She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 163

Athena asked, "So, can you play tennis?"

"Yes!" Alaric said proudly, puffing out his chest like a proud rooster. "I became a key player on the school basketball team as soon as I started middle school, which gives me free access to the sports complex. They have tennis courts there, and I often play tennis with the tennis team. It's the same even in high school and university. The coach of the tennis team even wanted to recruit me, but the basketball team wouldn't let me go. Well, being a genius means everyone wants you." Athena gave him a thumbs up. "Alaric, you're amazing."

Arthur mocked him. "That's because I didn't finish at University of

Alaric chuckled and gave a thumbs-up while rubbing his nose. He proudly said, "Of course! I'm known at school as the basketball prince and the tennis prince, and have a lot of girls chasing after me." If I had there, you wouldn't have had chance. Athena had heard Arthur was also admitted to the University of Technology with top scores. He had promised to team up with Alaric to create a legend at the university. However, after just one year, he complained that the school wasn't fun. He said that since his major would lead him to work in a factory after graduation, he might as well help their parents sell barbecue instead. Hence, he

he decided to drop out of school, ignoring all the advice from his family.

Athena calculated that the year Arthur decided to drop out of school was also the year Jaden was deceived into marriage.

She reasonably suspected that Arthur made this decision because he didn't want to see their parents and Jaden working so

hard.

Alaric looked down on Arthur and said, "Just look at you with that pretty boy appearance. Your skin is even whiter than a girl's, no chest muscles and your biceps aren't developed at all. You don't have any masculinity at all..."

"I have six-pack abs too!" Arthur exclaimed as he grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. "You jocks are all the same. Just like a big gorilla, you only have a big body and strong limbs, yet narrow minds, judging people only by appearance... Alaric caught the pillow and said, "You're the real gorilla! Your whole family are gorillas..."

The others all turned to look at him.

He covered his mouth with one hand, held the pillow with the other, and lunged at Arthur, "I'll show you the power of a jock right now..." Fortunately, the sofa and living room were spacious enough for them to roll around without worry.

Athena held a fruit platter and ate blueberries while watching them playfully wrestle with curiosity. She secretly thought to herself, 'Could hitting and scolding be a form of affection for them?'

Maria sat

back to everyone, close to the television screen. She happily cracked sunflower seeds while watching a drama starring Andrew.

The drama, which was originally supposed to be wrapped up in twenty episodes, ended up stretching over forty episodes. Tonight, it finally reached its last episode, and Maria couldn't resist watching it. She watched while cursing at the screen. "Plastic face, such a faker! I curse him to never get another role in the future!"

After watching, she picked up her tablet and searched online for news about Andrew, hoping to find gossip about his scandals and any future roles he might lose.

To her disappointment, she found nothing and was so furious that she blurted out, "What a jerk! How can someone with

such terrible acting land the perfect third male lead in a top-tier series like Immortal Heroes? It's outrageous! He must have sold his looks or spent a lot of money to get this role!" Athena sighed quietly upon hearing Maria's complaints.

The girl just couldn't stay calm. She knew watching a drama with that actor would make her angry, but she still watched it and angered herself.

that moment, Claire finished counting the money and remembered something. "Maria, tomorrow is Saturday, and Josie is going to the kindergarten to register. She'll officially start school on Monday. Do you have time to take her to the school to take a look?" After arriving home, Josie noted that Maria had taken care of her the most and was the most familiar with everything about kindergarten.

"Ah! I almost forgot about that, Maria exclaimed, a bit flustered as she patted her head. "Tomorrow, I have a very famous teacher giving me my first lesson, and it feels a bit rude to take a day off Just last week, the renowned expert professor, Cesar Bullock from Dichester Art College, unexpectedly called her. He mentioned that he had come across her design drafts by chance and believed she had great talent. He wanted to take her on as a student and asked if she could attend his at Dichester Art College.

class at

Maria was both flattered and surprised by the call, but also skeptical that it might be a scam. While cautiously explaining that she had to work and that her family's financial situation wasn't good enough for her to attend school in Dichester, she quickly searched for information abo about him online.

Cesar then offered to fly to Kitmore City every weekend to teach her for one to two days, with the location arranged by her.

After confirming that there was indeed such a prominent professor named Cesar Bullock in the industry, she asked if they could have a video interview to avoid any regrets he might have after meeting her in person.

Cesar agreed without hesitation.

When she saw that he looked exactly like the photos in the news, she finally believed that good fortune had truly fallen into her lap, leaving her a bit shocked.

Without hesitation, she accepted Cesar's kind offer.

Even if he had ulterior motives, she wasn't worried. After all, she would choose the teaching location, and she would be

cautious.

She was incredibly happy about this and felt like shouting it out to the whole family.

However, her family didn't realize just how impressive Cesar was. Athena's reputation and status were higher than his, so she felt it would be too arrogant to share such news as a newcomer who hadn't achieved anything yet. Therefore, she decided to keep it a secret and didn't mention it. Upon hearing this, Alaric raised his hand and said, "I'll go! I love little kids!"

Claire glared at him. "Other people go to kindergarten to do serious things, but you just go there to play. I can't rely on you."

Athena raised her hand and said, "I'll go, and I have a car."

Claire smiled and said, "I feel the most at ease when Athena is the one doing things. Go ahead, Athenal"

Then, she glanced at everyone. "It's getting late. Go wash up and sleep. Don't affect tomorrow's work." That night, the Donovan family went to bed early and woke up early the next morning. 15:31 Sun, Oct 13

Chapter 163

In the morning, as Athena just got out of bed, she could faintly hear Josie's cheerful laughter.

While holding her cup of water and brushing her teeth, she pulled back the curtain and walked out to the balcony. There, under the carport across the way, she saw Arthur and Alaric playing basketball.

They had installed a basketball hoop at the edge of the carport, using the empty parking space to play. As they fought for the ball and took shots, they pushed and playfully shoved each other, exchanging playful insults and creating an atmosphere full of youthful energy. "Ah, it's so energetic to see young people playing basketball in the morning!" She sighed inwardly. "If I could see this scene every day, my mentality would probably never age... After brushing her teeth, she called over to josie on the balcony next door, "Josie, get ready to change your clothes and have breakfast, then we'll head to school!"

"Okay!" Josie waved at her and then called down to her brothers, Arthur, Alaric, it's time for breakfast!" After that, she. bounced into the house.

Next, t the entire family gathered together for breakfast, which was a rare occasion.

After breakfast, Jaden went to the hospital to visit his grandparents, Maria headed to class, Arthur took Alaric and their parents to arrestaurant, and Athena drove Josie to a nearby public kindergarten.

When the Donovan family first moved into Mid-Level Mountain Garden, they contacted the principal and teachers of the kindergarten to inquire about Josie's admission.

After learning that Josie lived in Mid-Level Mountain Garden, and seeing how well-behaved and smart she was-already able to recognize characters at just four and a half-the principal and teachers confirmed that the kindergarten still had space. They invited the Donovan family to bring Josie for registration and an interview at the start of the school term, assuring them that, if all went well, she could start immediately Athena was very confident in Josie.

On the way, she asked Josie, "Are you scared of going to a new kindergarten where you don't know the teachers and classmates?"
