She Outshines 244
Chapter 244
Jaden asked Luna to tell the paparazzi that he was willing to talk to them.
Luna understood that Jaden did this to make the paparazzi owe her a favor. She did not stand on
ceremony and replied to them one by one.
Soon, those paparazzi sent representatives to Kitmore City to see Jaden.
Jaden brought Ryan to meet them in the private room of Donovan’s Restaurant.
He only had two requests.
Firstly, he wished them to apologize on their social media ount and exin the matter clearly.
They must not be sarcastic or avoid the important points.
Secondly, he wantedpensation. In the future, when he needed them to help him advertise or
show mercy, they had to cooperate. Of course, they only needed to help him once.
During this period of time, the paparazzi were being scolded by theizens. Some of them even
implicated the artists behind them. Their poprity had plummeted.
They wanted to settle the matter peacefully and immediately agreed. The two sides signed a letter
drafted by Ryan.
Subsequently, the paparazzi publicly apologized, and Jaden withdrew thewsuit, forgiving them on
their social media
ounts.
The storm passed just like that.
At the same time, Linda hade to Kitmore City to secretly investigate the Donovan family. She
first went to Vlento Court to find out more about the Donovan family.
An old man in the neighborhood told her, “The Donovan family moved away a long time ago. Mr.
Donovan is the CEO of the Bard Property. I heard that their family owns a restaurant and their
business is very good.”
Linda’s heart turned even colder. ‘If the Donovan family is awesome… I’d have no chance!’
With a suspicious heart, she drove to Bard Garden to take a look.
Bard Garden was no longer as dpidated and deserted as it used to be. Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
Some apartments had been bought and some people had moved in.
Most of the shops in the district were already open for business, offering food, clothing, household
items, and entertainment. The area was well-maintained, with plenty of greenery, clean streets, and
nearly all the sidewalks freshly repaired.
The roof of the second part had been sealed, and the workers were painting the outer walls.
The third part wasying the foundation, and it looked popr
Linda’s heart ached as she witnessed this. Under the pretense of inquiring about a house, she
entered the office building of the Bard Property sales department, where she found Wesley.
Wesley wore a well-pressed, high-end suit thatplemented his slightly graying hair, which was
neatlybed. He carried himself with a straight back and a strong physique, exuding a steady and
generous presence. There was a natural warmth to his dignity; hecked the greasy, overindulgent
appearance often associated with sess and instead embodied the capable and magnanimous
demeanor of a truly aplished man.

The employees were very polite when they saw him, but they were not reserved. They were
chatting andughing.
The people who bought the apartments also spoke highly of him, saying that he was a good leader.

Linda’s heart turned cold when she heard this… That night, she did not sleep at all.
The next day, she did not put on any makeup. With a haggard face and obvious dark circles under
her eyes, she appeared at the entrance of Donovan’s Restaurant and expressed that she must see
Jaden. Otherwise, she would stay at the door and not leave.
Arthur ran out to see her after calling his brother. He suppressed his anger and said, “There are
many people here. If there’s anything, let’s talk in the back alley.”
The two of them made a big detour and arrived at the corner of the alley behind Donovan’s
Restaurant.
Linda cried and kept exining to Arthur about her difficulties back then and how difficult it had
been for her for the past three years.
Arthur did not say a word. He only used a hateful gaze to express his attitude.
Not long after, Jaden arrived. He looked at Linda without any warmth in his eyes. “I’m very busy. If
you have something to say, say it quickly. I won’t wait for you.”
Linda gritted her teeth and knelt down, scaring Arthur.
Arthur quickly jumped to the side, not daring to let her kneel.
Jaden, on the other hand, was as steady as a rock. He put his hands in the pockets of his
windbreaker and looked down at Linda. “What do you want?”
“Jaden. I am sorry,” Linda said with tears in his eyes. “I won’t make such a mistake again. As long
as you’re willing to withdraw thewsuit, I’ll agree to anything.”
Jaden said calmly, “If you agree on two things, I will withdraw thewsuit.
“First, I want you to film a video to exin in detail how you took those photos and videos, and how
paparazzi to nder us and Luna.”
He took his phone out of his pocket. His phone had been in a “recorded” state since just now.
Jaden said, “I’ll record all your confessions as evidence.
you
contacted those
“If you continue to pester me in the future, I will publicize the video and let everyone know how ugly
your heart is.”
Linda’s already pale face turned even paler.
“J-Jaden,” she said in a trembling voice, “do you have to go this far?
“I’ve already paid you back the money I owe you. Can’t you remember what happened back then…”
“I have no feelings for you,” Jaden interrupted her. “If you say another word of nonsense, I’ll leave
immediately.
“If you go to my restaurant to cry, throw a tantrum, and make a scene, I’ll invite inte celebrities to
broadcast it live so everyone can witness the disgraceful behavior of a so-called nobledy from
Hupool City.”
Ffearing his words, Linda was afraid. She had sacrificed her great love and youth to be a
noblewoman. She could not be reduced to a joke.
Hence, she gritted her teeth. “I agree. What’s the second condition?”

Jaden was expressionless. “Disappearpletely from my life with my family and never appear
again.”
Linda was silent for more than ten seconds. She gritted her teeth and said, “I ept it. I’ll listen to
you!”

Now that Jaden had no more ws, Linda couldn’t give up. But there was no need to rush. She had
to get through the trouble
first.
Back then, Jaden had also rejected her with a clear attitude. In the end, he was moved. She
believed this time, she could do the same thing.
“Good.” Jaden waved his phone. “I’ve started recording. You can start confessing.”
Linda closed her eyes, tears welling up as she recounted how she had followed Jaden after spotting
him, how she had chased him to Oxhorn Vige, how she had uncovered Luna’s true identity, and
how she had secretly taken photos and videos.
Arthur gritted his teeth as he listened. He kept stomping his feet and waving his fists, wishing he
could rush up and beat her
1. up.
Jaden was very calm.
More than ten minutester, Linda finished recounting the entire ordeal through tears. She assured
them that she would no longer pester Jaden or the Donovan family.
Jaden put away his phone. “I’ll withdraw thewsuit tomorrow. You’d better keep your word.”
He retracted his gaze and did not look at Linda again. “Arthur, let’s go.”
Arthur left with him. He looked indignant. “Brother, are you going to let her off just like that?”
“What else?” Jaden said calmly, “We can’t beat her or kill her. Even if I win thewsuit, the worst
punishment she can get is administrative detention.
“Rather than letting her harass me after her detention, it’s better to get something against her.”
“But awsuit can ruin her reputation!” Arthur stomped his feet. “Her husband’s family would know
how bad she is and kick her out. That way, we can take revenge.”
