Chapter 59 Double Blow
Byron froze for a moment.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
He slammed the table hard.
Liam shuddered, and then he was sure that Byron really had
no idea about this.
But Byron and Athena were so close!
How could he have no idea about this?
How could it be possible that he didn’t know about Athena’s grandmother’s death?
Liam still remembered that Athena had lost a lot of weight
back then…
“Oh, right. I remembered. When her grandmother passed away, you were still in Europe.”
Byron couldn’t believe this was real.
“Liam Carson, I’m not in the mood to joke with you!”
“I wish I could. But Miss Newton asked me for leave in person, saying that she would hold the funeral of her grandmother…”
“Impossible!”
Byron stood up and shouted sharply.
But then, he suddenly remembered the photos that Athena
had posted on her Instagram at the end of April, which he had seen the night before yesterday.
Those photos were all greyish, with a hint of unconcealable sadness.
“Call Athena!” Byron said in a deep voice.
Liam nodded and quickly took out his phone.
He made the call, but the cold notification sounded again.
Athena’s phone was switched off again.
“She turned off her phone.” Liam looked at Byron in fear.
“Check her whereabouts immediately. I want to know where she is as soon as possible.” Byron’s voice was so cold that it could almost freeze the air around him.
“Yes, sir!”
Liam turned around and went out.
Byron stood where he was, unable to calm down his
breathing.
In the end, he kicked the shelf hard and knocked it over.
The employees outside heard the commotion inside and all
fell silent.
After a while,
somebody came upstairs through the president’s special
elevator.
Then, Gideon came out of the elevator in a hurry.
“Mr. Hale, why are you back?”
“Is Byron in the office?” Gideon asked.
“Yes, but sir…”
Before the secretary could finish speaking,
Gideon went straight to the Office of the President.
As soon as he pushed open the door,
he saw the mess inside.
It wasn’t hard to tell that Byron had lost his temper.
At this moment, Byron was on the phone.
However, Athena’s phone was still switched off.
“Why are you here?” Byron glanced at Gideon.
“Where’s Athena?” Gideon asked.
Athena again!

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?...
