My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Spreading Bad Rumors

Liam was watching.

Athena's voice came from behind.

Liam was so frightened that his lunch box almost rolled to the ground.

He hid the phone behind his back.

"Miss Newton, why didn't you have dinner with Mr. Crawford?"

"He's answering the phone," Athena said lightly, "He asked me to step aside."

There were big beads of cold sweat on Liam's forehead.

The call that Athena avoided...

Byron probably already knew about it.

"What's with your expression?" Athena looked at Liam and smiled.

Liam gritted his teeth.

Athena would know about this incident sooner or later.

If she had known it earlier, she would be mentally prepared.

"You take a look." Liam handed his mobile phone to Athena.

Athena looked at it, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"It must be that Miss Ross had a grudge against you and deliberately bought these trending topics overseas to tarnish your reputation!" Liam quickly said, "But there are still people who know you and have been speaking up for you!"

Athena also saw it.

Under the entries related to her name, they seemed pretty normal. However, when opening the comment section, it could only be described as unbearable and unsightly. Finally.

After Byron got engaged, the thing she was most afraid of still happened.

The situation was indeed intense and overwhelming.

"Tell Mr. Crawford that I'm tired and going back to rest."

Athena didn't look at it for long and returned the phone to Liam.

"Miss Newton..." Liam stood up. His face was full of worry.

Athena looked at him and smiled bleakly. "Stay with Byron. I know there will be such a day sooner or later."

But...

She could have avoided it.

She had already left, distancing herself from this messy situation.

It was Byron who refused to let her go!

Why, in the end, she still had to bear the consequences of all these?

When Athena left, she also met people from the project partner.

Quite unfortunate.

The three men came out to smoke.

They received calls from family members, which were filled with gossip and curiosity.

"Do you think Athena is considered a third party in this situation?" One of them asked.

"Why doesn't it count? If I remember correctly, she was by Byron's side as his secretary without any official status or legitimate relationship."

"Speaking of legitimacy, how many people have actually witnessed any intimate gestures between Mr. Crawford and her? My wife just sent me those online revelations from foreign sources. Apart from the recent ones, the earlier ones don't qualify as intimate. I don't know how it happened, but suddenly she has taken the position..."

"Aren't there women in my secretary's office? My wife called me just now and asked me to replace them all. If I don't replace them, she will divorce me and make me leave the house."

"It's true, Mr. Crawford doesn't look like someone who a woman will easily sway. This time, he really fell into Miss Newton's trap... Instead of marrying a wealthy heiress worth billions, he chose to marry a secretary who doesn't even offer any significant support. I wonder what he is thinking about."

Athena took a deep breath.

They stood in the path where she had to take when she left.

She walked out without changing her face color.

"If you guys are so confused, why don't you ask her in person?" When Athena's voice sounded, the three of them were so frightened that their cigarette ashes fell on the back of their hands. Grinning hotly.

Athena dropped that sentence and didn't intend to listen to their hurried and nonsense explanations.

She left straight away.

"This is terrible!" Their faces were terrible.

"It's all because of your mouth! How can you talk about people behind their backs!"

"Don't tell me that she will go and complain to Mr. Crawford..."

The three of them were anxious.
