Before Martin could finish speaking, Byron rushed in.
Even though it was cold outside, there was so much blood that Byron immediately smelled the nauseating stench as he entered.
He stared stiffly at the figure that looked so much like Athena that he almost sat in shock.
"Mr. Crawford!" Martin was frantic.
Then Byron said, "It's not her..."
Martin paused, quickly had the female corpse put down, and pulled back the hair covering her face. He, too, sighed in relief.
Although her face was severely damaged, a prosthetic showed at her nose. Athena hadn't had any plastic surgery, so she wouldn't have had a prosthetic.
However, ...
This face looked familiar.
"Isn't this Miss Holland?" someone shouted.
Martin suddenly remembered.
Wasn't this the face of the new stand-in who had been brought by Byron and Athena when they were angry at each other?
"Playing games with me, huh!" Byron was furious. "Keep searching!"
The group was about to leave.
"What was that sound?" Martin noticed something.
Soon, several plumes of white smoke sprayed out from the corners of the room.
"Watch out, Mr. Crawford! Cover your nose and mouth!" Martin lunged at Byron.
But under the high concentration of chemicals, nobody could withstand it.
Martin tried to protect Byron and get out quickly. But when they reached the front door, it wouldn't open.
"Don't bother looking. You can't escape." Robert glanced outside through the floor-to-ceiling window. "The sunset is beautiful today. Heather loves beautiful sunsets. At this wonderful moment, I'll send you to her side. She'll be thrilled."
Byron looked at Robert with disgust. "You love her so much, yet you're sending another man to her side. How noble of you."
"The one she loves, after all, is you. What can I do?" Robert wasn't angered by Byron's mockery. "Don't worry. Your wife will be fine. My people will safely take her back after you and your children are dead."
"Robert! How dare you touch my children! Even if I died as a ghost, I will tear Heather apart and not let her rest in peace!"
Byron probably knew that he was going to die.
So he didn't threaten to do anything to Robert. Instead, he directly threatened a ghost against a ghost.
Robert's calm face changed rapidly.
"Byron, why do you have to be so cruel to her? She is the one in this world who loves you the most!" Robert shouted passionately, "Your wife was your stand-in because of money. When she knew she had no chance of rising to the top, she immediately chose to abandon you and hooked up with Gabe of Chambers Jewelry. Later, regardless of your despair and sadness, she faked her death and ran away. Heather would never let you suffer like this. Heather would die with you together. But your wife definitely wouldn't! She would choose a life that benefits her more!"

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?...
