She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 328

As the lively chatter in the living room began to fade, a peaceful hush settled over the room.

The Donovan family, known for their skills and worldly experience, had an innate sense of style and sophistication.

When they heard that beautiful song, sung by one of their own, they were captivated, their faces lighting up with awe and delight.

Once the last note faded, the guests seemed to snap out of a delightful daze.

Athena turned to Josie, her surprise evident. "Wow, you sound even better than I remembered!"

During Advent Sunday, Josie had wowed the crowd at the Donovan family's farm stay, catching the eye of Katie Limbert, the co-director of the Kitmore City Children's Art Troupe.

Katie had been genuinely enthusiastic, spending half an hour talking about her troupe and showing off videos of their performances.

Josie watched the clips in awe. "If I join the troupe, can I sing and dance like them?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with hope. "Definitely!" Katie replied with a warm smile. "Our instructors are amazing and care about the kids. With your talent, as long as you get the right training, you'll be singing and dancing better than anyone in no time!"

Josie's face lit up with excitement. "Then I want to join the art troupe! I want to learn to sing and dance!"

Ever since she was little, she had admired the kids who danced and played sports effortlessly, especially because of her limp.

The Kitmore City Children's Art Troupe was highly respected across the country, having nurtured many stars and artists, making it a credible and authoritative institution for the arts.

Recognizing Josie's passion, the Donovan family took her to tour the troupe after the holiday break. After seeing everything firsthand, they helped Josie enroll.

From that moment on, Josie jumped at the chance to rush to the troupe whenever she had free time, diving headfirst into singing and dancing lessons, quickly finding her place. However, Athena had been traveling for work since the start of the year and hadn't realized just how much Josie had

grown.

Holding her Hello Kitty toy bashfully in front of her face, Josie said, "Katie said I could try out for Star Quest, so I'm going to do it!"

Athena gently ruffled her hair. "Star Quest is a huge deal! There will be so many people watching you perform. Aren't you nervous about singing in front of all those people?" "I'm super nervous!" Josie admitted, shaking her Hello Kitty toy adorably. "But Katie said I can take Dolli on stage with me. With Dolli by my side, I won't be scared!" "That's a clever idea," Athena said, lightly tapping Josie's cheek, charmed by her cuteness. "Dolli is great, but why not bring Hello Kitty instead? Isn't she your favorite?" Hello Kitty had always been a source of comfort for Josie since she could remember.

Josie replied, "Katie said I can bring Hello Kitty when I make it to the national finals."

Everyone exchanged amused glances.

Star Quest was one of the three most popular variety shows in the country, open to everyone without any talent restrictions,
