When Athena woke up, her back was so sore that she couldn't sit up straight.
"Awake, huh?"
Annie's voice, laced with a hint of coldness, sounded from across.
Athena lifted her gaze.
She saw Annie sitting with her legs crossed, calmly observing her. The gentle and generous demeanor she had displayed in the past few days was entirely gone.
A gloom enveloped her.
"So, you were involved after all." Athena's hands and feet were bound, leaving her unable to move. "In my entire life, I've been kidnapped twice, both by people from the Ross family. What a twisted fate."
"Are you referring to that filthy bastard?" Annie's tone dripped with disdain. "Did he touch you? It's quite strange. I thought Byron wouldn't like a stained woman. How did he end up in this mess for you? Could this be the true love people talk about?"
"Annie, if everything goes as expected, the entire Ross family will be yours after your father's death. Why do you have to do all this?" Athena didn't take her bait. "Do you really want the Ross family to be irreconcilable with Stella Group and Imbe Group? Does the Ross family have the strength to stand against them?"
"If Heather were still alive, perhaps what you're saying could intimidate me. But things are different now. Heather is dead, and what you've mentioned holds no meaning for me." Annie shrugged slightly. "I only want to seek justice for my sister and make those who harmed her pay a heavy price."
"Weren't you and Heather on bad terms?" Athena asked.
"That was just what people like you saw. Heather was my beloved sister. This pen was a gift from her." Annie lifted her hand, revealing a pen with a broken cap. "Do you want to know how much I despise all of you?"
Athena remained silent.

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?...
