Perhaps it was because Athena had recently been overindulging in her own gossip.
It started as a form of amusement.
Surprised, she realized that Freya had once set her sights on Imbe Group Energy.
"Why do I encounter these opportunistic people wherever I go?" As she thought this, a sarcastic voice came from the entrance.
Athena turned to look.
Before coming to Imbe Group Energy, she had gone through the profiles of the management team. She had a vague memory of the newcomer.
Joey Brant.
The human resources director of Imbe Group Energy.
He had been transferred from Imbe Group three years ago.
"Mr. Brant..."
"Mr. Brant!"
The startled ones who had been enjoying the gossip earlier immediately stood up. Their heads bowed in fear.
"What did Ms. Bates ever do to offend you? She was replaced by a mistress who took away her love and everything else. And you're mocking her? Look at the pitiful salaries you all receive every month. Are you worthy?"
Joey started berating them without hesitation.
"What did I say wrong?" The man who had expressed his desire to see Athena in person raised his voice, "Didn't she harm the colleagues close to Miss Newton when she was absent from the head office? Mr. Brant, I know that you were assigned here by Freya. But you should stick to the facts as a man, right?"
"Exactly, our salaries might be little, but we don't spread rumors. Everyone knows that Freya married into royalty after Byron fell into a coma from a car accident. Could Byron not move on? During the years when Imbe Group was thriving, Miss Newton was there with Byron, working tirelessly. And what did she do? As soon as the tree planted by others provided shade, she returned to claim Byron. It's clear who the mistress is!"
Joey was taken aback.
A few low-level employees dared to challenge him directly.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
