After sitting all day, Athena felt uncomfortable on her shoulders, back, and neck.
"Miss Newton, you didn't have to make the trip yourself. It's enough for me here." Liam followed beside Athena and said in a deep voice.
Sipping her water, Athena said calmly, "I have a little personal motivation of my own."
"Personal motivation?"
"Devon Sanon's wife helped me." Athena's tone was still faint.
Actually, it wasn't a help.
The year that Sunshine Group and Imbe Group signed the partnership was the second year that she followed Byron. Byron probably realized that he was a bit too obsessed with her.
His attitude toward her abruptly turned indifferent.
At the signing dinner, Athena, who Byron had commanded to work for over three months, couldn't hold on physically any longer. She had a terrible stomach ache that night.
She found a small corner of the venue to rest in alone.
A plain woman saw her and asked, "Is it your period, sweetie?"
Athena waved her hand. "My stomach hurts."
The woman nodded. After leaving for a while, she brought Athena warm water and a box of unopened medicine. "Devon always has a stomachache, so I carry the medicine. It's unopened. Take two pills quickly. It's very effective!"
As Athena returned to the venue after getting more comfortable, she saw that woman standing with Devon of the Sunshine Group. She then realized that the woman was Devon's wife.
So Athena saw Sunshine Group when she was taking inventory of the things that Byron had not dealt with and paid special attention to it.
"His wife?" Liam thought it over. "She seemed to have passed away a long time ago."
"Mmm. I was still working as Byron's secretary at that time." Athena said, "Pancreatic cancer. Four weeks from the time she was diagnosed until she passed away."
Somewhat regrettably, it was already three months after her funeral when Athena learned about it.
"You are the person valuing emotions. You remember all these so clearly," Liam said.
Athena didn't respond to that.
She thought, "Do I value emotions?"
Athena always felt that she was quite indifferent.
She just felt that she had to return the favor if she was treated well.
Otherwise, it would be unfair.
"Sunshine Group has a big problem, basically from head to toe. It's hard as hell to be saved." Athena continued, "What I can do is only up to here. The rest is up to Devon."
"I'll go inform the Imbe AI team." Liam saw Athena was tired and thought she could return to rest earlier.

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?...
