Chapter 160 I Hope You Were My Granddaughter

"Evie got a new project. Did you give it to her?" Athena asked straight to the point, with a hint of aggression in her tone.

Byron asked, "I gave her the project, and now you're mad at me for that?"

"Byron, what do you want to do? I've been with you. Can't you stay away from George and Evie?" Athena asked in a low voice.

Athena had witnessed too many of Byron's tricks.

Because he spent lavishly at the beginning, many of the girls ended up falling into his trap.

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Byron asked with a harsh tone.

Athena didn't answer.

Byron said, "All I want is to make you happy by doing some good thing to your friends. Believe me. I don't need to play tricks to deal with them." Athena was slightly taken aback.

She had thought about many reasons why Byron would do this.

But making her happy was not one of them.

"I understand..." Athena's fiery demeanor slowly disappeared.

Byron still seemed a little upset. Athena listened to his breathing and wondered if she should hang up the phone.

"Madam Stella's friend passed away," Athena said softly, "She's quite sad, and she even fainted."

"Okay," Byron responded.

"I won't be returning to the downtown tonight, and I'm thinking of taking a day off tomorrow to help Madam Stella take care of things here," Athena continued. "Athena, you've misunderstood me. Don't you think you owe me an apology?" Byron suddenly asked with a stiff tone.

Athena hesitated.

She was concerned about the potential impact on Evie.

Athena was concerned that Byron's anger towards her could potentially result in trouble for Evie.

"I'm sorry." Athena paused for a moment and added, "I shouldn't have thought so poorly of you." Byron sneered.

"Make sure you are back by dinner time tomorrow evening."

"Okay..."

Hanging up the phone, Athena rubbed her slightly throbbing head.

The relationship between her and Byron was becoming increasingly strange.

After calming down, she sent a WhatsApp message to Evie.

[Don't bother checking the contract. It's fine. Just focus on doing this project well.]

Evie asked: [Is it really him?]

Athena replied: [Yes, it's him.]

Evie sent a long string of ellipses.

Then she asked: [So what's the situation now? Is he trying to please you, so he gave the project to me?]

Athena didn't know how to explain.

Evie added: [Actually, he's quite handsome and wealthy. If it wasn't for... Who knows, he might be a perfect match for you.]

Athena gazed into the distance through the window.

A somber atmosphere enveloped the sky.

There are not so many "ifs" in life.

Some connections are destined to be doomed.

Athena chatted with Evie for a while.

Jaxson came over and informed her that Rose had woken up.

Hearing that, Athena hurried over to the ward.

Even with the medication, Rose's previously spirited demeanor had waned, and the telltale signs of exhaustion were clearly visible.

"I thought you had gone back."

Rose reached out her hand to Athena.

Athena inexplicably thought of Herman's withered hand reaching out to her.

Athena went forward and held Rose's hand.

Rose's hand was very cold.

Athena instinctively held it tighter.

Rose smiled when she noticed this and said, "If I had a granddaughter as nice as you, I would consider myself the luckiest grandma in the world." Rose supposed she wasn't fortunate enough.

Every child she had was a son, and her sons, in turn, only had sons.

Athena smiled and tried to make Rose happy. Proudly, she replied, "What a coincidence! My grandmother used to say the same thing!"

Rose laughed.

"I will be cautious in showering you with praise in the future, for you will grow increasingly proud!"
