Howe, right way, Regins theight of things in the ear the rivy that had been formed in stig verk, the frank’s call for payment the lowest of the injured were the rang of parmers, and on an the still pretended th said “Athens with your net worth 20 million dollars waning
“When we went to vish Mem we could get
you righ
why saying things as you in Later, you said that 24
long as we could make Mom happy we get 3000 dollars minure by aying what we wanted
“In comparison, Mom’s funeral is such an important maner Cheie family will go and we fume is spend the night sheer, We’ll be boy for a few days 200 million dollars in 1 tay much for yon right?”
Because 200 million dollars was net rugh for them to pay off their loans, Regina wanted more
However, she was afraideat if she asked for too much, Athena would really hit her
There was to emotion in Athena’s voice. “She’s dead, and she won’t know anything. It doesn’t matter if you guys come or not. Grandma won’t feel anything anymore.
If
won’t give you a single cent
you dare to cause trouble in Grandma’s mourning hall, I’ll bad a mourning hall for you.”
With that, she hung up.
Isaac and Andrew were dumbfounded
Andrew shouted. “Is Athena really going to prevent us from going to Grandma’s funeral? We’re her son and grandson. If we don’t show up at her funeral won’t Grandma blame Athena in heaven?”
Isaac frowned. “The money was negotiable. We could even lower the price a little. Why did she hang up the phone She doesn’t let us go to Mom’s funeral. Mom’s dead and she’s just turturing her!”
“Don’t worry, she’s deliberately putting pressure on us.” Regina said firmly. “She has deep feelings for Mom. Moreover, we’re Mom’s biological family. If we don’t go, she’ll be letting Mom down. Well just wait until she surrenders to ins”
Honey, what if she just won’t give in?” Isaac probed “Don’t you think that Athena has changed since she revealed her identity as Vission Groups boss? She used to be like a student, but now she’s like a big boss. I get a little scared when I see her..
“What’s there to be afraid of? Actually, Regina was also afraid. After all, it was a piece of cake for Athena ta crush tham Currently. However, for the sake of money. Regna still had to rest “200 million dollars mean nothing to her. She demtutely
n’t stop you, as Mom’s grandson and son, from attending Mom’s funeral for such a small amngunt of money,”
Isaac thought of the 200 million dollars and bravely overcame his uneasiness. “Alright, we’ll wait for her to accept our conditions.”
They waited from morning to noon, to after noon, and to when the sky turned dark
It was late at night.
After a long day. Gia came back and saw the three of them sitting on the sofa, looking at their phones absent–mindedly. All of them had anxious expressions on their faces. She could not help but be curious. It’s almost unlight. Why arent you. aderp

Chapter 497
“We’re waiting for Athena’s call. Isaac sighed. “The thing is, your grandmother passed away last night….
After listening to his story, Gia could not believe that Isaac, Andrew, and Regina were so stupid.
She threw her bag on the sofa and scolded them. “You’re so stupid. No wonder you lost over 2 billion dollars in just a few years!
“What’s Athena’s status now? You actually want to threaten her?
“Grandma’s death was originally a good opportunity for you to improve your relationship with her. You should’ve rushed over immediately and settled the funeral properly. You should’ve cried hard and spent more money, which would at least leave a good impression on her.
“This way, even if your relationship with her didn’t improve, you wouldn’t offend her, right?
“Unexpectedly, with what you just did, you guys completely offended her!”
Gia slammed the table in frustration and shouted so loudly that the ceiling seemed to tremble. “She must have been very sad after Grandina passed away. Why do you have to act like you have no feelings for Grandma at this time? You even want Athena to give you 200 million dollars. How can she not hate you? Don’t you know she probably wants to kill you just because of this?”
These words overwhelmed Isaac and the other two.
The three of them were stunned. They finally understood, but it was too late.
Athena cared so much about Ruby, who was now dead, and Athena was in pain. Yet, they were blackmailing Athena at her most painful moment. It got them in great trouble.
For a moment, the three of them turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. They regretted it so much.
“Gi–Gia…” Isaac’s teeth were chattering. “Athena won’t do this to us, right? No matter what, we are still my mother’s closest relatives. Athena can’t really really hate us for her grandmother’s sake, right…”
“What do you guys think?” Gia sneered. “Grandma is already dead. She doesn’t know anything. Why would Athena care about you guys?
“I think she hasn’t taken the initiative to make things difficult for you in the past few years because of Grandma.
“If you don’t believe me, you can try to contact her and see if shell answer your calls.
After saying that, Gia picked up her bag from the sofa. “I’m going to bed. If I stay with you for another second, my intelligence will plummet.”
In the huge living room, Isaac and the other two looked at each other speechlessly at a loss for what to do.
After a long while, Regina said in a trembling voice. “Isaac, call Athena now and ask where Mom’s mourning hall is. Well go
over now…
Isaac trembled and his face was covered in sweat. “I–I don’t dare to call her. I–I think you should call her…
Regina was about to cry. “You’re your mother’s biological son. 1–offended Athena just now. If I call her now, she–she won’t
answer…
Andrew watched anxiously from the side. “Enough. I’ll use Dad’s phone to call her.”
He grabbed Isaac’s phone and dialed Athena’s number.
No matter how many times he called, Athena just wouldn’t pick up

Chapter 497
Andrew felt like crying too-“Athena has blocked our numbers…
Isaac grabbed his phone. “I–I’ll call the caregiver and ask where my mother is now…”
-G
The caregiver told him. “Miss Donovan has already completed the discharge procedures in the morning and left the hospital with Mrs. Ruby Kennedy. As for where she went, we dont know.”
Isaac and the other two tried to find the phone numbers of the Donovan family members and called them one by one
No one answered.
The Donovan family didn’t reply to Isaac’s messages.
Now, Isaac and the other two realized that Athena really did not care if they attended Ruby’s funeral.
In other words, not only did they not get a single cent of the 200 million dollars, but they also completely offended Athena.
It was already dawn.
Isaac and the other two were extremely sleepy, but they were not in the mood to sleep.
Andrew said, “Why don’t we go straight to the Donovan family’s place?”
Isaac smiled bitterly. “I heard that the Donovan family has already moved out of their original residence. I don’t know where their new residence is. If you can find out, we’ll go over immediately.”
Regina and Andrew were silent.
