Byron's smile faded as he heard the words, his brow furrowing in frustration. "You are wrong; she isn't."
Athena crossed her arms, her gaze cold as she looked at him.
Taking two steps toward her, he said, "What nonsense are you spouting now? If she was the one I loved, why would I be begging you?"
In fact, Freya was the only initial obstacle standing between Athena and Byron.
And even now, that obstacle still existed.
If Athena cared about the barrage of text messages Freya had sent during the day, she would be hurt.
If there was no romantic relationship between her and Byron, why would she be so angry?
Athena had once been someone else's stand-in, and she would never forget the terror and helplessness she felt when she saw Freya in that hospital, as her world crumbled around her.
She never liked Freya.
But after being caught in the rain, she didn't want to become someone like her either.
So...
If she really wanted to consider starting over with Byron, she had to be clear about his relationship with Freya.
As long as it was confirmed, no matter what Byron's intentions had been over the past five years and whether he saw her as a substitute or truly loved her, Athena would not turn back.
"In the past five years, there have been countless gossip reports about your love affair with Freya," Athena said, "She stood by you through life and death, helped you weather the storm within the company. And you've always been her support."
"The gossip reports are all made up!" Byron's voice was deep and firm. "Go and see for yourself. Which of those media outlets that spread those rumors are still standing? As for supporting her... that was true, but I did it only because she saved my life."
Athena looked at him skeptically. "Are you telling me that you and Freya didn't make up?"
"Of course not!" Byron said seriously. "My heart has always belonged to you, and I'm not that kind of unfaithful as you think."
Athena fell silent.

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?...
