Chapter 39 Athena Represents the CEO
When she finished her words, the audience fell silent for an
instant.
Gideon lowered his gaze, couldn’t hold back, and he chuckled, “Your words make a lot of sense, Miss Newton.”
“What do you mean? You don’t want to talk to us, do you?” The villager who took the lead suddenly stood up and slapped the table again.
Carlos hurriedly smoothed things over, saying, “Calm down! Calm down!”
As he said that, he looked at Athena. “Miss Newton, we really need to discuss this matter carefully. It’s useless to act on impulse. If the construction period is delayed, the loss will be the company’s!”
Athena looked at Carlos in confusion. “Act on impulse? Mr. Butler, I’m just talking about the facts. Am I saying anything wrong?”
Carlos was speechless.
He was terribly displeased being suppressed by a woman.
Carlos looked at Gideon and thought, “Theoretically, this person with surnamed Hale should be of a higher rank. Why would he allow this woman to cause trouble here?”
“Mr. Hale, you two have come all the way here to solve the problem, right? You can’t let Miss Newton mess around like this, can you?”
Gideon glanced at him and shrugged helplessly.
“Miss Newton represents the CEO, and what she says
represents the meaning of the CEO.”
Carlos didn’t know how to respond.

Meanwhile, Athena was still calm and relaxed, with an expression of wanting to continue to enjoy their acts all over her face.
He gritted his teeth, looked at the villagers, and said, “Everyone, you’ve heard it too. Miss Newton is different from me, and she represents the CEO. She has the full authority to make decisions here. Don’t worry about it. If you have any requests, spit it out!”
Right then, they had discussed it before. Now that Carlos said so, they could start talking about money.
“We understand that your project has already achieved this
level, and relocation is a waste of money. How about 200 million dollars, then we will move the grave,” said the leading man while holding out two fingers.
“200 million dollars?” Gideon was shocked.
The man folded his arms as if they had already been gracious, saying, “If you make a relocation, you will lose more than 200 million dollars. We have so many people in the village, and we will all be affected by the relocation of our ancestors’ graves. Losing money is a trivial matter. Once we get sick, this money will be essential to buy back our life!”
“Exactly! 200 million dollars is not much at all!”
“We are already being merciful. We gambled the lives of the
whole village to help you save from losing more than one
billion dollars. Don’t you be ignorant not knowing what’s good for yourself!”
The scene went into an uproar.
Yet, Athena remained calm and let the clamorous mob continue to make a scene.
Gideon had an intuition that Athena might have a solution to the matter.
He remembered last night’s phone call from Byron.
He simply stayed put and sat beside Athena.
Those people made a scene yet didn’t get any response.
Slowly, they calmed down and looked at each other.
Carlos got impatience.

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?...
