Chapter 221

Twenty

minutes later, Joy arrived at Donovan's Restaurant.

She was wearing an orange bowler hat and a white mask. She had wrapped herself up so tightly that no one could recognize

her

Of course, it was normal to dress like this in the dead of winter.

She pushed open the door of the private room on the second floor and saw Nellie sitting by the window, eating pancakes while looking downstairs.

It wasn't the best choice to open the window on such a cold night, so Nellie opened it slightly.

Joy greeted her with a smile. "Mom, I'm here.

Nellie came back to her senses and waved at Joy with a smile. "Come, sit opposite me."

Joy sat down opposite Nellie and scooped some soup into her bowl in a gracious manner, occasionally coughing lightly.

Nellie turned back to what she was looking at. "Look at that girl. I asked the waiters here and they said that the girl is from the Donovan family. She's eighteen years old this year, the same age as you

Joy took off the mask on her face, picked up a spoon, and took two sips of chicken soup before casually glancing downstairs. "So it's her, I know her. She's a freshman and majors in aerospace at Kitmore University."

Nellie turned her head slightly and stared at her intently. "Has anyone ever said that you two look very much alike?"

"Occasionally Joy shrugged it off. I've observed her closely. Our features do look somewhat alike, but my chin is sharper and I have these narrow under-eye bags.

"If you look more closely, you'll notice more different elements. I'd say we're only about 70% alike." Joy appeared not too bothered about it.

Nellie then looked at Joy's facial features in more detail.

A moment later, Nellie took out her phone and aimed the camera at Athena who was downstairs. She zoomed in and carefully examined Athena's facial features. She nodded. "You two look quite alike, but if you look closer, the differences become more apparent." "Cough, cough, cough" Joy coughed again. "Just now, you said that there was a beautiful girl who's like my spitting image. I was also shocked. Now that I have seen the real thing, it's not that similar, really."

After a moment of silence, Nellie smiled. "The food here is not bad, right?"

Joy nodded, "It's really good. No wonder their business is so good
