My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup novel Chapter 649

With such a major event unfolding, the person in charge of the PR department wasted no time reaching out to Byron.

Byron had just fallen asleep when he was abruptly awakened. He answered the call with a deep voice, causing the person on the other end to speak tremblingly, "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Bates is in trouble..."

Byron's expression turned serious as he listened.

He pondered, "Isn't Freya still being kept in Lauries Mansion? What trouble could she possibly get into?"

Byron asked irritably, "Is it her project?"

The person on the line replied nervously, "I've sent you the details on WhatsApp. Please take a look."

Annoyed, Byron disconnected the call.

He then checked the WhatsApp message from the head of the PR department and was surprised to find that it included a video.

Byron's brow furrowed even more profoundly as he had a strong sense of unease.

Upon viewing the video and watching it until the end, his facial expression darkened with each passing moment.

Byron then typed a message, asking: [Where did you get the video?]

The other person instantly replied: [It was posted on an anonymous forum, and we are currently investigating the identity of the person who shared it.]

Immediately, another message followed: [Now, Ms. Bates' name is trending. The ones who had previous disputes with her in collaborations are still exposing her, and surprisingly, many netizens allege that Ms. Bates was involved in her mother's death, her brother's disappearance, and even the car accident you had with Ms. Stella. The public relations department is getting flooded with calls from the media. Mr. Crawford, should we issue a response?]

Byron gripped his phone tightly, causing his knuckles to turn an unusual pale from the pressure.

He then mused, "So, being forced into marriage was just a lie she used to deceive me..."

Back then, his guilt toward Freya caused him to turn down Athena and be with Freya instead repeatedly.

If... If Byron hadn't been burdened by guilt, he wouldn't have chosen to be with Freya. Athena might have already told him about the pregnancy before Heather forged those fake test results.

Then, all the later complications, five years of separation, and the awkward position Byron and Athena found themselves in wouldn't have occurred!
