She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 342

After Athena hung up the phone, she went straight to sleep.

The next morning, as the entire family gathered for breakfast, she watched Josie finish eating. Once Josie went to feed Bello and Dolli, Athena casually dropped the bombshell. "Last night, I got a call from Josie's biological mother. She told me she wants to reclaim custody

of Josic."

The lively dining room instantly fell silent.

Everyone was in shock, momentarily forgetting their food.

Jaden was the first to react, quickly swallowing his bite and calmly asking, "Who are Josie's biological parents? Have we met them before?"

"Yes, we've met them," Athena replied as she leisurely cut her cake. "Josie's biological mother is Paityn, and her biological father

is Damon."

Those who had just recovered from the initial shock were again stunned into silence.

Jaden maintained his composure. "How did they figure out Josie is their daughter?"

Athena sipped some yogurt and explained what Paityn had told her the night before. Then, she added, "Paityn didn't go into details, but I can make a pretty good guess."

"You can guess something like that?" Arthur, looking shocked, leaned over, staring at her in disbelief. "How did you figure it out? I didn't notice anything."

The entire family looked at Athena with the same puzzled expressions.
