Joyce didn't answer. She continued browsing the news and enlarged the photos.
She flipped through one photo after another, carefully examining every detail.
"General, should we call Mr. Warner? I don't think there was any estrangement between you before. In a situation like this, you should proactively clarify things. I believe Mr. Warner will give you a reasonable explanation," Darrin said from the side.
"Wait. Look here."
Joyce suddenly pointed to one of the photos and enlarged it. "Although it's obstructed, take a look. Isn't he holding the popular Sharita doll? I've seen outdoor ads for these realistic dolls. Besides being able to change clothes and style their hair, they can also apply eyelashes, do makeup, and paint nails. It's the hottest toy among girls right now."
Darrin sighed and rubbed his forehead. "General, where is your focus? We don't have the mental capacity to study toys right now. Your phone will start ringing off the hook soon. How do you plan to explain all of this?"
"Hush!" Joyce put a finger to her lips, signaling Darrin to be quiet.
Her gaze remained fixed on a corner of the doll, confirming it repeatedly.
Indeed, she hadn't seen it wrong.
Luther bought the Sharita doll? What is he up to?
Continuing to browse, Joyce narrowed her eyes and her expression turned serious.
"Darrin, I might have an idea of what's going on," she murmured.
Darrin froze and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Joyce looked up and gazed at Darrin for a moment. "I'll tell you when I'm sure."
Darrin remained silent.
Wasn't this driving him crazy with suspense?
"Look at this photo. I think there's a hotel in the background. It's deliberately blurred, and the news didn't mention which hotel they entered. But the person who took the photo must have been following them to capture the image, so they definitely know which hotel it is. They clearly know but deliberately didn't disclose it in the report. What do you think is the intention of the informant?" Joyce pointed to a specific detail in the photo and raised an eyebrow, asking Darrin.
Darrin pondered for a moment. "The informant doesn't want the public to know too many details, but they want the public to know about this matter?"
"That's right. They want both exposure and protection. Contradictory, isn't it? Who would do such a thing?" Joyce continued her questioning.
Following Joyce's line of thought, Darrin suddenly realized, "Are you saying that the woman intentionally leaked the information? The so-called Mr. Warner's first love, Athena, deliberately leaked it, wanting to create a social sensation while not exposing too much of her own privacy."
"Exactly!" Joyce snapped her fingers. "Close enough, it should be like that."
She contemplated for a moment.
"You go and arrange things outside. If there are any reporters, block them all. Let the news continue circulating online, but it shouldn't affect our normal lives, especially Anderson's kindergarten. Go there yourself today and inform all the teachers. No private discussions," Joyce instructed.
"Alright. But..." Darrin was also worried about Joyce. "General, if you need me, call me anytime, and I'll come back as soon as possible."
"I'm fine. Have Mr. Arnold get more people and make sure all the reporters near the Warner residence are kept away. I'll handle the rest myself."
