She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 425 Netizens were asking what movie Zayn was filming, and seven expressed that once the movie was released, no matter the quality, they'd bring along their family to watch it in the cinema a few times.

Other comments include: [Although I'm not a big fan of patriotic movies, I'm still going to buy a few tickets online to support Zayn. I won't be watching the movie, though.] [Rumors had it that the entertainment industry has a lot of dirty secrets: The women are conniving and the men are all hypocrites. Thankfully, Zayn madebelieve that there are truly good people and heroes in the entertainment industry!] [I'm proud to declare that our entertainment industry is saved. Zayn is the future and hope of this industry.] On major film and television ticketing platforms, the number of people who wanted to watch The Last Blood, which was still in production, exceeded one million overnight, and the movie topped the box office. A lot of investors were asking if they could still invest in the movie.

Zayn and the others weren't aware of the various discussions as they were exhausted. They dozed off as soon as she got into the car and fell asleep as soon as they boarded the plane.

Even when they were in transit, they looked as if they were sleepwalking. It was only when the car arrived in front of their villa that they becwide awake. They saw the entrance packed with people.

With so many people blocking the way in, it was hardly possible for them to enter the villa. Even if they managed to enter the gate, they could barely live a peaceful life in such a situation.

Athena said, "Let's go to a hotel first. We can chwhen there are fewer people at night or in about two days." The crowd at the villa's entrance was here to see Zayn. It was imaginable that in the following days, Zayn would beca national figure or even receive global attention. Almost all the people living around the area or the scity were eager to see Zayn personally. Everyone agreed with Athena's suggestion. However, Tina, who had been traveling with them, thought it'd be awkward to join the Donovans and got out of the car first. "Don't worry about it. I'll keep an eye on the villa and inform you after the fans and onlookers have left," Tina said before closing the door.

Athena and the others bade her farewell and drove away. Actually, Athena also had a few private properties in Kitmore City, but they couldn't accommodate so many people. It was more convenient to stay at a hotel.

When they got to the hotel, they first ordered a feast through room service. After eating their fill, they slept. In the evening, everyone woke up, one after another, and finally felt rejuvenated. That was when they heard a knock on the room door.

Jaden went to open the door and saw Arthur, Alaric, and Maria standing outside. The three of them were carrying a few lunchboxes and burst into tears when they saw Jaden. "Where's Zayn? Is Zayn alright?" Jaden stood to the side. "He's inside, and seemed to be very comfortable." "Zayn!" Maria was the first to rush in. She placed the lunchboxes on the ground, hugged him tightly, and cried her heart out. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" Zayn was confused. "Why are you crying? You didn't do anything to letdown." "I'm sorry." Maria kept apologizing as she sobbed. "I didn't know about everything that had just happened to you.

I couldn't be of help, and I didn't even find tto visit you. I'm useless. I'm so sorry..." It wasn't until this morning that she saw that everyone was talking about the anti-terrorism operation on television, online, and in her chat groups. Netizens and group members were all talking about Zayn.

That was how she got to know about Zayn's terrifying experience the night before. At that moment, she put all the blon herself for not knowing anything.

All along, Maria had been on the receiving end of all joyful moments and help from her family, but she hadn't been able to support her family when they were in trouble.

She wanted to call Zayn immediately when she got to know about it, but she felt that Zayn must be very tired or busy. It wasn't a good tto disturb him. So, she called Athena again and knew that they were on their way home.

Of course, she wanted to see Zayn immediately, but Athena told her that Zayn needed to rest and asked her to bring stakeaway from a restaurant over in the evening.

Hence, Maria ran to the restaurant and cried while she prepared Zayn's favorite dishes with the chefs.

Zayn patted her head lightly. "You didn't do anything wrong. I didn't want you to go over either. That's why I didn't tell you. You living happily and well is the greatest support you can give me, so don't cry." Maria nodded vigorously and said while crying, "I-I'll work hard in the future and beca useful person who can help my family." She decided that from the next day onwards, she would stop practicing yoga. Instead, she would train in fighting, boxing, and shooting. She would beca person who could protect her family when trouble hit in the future. Alaric and Arthur were also teary-eyed. They wanted to hug Zayn and cry, but when they saw that Maria jumped in and cried like that, they could only dispel this urge, stand aside, and wipe their tears.

The rest watched them cry. After a few minutes, Jaden clapped his hands. "Alright, sit down, let's eat." Maria, Arthur, and Alaric didn't eat much. They just watched Zayn and the others eat. Then, they asked about what happened the night before and about their injuries.

Jaden simply answered the question and said, "Our family will probably becthe target of the media and fans for quite stime. In order to divert their attention, Luna and plan to register our marriage tomorrow morning and announce it officially." Athena and the others knew what was going on and weren't surprised. However, Maria and the other two siblings had their mouths agape.

Alaric asked, "Jaden, have you told Luna's family about this?" Jaden said, "I just called and asked. Luna's dad has no objections." Luna hugged his arm and leaned on his shoulder like a little girl. She said sweetly, "My parents, my brother, and I like Jaden very much. They all think that I'm lucky to have found Jaden." When Luna and Jaden announced their relationship, her parents rushed to Kitmore City on the very sday. As they didn't inform Jaden beforehand, Jaden was still in Oxhorn Village. So, Luna drove her parents there.

Her parents saw that Jaden was very charming, elegant, and calm. They couldn't find any flaws in him at their first meeting.

Then, they saw Donovan's Farmland and absolutely loved it. Luna's parents kept praising that the farmland was like a paradise.

Knowing that the new flower bed was specially made for Luna by Jaden, they got somewhat jealous of their daughter.

Luna's mother started whinging to Luna's dad. "Ive been married to you for so many years and have given you such an outstanding daughter, you, such but never have I been gifted such a beautiful flower bed. I knew your love forwould fritter away." Her father refuted, "Didn't I give you a room full of lipsticks? If that's not love, what is it?" "Something that can be bought with money can never be as sincere as something made personally." The two of them argued until they tasted Jaden's cooking. They were thoroughly impressed by the food he prepared.

Both of them shared a consensus that a man who was willing to spend so much tand nd effort learning to cook and trying to make his family eat and drink well was definitely a good family man. They felt that their daughter had found the right person, and that she was a lucky one.

After learning that the ancestors of the Donovan family fought for the country, Luna's parents becmore respectful of him and went to the family cemetery to offer theim respect to his ancestors. Initially, they were only planning to see what Oxhorn Village was like. In the end, they stayed in Oxhorn Village for three days before leaving reluctantly. They were extremely satisfied with their new son-in-law. After Luna's parents got home, they received a call from Jaden. They spoke to Luna over the phone, telling her that it wasn't easy to find a good man like Jaden. They also told her not to neglect him because of her work or for the sake of her image. They then reminded her to not deliberately give Jaden a hard tas she should make him happy since he made her happy.

Just like that, Luna and Jaden got Pret the green light for their marriage from Luna's parents. Everyone congratulated them. The arrival this marriage dimmed the sadness from before, and the atmosphere at hfinally beca little more relaxed.

That night, Arthur, Alaric, and Maria also stayed in the hotel. Everyone sang, played cards, watched Lockwood's Detective Diary together, and it felt like home.
