She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 354

Violet Stevens, with graying hair and a somewhat stern appearance, stepped out of the room holding her young great-grandson. "Are your eyes deceiving you? Wesley is so old now, and he's on TV?"

As she spoke, Violet glanced at the television and then took a few steps closer to scrutinize it. "Wow, he really does look like the young Wesley. That face of his is reminiscent of Wesley's third son. What's his name again..."

Her other great-grandson was lounging on a worn-out sofa, scrolling through his phone while watching TV. He couldn't help but scoff, "Who's Wesley? The guy on TV is Zayn Donovan, the hottest star right now. He's really famous." "Zayn Donovan?" Violet wanted to slap her thigh but was worried about dropping the child. Instead, she raised her voice. "Yes, Wesley's third son is named Zayn Donovan."

"Hamza, you know I have a daughter named Claire with Ronan Stevens. Her husband is Wesley, and Zayn is one of their children, which makes him one of your uncles. Are you sure this big star is really named Zayn?" "Of course." Hamza Stevens didn't take their conversation seriously. "I watched a movie he starred in during Christmas. His fight scenes were spectacular. The film made a billion dollars at the box office."

"A billion dollars?" Ronan's and Violet's eyes lit up, their faces flushed, and they breathed more heavily. "So, how much do these big stars get to keep?"

Hamza replied, "Stars earn a lot. A big star like Zayn should be making about 10 million dollars."

"About 10 million dollars?" Ronan dropped the bottle and peanuts he was holding, his voice trembling. "How much is that? Wouldn't it take a lifetime to spend it all?"

Violet was trying to count on her fingers, struggling to grasp the numbers.

Although Hamza was just starting middle school, he had some street smarts. "You just lack experience. Ten million dollars is nothing for these big stars.

"Just one movie can earn them about 10 million dollars, and they can easily make over 2 million dollars from ads or events. Earning about 100 million dollars a year isn't hard at all."

"About 100 million dollars?" Ronan and Violet were dumbfounded, saliva pooling in their mouths. "How long would it take to spend that?"

Seeing their reactions, Hamza chuckled, "If Zayn really is your grandson, our family would be set. If he just gives us a little help or helps us find a job, we could have houses and cars and leave this run-down town for a big city." Ronan clutched his chest, heart racing, and said with difficulty, "Violet, do you still have Wesley and Claire's phone numbers? If you do, call them and ask if Zayn has really become a big star

Violet scoffed, "How would we have their numbers? After they lost their child, we changed our phone number and lost theirs too. We haven't been able to reach them for ages."

"You're so useless." Ronan slapped his thigh in frustration, urgency in his voice. "Hamza, call your grandfather, just say Zayn has become a big star. We need to find him and Wesley." Hamza was somewhat skeptical. "Is Zayn really our relative?"

"Of course!" Ronan patted him on the back, his face glowing with excitement. "Hamza, as long as we find the Donovan family, we're set for life. We won't have to worry about money anymore." Hearing this, Hamza thought it might be worth a shot.

He immediately called his grandfather, Quentin Stevens, to tell him about Zayn.

after hearing the news, "Oh my God, we haven't been in touch for over ten years, and Zayn has become a big star? This is serious. Your dad and I will go back tonight and discuss this with your great-grandparents." Even though it was already past eight in the evening, Quentin and his son booked a
