"I was worried about you," Evie said, holding Athena's arm. "Lola brought this upon herself. It's karma!"
Athena didn't respond.
Evie didn't go back that night and slept in the lounge.
Exhausted from the day, she barely spoke a few words with Athena before falling asleep.
Aron couldn't contact Evie, so he called Athena instead.
Athena learned from the call that Aron had headed to where Evie had her business trip since he had no idea she had returned.
"She was worried about me, so she drove back here for me," Athena chuckled wryly. "She must have been exhausted. She dozed off as soon as she lay down."
"Oh, is that so? Okay, I'm glad she's with you," Aron replied, sighing with relief.
"Evie hasn't quite settled into the role of being your wife. Just give her some time to adjust," Athena advised.
"I understand," Aron replied. "By the way, how's Byron?"
"He's fine, he just had a headache for a bit, but he's already gone to sleep," Athena responded.
"That's good to hear. Athena, if you need help, just let me know, okay?" Aron offered.
"Don't worry, I won't hesitate to ask for your help," Athena assured him before ending the call.
Athena then let out a long sigh.
Lola had passed away.
She couldn't stop thinking about it and couldn't fall asleep.
In frustration, Athena headed out to the hospital room's small balcony and absentmindedly scrolled through her phone.
The post exposing Lola's actions had been swiftly reposted from the anonymous forum to Twitter and short video apps by marketing accounts.
As expected, the comments section was filled with netizens expressing their shock and disbelief.

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?...
