She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 350

This statement hit Westin's sore spot once again.

Gone was his usual elegance and composure. Westin looked at Paityn with a pale look, trembling as he said, "Paityn, we used to love each other so much. I used all my connections and resources to support you, helping you rise to fame again. Is this how you want to treat Paityn replied calmly, "Is it so difficult for the Pittman family to agree to a divorce, return my money, and stop targeting Josie?

"Will you all die if you leave my biological daughter alone?"

After a few seconds of silence, Westin said, "How about this? Let's call Mom and Dad over to discuss it."

Paityn ignored his suggestion and pulled out a thick stack of printed copies from her bag, tossing it in his face. "I've printed out your conversations with those women and male singers. Show them to your parents.

"If you refuse my two conditions, I will make this information public, and we will all suffer the consequences."

After saying this, Paityn grabbed her phone and turned to leave.

That night, Athena received a call from Paityn..

Paityn asked, trembling, "Is Josie fine?"

Athena didn't ignore her out of spite. She simply said indifferently, "I'll start the video, you can see for yourself."

Soon, Paityn saw Josie on the screen.

Josie was snuggled tightly in Claire's arms, wrapping her arms around Claire's neck, her voice soft and sweet as she said, "Mommy, Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight."

Athena said, "Josie is afraid that if she falls asleep, her mom will disappear."

Paityn's heart ached at this.

Back then, she always left when Alina fell asleep.

Claire kissed Josie's cheek and held a strawberry to her lips, saying, "Okay, I will sleep with you tonight. Let's go to Josie's

room."

Josie eagerly ate the strawberry and then picked up another large one, smiling sweetly, "The strawberry is so sweet. Mommy, you eat it."

"You're so adorable," Claire said, her heart softening. She swallowed the strawberry in one bite, her cheek pressed against Josie's as Claire showered her with kisses. "There's no little girl in this world cuter than Josie." "Then you must never get rid of me, Okay?" Josie said earnestly. I will always be good. You have to keep me forever."

Claire pressed her forehead against Josie's, saying gently yet firmly, "No matter what you will become, fat or short, obedient or disobedient, I will always love you and stay with you."

Josie covered her eyes and giggled, "I won't turn fat or short."

Athena turned off the video and asked Paityn, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

On the other end of the line, Paityn was in tears, holding back her sobs. "Josie is really happy. Thank you for taking such

good care of her. The Pittman family will no longer bother you, and I won't fight for custody of Josie. From now on, she's in your hands."

After hanging up, she took a deep breath, picked up her suitcase filled with personal belongings, and left the room, walking briskly toward the door.

Athena was momentarily stunned and thought, 'Why did Paityn and the Pittman family just let Josie go?"

The Donovan family had been preparing for the lawsuit for days, with stacks of evidence and documents piled up to over 6 inches high. Ryan had been ready to take on the Pittman family lawyer in court. But Paityn and the Pittman family gave up.

After staring at her phone screen for several seconds, she muted Josie in the family group chat and recapped Paityn's phone call.

The group exploded with messages.

Alaric was frantic. [The Pittman family must be trying to lull us into a false sense of security. We need to stay vigilant and not let our guard down.]

Arthur chimed in excitedly: [We have to keep a close eye on Josie. It's best not to take her out during this time, and if we do, at least two people should watch her. Let's take Bello along, too.] Brandon scoffed: [I don't trust her. We still need to be prepared for the lawsuit.]

Maria fumed: [I've been at home working on designs and keeping an eye on Josie. I won't let anything happen to her.]

In short, no one in the Donovan family trusted Paityn.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Paityn took a deep breath, picked up her suitcase filled with personal belongings, and left the room without taking anything else. She strode toward the door. Saanvi glared at her, her eyes filled with resentment. "Paityn, the Pittman family elevated you to greatness, and yet you betrayed us. We won't let you get away with this."

Westin added, "Paityn, without the support of the Pittman family, you are nothing. You will regret your choice for the rest of your life."

Paityn lifted her chin, not even glancing at them, her high heels striking the floor firmly as she walked past them.

The next morning at half past eight, Paityn unexpectedly posted her divorce certificate with Westin on Twitter, accompanied by a simple caption: [The past is dead. Time for a fresh start.] Although the ID number and Westin's name on the divorce certificate were blurred, the seal, divorce date, and issuing authority were clearly visible, leaving no room for doubt. Her Twitter exploded instantly.

Countless netizens frantically shared and commented.

However, Paityn's Twitter had disabled comments, forcing users to express their opinions elsewhere, leading to trending topics.

In the shock, many netizens responded with accusations and insults.

[Without the Pittman family giving her resources, how could she be where she is today? Is she really feeling secure enough to throw them aside?]

[After three years of marriage into the Pittman family, enjoying all their benefits, yet unable to bear a child, Paityn finally feels strong enough to divorce. Westin must have been blind to marry her.] [No wonder people say that women in this industry are heartless and actors are ungrateful.]

Paityn offered no explanation. After announcing her divorce, she vanished. Even her agent was unable to reach her.

The Donovan family struggled to process the news.

Arthur: [What's her game? I don't get it.]

Maria: [I still don't trust her.]

Brandon: [A woman like her, flip-flopping for her own benefit, could be playing a trick with the Pittman family. We must stay alert.]

Jaden: [Let's wait and see.]

Zayn: [I asked around, and it seems she really has severed ties with the Pittman family. They've been frantically buying trending topics to discredit her while ignoring Josie. That might be her condition.] The Donovan family, much like bored netizens, spent the day discussing Paityn's divorce.

While the netizens were still trying to figure out the truth behind Paityn's divorce, that evening, another series of shocking scandals involving the Pittman family broke online.

[Music titan Konnor Pittman has

been publicly accused of sexual harassment and exploitation by multiple female students, with further allegations that he and wife, Saanvi, accepted bribes, used manipulation to eliminate qualified candidates, admitted unqualified students, and fabricated papers.)

[The National Music Academy has suspended all of Konnor's activities and is conducting a full investigation.]

[The National Music Association and

the National Dance Troupe have also received numerous reports regarding Saanvi's abuse of power, accepting bribes, and tax evasion. Her duties have been suspended pending investigation.]

The Donovan family was left speechless.

Netizens were equally stunned.

The music and arts industries were in an uproar.

[What the heck? These two are renowned music figures! But they are hiding such filth, being treacherous and heartless.]

[These so-called veteran artists are just as scandalous as today's popular stars. It's just that their misdeeds didn't get exposed earlier because of less developed information channels.]

[So many stars and trending figures have been blacklisted for similar reasons. They can't be an exception, right?]

Amidst the public chatter, a shocking headline surfaced, shocking everyone.

[The piano titan Westin Pittman has

1.n

been taken away by the police, with insider information revealing he is suspected of engaging in

prostitution multiple times, with a total amount exceeding 2000 thousand dollars.]
