My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 299

Chapter 299 Nightmare

Downtown.

A flower shop was still lit a dim light in the drizzle.

The chubby shopkeeper leaned on the counter in boredom as if waiting for someone.

She checked the time.

"It's almost eleven o'clock. Will that customer still come?" she thought.

When the shopkeeper was thinking about closing the door, the wind chime at the door rang.

The shopkeeper straightened up immediately.

A tall man in a wet black suit walked in from the door.

"Mr. Crawford, I thought you weren't coming!" The shopkeeper greeted Byron with a smile.

"I went on a business trip and came back late," Byron said tonelessly, "Where are the flowers?"

"I've kept them for you!" The shopkeeper immediately took out the flowers and said, "I suggest you let me send them upstairs regularly. It will be more convenient." "No, thanks."

Byron refused as usual and then left.

After Byron left, the shopkeeper realized Byron didn't have an umbrella.

And when the shopkeeper was hesitating whether to send Byron an umbrella, her husband came out from behind, yawning. "Did the customer take the flowers away?"

"Yeah. Mr. Crawford is such a nice man. He buys flowers for his wife every week." The shopkeeper looked envious. She then looked at her husband. The underpants he was wearing were askew, and the flip- flops bought two months ago were about to wear out again.

The shopkeeper's face darkened immediately.

She couldn't understand why her husband couldn't be as thoughtful as Byron.

After Byron returned to the apartment and opened the door, the room was still black.

He stood at the door with the flowers in his arms as if waiting for someone to run towards him with a smile from somewhere.

However...

As always, what awaited him was just endless silence and darkness.

"Snap."

Byron turned on the light.

It had been over ten years since Athena moved into this apartment.

Everything here was covered with traces of time.

Byron took off his coat, took out the flowers in the vase that were not so fresh, and followed Athena's way to clean the vase carefully. And then he put the newly bought flowers in the case again.

After finishing these, it was almost midnight.

Byron took a shower. When he went to the cloakroom to get some clothes, his gaze stayed on the lady's clothes for a while.

In five years, Athena's breath in this apartment gradually disappeared.

After changing into pajamas, Byron didn't rest in the bedroom. He just lay down on the sofa with his quilt.

Turning on the TV, Byron tuned to a casual channel and turned off the sound.

Afterward, Byron opened the drawer, took out a medicine bottle, and took some pills.

And then he fell asleep.

It was a nightmare-ridden night again.

At 7:30 the following day, Byron changed into his suit, tied his tie, went to the garage, and drove to work.

It was the beginning of the month, so Imbe Group had a regular morning meeting.

When Byron arrived at the meeting room, everyone was already there.

Freya looked at Byron with a smile.

Byron was still expressionless. He walked to his seat and sat down.

"Let's start."

The main content of this morning's meeting was still the Crawford Group's merger and acquisition case.

Some directors of Imbe Group opposed the acquisition of Crawford Group.

But in the past few years, Byron was like a tyrant. There were only two ways for the board of directors to take when he wanted to do something.

They could readily agree.

Or they would be violently suppressed by Byron, and then they would be forced to agree.

Therefore, no one dared to raise objections at the meeting.

When Byron was about to adjourn the meeting after the work report on the Crawford Group's M&A case was over, someone suddenly said, "Mr. Crawford, we want to hear Ms. Bates's ideas about how she is planning to compete with Chelsea Investment Company for Bloor Food Industry Company!"
