She Stuns the World - Chapter 373: Chapter 373

Although the Powell family was into politics and was wealthy and prominent, her grandfather was the only one left in the first generation of the Powell family.
Anabel did not have many uncles and aunts. They were either dead, old, or sick. Almost all of them had retired. Those who did not retire were only marginal figures with limited power and influence.
Although she had a lot of cousins, most were mediocre and would never amount to anything. Anabel was the only one.
With her grandfather in charge of the Powell family now, no one could touch them. But her grandfather would be eighty next year. He would not live for long.
Politics was different from business. After the big shots of the business world died, they could leave a lot of money to their descendants.
It wasn't the same for politics. There were many factions and everyone was power-hungry. When a big shot left, if he did not have a capable successor, the power he held would be swallowed by others. His subordinates could not be loyal to his descendants forever.
Based on the information Anabel and her grandfather had, their family's trusted aides and distant relatives were already ready to make a move on them. They had already made plans for after Neil passed away.
Therefore, Anabel needed to marry Matthew as he could help her and the Powell family. Moreover, the marriage had to be held when her grandfather was still in good health. This was why she came to look for Matthew.
However, Matthew was not easy to convince.
The next morning, at 9:30 a.m., Anabel went straight to the Graham Group's headquarters. According to the information she received, Matthew had arrived at the company.
But when she arrived at Matthew's office, the employees said their boss had left the company to deal with urgent matters overseas.
Anabel knew Matthew was hiding from her. She was secretly furious and decided to stay in Valemont City no matter what.
It was at that moment that she saw a scandal online involving Matthew and two women, Joy Lambert and Athena Donovan.
Anabel looked at the photos of the two women with disgust in her eyes. These young girls relied on their youth, beauty, and talent to take shortcuts to marry into a rich family. Yet, they never wondered if they were worthy.
She ordered, "Investigate these two women immediately. The more detailed, the better."
Soon, Athena's information was placed in front of Anabel. It wasn't much, just two pages.
After a quick glance, Anabel revealed a disdainful expression.
Athena came from an extremely ordinary background but was lucky. She once saved Vission Group's higher-up, Harry Freeman, and used his connections to help her family start a profitable business. She was not presentable at all.
Anabel crumpled Athena's information into a ball and threw it into the trash can. She asked her assistant, "Where's Joy's information?"
Juliet said, "Joy went to a secondary school in Swereo. I've already sent someone there to investigate it. We'll hear something back in a couple of days."
Two days passed. Then, three days. Soon, four days were gone, and there was still no news from Swereo. The person they had sent to Swereo had disappeared.
