She Stuns the World - Chapter 402: Chapter 402

Brandon said confidently, "I will definitely make the smart bot of my dream a reality. In the near future, every household will have access to a smart bot."
Athena asked, "Brandon, have you decided which company you want to work in?"
Brandon was serving himself some tuna casserole. He paused for a brief moment when he heard Athena's question. Then, he regained his composure and said, "I want to start my own company, but it's an unrealistic idea at the moment. I plan to help Jaden with farming first to earn some capital. Then, I'll take out a loan or find a few partners to start a company. This process will take at least a few years."
Athena saw the bitterness in Brandon's eyes and did not continue probing. She encouraged him, saying, "Brandon, you're still young. There are plenty of opportunities. There's no rush. Take it slow."
It had been a long time since Brandon last had Claire's home cooked meal.
He wolfed down a big plate of baked pasta, some tuna casserole, a few chicken wings, and a serving of sauteed mushrooms. What he ate was enough to feed two grown men.
There were still plenty of leftovers for Brandon to heat up for another meal or two.
Brandon exclaimed, "This is so delicious! There's nothing better than a home cooked meal!"
As he wiped his mouth with a napkin in satisfaction, he packed the remaining food. He narrowed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of the food. With a satisfied expression, he muttered, "I feel very happy now."
He continued, "I will never want to go abroad again for the rest of my life. I want to stay close to home. At least I'm back now."
Even though Brandon did not spell it out loud, Athena could tell that he had been living a difficult life overseas for the past few years.
Athena listened to his mumbles silently.
A few minutes later, Brandon carefully closed the lunch box and said, "Athena, I'm going to work. Do you want to go home now? Or do you want to stay here?"
Athena said, "I'm going home. I'll give you a ride on the way."
She was meeting Matthew at night.
Therefore, she had to finish her work during the day.
At night, Matthew once again rushed over from Valemont City to treat her to a meal.
Athena said bashfully, "Why don't I treat you to a meal at Valemont City next time?"
Matthew shook his head in disagreement and said, "No. It's better for me to come to Kitmore City to see you. There are too many people spying on me in Valemont City. I don't want the Graham family to notice you."
Athena asked curiously, "Is the Graham family really that scary?"
Athena was astonished by the precautions Matthew had taken to protect Lucy and her over the past few months.
Her curiosity was piqued.
Matthew gently turned the glass in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, "For me, they're not scary. However, I am worried that people I care about will be hurt again, just like my mother and my sister."
Matthew looked up and stared into Athena's eyes. He said in a low voice, "If you get hurt by the Graham family because of me, I'll never be able to forgive myself."
Athena thought, 'What he said sounds like a confession.'
Athena blushed, but it went unnoticed due to the dim light. She said, "I've heard about what happened to your sister. As for what happened to your mother... Can you tell me about it? As you're aware, I'm a detective."
Matthew thought, 'Did she just admit that she is Lockwood?'
Matthew was not surprised by Athena's confession.
However, he was happy that Athena had taken the initiative to tell him her identity. After all, Athena had been keeping it a secret from everyone else.
"I'm willing to tell you everything." Matthew was silent for a few seconds before he continued, "Up until now, I still can't figure out how my mother fell off the building."
Matthew then went on to tell Athena about the death of Maggie.
