Athena lowered her eyes and said softly, "Thank you."
"Alright, I know you must be busy now, so I won't bother you."
"Okay, I'll invite you to dinner after I finish this."
"Then I'll be waiting."
The phone hung up, and Athena completely lost her sleepiness.
She went to the bathroom and washed her face. Her complexion had been very poor lately, and her lips had lost their color.
She touched up her makeup appropriately and left the lounge.
As she was leaving, she almost ran into Dorian, who was coming in.
"Mrs. Crawford, Robert's parents are still waiting for you." Dorian was annoyed by this couple.
They kept calling all day long, not believing that Athena was busy.
"Then let's meet at the funeral parlor after work," Athena replied coldly.
"Yes!" Dorian responded and quickly retreated.
Scarlett made a cup of coffee for Athena, saying, "Chelsea, it seems like there's nothing much going on here. Why don't you go and do something else first, so you can rest early after you're done."
Scarlett wanted to say that Athena looked terrible.
She was worried about her health.
"After finishing these tasks." Athena looked up at her with a reassuring expression. "Don't worry, I'm fine physically. It's just that I haven't been sleeping well recently, so I look a bit tired."
"Okay." Scarlett nodded.
Then she assisted Athena in reviewing contracts and documents.
Athena finished her day at Imbe Group at 6 p.m. and went straight to the funeral parlor.
On the way, the festive atmosphere of Christmas had not yet dissipated, with streets and alleys decorated with lights and ornaments.
The couple at the front looked elegant and noble, although their faces were a bit pale.
"Mrs. Crawford, we deeply regret what has happened!" When Debra saw Athena, she immediately showed a face full of regret and sadness and opened her arms to hug Athena.
Dorian stepped forward and stopped her.
"What are you doing?" Adrian frowned. He knew Dorian was the bodyguard who had been giving them a hard time by delaying Athena's meeting with them. So they couldn't take Robert's body away, keeping him in the morgue for so long.
It prevented his soul from resting!
"People in our country are reserved. We don't have the habit of hugging each other for no reason like you do." Dorian paused for a moment. "Besides, your son has killed numerous people. Who knows if this tendency runs in your family or if both of you inherited the inclination for murder? If you harm Mrs. Crawford, what then?"
"You're so rude!" The couple got angry.
However, they didn't burst out in front of Athena.
"Mrs. Crawford, you have attended dinners at our house before, and you should know what kind of people we are. We can be considered friends. Your bodyguard has gone too far and is humiliating us!" Debra raised her voice.

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?...
