Chapter 391

Arthur and Alaric’s plans to go back to the cinema to watch “Chasing the Horizon were delayed

On the third day after Christmas, the whole family went to watch a sci–fi movie, and afterward, they went out to eat and

drink.

On the fourth day after Christmas, Josie insisted on going to watch “Bearbump. Arthur, Alaric, and Maria had to accompany

her to watch it.

The following day, Wesley and Claire decided to watch a comedy, while Jarlen, Brandon, and Zayn had social commitments. Athena spent her days running errands.

Arthur and Alaric could not leave the elderly and children all to Maria, Hence, they had no choice but to stay home and take care of the elderly, while also fitting in some workouts and baske ball practice.

In the following days, it snowed, and the freezing cold made them reluctant to go outside.

After that, the weather turned to rain, which felt even colder than the snow.

It was the same every day.

It was not until the 15th day after Christmas did the weather finally cleared up.

Arthur and Alaric finally dragged their weary bodies out the doot and went to see “Chasing the Horizon” for the second time.

This time, they were well–prepared. As soon as the iconic scene appeared, they had their phones ready and took continuous shots of the girl in the picture.

The photo was very clear.

Arthur’s phone also captured it with great clarity,

They could see the girl’s face clearly in the photo.

The moment they saw her face clearly, both brothers were stunned.

Arthur asked, ‘Doesn’t it look like her?”

Alaric nodded. “It really does. That face looks about 60-70% like Athena’s.”

Arthur stammered, “C–could it be Zilvia?”

Alaric shook his head. “It can’t be such a coincidence, right?”

Arthur let out a bitter laugh. “You’re right. After searching for so many years with no leads, how could we suddenly just find her…

The two brothers walked out of the theater in silence.

One went left.

One went right.

After walking for a distance, the two of them slapped their foreheads. Each of them asked, “Wait, where am I going?”

“Where’s Alaric?

Chapter 391

“Where’s Author?”

They quickly turned around and headed back, only to bump in each other face–to–face.

After staring at each other for a moment, Alaric rubbed his hair

frustration and said, “I can’t take it anymore! I just can’t let

this gol I have to go find that girl myself, see her up close, and get the truth directly from her”

Zilvia’s matter had always been a lingering knot for the Donovan family.

As long as it remained unresolved, the family could never truly peace.

Arthur also said. “I think so too. Why don’t we investigate secret

The issue with Zilvia was a painful one for the Donovan family, and without getting to the bottorn of it, they could not risk letting anyone in the family know.

Alaric nodded and placed an arm over Arthur’s shoulder. “Let’s go eat. We’ll talk while we eat,” he said.

Although they were both young, one was a well–known restaurant owner and the other an emerging star in the sports world, so both of them had plenty of connections.

The two of them discussed in the restaurant for quite a while before finally coming up with a plan.

That evening, Arthur called Luna’s agent, Horace. After some pleasantries, he said. “I watched ‘Chasing the Horton‘ and really liked the lead actress. I’d like to get to know her, so I’m calling you to see if you know her.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Though the photo did not specify who the girl was, after Alaric and Arthur thought it through, they figured she had to be the lead actress

Horace was surprised. “You mean Joy? Haha, looks like you have finally got a crush!”

Arthur chuckled. “Horace, you know how it is–just keep this between us, okay? If it gets out, I’ll be so embarrassed.”

“I understand,” Horace said with a knowing smile. “I do know a thing or two about Joy…”

He told Arthur everything he knew about Joy.

Meanwhile, Alaric also called his agent, asking for the personal information of the female lead of “Chasing the Horizon“. Alaric explained, “I want to invite her to do an advertisement. If can get her number, I’d like to contact her personally.”

The club provided him with a highly competent and well–connected agent. Hence, by the next morning, Alaric received Joy’s phone number.

After sharing the information they had gathered, the two brothers felt a sense of disappointment

Arthur sighed heavily, looking discouraged. “Looks like she has no connection to Zilvia at all”

Alaric ran his fingers through his hair. “I think so too, but… I cant accept this outcome.”

He gritted his teeth and added, “Since we’ve already started the investigation, why don’t we go straight to her and ask her?” Arthur did not sleep well last night and even had dark circles under his eyes.

“That’s what I have in mind too. After so many years, other than Athena, this is the first time I’ve seen a girl who looks so much like Zilvia. Especially that gaze and expression. They’re really too

similar,” he said.

“If I don’t ask her in person, I’ll keep thinking about this.”

The two brothers went ahead with their plan.

Chapter 391

Two days later, Kitmore University reopened for the new semester.

At four in the afternoon, Arthur and Alaric told everyone they were going out for a game and a meal. They said casually. “We won’t be back for dinner tonight.” Then, they headed straight to Kitmore University.

Joy was a prominent figure at Kitmore University, known by everyone and recognized by all.

It did not take the brothers much effort to find out where Joy was

A student said. “Oh, Joy? She has classes today. She must be at school, but I don’t know where she is.

“If she shows up, she’ll probably be swarmed by all the

need to reach her, it’s better to call her phone directly students. So, she’s pretty low–key. It’s not easy to find her. If you

Alaric and Arthur fiddled with their phones, hesitating to call. After lingering in the restaurant for a while and drinking a little, they finally mustered the courage to make the call to joy.

They did not mention anything about Zilvia. Instead, they introduced themselves and explained that Joy resembled a very important, long–lost friend of theirs.

They wanted to meet her to talk about this friend and hoped Joy would not feel offended by that.

After Joy calmly listened, she said with a smile, “You guys specially came to the school to look for me. I happen to be free, so

let’s meet.

“The campus is crowded, and I don’t want to be gossiped about. Why don’t you come to my place instead? Just be careful on your way over and try not to be seen.”

Arthur quickly said, “Thank you. We will be careful and not let anyone see us.”

Joy smiled. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

The evening in February was cold, and most people would not venture out unless necessary.

With the new students arriving, the staff was particularly busy that evening, leaving the staff dormitory area quiet and deserted

Joy hacked into the school’s surveillance system. After hacking into the surveillance cameras in the staff dormitory area, Joy poured herself a cup of coffee and stood in front of the window to drink it slowly.

Soon, through the gap in the curtains, Joy saw Arthur and Alaric downstairs.

“They’ve chased me all the way here.” Joy smiled faintly and muttered softly, “I really have to entertain them well.”

At the same time, Athena received a call.

“We saw through the surveillance camera that Arthur and Alaric appeared downstairs at Joy’s place and went upstairs. It’s possible that they were looking for Joy.”

Athena’s heart sank. “Send someone to keep watch below Joy’s place. If anything seems out of place, go in immediately,” she ordered.

Then, Athena grabbed her coat and quickly went downstairs. She got into her car and drove to Kitmore University.
