She Outshines Them All

She Outshines 403

Chapter 403

A few days after the news of Jaylin’s pregnancy spread, Jaylin was in trouble. She was on the trending topics every day. Each day, netizens eagerly followed updates on her story, as if engrossed in a gripping television drama.

“Last night, Mr. Graham brought Jaylin to dinner. As soon as the two of them got out of the car, someone rushed over and splashed the sulfuric acid in the cup at Jaylin. Fortunately, the bodyguards stood in front of Jaylin in time. The clothes on their backs were melted by the sulfuric acid…“.

“When Jaylin traveled to the mall by car, a sudden and unexpected event unfolded. An SUV careened out of nowhere, speeding directly towards her vehicle. Thankfully, Jaylin’s car was built to withstand such impacts, and there were no severe consequences. However, the incident did result in Jaylin being hospitalized for a brief period of two days…”

Similar news made the netizens exclaim.

[This is nothing short of a real–life feud among the wealthy and influential, even more terrifying than what we see on screen.]

[I told you, Anabel would never let Mr. Graham’s illegitimate child be born. Such incidents are only likely to escalate…] [Anabel is too ruthless. She not only took the life of Mr. Graham’s lover but also showed no mercy to the unborn child…]

Anabel saw all these news and discussions.

Before she lost her temper, Juliet told her, “These incidents weren’t orchestrated by my associates. They’re not so foolish as to leave such glaring clues. I believe Mr. Graham or Jaylin staged these accidents to frame you.”

Anabel frowned. “With Matthew and that woman’s calculation, they might be able to do it, but aren’t they afraid of turning it into reality?”

Juliet responded, “Perhaps they’re desperate. If it means causing you trouble, they’re willing to take the risk.”

Anabel fell silent, deep in thought. After a moment, she commanded, “Find someone to deal with Jaylin. Ensure he’s implicated and turns himself in, claiming his actions were driven by jealousy and that he bears full responsibility.”

Juliet immediately understood what Anabel meant.

Jaylin had been the target of numerous attacks, leading netizens to suspect Anabel’s involvement. If even one attack could be proven unrelated to Anabel, it might cast doubt on her involvement in the others.

This strategy could potentially lessen the suspicion and animosity directed towards Anabel.

Juliet immediately replied, “Yes, I’ll arrange it now.”

Juliet spent tens of thousands of dollars and found someone who was willing to finish this task.

However, Jaylin disappeared at this moment. She was nowhere to be seen.

“There are too many people who want to harm her, ” Matthew told the media. “So I’ve already hidden her.”

Since Matthew had hid Jaylin at some place, no one was able to find her.

At the very least, Juliet and Anabel couldn’t find Jaylin.

Upon hearing the news, Anabel was seething with rage. “Is he actually considering letting that woman give birth in secret? I come from a noble lineage. Am I to marry a man with an illegitimate child?”

Juliet was silent. She could imagine that as long as Anabel did not give up the thought of marrying Matthew, this battle

would continue.

In her view, although Anabel was exceptional, she still fell short when compared to Matthew.

If this situation continued, Anabel would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage, but she couldn’t sway Anabel from her course.

After all, Anabel wasn’t one to waste time in recriminations. She quickly composed herself. “Keep sending people to locate that woman. If you find her, take action. If not, don’t lose heart.

Neil’s 95th birthday celebration is approaching. Ensure that our two families successfully announce my engagement to Matthew at the event. That is the priority. The issue with Jaylin can be addressed later.”

As she spoke, a cold smile played on her lips. “Forget about Matthew. He has the capital to do it, after all. However, Jaylin, fully aware that I am betrothed to Matthew, still made such a public show of affection with him.

This is a clear provocation. Once I’m married to Matthew, the matter will be settled. I’ll have ample opportunities to deal with her then.”

Juliet remained silent, her understanding of Matthew telling her that it was utterly impossible for him to marry Anabel. Everything Anabel had done was merely fueling a feud between her and the Powell family.

“Go,” Anaber said calmly. “Continue to keep an eye on Matthew. Report to me if anything happens.

With the disappearance of Jaylin, the feud between the wealthy families in this episode temporarily came to an end.

However, Athena knew that the real battle had yet to begin.

Two days later, Matthew called Athena. “I’m going to attend my grandfather’s birthday party. I’m sure tonight’s party will be very lively. Are you interested in watching a private live broadcast?” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Athena smiled. “Very interested.”

Matthew said, “I’ll make a video call to you now. The live broadcast is divided into 1, 2, and 3. 1 is my perspective, 2 is Louis, and 3 is Jaylin’s. You can switch freely.”

Athena’smouth widened slightly. ‘Matthew actually brought the pregnant” Jaylin to the birthday party? He was clearly trying to cause trouble. Interesting!‘

She sent an “OK” emoji to Matthew. “I’ll prepare snacks and coffee now. I’ll definitely watch the show.”

Matthew smiled. “I will perform well.”

Ten minutes later. Matthew came to Lo Neil’s residence.

Athena had prepared delicious snacks. She sat cross–legged comfortably in her chair and watched the show from Matthew’s

perspective.

The secret cameras on Matthew and the others should be attached to their buttons, allowing Athena to clearly see the faces of everyone at the party. These cameras, equipped with recording capabilities, were state–of–the–art and highly sophisticated.

When Matthew got out of the car with Jaylin, everyone looked at him in shock.

Their astonished gazes shifted from Matthew to Jaylin, filled with palpable disdain, disgust, and rejection. Yet, they remained silent, their disapproval expressed only in hushed whispers.

Matthew greeted everyone.

An elder scolded Matthew, “How can you bring such a woman to your grandfather’s birthday party? Do you want to

embarrass the Graham family?”

“You can’t insult her,” Matthew said coldly. “She’s my lover and the mother of my son. Please show some respect. Also, whether or not I can bring the mother of my child to the birthday party is up to Grandpa. You can’t represent Grandpa.”

The elder was very unhappy. “Matthew, as the CEO of the Graham Group, if you can’t discern who is worthy of attending such a prestigious birthday party and who is not, then perhaps you don’t deserve the scat you occupy.”

Matthew responded with a calm assertiveness, “It’s not your place to determine my worthiness for this position. I’m here to pay my respects to Grandpa. Are you planning to continue stopping me, preventing me from seeing him?”

The elders did not dare to stop Matthew.

Reluctantly stepping aside, the elder turned to Jaylin and offered a condescending piece of advice, “Miss, I have some advice for you. It’s imperative to recognize your boundaries. Failure to know where you belong and where you don’t can lead to dire consequences.”

Jaylin smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, “Thank you for your teachings, but Matthew said that with him around, I can do whatever I want.“/

Laughter sounded all around.

The elder said, “Very good. Then let’s see what will happen to you.”

Matthew guided Jaylin through the expansive vestibule and into the grand hall, crafted from solid wood and exuding an air of antiquity.

Athena then spotted Anabel and Anabel’s grandfather seated beside Neil. She couldn’t help but muse to herself, “The caliber of tonight’s birthday party is truly exceptional.”

Neil was the leader of the business world, while Derrick was a heavyweight in the political arena. Together, they epitomized the pinnacle of wealth and power within the nation.

Everyone who was anyone was in attendance, not to mention the other dignitaries of wealth and influence. Through the camera, Athena observed that every guest was a renowned business magnate, a political heavyweight, or celebrities and socialites frequently featured in the media.

It was a gathering that rivaled any summit forum, high–profile meeting, or star–studded event in terms of the sheer number of prominent figures assembled.

Anabel was chatting and laughing with Neil when she suddenly saw Matthew enter with Jaylin. Her smile instantly stiffened as her gaze stared fixedly at Jaylin and Jaylin’s belly.

Athena could even see the murderous intent in the depths of Anabel’s eyes.

She could not help but be curious. ‘Would Anabel make things difficult for Jaylin in public?‘
