After the car disappeared from her sight, Athena went upstairs,

She took the small box out from under the bed and opened it. There was nothing in it.

She sighed softly, put the small box back, and called the "good Samaritan". "The photos of Zilvia have all been destroyed. You can cancel this number. Don't provoke the Donovan family anymore." As soon as Athena finished speaking, the other party hung up.

An hour later, she returned to the villa. When she called the other party's number again, she received a reply: "Sorry, the number you've dialed is not in service,

So she told her mother. "I contacted the person when I found the photos, but the number has become unavailable."

Claire had been walking back and forth in the living room for two hours. She had even carefully mopped the floor upstairs and downstairs, but no matter what she did, nothing could calm her anxiety. After she got an update from Athena, she was completely dumbfounded "H-How could this be...

She picked up her phone and dialed the number again with her trembling fingers. As expected, the response she got was "Sorry, the number you've dialed is not in service."

Unwilling to give up, she used someone else's phone to call that number again and again. The results were all the same.

"How could this be. She dropped onto the sofa in a daze, and tears rolled down her cheeks

"I haven't heard from Zilvia in so many years. I thought there was finally a glimmer of hope... Claire wept.

The rest of the family went to comfort her.

Only Athena stood quietly at the side.

Ten minutes later, the door was pushed open and Alaric rushed in like a bull.

While he was taking off his shoes, he yawped, "Wow, it's so cold outside! If I had known carlier, I would've put on more layers!

"Mom, what's for lunch? I'm so hungry."

He didn't notice the gloomy atmosphere in the living room. He hugged his shoulders and ran into the kitchen. As he looked for food, he rattled, "Mom, it's Christmas Eve in two days. Aren't we going to visit Grandpa and Grandma and ask them where they want to spend their Chr Christmas?"

Because of Zilvia, the two old folks never spent Christmas in the city.

If it was going to be the same this time, the Donovan family would have to prepare in advance.

Alaric's words woke Claire, who had been wiping her tears.
