She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 386

This was especially true for Arthur. He was shocked and frightened by Lindsay's accusation. He stammered, "No, no, it's so We didn't know in advance that you would come to our house. Dad and Mom are working, so we couldn't prepare in advance Maria also stood up and end carefully. "Landery, it's your first rar here. Indeed, we didn't receive you well on your first visit. But we honestly didn't know you would be here. Otherwise, we definitely would have prepared a proper welcome for you.... Alaric frowned. Lindsay, don't criticize Arthur. He didn't do anything wrong...

Joe was a little nervous. She hugged Dolli and hid behind Maria while Athena said. "Miss Dudley, this is your first time here. We did treat you a little casually, but this is also because we treat you as one of us and not an outsider....

"Did you treat me as one of you?" Lindsay slammed the table, stood up, and sneered. "If you don't treat Brandon as one of you, do you think I'm one of you? Do you believe what you said

"Hey, you." Alaric jumped up unhappily and wanted to argue with her, but Arthur grabbed his wrist and shook his head at

him

If there was only one man in their family who could not find a girlfriend, it would be Brandon. It was not that Brandon was not outstanding enough, but with his temper, most girls would not be able to stand it.

It was rare for Brandon to bring a girlfriend home. They had to give in to her for Brendon's sake.

Maria's face was slightly pale. She stood in front of Josie and endured the grievance. "Lindsay, Brandon is our family member. We have always respected and loved him. Do you have a misunderstanding with our family..."

"There's no misunderstanding!" Lindsay interrupted her and glanced at them coldly. The dissatisfaction that she had been holding back finally erupted "When you are living in a luxurious house, driving luxury cars, living a good life, and snugly interacting with celebrities, have you ever thought about how Brandon is living in Aeloria?"

Maria said in a trembling voice, "We... we really don't know..."

"Of course, you don't know!" Lindsay said coldly. "Let me tell you how he lives in Aeloria.

"In his four years in Aeloria, he only did three things. He studied, worked, and slept.

"For the past four years, he only slept four to five hours a day. It's his greatest happiness to occasionally get eight hours of sleep.

"Regardless of the late night of Hanukka or the early morning of Christmas, he was always working because he was paid the highest rate at this time.

"To earn more money, he even worked in some unsafe neighborhoods and was often harassed and bullied. It was also common for him to get robbed. Every time he encountered a robbery, he would rather fight to the death with others than hand over his money. 'Once he was even pointed with a gun on his head.

"And once, the bullet flew past his car. If the bullet bad tilted a ligje more, you would have seen his corpse....

"Do you know how talented he is? He's clearly the most talented person in school. He received scholarships every year, but he still lived a life of eating food at discounted prices every day,

The few people in the Donovan family were stunned when they heard that. They were lost for words for a long time. Tears even welled up in Maria's and Josie's eyes

"We... we really don't know....Arthur was at a loss. His voice was hoarse. "Brandon has never told us about it. But he wouldn't tell us even if we asked him..."

"Just because he doesn't say anything, does that mean you can comfortably enjoy wealth and luxury, thinking he's doing fine in Aeloria?" Lindsay grew even more furious, her voice rising. "After being expelled from school in Aeloria, he didn't even have money to buy a flight ticket home, but he was so proud that he wouldn't ask for help from any of us, his friends.

"Do you know what he did at last? He secretly robbed a few people who had previously robbed him, so he had the money to buy the cheapest flight ticket back to the country...

"Hold on, did you say Brandon was expelled?" Alaric asked, suddenly alarmed. "When did this happen? How come we didn't we know anything about it?"

"You guys don't even know this?" Lindsay was shocked again and said in disbelief, "Brandon's thesis was plagiarized by his advisor, and he was accused by the advisor, almost to the point of not receiving his graduation certificate.

"Are you all really Brandon's family members? Is he really the biological son of your family? Is he really not an adopted or illegitimate child?"

"Of course, Brandon is our biological brother," Arthur said with a pale face. "We didn't know that he was living so hard in Aeloria. It's our fault, but..."

"You still want to defend yourself?" Lindsay angrily picked up the food box on the floor. "This food box is a high-end product of the Vission Group. One set is about 4,000 dollars. Brandon might not be able to afford such a food box even after working hard for a month in Aeloria.

"The watch you're wearing should be worth 15 to 20 thousand dollars, right? But let's not talk about this."

Arthur tucked his left hand behind his back, glancing in surprise at Alaric and thought, "This guy actually gave me such an expensive watch? I've never thought of that!'

Lindsay picked up the phone that Arthur placed on the coffee table and said, "This kind of phone is worth over 200 thousand dollars, sold in limited quantity. You can't find it on the market at all. The only way to get one is to custom order it from the Vission Group, and it's not guaranteed that you can get one even with money."

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Athena in unison, their eyes filled with shock.

This phone was given to Arthur by Athena, and it was actually worth... over 200 thousand dollars. It was really shocking.

Arthur's hands trembled. He instantly felt that it was a sin for him to play games with a phone worth over 200 thousand dollars every day. God might punish him...

"This smart massager!" Lindsay pointed at the semicircular massager. "It's very smart. If it's on the market, it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. Even our company can't develop it.

"And those two owls your family has, they're absolutely world-class, priceless, but one can't even buy them with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Brandon runs an artificial intelligence company, and with all the cutting-edge artificial intelligence your family has, why didn't you help Brandon out?

"If you share the research and development technology behind your artificial intelligence with Brandon, he doesn't have to struggle so hard, constantly hunting for talents, entertaining clients day and night, and begging people."

The more they listened to Lindsay, the more shocked they became. No one cared about Lindsay's accusations anymore; all eyes were now on Athena.

They knew that Harry and Hommy were impressive, but they did not know they were this impressive. Every little thing would easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one would dare casually ask Harry or Hommy for help again after 08:25 Mon, Nov 18 GTO.

"And there're more!" Lindsay, getting increasingly excited, pointed toward the door and let loose everything she had been holding in for a long time. "The two cars in the garage, one is worth about 100,000 thousand dollars, and the other is nearly 200,000 thousand dollars. What about Brandon's car? It's second-hand, barely 20,000 dollars!"

Maria opened her mouth and wanted to explain she initially did not intend to buy such an expensive car. However, everyone had told her that it would affect the company's image if she did not. That was why she bought it.

She also wanted to mention that Alaric's car was a gift from the club because he endorsed that particular car and the endorsement was highly successful. The club considered him as the figurehead and future of the club. They insisted that he should drive a better car, not only to enhance driving safety but also to elevate both Alaric's and the club's value.

She also wanted to say that the family had always wanted to buy Brandon a new car, but he refused, insisting on buying one himself.

But in the end, Maria said nothing.

Lindsay had too much to say. "Brandon, the founder of a company, only has one barely presentable suit worth over 20,000 thousand dollars. The clothes he usually wore were discounted items he bought online, which cost about 20 dollars or so per piece. Even the branded watch he wore to meet clients was borrowed from a colleague.

"I really don't understand. Knowing how hard and frugally Brandon lives, how can you call him a member of your family? How can you say you respect him?"

"It's not the case!" Alaric's face flushed. "We know he's struggling, and we really want to help, but he refuses to accept it..."

"So, Brandon deserves to struggle, right?" Lindsay sneered, her gaze cutting across each person's face like a blade before finally resting on Athena.

"If I'm not wrong, the phone, and the artificial intelligence products, are all gifts from you, aren't they?

"I've always wanted to ask you, if you can give something so valuable to other family members, why can't you help Brandon?

"Do you really consider Brandon a family member?"
