Chapter 469
Cherry Literature Network was under constant attacks from hackers recently and the site frequently crashed. The site’s tech team was at a loss. Even reporting it to the authorities wasn’t of much help.
Affected by this, updates to “The Mystery of the Missing Young Genius became erratic. Often, they would appear in garbled code or nowhere to be found as soon as they were updated.
But soon, they would return to normal, only to be hacked again. As this cycle continued, the employees of the site and the readers were on the verge of an emotional breakdown.
Furthermore, it was said that “The Mystery of the Missing Young Genius used the latest anti–theft technology provided by Lockwood. It could not be copied, screenshotted, downloaded, and so on. Once this novel was garbled or gone, no one would be able to see it.
To solve this problem, many readers simply took photos and videos to preserve the novel. This method made it easier for readers to save the book and read it, but it was not convenient for circulation.
Therefore, the novel was usually only circulated among readers and fans
Even so, Nellie still felt angry and uneasy. She showed the photo of the novel to Joy and said angrily, “Is deleting this novel through hacking your solution? Do you think that will work?
This novel has already reached the point whereby Lockwood investigated Lara’s time in kindergarten before the winter break. It also writes that the day before Lara’s vacation, she met her friend’s mom
“That mom liked Lara very much and said it would have been wonderful if Lara was also their child”
Joy did not speak. She just closed her eyes slightly and calmly drank her coffee.
The calmer Joy was, the angrier Nellie became. She sneered. The book says that Lara’s friend’s parents work overseas all year round and are preparing to bring their daughter overseas to live next semester.
“Lara’s friend can’t bear to part with Lara and hopes that Lara will go overseas with them. I have reason to suspect that Lockwood, or Athena, knows everything”
“She alluded to us in the book. The mom is… me. Nellie closed her eyes to hide her complicated and indescribable emotions. “She hints that Lara might go overseas with her friend’s mom later.
“If Athena writes that part, the Rose family and your opponents who have been watching you might notice that the characters are based on… us.
“Joy,” Nellie said, staring at Joy, “We must not let the novel reach that part
Joy finished her cup of coffee and said calmly. Then, what do you want to do?”
Nellie said. “Didn’t you find someone to do plastic surgery to look like your old self? You’ve kept that woman around for so long. It’s about time she comes in handy, right?”
Joy was indeed a genius. Long ago, she had secretly found an orphan whose age, height, and hair color were similar to hers. Even the orphan’s facial features were similar to Joy’s.
Joy had plastic surgery done on the orphan bit by bit so the orphan would resemble her. Joy even named the orphan “Zilvia Donovan” and erased her original memories, only telling the orphan she had found her.
In other words, she had found a replacement for Zilvia.
Joy smiled faintly, “If it were in the past, the fake Zilvia might be able to deceive the Donovan family. However, they have

Athena now.

“Moreover, they are no longer the same as before. If the fake Zilvia appears, no one would believe she is the real deal.”
If it were the Donovan family in the past, Joy was confident she could fool them during the DNA comparison. However, the current Donovan family could not be fooled easily.
“So, why didn’t you make a move earlier?” Nellie was furious. “You have so many backup plans, but none comes in handy now. You even caused things to turn out like this. Aren’t you very smart?”
Joy’s gaze was a little cold. “I’m different from you. You’re a rich wife. You only have to dress up, put on makeup, go shopping, and socialize. I’m very busy.
Besides, I can’t control
“A dozen ordinary people might not be able to handle what I did. I don’t have to explain those to you. Besi how things turn out like this alone.
Nellie nearly c
couldn’t find a retort. Then you have to think of something effective. We don’t have much time left.”
Joy poured herself another cup of coffee. “I’m thinking about it.”
Nellie’s gaze turned ruthless. “Why don’t we create an accident and let the fake Zilvia die? It’ll work if we don’t let the Donovan family or related personnel get the fake Zilvia’s body for DNA comparison.
“That fake Zilvia looks so much like Athena and she’s the right age. She thinks that she’s Zilvia too. If we used her, we might be able to hide the truth.
Moreover, when she dies and her body isn’t found, everyone will believe Zilvia is dead. They won’t pay attention to the case anymore. There will be no reason for anyone to suspect you.”
Joy did not say anything. She just picked up her coffee and took a sip. “Do you want me to kill?”
Nellie was silent for a few seconds. Eventually, she said, “We can fake her death. We can even leave some of your DNA or personal items where she died, such as your hair, bloodstained clothes, and so on.
That way, the Donovan family can test your DNA”
Joy was silent for a few seconds. “I’ll think about it, but don’t have too much hope.”
The method sounded feasible but if there were a slight mistake in the operation, it would be in vain. Furthermore, Athena knew this area very well. Joy wasn’t sure if she could successfully deceive Athena.
Joy was the only one who knew where the fake Zilvia was. If the fake Zilvia were exposed and caught by her opponents, she would lose more than she gained.
Nellie said anxiously, “We really don’t have time. You better decide as soon as possible. If it doesn’t work, I–I have people kidnap the Donovan family,
“It won’t be a real kidnapping, but to divert Lockwood’s attention and force her to stop writing that novel-
“If you really do that, you will anger Athena. Joy shook her head and interrupted, Trust me, it is not wise to anger her.”
I can’t wait any longer!” Nellie angrily slammed her phone on the table. “Lockwood has updated another chapter.
“In the latest chapter, Lara’s friend’s mother mentions that they have sold their house and are temporarily staying in a hotel on Franken Street. This is very close to the truth.”
