Chapter 269 The Funeral

"Remove these reports and trending searches! Let the public relations department do it quickly!" Seeing such news, Byron was furious. "She just disappeared, not died! Not died!" "Byron, enough! Stop being crazy."

Gideon came in from the outside with an unshaven beard and messy hair.

Byron glanced at him coldly. "What are you doing here?"

"Many media called the public relation department to ask about Athena." Gideon was gloomy. "Tell me when you release the obituary?"

Byron rushed over, grabbed Gideon, and hit the wall directly. "She's not dead. Why should I post the obituary?"

"Don't you know if she is dead or not? You have confirmed many times that she has indeed boarded the plane. How could she survive while the plane had a crush? Tell me, how could she survive?" Gideon raised his hand and punched Byron's face.

He punched the face hard.

With one punch, Byron took two steps back.

In the past few days, Byron looked for Athena everywhere. He did not eat, drink or sleep. Everyone could see he was too thin.

"Why did you return to Girard City that day?" Gideon pointed to Byron and asked him.

Byron froze all over.

"If you stayed in Forganto City and didn't come back suddenly, she might not get on the plane that afternoon," Gideon said word by word.

These words made Byron recall his memory.

As he left that day, Athena was cold and indifferent.

Recalling this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart again.

"I'm here today to tell you that Athena's friends are planning to hold a funeral for her. Please do me a favor and let her go away in harmony. Don't make trouble!" Gideon tied up the messy shirt grabbed by Byron. Then, he turned around and strode away.

Outside the window, it snowed profusely.

Gideon looked up at the sky.

Like Byron, Gideon didn't think that Athena was dead.

He always felt she had completed the task of escaping from Byron. She was in the corner of the world, waiting to restart her life with the babies after giving birth.

He had this thought because her body was not found.

Athena was buried in Colwi Cemetery in Greeli City with some clothes.

George, who had been freed, erected a tombstone for her as her brother.

It rained and snowed in Colwi Cemetery that day.

George knelt in front of the tombstone, weeping loudly regardless of others.

Some old neighbors, watching from afar, wiped away their tears.

As the administrator, Willie almost cried to death in the management room.

Evie came there in a hurry.

Evie blamed herself for Athena's death.

If it weren't because she would be discharged from the hospital, Athena wouldn't have decided to come back at that moment.

Deep in self-blame, Evie finally chose to give up life at domestic under the comfort of her mother. She planned to emigrate and was prepared for it. She also went to see Byron.

She feared he would retaliate and vent his anger on her mother and adoptive father.

However, Byron didn't say anything.

A long time later, Evie found out that Byron was just like her at that time.

He blamed himself for Athena's accident.

He wouldn't have let Athena leave if he hadn't gone that morning. Then Evie would have flown over to accompany Athena in the end.

It was all his fault.

He disappointed Athena all the time.

It was getting dark.

George's knees were already numb from the cold.

With the help of his friends, George got up. But he always looked at the tombstone, Athena's smiling face.

He chose a photo of Athena at seventeen years old.

Romy was still alive at that time, and the business was sound. Athena was happy every day.

She had nothing to do with the person who imprisoned her and tortured her.
