Matthew spoke with quiet authority. "I caught a glimpse inside her car. Everything's top-of-the-line, and she might even have Skywrought—a rare material I've been hunting down for years."
Louis's eyes widened with disbelief. It would be remarkable if Athena genuinely possessed such a valuable resource and used it in an ordinary car.
Matthew continued, "She's also done a serious upgrade to the engine and tires. Her car's performance could easily match that of a luxury sports car."
Louis knew all too well how sharp Matthew was when it came to cars. He was amazed. "Incredible! It's crazy to see someone so young and so damn talented."
Matthew nodded. "The industry's still scratching their heads over how Isaac Kennedy locked down that deal with Vission Group. Athena might be the missing piece to this whole puzzle.
"And then there's this strange connection between the Kennedy family and Dr. Annie. From what I've heard, Isaac's mom is really fond of Athena. That girl could have some valuable intel on how to get to Dr. Annie."
Louis caught on quickly. "I'll arrange to dig into Athena."
Before long, they arrived at an upscale residential complex and watched as Athena drove inside. Although they could've followed her in, Louis chose to stay back, curious about what he was seeing.
Louis said, "Athena's biological parents are dirt poor, and Isaac Kennedy is known to be a tight-fisted bastard. There's no way the Kennedy family gave her much. Yet she's living in a luxury estate where apartments cost 40 grand a square foot and driving a beast of a car. She's definitely not hurting for cash."
Matthew, still cool and detached, instructed, "We'll keep a close watch on her tonight and pick up the trail tomorrow."
Louis was more intrigued by Athena than ever and answered with newfound energy, "Got it, Mr. Graham."
They then settled in for the night in their SUV.
Athena had noticed the unfamiliar car tailing her but chose to ignore it. She had nothing to hide since she was heading to her private apartment, not her secret lab.
Besides, Athena was confident no one could touch her, no matter what they found. After arriving at her place, she freshened up, switched her phone to silent, and fell asleep almost immediately.
The next morning, Athena woke up to find two missed calls and several text messages from the same unknown number. The tone of the messages was polite and respectful.
One read: [Hello, Athena. This is Wesley and Claire Donovan. We tried calling earlier, but your phone seemed to be off. We thought you might still be resting, so we're sending this message instead.]
Another message followed: [We live quite far from you, and our place can be a little tricky to find. Would you like us to pick you up?]
Athena scrolled down to the last message: [Here's our address. But we'd be happy to pick you up if you'd prefer.]
Athena's expression softened as she felt the warmth in their words. She replied: [Thank you. I'll come on my own and should be there around noon.]
