Chapter 20 You’re Cuckolded
Athena hung up the video.
Sitting on the sofa, she was dazed for a while.
In normal circumstances, Alivia lived in a nursing home for the
convenience of taking care of her.
Unless the Crawford family had serious business, Alivia
usually didn’t go to Crawford Manor.
When Byron took back his phone just now, Athena saw
Heather, who looked at him over here.
Therefore, he was not on a business trip but engaged today?
What did Byron do? Why did Alivia make a video call for
Athena in front of Heather?
Was he crazy?
Was he so scumbag that he didn’t think about the girl?
Athena stroked her belly.
“Your father is really a jerk!”
After she said so, she felt she shouldn’t speak III of him in front
of the baby.
Annoyed, Athena put the phone aside and returned to her
room to sleep.
Late at night, the phone on the couch buzzed.
Byron sent her WhatsApp messages.
[You don’t need to move. I will give the house to you.]
[The 20 million check, go and draw it as soon as possible.]
[And the villa in Lakin should be transferred ownership as soon as possible.]
Byron calmly sent these three messages.
But she did not reply.
He was on the balcony, smoking half a pack of cigarettes.
He wasn’t as angry as he thought.
He slowly looked through the chat records with Athena.
Before knowing that he was engaged, she sent him messages.
every day. Besides work, she also reminde
temperature, meals…
And his reply to her was little.
Early the following day, Athena got up and saw Byron’s
messages.
She sighed.
Then she replied: [Thank you, Mr. Crawford. You gave me much before, so I don’t need these.]
After replying, she took a taxi to the airport.
She caught an early flight and went to Salin City.
The news of her going was notified to the person in charge
yesterday.
Athena pushed the suitcase out.
And the other party had been waiting for a long time.
The name of the person in charge was Carlos Butler.
“Hello, Mr. Butler.” Athena greeted politely.
“Oh, Miss Newton, nice to meet you!” Carlos hurriedly asked
someone to take Athena’s suitcase. “Why are you alone?”
“Mr. Hale will come over soon. I’ll get to know the details first,” Athena said lightly. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Carlos smiled and said, “Okay! Then we will take care of your
today!”
Talking, the group of people was going out.
“Athena!”
At this time, someone shouted Athena excitedly.
This voice…
Athena turned her head.
She saw Gabe, who was full of energy, running towards her.
“Gabe?”
Athena was taken aback.
“Are you surprised?” Gabe asked with a smile.
“Yes!” Athena paused and asked, “Are you here for me?”
“Yes!” Gabe nodded. “I took a late flight came last night. I had
been here waiting for you before dawn!”
Athena was a little panicked.
Gabe bent slightly and approached Athena. “Take me to
dinner!”
Athena smiled. “You really go to a lot of trouble for a meal,
don’t you?”
“That depends on whose meal it is!” Gabe looked proud.
“Miss Newton, who is this?” Carlos asked.
“My friend.”
The situation here was unclear, and she didn’t want to expose Gabe’s identity.
“Boyfriend?” Carlos laughed, and the others also laughed.
“No.” Athena’s attitude was a little cold. “The situation is special, so don’t take care of me. I will go to
the company for a meeting at two o’clock in the afternoon.”
“How can we don’t take care of you?” Carlos looked puzzled.
The so-called taking care was just Carlos wanting to communicate with Athena in private before
dealing with the
matter.
“No hurry. Wait for Mr. Hale to come.”
Athena finally sent Carlos and the others away.
Athena didn’t stay at the hotel they booked.
She excused herself to stay in a hotel with Gabe.
From the moment they met, people like Carlos didn’t make a good impression on her.
It felt different from their first contact.
After those people left, Gabe looked at Athena. “These people don’t look like good people. Where did
they come from?”
“There is an infrastructure project of Imbe Group here. I am
in charge. They are the people in charge of the construction
site,” Athena said concisely, “I live in Rydal Hotel on Lone
Street. Where do you live?”
Gabe lived far away from the Rydal Hotel.
“I live there too!” Gabe said seriously.
“What a coincidence?” Athena was taken aback.

“Let’s go. Put your luggage quickly, and take me to a big
meal!”
Gabe accidentally touched Athena’s left hand, hidden in her
sleeve.
Athena gasped in pain.
Gabe was taken aback.
“What’s wrong?”
Athena pulled up her cuffs.
Gabe was so frightened that his face turned pale. He
subconsciously carefully held her left hand. “How did you do
it?”
“Nothing.” Athena didn’t like such contact and withdrew her
hand.
“I will be more careful!” Gabe promised with a severe face.
Athena was helpless.
Gabe pushed Athena’s box, protected her, and walked towards the parking lot.
Gabe cared about everything.
The car was prepared in advance.
But what the two of them didn’t expect was from the very
beginning, there were always people in the dark, frantically shooting at the two of them.
And he also found some tricky angles.
For example, it looked like they were kissing, hugging, and other ambiguous perspectives.
After one hour, these photos were in Ruby’s hands.
After a while, these photos were sent to Byron through an anonymous email.
The title was: [Byron, your woman is going on a romantic trip with another man in Salin City. You’re
cuckolded. Do you know that?]
When Byron received the email, he accompanied Lola and Heather to see the hotel where the
engagement banquet
would be held.
He clicked on the mail.
Carefully selected photos came to him.
Byron sat there, but his body seeme
He thought of the message Athena sent to him in the morning.
Byron couldn’t understand it.
For any ordinary person, one or two hundred million dollars
was a massive sum of money that cannot be earned in a
lifetime.
Why did she refuse?
She had accepted whatever he gave in the past!
Now the answer seemed to be clear.
Did Gabe promise her more?
“Byron, I think this place is good!” Lola took Heather’s hand
and turned to ask Byron.
Byron’s face was dark as if something serious had happened.
“What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the company?”
Lola asked.
Byron put away the locked phone. “It’s Okay”
“Are you all right?” Lola was a little worried.
Byron nodded.
Lola was dubious and planned to stay and taste the dishes.
Byron sat there for a long time without moving.
Suddenly, he stood up.
It startled Lola and Heather.
“Mom, Miss Ross, I have something to go on a business trip.
You can make decisions about these things. I don’t have any
opinions!”
After speaking, Byron didn’t even give them a chance to
answer.
He grabbed the car keys and almost ran away.
