Once he was gone, Ronan and the others quickly locked the door and began plotting what benefits they could demand from Claire and the Donovan family.
A night passed. Shane drove a long limousine to take Ronan and the others to the set to find Zayn.
When they arrived at the location where Zayn had filmed yesterday, they discovered the crew had moved to another location and could not reach Zayn by phone.
They cursed Zayn before hopping back into Shane's car and heading straight for Donovan's Restaurant in Kitmore City.
Meanwhile, after breakfast, Athena instructed Maria to call Quentin's younger son, Joel.
When Joel heard it was Maria, he responded coldly and cautiously, "We haven't been in touch for over ten years. How did you get my number? What do you want from me?
"I'm married now and have three kids. The youngest was born just a few months ago, and I'm so poor that I can't even afford milk. I'm rushing to the construction site to work."
Maria knew he feared she was seeking help, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Joel, our family is rich now. Mom wants us to help our relatives, so you don't need to go to the construction site anymore."
Joel's tone was filled with skepticism. "Where did your family get the money? How much could you possibly have?"
Maria replied, "We live in a villa worth about 100 million dollars, and Mom runs a restaurant that's thriving."
She briefly explained her family's jobs and incomes, omitting any mention of Josie.
Athena wanted her to share this information because such news couldn't be kept secret for long.
The Stevens family would soon learn about the Donovan family's financial power, so it was better to disclose it all to Joel now and gain his trust.
Joel gasped, "Really? Are you not lying to me?"
Maria replied, "It's easy to tell if this is true or not. Why should I lie?
"Besides, Grandpa, Grandma, and the others all know about our family and have already gone to look for Zayn. They're preparing to come to Kitmore City to find us. We're just curious why you guys haven't come."
Upon hearing this, Joel found Maria's words somewhat credible and grumbled, "I wondered why I couldn't reach them these past few days. Turns out they went to Kitmore City to enjoy themselves without telling me.
"Maria, since you've warmly invited us, we have to visit your house. It's just that our family's financial situation is tight, so the travel expenses..."
Maria generously replied, "I'll give you 200 dollars."
After hanging up, she gave Athena a thumbs-up, her face radiating the excitement of a good kid doing something rebellious. "Athena, you're so smart! He really took the bait."
Athena smiled slyly, "The good show has only just begun."
