My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 2074 The Safe

"It's still about Alivia's inheritance, isn't it? She left all her collection to you, and you never finalized the paperwork." Gerry said with a hint of frustration, "Lately, my health has been deteriorating. I'd be ashamed to face her in the afterlife if this isn't settled. She'd surely scold me. So, here I am, coming to you with this."

Byron and Athena had discussed this matter before.

At that time, the two were still at odds with each other.

Athena hadn't even considered taking over the collection.

"I'm sorry, Byron and I forgot about this."

"It's alright. When can you come with me to change the access rights to the storage?" Gerry asked. Athena glanced at the clock. "Why wait? Are you available today?"

Gerry was eager to settle the matter.

"Absolutely," he agreed immediately.

Athena hung up the phone.

Liam was still around. Athena turned to him, asking, "Do you have anything else to take care of?"

"No, I'll come with you," Liam replied.

"Alright." Athena nodded in agreement.

Alivia had amassed a vast collection, so much so that she rented an entire floor in the basement of Central Bank for storage.

Paying the annual rent was quite an expense.

Upon arriving at the Central Bank, Athena spotted Gerry with his signature silver hair and his apprentice beside him.

"It's been a while," she greeted, approaching him for a handshake.

Indeed, it had been a very long time.

The last time Athena saw Gerry was before Alivia's final days of confusion.

Almost a decade had passed since then.

"Athena, you haven't aged a day in ten years." Gerry remarked with a chuckle, "Or should I say, Mrs. Crawford now? I remember when Alivia first met you, she was certain that Byron wouldn't ever leave your side."

Athena lowered her eyes, a bit embarrassed by the praise.

Sensing her discomfort at the topic, Gerry quickly shifted to business, presenting a pile of documents.

After taking a seat, Athena meticulously reviewed each paper.

As a VIP client of the Central Bank, a lavish lunch was served.

But Athena hardly touched her food.

After ensuring all documents were in order, she signed where necessary and handed them to the bank staff. The group, accompanied by security, made their way to the basement level. After several layers of security checks, they finally reached the vault.

Next was the task of verifying the jewelry mentioned in the will.

After a lot of effort, everything was confirmed.

A lawyer handed over the will, and Central Bank staff collected Athena's fingerprints and iris scan for updated access.

By the end of all this, Gerry looked utterly drained.

"I've finally fulfilled my last duty," Gerry mumbled, his hand, which clutched a cane, shaking slightly. "I won't be scolded in the afterlife now."

Athena supported him as they walked out.

"She always trusted and valued you," she comforted. "She would never scold you."

Gerry trudged along slowly.

"You're a good person." He began. "Alivia said you were strong-willed. If only Ms. Panter had half of your determination back then..." He paused abruptly as if he had misspoken.

"Xaviera?" Athena questioned.

Gerry looked at her in surprise.

Athena said calmly, "I know everything about Xaviera, Larry, and the rest..."

They exchanged a knowing look, understanding each other without words.
