She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 451

The power of the netizens was limitless.

The netizens quickly found out: [My relative works in the police department. Back then, he also participated in Zilvia's disappearance case. He confirmed that Zilvia is a Donovan.]

[Zilvia should be 22 years old now, just like Athena. In other words, Zilvia is Athena's sister...I'm not sure if she's an older or younger sister...]

This news once again caused a sensation on the internet. It exploded on all major websites and online platforms.

[As expected, the cases in the series, 'Lockwood's Detective Diary,' have prototypes. Lockwood's stories must be cases that he has heard of, seen, or even experienced. Does this mean that Lockwood is investigating or has already found out the cause and effect of Zilvia's disappearance?]

Journalists and the media were constantly asking the Donovan family questions.

It went from asking questions online to asking questions in real life, from asking questions about Zayn and Luna to asking questions about Donovan's Restaurant and Donovan's Farmland. The hype around the Donovans was huge.

Athena then used Lockwood's account to make a statement: [Many years ago, there was indeed a child missing in our family. The story "The Mystery of the Missing Young Genius" is based on this case. Sadly, this case has not been cracked in reality, so I made up the story of how the case was solved.]

[Please don't treat the part I made up as reality.]

Readers and reporters pressed: [Have you ever tried finding your sister? What insights do you have into Zilvia's disappearance? Do you think you can find her?]

Athena had only one answer to these questions: [Our family has never given up searching for Zilvia, but we haven't found her yet.]

[I'm just a novelist. I can't decide to search and find our missing sibling.]

After that, Athena closed the comments and did not explain herself to anyone else.

However, she received a call from Joy.

Joy's voice was cold. "Why are you going public with Zilvia's case? What are you trying to achieve?"

Athena sneered, "What does my writing about Zilvia's case have to do with you? You were born and raised in Aeloria with the Rose family. Who do you think you are to interfere with my novel?"

Joy choked and couldn't say anything. She realized that she had no right to stop anyone from publicizing Zilvia's case.

Joy choked for a few seconds and could only say, "The Donovan family had lost a child. If you continue writing about it, I'm afraid they'll suffer more than just the loss of their child."

With that, she hung up.

Athena glared at the phone screen with a gloomy expression.

Of course, she knew that exposing Zilvia's case would not benefit the Donovan family. However, Claire had already met Joy. Athena did not believe that her mother could hold back from seeing Joy and investigating her background.

Instead of letting her mother meet Joy in private and causing any trouble with her investigation, Athena preferred to publicize this case and allow her mother to follow her train of thought so that she would not have to investigate on her own.

Besides, it had been so many years. The Donovan family was no longer the same. It was time for them to deal with this case.

In any case, this case was sensational. It would blow up sooner or later, so Athena might as well expose it.

If Athena was the one to make it go viral, at least she was prepared.

After some thought, Athena put down her phone and sat in front of her computer to update the Mystery of the Missing Young Genius.

Unlike her previous rapid updates, she was now uploading a chapter every day and writing slowly.

For the past few days, she had been writing about Lockwood accepting the Stevens family's commission to start investigating the case from ten years ago.Lockwood first investigated the police case in detail, then met with the Stevens family individually to understand their movements before and after Lara's disappearance.

The readers were reading through the updates fast but were not that much in a hurry.

[The author is so weird. Previously, Lockwood wrote more than 2000 words every day. The story would end before the readers could digest the story. Now, he's writing two to three thousand words a day. It's got me so anxious.]

[The book about solving a crime should be written slowly. All kinds of clues need to be written down, and interpersonal relationships need explaining. A lot must be thought through. Only then will it be interesting for the readers to analyze and solve the case.]

[Lockwood won't write randomly. Perhaps an inconspicuous sentence or an inadvertent character is the foundation or even the key to the mystery. Everyone read carefully and see who finds the suspect first...]
