She Outshines Them All



Joy's answer did not surprise Nellie.

However, Nellie's body was still cold when she heard that. She was disappointed, but her throat was dry and hoarse. Her lips trembled slightly. "Have you... been lying to me?"

She thought, 'Joy could lie to anyone, but how could she lie to me?'

"No, I'm not lying to you." Joy smiled and sat down in the rocking chair opposite Nellie. She rested her hands on the armrests, looking more like a queen than Nellie did. "It's you who's lying to yourself, isn't it?"

Nellie was speechless.

After waiting for a moment, Joy said calmly, "We survived when we were weak. There's no reason for us to be afraid when we've already come this far."

Nellie took a few deep breaths and regained her composure. "We can't let everything go to waste. The Donovan family's matter must be completely resolved."

Joy asked, "What can be considered a complete solution?"

Nellie gritted her teeth. "Make them disappear completely. No one will be able to find them!"

Joy was not surprised by her answer. "How do you want them to disappear completely?"

Nellie pinched her nails to make herself feel a slight pain. "Give them a large sum of money to leave Kitmore City and stay far away. Then, use your usual method to make them completely forget your existence."

"If it doesn't work..." She closed her eyes. "Then make it a little more thorough."

Joy rocked the rocking chair slightly and chuckled. "Mom, it's been a long time since you came to Kitmore City. You haven't investigated the Donovan family either, so you know nothing about them. Three years ago, your plan might have worked, but not now."

Nellie asked, "Why not?"

Joy chuckled. "Let's not talk about anything else. The Donovan family's son-in-law is Matthew. Do you think we can avoid Matthew and make Athena and the Donovan family disappear?"

Nellie was stunned. After a while, she said, "Matthew will eventually break up with Athena."

Joy smiled again. "The Donovan family's eldest daughter-in-law is Luna. You must have heard of Luna, right? Could it be that you can make Luna disappear or make Luna and the world forget that she has a husband?"

Nellie gritted her teeth. "How would we know if we don't try?"

Joy shook her head again, chuckling lightly, "Do you know Zayn? His latest film just smashed the Osceiton box office, raking in $118 million, and he's the most famous hero in Osceiton. How do you plan to make him disappear? And how could you make the world forget him?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Nellie was stunned and could not speak for a long time.

The last time she came to Kitmore City, the Donovan family had only opened a famous restaurant. 'How did they become like this in just two to three years?'

Nellie asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?" The uneasiness and fear of being exposed made her anxious, and Joy's attitude, which seemed to be mocking her stupidity, embarrassed her.

She shouted angrily, "Don't think that you can control everything just because you're smart!

"There are many smart people in the Rose family. Once they suspect us, it won't be difficult for them to find evidence.

"Who can protect you then?"

Joy still said indifferently, "Didn't I say that I'll take care of this matter? You don't have to worry."

"I just want to ask you," she said as she looked at Nellie. "What are you going to do if the truth comes out?"

Nellie closed her eyes again. "I don't know. I dare not think about it!"

Nellie nodded. "Then don't think about it." She stood up. "I'm going to shower."

She walked into the bathroom with her phone and sent a message to Athena: [Keep an eye on your family. It's very dangerous to randomly acknowledge relatives.]

Athena: [Watch your family too. Don't let them bite like a dog. A dog that bites will be destroyed.]

Joy looked at the message and frowned. She threw her phone into the water.

Athena put down her phone after sending the message and continued to write.

Since she began serializing the second part of Lockwood's Detective Diary, she seemed to have a premonition in her subconscious. Her inspiration was overflowing, and her desire to write was like a flood breaking through a dam, making her eager to finish all the stories she wanted to write in one go.

Therefore, during this period of time, she had been writing quickly even in class.

No one stopped her. She was writing at a pace of over 10,000 words a day, astonishing and overwhelming her fans and readers.

They all left her messages: [Have you been kidnapped? If so, please leave a hint in your work. With so many smart authors, someone will be able to tell. Some readers are police officers and detectives.]

[In the past, the author often

updated a chapter every few days. Now, she updates a few chapters a

day. It's like... if she doesn't write now, she won't have time to write anymore. It's so scary. I'm going to cry...]

[Something's wrong! Something's really wrong! What happened to Lockwood? Who can save her?]

Even Tina was frightened. Every morning, she would sneakily appear downstairs Athena and secretly size Athena up. After confirming that Athena was still alive, she was relieved.

The editor-in-chief of Cherry Literature Network made a special trip to see Athena to ensure she hadn't been kidnapped, imprisoned, or stricken with a terminal illness.

After confirming her well-being, he reassured everyone by announcing on the official Twitter account that Lockwood was simply in excellent condition, bursting with inspiration, and due to her youth and health, she was able to write so quickly. He assured everyone that there was no need to worry.

This time, the readers and fans were relieved.

[I knew it. Lockwood is definitely a real detective. How could she be kidnapped?]

[You're making a big deal out of nothing. Many male genre authors update with ten to twenty thousand words a day. What's so strange about Lockwood updating with over ten thousand words?]

[That's just like an afterthought...]

Thus, Athena spent a week typing out over a hundred thousand words, completing the case titled Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

The truth revealed by this story caused a sensation on the Inte. Even the Graham family and Anabel were alarmed.
