Annie was scared when Hensley attacked her.
She panicked and shocked him several times.
She didn't know how strong the electric shock was nor whether Hensley was dead. All she could smell was burnt flesh.
After shocking him, Annie looked at Athena and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Are there more of their people here?" Athena asked.
Annie shook her head. "This place belongs to you and Byron. Robert and I thought having too many people would attract attention, so only Hensley and I came to get you."
"Do you still want to kill me?" Athena asked bluntly.
Annie looked at her, her brow furrowed, and her lips were trembling.
"Of course, I want to kill you," Annie said through gritted teeth, "Heather died because of you all! You know, in the vast Ross family, I have many brothers and sisters. Only Heather was truly sincere to me. When she was little, she would kneel in my father's study all day and night to beg him to forgive me when he punished me. She would save up two years of pocket money to buy the fountain pen I liked..."
Annie held her head very painfully.
"After my fiancé died in a car accident, my family only lamented the loss of a suitable marriage partner. My father immediately started looking for a new marriage partner. No one thought I would be sad. No one thought I loved him! Only Heather did. She flew thousands of miles and sat on a plane for more than ten hours to be with me... I have many relatives, but only Heather is my true family!
"I just wanted to fulfill her wish to marry the man she loved. I never thought this decision would push her to a dead end..." Annie became more and more distressed. "Robert was right. The real culprits aren't you and Byron. It's me! It's me who went against everyone's opinions and switched the girl who was supposed to marry Byron to Heather..."
"Annie, I didn't have much contact with Heather, so I don't know her as well as you do. I want to know, if Heather knew that you and Robert killed so many people, including some she might have known or met, would she be happy?" Athena asked.
Annie was taken aback.

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?...
