Geroge's face became more and more ugly. "As I said, Miss Annie Ross was bewitched by Robert!"
"You are her admirer, and Mr. Ross is her father. Both of you can come up with reasons to justify her actions. But I am the victim. Why do you ask the victim to find reasons for the perpetrator and prove her innocence and good intentions?"
"Mrs. Crawford, you are also responsible for Miss Ross's tragedy!" Geroge's tone grew more agitated.
"What responsibility? Before her engagement, didn't you investigate Byron's background? Were you unaware of my existence?" Athena asked sharply and then said, "Moreover, after breaking off the engagement, what kind of life Heather wanted to live depended on herself. If you want to assign blame, it should be Mr. Ross's responsibility. He didn't care about his daughter, which led her down a path of no return. He is even worse than Robert. At least Robert never gave up on saving Heather until she lost her usefulness, then he decisively chose to abandon her."
"You!" Eddie's eyes widened.
"Did I say something wrong?" Athena fearlessly looked back at him. "Let me tell you, trying to shift baseless accusations onto Byron and me is futile. There's no chance of moral coercion here."
After finishing speaking, Athena crossed her arms and leaned back in the chair.
"Don't lose your temper. Just read the contract. If you feel it's inappropriate, just leave. You're not my only option."
As soon as she said this, the people from the Ross family immediately panicked.
"Mrs. Crawford, this cooperation was agreed upon with us when Mr. Crawford was present. What do you mean by saying we're not your only option?"
"Yeah, we've already invested a lot of manpower and resources in the early stages!"
After the members of the Ross family finished their hasty remarks, Athena responded calmly, "The decision to cooperate or not lies with the Ross family, not me."
Eddie's face turned extremely unpleasant.

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?...
