She Stuns the World - Chapter 160: Chapter 160

Maria rubbed her nose in embarrassment. "It's not much. It's just over 100 dollars. I can treat you to a good meal."
At this point, she suddenly exclaimed and stood up. She picked up her phone and sent a message. "We agreed that I would treat Dwayne tonight but I drank too much and forgot to pay. He ended up treating me again. I must return the money to him."
A moment later, Maria said, "Gosh! He refused to accept it again. He said I can treat him next time."
Athena smiled and did not speak. Dwayne's tricks did work very well on inexperienced girls.
Maria smiled in embarrassment, "Dwayne is really nice. He knows how to take care of people. He always said it's not easy for people like us who started working at a young age so we should take care of each other."
Athena observed Maria's expression. "You like Dwayne, don't you?"
"N-no," Maria explained with a red face, "I only like him a little." At this point, she sighed, showing her habitual inferiority complex and sensitivity. "Dwayne is very popular with girls and customers. The hair salon he works at is big. He's the most popular there.
"I'm so mediocre. Without my family, I wouldn't even be able to support myself. That's why I don't dare to think about dating him."
Hearing this, Athena understood everything she needed. She didn't say anything else and stood up with a smile. "It's past eleven. Don't you have interviews tomorrow? Go shower and sleep. Don't stay up late."
When Athena returned to her room, she received an iMessage friend request from someone named "Nice Guy Dwayne".
Athena sneered and ignored it. A few minutes later, she received another text message. [Hello, I'm Maria's friend, Dwayne Nelson. I met you this evening. Is Maria home yet? Is she sober?]
Athena was going to ignore Dwayne, but after thinking about it, she replied: [Thanks for asking. We're home. Maria is fine.]
After sending it, Athena also added Dwayne as a friend through his iMessage account. She also saved his name as "Not-That-Nice Dwayne". She had to give Dwayne a chance to work his way on her so that she could catch him on it.
When the friend request was approved, Dwayne immediately sent a smiley face. [Hello, Athena. Nice to meet you.]
Athena: [How do you know my name?]
Dwayne: [Maria told me after a few beers. She even praised you as a prodigy and asked me to add you on iMessage so I can learn Maiselish from you.]
Athena almost laughed out loud. She replied: [Okay, but it's late now. I'm going to sleep.]
Maria would never say such a thing to Dwayne, let alone give Athena's number and iMessage to him. It was very likely that he had secretly taken note of Athena's contact details when Maria was not paying attention. As Athena had thought, Dwayne was full of tricks.
Dwayne said considerately: [Okay, good night. Girls should go to bed early so they can look beautiful the next day.]
Athena ignored Dwayne. She washed up and went to sleep.
When Athena fell asleep, Matthew was sitting in front of his computer, inserting the USB drive that his great-uncle had given him into his tablet. He was not looking forward to watching this video.
However, the moment the video started playing, he was like a lazy tiger whose tail had been stepped on. He became dangerous and sinister.
The video was very long, nearly an hour and a half.
He interlocked his fingers and leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the video. After watching it from beginning to end, he slowed down some of the footage and studied it repeatedly. Then, he opened a complex software and put the video into it to analyze.
Louis quietly pushed open the door and walked in with a tray. He placed a plate of pasta and a bowl of pudding beside the computer. "Mr. Graham, it's already two in the morning. Aren't you going to sleep?"
Matthew leaned back and massaged his temples. "Look at this video."
Louis was stunned after taking a few glances at it. He leaned forward, one hand on the table while the other controlled the mouse. He kept adjusting the speed of the video, his eyes almost blazing. "It's the video of the car accident? The mastermind must be nearby. How perverted. How can he or she do such a crazy thing and even watch and record it?"
By the time Louis finished watching the video, Matthew had already finished his pasta and pudding. He slowly wiped his hands with a towel. "I'm analyzing the video to see if I can use the drone and track down its operator."
Louis looked at the time again. "Do you intend to work on it all night?"
Matthew asked calmly, "Do you think I can sleep after watching this?"
Louis adjusted his glasses. A glint flashed across his eyes. "Mr. Graham. I've checked. Miss Donovan once won the Youth Drone Programming and Operating Competition, Youth International Physics Competition, Math Olympiad, Youth Computer Programming Competition, and so on. Why don't you ask her for help?"
Matthew turned his head slightly and looked at Louis coldly.
Louis sighed and said, "Mr. Graham, don't take this the wrong way. I'm not saying you can't do it. What I mean is that you can use this opportunity to get close to Miss Donovan. She's on summer vacation now, so I don't think she's very busy.
"Just ask her out for a meal and ask her to do you this favor. Whether she helps or not, you two can become closer and know each other better, right?"
If Matthew could not figure this out, Louis could only complain to himself about how useless Matthew was until morning.
Matthew closed his eyes and did not speak for a long time. Then, he turned off the video and turned off the tablet. "It's time to sleep."
Louis picked up the food tray and said respectfully, "Rest early. I'm leaving."
After walking out of the room, Louis gently closed the door and showed a victory sign. "Yay!"
