She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196
When they couldn’t contact their employee for four days, Juliet knew something was wrong and quickly told Anabel.
Anabel was not worried at all. I have a friend in Swereo. I’ll call her now and ask for her help.”
Soon, Anabel’s friend in Swereo asked her for the missing person’s photo, phone number, itinerary, destination, passport information, and so on. “He’s been missing for so many days, the friend said, “It’s probably serious. I’ll get a private detective to check it out first,
However, the private investigator went missing too.
When Anabel received the news, her expression became grave. “Call the police. Tell them to locate the two people.”
However, the police found nothing.
The friend in Swereo told Anabel. The police found out that Wilson Nash checked into a hotel after getting off the plane. The next morning, he went to the girls’ boarding school in the suburbs to ask for Joy’s information.
The girls high school is closed to the public. Outsiders, as well as men, can’t enter. The students’ information can’t be given anyone either. Wilson thought of many ways but couldn’t enter the school. He also couldn’t get any news about Joy, so he could only return to the hotel.
“At eight o’clock that evening, Wilson left the hotel and took a taxi downtown. He walked into a street not monitored by surveillance cameras and never came out. The private investigator also discovered where Wilson went missing. He went over alone to investigate and never turned up again. The difference is that the private investigator went during the day.”
At this point, Anabel’s friend’s tone was slightly nervous. The security here is quite good. There are very few cases of locals or foreigners disappearing mysteriously. Moreover, the police can’t find anything. I think someone is cleaning up the loose. ends and stopping anyone from investigating Joy. I don’t dare to look into this anymore. I’m afraid I’ll mysteriously disappear too.”
Anabel did not make things difficult for her friend. This matter ends here. I owe you one.”
After ending the call, she crossed her arms and paced the room with a serious expression, appearing deep in thought.. Juliet stood at the side and waited silently for Anabel to make a decision.
A few minutes later, Anabel instructed, “Don’t investigate Joy directly. Find a few women with high EQ in Aeloria and get them to contact Joy’s mother, Nellie Lambert. Find out everything they can about Nellie and her husband.”
The ’emergency contact” on Joy’s profile was her mother, Nellie, who was currently living in Aeloria. If they found out everything about Nellie and her husband, they could naturally figure out Joy’s background.
Juliet understood. “I’ll get on it immediately.
Juliet contacted two socialites who were doing fairly well in Aeloria and asked for their help, but she did not mention the dangers of investigating Joy, let alone the disappearance of Wilson and the private investigator.
The two socialites agreed without much thought. They contacted Nellie and successfully asked her out for a meal with the excuse that they were from the same country.
During the meal, they talked about their children and the education systein in Osceiton, but not much.
Nelle only said her parents had passed away and that her husband was a businessman who often flew around and rarely stayed at home. Her daughter was studying in Osceiton and she rarely saw her, but her daughter was very obedient and sensible and never let her worry.

The two socialites were not in a hurry. They planned to continue asking Nellie out to learn more about Joy.
However, something unfortunate happened. A few days later, one of the socialites was arrested for reselling and taking illegal drugs. The second socialite was also arrested for speeding, child abuse, and tax evasion.
What awaited them was probably a long investigation, lawsuits, and even imprisonment. Of course, they could no longer be able to help Anabel.
Juliet knew that Joy’s background was far from simple. She did not dare to decide on her own and reported this matter to Anabel.
Anabel was also shocked. After a long silence, she said, “Joy’s information looks simple, but I didn’t expect her background to be so… terrifying
After all. Joy had to be incredibly powerful to make someone go missing or go to jail so easily.
Juliet asked. “Do you still want to continue the investigation?”
Anabel shook her head. “Let’s stop for now. Let me think about it? After all, the Powell family had a lot of power in the country, but there was a limit to what they could do abroad.
Annabel took out a pack of cigarettes and closed her eyes slightly. She smoked while she pondered things
Over
The heirs of wealthy and influential families had to marry someone of equal social status. If Joy were just an ordinary person. Anabel would not take her seriously. But from the looks of it, Joy’s background seemed to be very powerful. She might be qualified to marry Matthew. Thus, Joy was her opponent. Anabel had to find out what she could about Joy, especially her weakness.
However, she did not know how to do it. Investigating openly was impossible. She also couldn’t send too many people to investigate as it could easily alert Joy. They could only find someone suitable to investigate in private. But Anabel didn’t know who to go to.
For a moment, Anabel couldn’t think of anyone suitable, She decided to forget about it for now. She picked up the remote control and turned on the television.
The television was broadcasting the news. The publisher said they’ve signed a publishing agreement with Lockwood Holmes. The work has been revised and will be available for sale soon.
“Cherry Literature Network stated that the author is considering accepting a film and television collaboration Currently, the website is representing the film and television adaptation of The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes…
When Anabel heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She thought, Isn’t Lockwood the perfect candidate for the investigation?
She was also a fan of “The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes”. She agreed with the analysis of netizens that this work was adapted from real cases and that the author was likely involved in solving them. The protagonist in the book might even be based on him.
Based on Anabel’s understanding of the author, the author probably did not lack money or care about it. However, the author was definitely interested in strange and mysterious cases. Anabel thought she could impress the author with that
Hence, she picked up her phone and made a call to get someone to contact the editor-in-chief of Cherry Literature Network
That night, Athena received a respectful iMessage from the editor-in-chief. [There’s a case.]
The editor-in-chief went on to brielly describe the disappearance of Wilson and the private detective but did not mention names, places, schools, and so on. Then, he asked. Are you interested in investigating this case? You can name your
