She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 446 Once the "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" case was solved, as usual, the series was discontinued.

In the past, online series were not regularly discontinued. The fastest was cancelled after two weeks, and the slowest was cancelled after five months.

The series fanatics were crazily discussing the relationship between this book and reality and did not even think of an upcoming installment.

However, a second excerpt of "Lockwood's Detective Diary" was uploaded just three days after the series discontinuation. Fanatics and readers had not recovered from the surprises in the first book, Lockwood had uploaded a 50 thousand-word update in one go.

The readers were stunned.

[What's going on? The second installment has started so soon. We've never received an update this fast before. It's scary.] [Don't you feel like the author is in a hurry? It seems Lockwood can't wait to finish the second book.] [Oh my, I understand. Do you all think Lockwood wants to finish the series as soon as possible and start dating Mr. Graham?] [Maybe Lockwood isn't short of money anymore and is preparing to get married. I think Lockwood wants to quit the online literature world after his second book.] [No, Lockwood has to be like Cameron and Halimuth. Those authors solve cases all the time...] This was the discussion of the readers when treading the updated series.

When the readers started reading the second book, they were astonished.

[The first wife of Mr. Playboy, Magpie, fell off a building and died? Does this installment allude to Maggie's life?] [Oh my god, it really is a book about Maggie. No wonder this book is titled "Magpie's Mayhem." It's so creative and different from the previous title. After all, Maggie is Mr. Graham's mother and Lockwood's future mother-in- law...] [There are rumors about Maggie being murdered by her nanny, but no one knows the inside story. The Graham family also has many secrets. Will Lockwood reveal the truth this time?] [Everyone, look at the latest chapter. It says that Mr. Playboy was drugged for a long time, causing him to lose his male virility. His mistresses took his money and ran away. Oh my god, is this hinting that Nicolas can't have sex?] [Oh my god, if that's the case, Lockwood is quite bold. He will offend Nicolas...] Lockwood had the guts to write such a controversy. Although he made a number of changes, the main plot remained the same.

The book opened with Magpie's death at her son's 18th birthday party. Many guests and family members had a motive to kill her. However, no one else was present when she fell, and there was no video of her falling. The suspects all had alibis, so her case was unsolved. After her death, Mr. Playboy married a young and beautiful new wife. Not long after the new wife entered the house, she fell into the pool from a high place. Her hands and arms were severely fractured and would never be healed.

Bad luck followed Magpie's husband. He had so many mishaps and car accidents and suffered from severe food poisoning.

Magpie's son called Lockwood over to investigate Mr. Playboy's poisoning incident.

Lockwood started with Mr. Playboy's poisoning and moved on to his mistress' injury. Then, he investigated Magpie's fall from the building. He combed through all kinds of complicated and chaotic interpersonal relationships to find the murderer's motive. Among the possible culprits were Mr. Playboy's many lovers and illegitimate children. After the revelation of his complicated relationships, the readers were left speechless.

The readers were all discussing: [Isn't Mr. Playboy's character alluding to Nicolas? Lockwood is simply not holding back any information. He really isn't afraid of offending the prospective father-in-law?] [Above user, are you stupid? Athena must have received Matthew's support and protection to dare to write this...] [If this was written with Matthew's permission, wouldn't it still be a provocation?] [Why do I feel that tension between Lockwood, Athena, Matthew, and the Graham family is so interesting?] The online discussion over the second book quickly moved offline.

According to sources, almost everyone in the Graham family was following the series.

In the Graham family's mansion, Nicolas called Matthew and asked him to cover immediately.

Nicolas called four times in a row before Matthew arrived.

"Tell me, what's going on with this story?" Nicolas was not in good health. Even if he tried to stand for a long time, he still needed to use a cane. He held a cane in one hand and slammed the table with the other. "Athena is your girlfriend, right? Did you ask her to write about our family's case?" Matthew looked straight at him. "Yes! I asked her to write it." "You are a lunatic!" When Nicolas' health deteriorated, he also developed a very bad temper. He pointed at Matthew and said angrily, "These are all family matters. As the saying goes, family scandals should not be aired in public. You got someone to write a about our family's case. What exactly do you want?" "It's just one of your scandals, right?" Matthew sneered. "Didn't your reputation get ruined a long tago? Why are you pretending to care about it now?" His gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp. "Besides, my mother has been gone for so many years. I have to give her justice and let everyone know who killed her!" In the past, no matter how indifferent Matthew's relationship with Nicolas was, he still maintained at least srespect for Nicolas.

However, this time, he dared to be aggressive and confrontational in front of Nicolas.

Nicolas was shocked by Matthew's attitude and beceven angrier. His voice was so loud that the entire mansion could hear him. "What do you mean? What scandals are you talking about? Which ones...?" "Why are you deceiving yourself?" Matthew interrupted him and said coldly, "The whole world knows that you are the notorious Mr. Playboy and the number one scumbag in Osceiton. The women who marry you never have a good life. "With or without this , your reputation will be tarnished!" When Matthew said those words, it was almost equivalent to publicly scolding Nicolas.

Farrah, Loreen, and the servants who were eavesdropping were all stunned. They wondered how Matthew had the nerve to speak to Nicolas like that.

Nicolas was also stunned. He pointed a trembling finger at Matthew. "I'm your father. How dare you treatlike this! Matthew, do you not want to be a part of this family anymore?" Matthew sneered. "I don't want to be in this family anymore!" Nicolas' eyes almost popped out. "You. How..." Matthew continued, "I was polite to you in the past because I wanted to get sof your shares and needed your support on the board." He said it expressionlessly, cold-blooded and callous. "Now, you've lost your influence among the board of directors because of your infirmity and need a long tto recuperate. Most of your shares have becmine. I don't need you anymore."

Matthew had asked Lockwood to investigate Nicolas' poisoning. After fellill, m Nicolas fell ill, Matthew asked Dr. Annie to treat him and also got her special medicine, which half-cured Nicotas. Touched by this gesture, Nicolas gave Matthew a portion of his shares.

In addition, his sister had also given him all of her shares at the Graham Group shares. Matthew had becthe second-largest shareholder of the Graham Group and was not much less than Neil's. That's why Matthew no longer needed Nicolas. Nicolas could not believe his ears. "You, you've been lying toand using me?"

Matthew nodded and did not hide anything. "Yes! After my mother died, I hated you. My respect for you in the past was all an act. I really wished for your death to cas soon as possible!" The entire residence was shocked. Farrah's heart was pounding. She suddenly realized that Matthew would always be kind to her and let her win arguments.

Loreen shivered. She felt that Matthew sounded so scary...

The servants were so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe loudly. They suspected that Nicolas would no longer be the suitable head of the household.
