She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 346

Paityn was desperate to rush over, hug Josie, kiss her face, and tell her, "I'm your mother."

Sitting beside her, Saanvi said, "Athena's surrounded. You can get out now."

Paityn, wearing a sunhat and mask, opened the car door and looked toward Athena, who was about 100 feet away.

Athena and Maria had just gotten out of their car when a group of people rushed towards them, pointing cameras, camcorders, and phones at them, shouting loudly, "You're Zayn's sisters, right? We heard Zayn's relationship with the family isn't good. Is that true?" "We heard Zayn had a big fight with the family over who controls the earnings from his work. Is there any truth to that?"

"I have a gift for Zayn. Could you deliver it to him?"

The commotion quickly drew attention from the crowd, who began to gather and watch.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Paityn got out of the car and hurried over to Josie. She squatted down, showing Josie printed photos. "Josie, these are pictures of you before you were three years old. Do you remember any of them?"

Not wanting to scare her, Paityn refrained from saying she was her mother and instead tried to spark Josie's memory.

Josie didn't recognize her and stepped back warily. "Don't come any closer to Josie. This is a school. If you try to take me away, I'll scream for help."
