Chapter 146
Matthew was indifferent to Louis's admiration.
However, the way he looked at the champagne softened, as if he saw Athena.
His voice was also elegant and gentle, carrying a faint sweetness. "Miss Donovan is only 18 years old. There's
still a long way to her graduation from university. There's no need to rush. Before the tcomes, | want to
divert the attention of the Graham and the Powell family. | can't let them notice Miss Donovan." Louis replied
with with admiration. "I will definitely do my best to follow your plan and protect you and Miss Donovan's love!
did Mr. Graham mention Miss Donovan's graduation? Of course, it was because he knew Miss Donovan would not
consider marriage before graduating from university. Mr. Graham is so thoughtful! None of the actors | have seen
in the s and romance compare to to Mr. Graham. Louis thought. Matthew turned to look out of the
window. His handsface revealed a suspicious faint red. He said calmly. "Cut the crap. Hurry up and make the
arrangements."
"Okay." Lours turne turned around and left proudly.
After taking a few a few steps, , he suddenly thought t of something and turned to look at Matthew. He said
seriously. "Whether you like it or not, I still have to tell you. Athena might not want to becrich. Becoming
rich might not be a good thing for her either. Thus, it is definitely
not a a gift to help the Donovan family people in secret."
"| know." Matthew turned his head and met his gaze. "I just gave them a chance. It's up to them whether they
want this opportunity or not. If they make a nfor themselves one day, that's their own ability. It has nothing
to do with me!
nodded. He was very satisfied with Matthew's attitude.
Louis nod
"If you think so, you're worthy of Miss Donovan," he said.
At this moment, the sun had already risen and shone on Matthew's slightly red face.
It also shone on Athena's reluctant face. She sat in the car and waved at Jaden. "Jaden, goodbye. I'll give you a
message when | get home." Jaden stood by the roadside and waved at Athena. "Alright, see you next t Athena

time. and drove onto the bridge. The bridge was filled with cars, and she admired the scenery outside as she
drove. Suddenly, a familiar dark green BMW drove over from the front and swept past her car.
Although she could not see the driver clearly, she had only seen such an eye-catching dark green BMW recently.
Could it be that scheming Linda has chased Jaden here? It's completely possible, she thought.
Athena made a prompt decision and drove across the bridge. When she reached the intersection in front, she
turned around and searched for the dark green BMW. She found it quickly
The dark green BMW was parked in the parking lot of the street park by the bridgehead. There was no one in the

the tablet. She took it with her and searched for shade.

One was Jaden, and the other was Linda. The two of them sat facing each other at the stone table. Jaden looked
very calm, while Linda looked very excited. She shook her head and kept waving her hands. Athena quietly
approached and hid behind a big tree to observe what Linda was up to Linda covered her face with her hands.
Tears flowed out from between her fingers. She said, "When | went to the wedding venue. | fell asleep in the car.
When | woke up, | was already lying in an unfamiliar room in another city. My mother and my brothers were all
watching over me. the
"My mother said that my family owed hundreds of thousands of dollars and wantedto marry a rich man to
repay money. But I'd rather die! But they took away my phone and sealed the window. | couldn't escape even if |
wanted to. | couldn't get in touch with anyone. | shouted until my throat was broken, but no one cto save
me... The text that was sent to you was sent by my mother using my phone without permission. She lowered her
hands so that Jaden could see her tears and
pain.
Jaden looked at her silently. There was no joy, no sorrow, no hatred, and no anger on his face. It was as if he was
watching a movie with terrible acting skills. Linda was engrossed in her words. Her eyes were misty with tears,
and she could not see Jaden's expression clearly.
She continued. "I went on a hunger strike for a few days and almost starved to death. They forced food on me
when | didn't have the strength. | pretended to agree to them and planned to escape, but | was still captured by
them." She placed both hands on the stone table and pulled up her sleeves. This is the result of my repeated
resistance."
She had scars left by cuts on both of her wrists. It looked like it had been a long time.
Jaden's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't react.
Linda retracted her hands and hugged herself tightly. She lowered her head and said with a trembling voice, "To
forceto submit, they druggedwith sleeping pills in the water. When | woke up, a man was sleeping
beside me... She covered | her face with her hands again. It seemed that she was in so much pain that she
wanted to die. She continued, "1 thought of death again, but my mother said that if | died, the entire family
would have no choice but to die with me. | have no choice but to marry that man..."
What she regretted the most was that the last tshe met Jaden, she was dressed very well and exquisitely.
She did not show the bad side of her life.
"Jaden, can you forgive me?" she asked in a trembling voice. "If you don't forgive me, | can only..."
Before she could say the word "die", Athena could not take it anymore and jumped out from behind the tree,
throwing a small stone at her.
She cursed, "You liar! B¥**h! After doing such a despicable and shameless thing, you still dare to act pitifully in
front of us How shameless you are!" Jaden was a little surprised to see Athena. "Athena, why are you here?" he
asked,
Athena raised her hand, signaling Jaden not to speak. Then, she placed the tablet on the stone table and opened
the photo on it. She shouted to Linda, "It's all a lie to say that you were drugged, forced, locked up, and had no
freedom!
"On the day of the wedding, you were indeed forcefully taken away by your family, but they didn't imprison you.

She did not give Linda a chance to retort and did not stop talking for a second.
