Athena paused, looking at Liam. "Because of that sea?"
Liam nodded. "Mr. Crawford said you would surely love this place."
Athena's brows furrowed slightly.
Withdrawing her gaze, she looked back at the sea, but it was now misted over as if by tears.
Last month, the man who was Byron's father in the name on behalf of the Crawford family had approached her.
Seeing that Imbe Group had stabilized on all fronts and that she had held the fort, they began to urge her to process Byron's death certificate and announce his death to the public.
Then, to hold a funeral and a memorial service for him.
Athena was furious, even stopping the monthly supply to Byron's father.
But so much time had passed.
Her heart had broken over and over again. She had tried everything, but she hadn't found any trace of Byron.
Not even a hint. And now, how could they ask her to conclude that he was dead?
She couldn't do it even until she died.
"Mrs. Crawford, I know Mr. Crawford was troublesome in the past, but I can clearly feel that he truly loved you deeply," Liam said with a touch of sorrow, "You don't know after the news of your presumed death, Office of the President was in mourning. Many submitted their resignations. Mr. Crawford offered high salaries to keep them... but we all knew he wasn't trying to keep the staff. He was just trying to keep those associated with you."
"I know," Athena replied, nodding lightly.
She already knew how much Byron loved her and no longer sought any confirmation.
She even started to plan a future with him.
"I'm sorry, I... I spoke too much," Liam said and wiped away tears. "In any case, even if it's for Mr. Crawford's past wishes, I want to stay and see this project through."
Athena's gaze grew colder.
"I will," she answered firmly, "If anyone tries to stop me, no matter why and when, I will make them pay!"

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?...
