"Mom, Larry grew up with you. What did you do to make him like this? I don't wish Byron to become like Larry. I..."
Then, Alivia slapped his mother.
Then Alivia scolded his mother very emotionally, "Lola, I think you are crazy about becoming the chairman of Crawford Group, aren't you? I'm warning you for the first and last time, don't let me hear Larry's name from your mouth again. Otherwise, everything you have now and want in the future will be in vain!"
Byron ran out to protect his mother.
But as his mother saw him, she pushed him down in disgust, then left, covering her swollen cheek.
"Byron, are you okay?" Alivia nervously stepped forward to help him up.
Byron looked at Alivia and seriously said, "Grandma, you shouldn't slap my mother. I don't like you doing this!"
Alivia's expression turned very complex at the moment.
Later, when Byron grew up, he learned that Lola had such a big conflict with Alivia that day because Lola wanted to take Byron back. If Alivia refused, it would be fine, at the price that Julian was becoming the heir of Crawford Group.
Lola didn't mean to retrieve his biological son.
She just wanted the heir of Crawford Group.
Alivia didn't say anything, so Byron asked again, "Who is Larry?"
"Larry... is my son."
From that day on, Byron remembered that he had a deceased uncle named Larry.
And Larry's name was taboo in the family.
For kids.
Taboo was an exciting thing to explore.
That afternoon, Byron opened Larry's diary.
After a while.
Athena was sitting in the car.
She read Larry's diary page by page.
Occasionally, dates would appear in the diary, but most of the time, it was simply Larry's venting of emotions.
"Compared with endless studying, I would rather lie down and sleep without thinking about anything."
"Why does my mother always want me to do things I don't like?"
"I resisted my mother, and she beat me."
"It really hurt when the cane beat me. How can I escape?"
"My father really doesn't love me. He broke two of my ribs, cutting off our biological relations."
The entire diary was like a recorder of the top ten tortures in ancient times.
Larry had always been punished and beaten... his humanity had been suppressed...
Reading it, Athena felt chills all over her body.
"My mother says that a filial son emerges from being beaten. She says her strictness is because she loves me, but doesn't she love my younger brother? Why won't my younger brother get beaten? Why doesn't she have such high requirements for my younger brother?"
"My mother says that I am the heir of Crawford Group, and I am different from my younger brother. Why are we different? I say that I am no longer the heir. Can you be gentler to me like you are to my younger brother? My mother slapped me in the face, saying she was disappointed with me... Tonight, she punished me by not allowing me to have dinner... I am fatigued, like a drowning person. Who can... save me?"
The first half of the diary was quite normal.
But in the last half of the diary.
Those notes scratched several pages.

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?...
