She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 313

It had only been a few days since Athena returned from the countryside.

Athena bumped into Archie again on campus.

She didn't see Archie at first.

It was Archie, who spotted her. He quickly ran over and stood in front of her. He smiled and said, "Athena, it's been a while since I saw you. You've become even prettier. I've missed you so much." Athena didn't like how Archie was being all buddy-buddy with her.

She was disgusted by his words. "Stop your goo-goo nonsense," She took out a high-concentration insecticide, "or I'll make sure you stop for good."

"Come on, don't be like this. It's not like I'm going to force you into anything." Archie took a few steps back, took out his face

mask, and put it on. "Listen to me first and see what I have to offer you before thing."

Athena looked at him peevishly.

Why am I always bumping into cuckoo men?' she grumbled in her head.

e you decide i want to spray me with that

Archie quickly added the details. "Isn't your father the general manager of a very Property?

estate

company called Bard

"The company is in the third phase of its development now and is preparing move on to the fourth and final phase. It requires a lot of loans.

"However, the company has already loaned about 100 million dollars for the third phase. It's going to be a tough task to get another 100-million-dollar loan again. "With that being said, I can help your father out with this 100 million dollars with my capability and connections.

"Seeing what I'm ready to provide, it should be worth it for you to be my girlfriend, right?"

Archie didn't dare to meddle with Joy as she seemed to be a couple with Matthew. That was why he tried his luck with Athena.

He didn't believe that Athena could be so saintly

to disregard the bulk of fortune that was about to fall on her.

Athena was so tempted to roll her eyes right in front of Archie, but she held back and squeezed a smile. "It's a family matter, and there's nothing for you to worry about."

Athena believed that her family knew how to deal with stuff like this, and they didn't need her to oversee their every move.

Athena didn't ask much about how Bard Property was doing. She knew that the

second phase had been successfully delivered long ago, the third phase had almost reached ten stories, the designs and blueprints for the fourth phase had already been approved and the company was currently laying the foundation and progressing smoothly with it. currentlylaying

If the company had difficulties with the loan, she would let Harry and Rufus handle it. Archie was in no position to tell her what to do.

"You're the person I care about the most. Of course, your family's problems are mine too." Archie was a natural at saying such mushy things. He never felt ashamed. "I meant every word I said, and I won't go back on my word."

After saying that, he glanced back toward his car and sneered. "You know Gia. She's my new girlfriend.

"Do you remember that her family wanted to develop that piece of land in the

Cast of the city? They needed at least a billion dollars in capital, but Kennedy Group is a shell corporation. The bank would never lend them money.

"Meaning, there were only two ways for the Kennedy family to raise money. One was to seek cooperation with the Harper family, the Murray family, the Randolph family, and other large companies to fork out a portion of the funds together; the other way was to find a reliable guarantor and persuade the bank to take out a loan. "Now that the Harper family and Murray family are in decline and their assets have shrunk greatly. The banks won't trust them very much.

"As for The Randolph family, they aren't that close to the Kennedy family and refused to be the guarantor. They only promised the Kennedy family to participate in the development if a loan could be secured.

He then said proudly, "After Gia became my girlfriend, not only did I participate in the development of that land, but I also asked my father to come forward and ask the companies under Graham Group to be the guarantor for Kennedy Group.

"Kennedy Group received a large loan from the bank because of this. They have already prepared the land in the east of Prool City. They're going to build a high-end residential district

"See how I'm super generous and nice to my girlfriend?

"Come on, just be my girlfriend. You won't lose out."

grudgefully but did not say a word when she saw Archie pestering Athena. punched the steering wheel

Gia knew what kind of person Archie was and had never expected him

be loyal

She only wanted Archie to help her and the Kennedy family.

Archie did indeed fulfill his promises. Not only did he help the Kennedy family get a bank loan, but he also invested in Gia's new studio, introduced many clients to her, and shared his connections with her.

Not only that, Archie also helped Andrew get several major supporting roles in big film productions so that Andrew wouldn't be flushed out of fame by upcoming artists.

With the support of Archie, once the over 50 acres of land in the east of Prool City was successfully developed, the Kennedy family would regain its wealth and be able to recover its former glory.

That was why Gia endured this relationship with Archie. It was a relationship built on benefits and not romance.

'Anyway, rich men are all the same. Look at Matthew, who claimed he has no interest in women. Isn't he stuck between Madalyn and Joy?' she thought.

The rise and fall of her family in the past year also made her realize that there were social divisions even between the affluent.

For example, a top-notch wealthy family like the Graham family could easily manipulate an average wealthy family like the Kennedy family. Even the Graham family's illegitimate son had the power to steer the Kennedy family's future. It was something Gia would never be able to achieve.

She still had a long way to go if she wanted to reach the pinnacle

Athena wasn't interested in whatever happened to the Kennedy family at all.

When she heard that the Kennedy family had received Archie's support, she was nonchalant. "Our entire family can fend for ourselves. We don't need you to lend a helping hand." She defended.

"Don't say that," Archie tried to win her over. "I know you're talented and capable, but why should such a beautiful angel like

"Isn't it much better to find a tall, rich, and handsome man like me, who can give you a luxurious life in return for nothing? Even if I decided to dump you one day, the money I had given you would be enough for you to just chill for the rest of your life. There's nothing for you to lose." Archie then added, "I'm not a stingy guy like Lucas. he's only paying you 1 million dollars for you to be with him for five years. I'd say your five years of youth is worth about 100 million dollars."

Athena didn't want to talk to him anymore. She looked past him and waved her hand. "Matthew, your illegitimate brother is bullying me."

Archie's body stiffened and his face turned pale. His smile disappeared instantly without a trace.

'What is Matthew doing here? Don't tell me he's here to give me a beating. Do I still have time to run?'

Cold sweat broke out on Archie's forehead as he stiffly turned around.

He didn't see Matthew and wondered where the latter could be hiding.

Archie was like a little deer that knew it was being targeted by a tiger. He carefully observed his surroundings, trying to see where the tiger was hiding.

Gia couldn't stand it anymore and drove to his side. "Athena has already left. What are you looking for?"

Archie was shocked. He turned around and saw that Athena was nowhere to be seen.

'Did Athena just tricked me?' he thought.

He wasn't angry at all. Instead, he touched his chest and said, "As expected of a straight-A student. She's really smart. She knows what I'm most afraid of! Well, well, what can I do? I'm starting to like her more."

Gia subdued her anger and smiled. "Archie, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and pick up my brother."

Archie was very popular with the opposite sex, and he had a wide network of connections.

Tonight, he was going to introduce some rich women and big shots from the industry to Gia and Andrew. The dinner appointment was very important.

When Archie heard that, he immediately jumped into the car. "Let's go, let's go. We can't let the beautiful ladies wait for us."
