She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 348

"I understand Lorelai's and Alberta's concerns," Saanvi said, elegantly crossing her legs while holding her coffee. "Neither Westin nor I truly accept Josie. We just want to bring her back to the Pittman family, where we can keep her under our control to prevent her from competing with Lorelai in the future"

Konnor scoffed, "So what if Josie beats Lorelai once? With our family's abilities, we don't have to worry about Lorelai not becoming a superstar. Given the conditions of the Donovan family, I don't believe they can nurture Josie to be better than Lorelai." Saanvi replied, "The Donovan family isn't the real threat. We need to be wary of Damon.

"Damon wants to make Josie a world-class superstar, and we can't let him take custody of her."

At this point, Saanvi took a sip of her coffee, revealing a cryptic smile. "If Josie is one of ours, we can decide if she can sing, what she sings, and how she sings. Even Damon won't be able to reach us."

Konnor nodded in agreement. "Right. It's better to have Josie in our hands than let her fall into Damon's."

Saanvi continued, "Once we gain custody of Josie, we can have her play a supporting role for Lorelai, just like a prince's companion in ancient times.

"She can help Lorelai eliminate her rivals, paving the way for Lorelai to reach the top all on her own.

"We can also use Josie to negotiate with Damon, asking him to support Lorelai."

Konnor nodded repeatedly, giving her a thumbs-up. "Brilliant. Truly brilliant."

Saanvi's expression brightened. "Tomorrow morning, we'll take Paityn to court to officially fight for Josie's custody."

Paityn felt a chill in her heart, followed by an overwhelming anger.

She had long suspected that the Pittman family had ulterior motives, but she never imagined they could be this malicious, Paityn thought, "What have I done to deserve such scum in her life?" In the living room, Saanvi's phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone, "I have a meeting with the media from Kitmore City. Let's have the press together."

The two turned off the lights and exited the guest room.

Paityn stumbled out of her bedroom and collapsed onto the sofa, feeling enveloped by despair.

She thought, 'What could I do to protect Alina?"
