She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 482

When Athena got home, Joy, after pondering for a long time, finally picked up her phone and dialed a number. Mom, let Wesley Donovan go. Stop keeping an eye on the Donovan family." Nellie's was filled with shock and panic. "What are you talking about? Who's Wesley Donovan? What does he have to do with me?"

"Mom, I know what you've been doing in secret," Joy replied calmly. "Let him go back. If he doesn't return soon, the consequences will be severe, and neither you nor I can bear them."

Nellie gritted her teeth. "What consequences could be so unbearable? We are from the Rose family, and you are still Charles's fiancée, one of the future members of the Council of Elders. Do you really need to fear anyone?"

Joy replied calmly, "Mom, this is Osceiton, not Aeloria. The Rose family's ways don't work here. Have you seen tonight's trending topics? They're all about Athena and the Donovan family. She was the CEO of the Vission Group and the future daughter-in-law of the Graham Group. Do you think the Rose family can stir up any waves in Osceiton?"

The Rose family was indeed powerful, with influence spanning almost the entire world. However, its influence in Osceiton was extremely limited.

After a long pause, Nellie finally spoke. "Did the Donovan family say something to you?"

"Go read the latest chapter of Lockwood's update," Joy replied. "You'll understand everything."

The sound of typing keys came from the other end of the phone.

Reading a few thousand words wouldn't take much time.

Joy waited quietly.

Soon, Nellie's resigned voice came through the phone. "I understand. I'll release Wesley now."

Joy hung up and immediately dialed another number, ordering, "Return to Aeloria immediately. Never step foot in Osceiton again and do not harm any members of the Donovan family."

The other person was stunned for a moment before replying, "So, you know about it."

Joy replied calmly, "I know everything I need to know."

The other person continued, "Then you must know that your true identity has already reached the Rose family. Fortunately, we intercepted the message before it spread. The Donovan family must disappear for your secret to stay safe." Joy interrupted, "No, even if the Donovan family disappears, my secret won't remain hidden."

If her and the Rose family's DNA were tested, her secret would also be exposed.

The other person fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Many in the Rose family support you, including Charles. We'll find a way to handle things here. The key issue is the Donovan family."

He added, "Joy, you need to understand that you represent more people behind you. We've come this far, and we can't let all our
