She Outshines 277
Chapter 277
At the critical moment, an SUV sped over, heading straight toward the two staff members.
The two staff members were scared out of their wits. They quickly let go of Maria and jumped to the
side.
The SUV swiftly stopped with precision and forceful impact in front of them.
The car door was opened. Louis leaped out like a wild wolf and punched the staff member who
snatched the phone in the face.
The staff member’s nose was instantly crooked. Blood gushed out rapidly, and the phone flew out of
his hand.
Louis strode forward and grabbed the phone in the air. He then ced it in Maria’s arms and said
politely, “Miss Donovan, please wait for me for a minute.”
Then, it was time for Louis to showcase his fighting skills.
He threw a punch to the left and a punch to the right.
Then, he delivered a kick to the left and a kick to the right.
The two staff members were beaten until they had no strength to fight back. They fell to the ground
and wailed.
Maria was stunned.
Andrew and Zoe were also stunned.
A minuteter, Louis took out a smallb,bed his slightly messy hair, and adjusted his
clothes. Then, he walked up to Maria, picked up her suitcase, and said politely, “Miss Donovan, it’s
gettingte. Let me send you home.”
Maria had not recovered from her shock, but she said reflexively, “Oh, okay. Sure.”
It was not until Louis had driven off 100 feet that Maria recovered from her shock. She thanked him
repeatedly, saying, “Thank you, Louis. I owe you another favor.”
Louis said modestly, “Oh, it’s nothing. I happened to be dropping off a client at the airport. On the
way, I saw your post on Facebook about flying back to Kitmore City tonight. I was wondering if I
would run into you. Well, what are the odds?”
Maria heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re on the way. Otherwise, I’d feel bad if you came
all the way here to pick me up sote at night.”
Louis thought, ‘Maria is so honest. With all the good resources around her, she doesn’t make use of
them and insists on doing everything herself. Well, I’ll pay more attention and keep an eye on her
from now on!
He changed the subject. “I heard that you studied in Dichester for a month. How did it go?”
Out of so many people in the Donovan family, the one he paid the most attention to was Maria.
He couldn’t help it. Other than Josie, Maria was the weakest in the Donovan family.
Maria had to be stronger. Only then could the Donovan family truly be strong.
Maria was very happy to have someone talk to her about this. “Dichester Art College is amazing. I
was only there for a month. Every day, I felt like I gained so much wisdom and insight from the
teachers,pared to traditional learning… Also, the first set of jewelry I created is about to be
launched…”
She had not told her family about this yet.

After all, Athena was “Miss Yonder”. Before her work was recognized by the market, she was
abashed about letting Athena see her humble work.
Louis was gratified when he saw her speaking with enthusiasm and high spirits. It was as if he saw
a flower seedling that he watered every day grow rapidly, ready to bear a flower bud.
At this moment, the Donovan family’s home was very quiet.
Everyone was asleep except for Athena, who was staying upte working on the script.
She had already chosen Lemez Studio, which had an excellent reputation and a track record of
producing high-quality work, from many film and televisionpanies that sought coboration, as
the productionpany for the TV series “Detective Lockwood”
She did not ask for a high copyright fee, but she demanded creative control for as much as 50%.
She also demanded that she would be the one to decide the male and female leads as well as the
script.
Normally, a big brand like Lemez Studio would not grant such a high level of creative control to the
original author.
But after learning that she was the mysterious top screenwriter Samira and that she had designated
Zayn and Luna as the male and female leads, Lemez Studio was thrilled.
The producer said, “Samira, it’s our honor to be able to get a script written by you. Don’t worry. We
won’t change a word of the script you write.”
The director was practically eager to worship her. “Luna has always refused to act in a TV series,
but you managed to convince her to star in her first one. This drama will definitely be a hit. And
Zayn is just perfect for the role. Your judgment
is wless.”
Just like that, both parties happily signed the contract.
ording to the agreement, “Detective Lockwood” would start filming in four months at thetest.
She had to finish the script as soon as possible.
Currently, Zayn was ying the second male lead in a new movie, with a filming period of no more
than three months. Luna, on the other hand, made a stunningeback with a new film.
“High Mountain” had been in theaters for half a month, and its box office had already surpassed 100
million dors. Everyone in the industry said that she could win another title of Best Actress or even
the International Best Actress Award.
But her current mentality was veryid-back, She just wanted to deliver a good performance in her
acting and not chase after awards. Right now, she was acting in a y and would only join the
production team once the filming of “Lockwood’s Detective Diary” started.
To better portray the character of Lockwood, she even rented a room at the campus of Kitmore
University. She stayed there whenever she was free to observe and experience the life of today’s
university students.
Since everyone was working so hard, Athena naturally had to make sure the script was well-written.
After writing until she was tired, she took off her magnifying sses and nced at the time. She
was surprised to see that it was almost two in the morning.
She stood up, did a long stretch, and picked up the mutrient solution, which helped with staying up
late, she had prepared Then, she walked to the balcony and drank it slowly while enjoying the
breeze.
After that, she saw an SUV pull up at the entrance of her vi

Maria kept bowing, saying, “Louis, thank you. If you hadn’t helped me tonight, I don’t know how
badly I would have been bullied by Andrew.”
Louis handed the suitcase to Maria and said politely, “It’s no sweat. You don’t have to thank me a
gazillion times. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, feel free to let me know. I don’t find
it troublesome at all.”
Maria smiled gratefully again. “Thank you for being thoughtful. I’ll do my best to avoid situations like
this in the future.” She then said goodbye to Louis and dragged her suitcase upstairs.
Athena walked into the room and called Louis. “I saw you dropping Maria off. Maria mentioned she
was bullied by Andrew. What happened?”
Not daring to keep things from Athena, Louis exined the reason in detail. He then said, “Miss
Donovan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely deal with Andrew and won’t let this slide.”
“Thank you.” Athena nodded. “But let me handle this matter. I’ll remember your favor.”
Louis hurriedly said, “Not at all. You’ve helped Mr. Graham and Lucy before. Mr. Graham instructed
me to repay the favor on his behalf if there’s a chance. If you want to remember a favor, consider
this a favor done by Mr. Graham. Also, it’s gettingte. You should rest soon. Otherwise, Mr.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Graham will be heartbroken if he finds out.”
Athena was left speechless.
A few secondster, she put down her phone and touched her slightly flushed cheeks. She then
returned to her room and sat in front of herputer.
‘Andrew and Zoe actually dared to bully the honest Maria?’ she thought. ‘I have to stand up for
Maria and get back at them.”
Soon, she found a video from the airport’s surveince footage showing Andrew and Zoe in each
other’s arms, chatting andughing as they walked out of the airport.
She copied the video and anonymously sent it to dozens of marketing ounts and paparazzi,
including the ounts set up by Andrew’s opponents,petitors, and so on.
‘It won’t be long before the news of Andrew’s downfall goes viral across the inte, she thought.
‘Let’s see if he can still rise then.
