As Xaviera was mentioned, so was Larry. Gerry could never have predicted what would come next.
"Did Byron mention it?"
"He talked about his own background," Athena replied, her eyes lowered.
Gerry shook his head. "When it happened, I strongly disagreed. I tried to stop it, and for that, I got slapped twice by Sir Crawford. He said I couldn't understand the pain since I never lost a child."
Athena didn't respond to that.
It seemed like Gerry was reminded of a painful memory, and he started feeling unwell.
Seeing this, his disciple quickly took him to the hospital without hesitation.
Liam looked utterly exhausted.
Seeing him like this, Athena softly said, "You've worked hard today. Go get some rest, and I'll treat you to a meal another day."
"Okay." Liam nodded.
Seeing Athena receive so many collectibles and jewels, Liam genuinely felt happy for her.
Having money on hand was always good.
After Liam left, Athena was about to depart as well.
However, the lobby manager who had assisted her earlier suddenly rushed toward her.
"Mrs. Crawford, wait a moment. There's something we need to confirm with you."
Athena stopped and looked at the approaching manager. "Didn't I sign everywhere I was supposed to? Did I miss something?"
"No, that's not it," the manager replied, unlocking his iPad to show some information. "You have another safe deposit box with us. The payment for it is due next month. Considering there's still ample space in your vault, would you like to merge the contents?"
The manager wanted Athena to purchase property insurance from him.
With so many valuable items in her vault, it was a golden opportunity for him.
So, he was particularly attentive.
"I have another box here?" Athena was taken aback.
She did have her own vault, but it wasn't in Mailand.
"Yes, you do."
The manager looked at the date of registration. "Exactly ten years ago."
Ten years earlier, she was playing the role of a stand-in lover for Byron.
While Byron had given her quite a lot, would she have stored it in a safe deposit box?
"Take me to it," Athena said.
Moments later, the square box was opened.
Inside, there was only a notebook wrapped in plastic wrap.
Athena took it out.
Apart from that, the box was empty.
She renewed the box for another year but didn't place the notebook back inside.
The only person she could think of who might use her name to open such a box was Byron.

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?...
