In the surveillance video, Byron could be seen bending down to pick up his broken phone. He fiddled with it himself and then looked as if he was sure that the phone was completely wrecked.
Afterward, he called one of the altar servers and after exchanging a few words, the altar servant ran away quickly. A moment later, the altar server returned with a phone.
Byron took the phone and seemed to thank the altar server.
He lowered his head and dialed a series of numbers, and not long after, Mia's phone rang.
The caller's identification was an unknown number.
Before Rose could say a word, Mia had already answered the phone and called out, "Byron!"
"How do you know it was me?" Byron's gentle and smiling voice came from the other side of the phone.
Mia realized that she had let her tongue slip.
But she was quick-witted and hurriedly said, "Only you will give me a call!"
"That's right," Byron chuckled, "I wasn't careful earlier and accidentally broke my phone. It didn't scare you, did it?"
Mia shook her head and said, "No."
But she didn't mention that she had thought Byron was kidnapped.
Aiden took away his laptop, lowered his eyes, and said to Rose in a low voice, "I'm going back first."
However, the words just left Aiden's mouth when he suddenly heard Byron asking Mia, "Is your brother also there?"
Mia hurriedly responded, "Yes!"
Aiden's steps paused momentarily, but he didn't even say hello to Byron before going straight back to his study.
Rose watched his small back and immediately had a strange feeling in her heart.
Aiden seemed to be a little too cold towards Byron.
Although Aiden didn't seem to be very enthusiastic when dealing with anyone except his own mother, he would still show some basic courtesy to them.
Mia soon continued her conversation with Byron, which was interrupted earlier, while Rose got up and walked towards Aiden's study.
When Mia was on the island, she didn't draw in her room but always in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the sea in the living room, and Aiden had specially chosen the study on the first floor.

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?...
