She Outshines Them All

Chapter 371



When Jerry realized that his phone and Twitter account were normal, he immediately deleted the message posted by the hacker and bowed to the camera. "I'm very sorry. The hacker attacked my phone and Twitter account. I didn't post those photos myself. I offer my deepest apologies to the individuals involved..."

However, it was too late. These images had already spread across the Inte. The related trending topics surged consecutively. Even the individual involved was unable to respond promptly, not to mention blocking and deleting the news.

Jerry was a mix of anxious and furious. Despite this, Gavin persistently demanded payment. Overwhelmed by rage, Jerry commanded his assistant, "Teach him a lesson and throw him out."

Gavin was outnumbered and couldn't fend off the assailants. He was beaten mercilessly until his face was grotesquely swollen, then unceremoniously ejected.

As a black van cruised by him, Gavin had no time to react. The van's door swung open, and several pairs of hands yanked him inside. The door slammed shut, and the van sped off into the night.

More than an hour later. Jerry and his two assistants came out of the unlisted studio. The moment they stepped into the parking lot, several individuals clamped their hands over Jerry and his assistants' mouths and dragged them into a waiting vehicle.

After they were sent to a place, they saw Joy in the dark and sealed room. They did not know that the girl was Joy.

Joy's entire body was wrapped in a black robe, revealing only her deep and cold eyes.

There was no light in the room, only a large candle burning, and a soothing scented candle.

Joy held a watch made of pure gold in her hand. Seated before Gavin, she gently swayed the watch back and forth. She inquired, "Who instructed you to reveal the news during the live broadcast?"

Gavin stared at the golden watch, his line of sight tracking its pendulous motion from side to side. In a trance, he replied, "A, a person named Andrew."

Joy asked, "Why does he ask you to expose the news in Jerry's live-stream?"

Gavin replied, "Because, because he hates the Donovan family. He wants to seek justice for me."

Joy asked, "Why does he hate the Donovan family? What justice do you want?"

Gavin's expression became more and more dazed. He fell into a sleepwalking state and lost his own thoughts. Obediently, he followed the voice whispering in his ear. "Because he's a close friend of the Donovan brothers. The Donovans belittled him after he amassed his wealth. He harbors resentment towards the Donovan family..."

Gavin recounted to Joy everything Andrew had confided in him, including his discontent and avarice towards the Donovan family.

After posing a few more queries, Joy ascertained that Gavin, Andrew, Jerry, and the rest were not involved in Zilvia's disappearance. Zilvia was only mentioned in the context of their schemes against the Donovan family. It was then that Joy sighed in relief.

She looked at Gavin who had entered a deep hypnosis state and said slowly, "Zilvia is inauspicious. I must not mention her matter. Otherwise, I will be cursed and my child will go missing."

She repeated it a few times to deepen Gavin's impression of this sentence and guided him. "Please repeat it with me."

"Zilvia is inauspicious. I must not mention her matter. Otherwise, I will be cursed..."

Gavin said as if he were talking in his sleep, "Zilvia is inauspicious..." He repeated it three times.

Joy then said, "After you left Jerry's studio tonight, you were so tired that you fell asleep by the roadside. You don't remember anything."

After resting for half an hour, she went to see Jerry and put him and his two assistants under hypnosis. She induced a trance in them, imparting the suggestion, "The Donovan family is very dangerous. Never inquire about their history."

After the hypnosis ended, she got someone to send these people away and gave a new order to her assistant. "Bring the remaining members of the Stevens family over."

After saying that, she went to rest tiredly.

The next morning, as soon as Joy woke up, her assistant told her, "Ronan is hospitalized. There are only several kids in the Stevens family. Do you want me to bring them over?"

Joy thought for a moment. "Forget about Ronan, his wife, and the children who are too young either."

She ordered that on account of the elderly's terrible memories and their inability to endure torture, and that the children were unfamiliar with Zilvia and would show no interest in her.

After receiving her order, Joy's assistant kidnapped Quentin and his wife, Gavin and his wife, Hamza, Joel and his wife and brought them to Joy respectively.

Joy hypnotized them one after another, and the content of the hypnosis was the same as what she said to Gavin.

Just like that, those people forgot

about being kidnapped. They only remembered one thing subconsciously. "Zilvia isFrom NôvelDrama.Org.

inauspicious. We must not mention her matter, or something very terrifying will happen."

Hence, they never mentioned anything about Zilvia again.

Joy sent someone to test them and ask them about Zilvia. They all frowned and said the same sentence, "How many years has it been? I don't remember. Don't ask me about it."

So Joy was relieved.

However, she was unaware that Athena was privy to the whereabouts of Gavin and Jerry. The Stevens family was also under Athena's watchful eye. Athena's subordinates adhered to her directives and refrained from alerting anyone. Yet, they remained ignorant of who had abducted the Stevens family and what transpired post-kidnapping.

Athena surmised that Joy was the

puppeteer behind the scenes.

"Zilvia's case is truly Joy's Achilles'

heel. Anyone who brings it up will meet their demise." She cradled her coffee and sipped it deliberately, her gaze unusually profound.

"Fortunately, Zilvia is also the

Donovan family's Achilles' heel. The Donovans won't dare to mention

Zilvia's affair."

Athena was the one who induced Gavin to look for Andrew. And she secretly recorded a video about Gavin and Andrew's meeting.

Therefore, she was very clear about the deal between Gavin and Jerry.

When Gavin was live-streaming with Jerry, she had been keeping an eye on them just in case anything happened.

When Gavin mentioned the fire at the hospital 20 years ago, she did not stop it because the Kennedy family knew very well about the fire. She could not block it. Besides the fire did not attract much attention. Theizens just discussed it for a while and they left it behind.

However, the situation with Zilvia's matter was different.

It was not only a sore spot for the Donovan family, but it was also a famous unsolved case. She could not let Jerry use it to create hype. Therefore, as soon as Gavin mentioned Zilvia, she immediately made trouble for Jerry's live-stream and deleted all the news about Zilvia on the Inte.

What she did not expect was that Jerry's Twitter account was hacked and that someone released such shocking gossip. It completely made theizens forget Gavin's revelation.

When Athena thought about how Joy had returned to Kitmore City that night, she guessed that the person who hacked the account was Joy. "What a talent," Athena murmured. "Fortunately, the Donovan family got me." She put down her cup. "Now, it's time to deal with Andrew."
