living hell. She chuckled coldly as she imagined Athena’s downfall, thinking to herself. They all say she’s some kind of untouchable goddess. I can’t wait to see her fall from grace, struggling as some rich man’s plaything, only to be discarded later. When that happens, I’ll write a biography so everyone knows what a joke she really is!
