The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Chapter 270

Just as Zayn rejoined the cast to continue filming The King of Military Dogs, Lemez announced on their official Twitter account a significant update:

Season 1 of Lockwood’s Detective Diary is fully prepared and will officially start filming early next month. Let’s look forward to Luna’s performance as Detective Lockwood and Zayn’s performance as the mysterious male lead.

The official Twitter account also tagged Luna and Zayn.

When the news broke, the internet exploded again.

What the heck! Luna is actually acting as Lockwood? As a big-name movie star, she’s willing to take on a TV series?

At first glance, she looks a little old, but on second thought, in terms of looks and acting skills, who can compare to her?

No wonder Luna has been dressing so youthfully lately. Just looking at her photos, she really does resemble a college student, not a woman approaching thirty.

With a powerhouse combination like Lemez Studio, Luna, and Zayn, there’s really no need for special promotion. Who wouldn’t want to watch the shows they make?

Luna also retweeted this post, saying:

Thank you, Lockwood, for choosing me to play my favorite character, Lockwood. I will do my best to portray the most charming version of Lockwood!

Only then did fans and netizens realize that Luna had taken the initiative to act as Lockwood.

Even those netizens who hadn’t seen Lockwood Holmes were excited:

A character that Luna loves so much must be very charming, so let’s go read the online novel version now!

These pieces of news exploded online one after another, bringing significant attention to Zayn and Lockwood’s Detective Diary.

However, the members of the Carter family, who had weathered many storms, remained composed. They continued with their usual tasks and didn’t panic just because Zayn was in the spotlight or facing criticism.

After making the final revisions and checking the ending of the script for Lockwood’s Detective Diary, Avery encrypted the conclusion and sent it to the director, Luna, and Zayn.

Then she stood up, stretched herself, and turned her neck left and right.

Her gaze swept over to the calendar hanging on the wall.

Soon, it was November 22nd — Alexander’s 24th birthday.

"Time really flies. Actually, it’s not that fast. At the very least, 16 years have passed since Maggie’s case, but the real culprit has yet to be found," she muttered to herself. "If my analysis is correct, this time, I should be able to bring peace to her soul in heaven. This time might be the last chance. If I can’t find anything, it may never be found again."

She sent a message to Alexander:

November 22nd is approaching. Regarding the case from 16 years ago, Lockwood has a bold hypothesis that may lead to identifying the mastermind, but she needs to visit the Moran family first.

Alexander replied:

I’ll fully cooperate with whatever Lockwood wants to do.

Avery shared her plans with him and then asked:

While I’m away from the country, has anything new happened with the Moran family?

Alexander said:

Yes. Nicolas’s lovers have received death threats.

After experiencing food poisoning at Archie’s birthday party, Nicolas was hospitalized for a few days before being discharged.

After a thorough examination, his health showed no major issues, but he was quite weak and could not endure traveling or overexertion, so he needed to rest at home.

There was no woman he liked in the Moran family. He had originally wanted to move into his lover’s house and let her take care of him.

However, all his lovers received the same message:

Those close to Nicolas will die.

Someone investigated the source of the message and discovered that the phone number used to send the messages was surprisingly the same as the one belonging to Maggie when she was alive. The phone that Maggie used while she was alive went missing after her fall and had not been found to this day.

This incident frightened Nicolas’s lovers.

They had heard how badly Maggie had been treated and didn’t want to suffer the same fate, nor did they want to take care of a patient.

Nicolas had no choice but to return to the Moran family home to rest.

After receiving the news, Avery nodded and replied:

If I can identify the mastermind, I will definitely be able to find your mother’s phone.

November 21st evening.

Lockwood, wearing a trench coat, with short hair and glasses, arrived at the Moran family home.

Avery applied a special artificial skin to her face, altering her features, and used a voice modulator to make herself sound several years older than her actual age, appearing wise and aloof.

Alexander was slightly surprised to see her. However, he did not say anything. He only said politely, "Miss Carter, please come in."

Everyone in the Moran family knew that the famous detective novelist Lockwood was here, so they ran over curiously to watch.

Farrah also came out with her daughter to meet Lockwood.

This was the first time Avery met Loreen.

Loreen was about 17 or 18 years old. Her skin was very fair, and there were faint freckles on her face. Her hair was a little curly, and she was considered the cute type. However, her facial features and height were not as outstanding as her parents and the Alexander siblings.

She looked at Avery with a mix of wariness and curiosity, saying:

"Are you the Diary author Lockwood of Lockwood’s Detective Diary?"

Avery, who had transformed into Lockwood, exuded a calmness that exceeded her.

Avery said calmly, "I can only confirm that the murderer must be in the Moran family."

"Who couldn’t guess that?" Loreen sneered. "Just say who you suspect the most."

Avery replied, "At least, you’re definitely not the murderer."

There were low chuckles all around.

"You’re the most annoying!" Loreen stomped her foot in frustration. "If my brother can’t figure it out, there’s no way you can either."

Alexander ignored her and stepped forward, coldly staring at Farrah. "Since you’re here, please be the first to be interrogated by Lockwood."

Farrah replied coldly, "What if I refuse?"

Alexander said with an expressionless face, "I will consider you the mastermind and make you pay a heavier price."

Farrah’s expression changed. She wanted to scold him back, but when she met Alexander’s cold gaze, she endured it and said indifferently to Avery, "What do you want to ask?"
