Chapter 573 Traitors

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Byron asked as he walked over and gently caressed Athena's cheek. "Thinking about Lola?"

Athena moved slightly to the side and gestured for Byron to sit beside her.

Byron obediently sat down and casually put his arm around Athena's shoulder. Athena was shocked and hesitated momentarily but then leaned her head against Byron's chest.

They then quietly gazed at the dimly lit night view of the city from the small balcony.

"There's a post going around online," Athena spoke calmly, "Claiming to expose the truth about your relationship with Lola and revealing everything Lola had done to take over the Crawford Group from you." Athena lifted her head, looked at Byron, and continued, "It also includes the truth behind your car accident."

Byron instantly frowned upon hearing her.

Seeing his expression, Athena raised her hand and gently pushed his tightly furrowed brows apart, saying, "To tell you the truth, I've known about this for a while. Do you remember that day when you discovered your men had secretly kept evidence of the car accident truth? You were furious that day. You were so worked up that I couldn't sleep well, and I happened to overhear most of it." Byron paused for a moment and then finally smiled. He bent down and kissed Athena on the forehead. "That must have been about half a year after you were with me, right?" "Yeah." Athena nodded.

"At that time, I was still figuring things out and lacked experience. I went a bit overboard and made you uncomfortable. I apologize," Byron said earnestly.

Athena was speechless. She rolled her eyes and lightly pinched Byron's palm, saying, "I wasn't talking about that. Can you be serious, please, Byron?"

Byron's shoulders shook with laughter.

Athena clicked her tongue and snuggled back into his shoulder. "Besides, it's not like you were only ruthless initially. Even later on, you didn't exactly become a saint either. Thanks to you, Mr. Crawford, I've saved tons of money on my gym membership."

"Mrs. Crawford, we're even," Byron whispered with a smile, gently teasing Athena.

Athena was at a loss for words but acknowledged her undeniable connection with Byron.

It was a compatibility that didn't require her to explore other men. Her body and soul had already given their answer.

They sat together, cuddling for a while longer.

Athena played with Byron's fingers as she resumed the previous conversation. "Byron, what I want to say is... if you feel like you owe Lola something, it was already repaid through all those times she hurt you, and you protected her."

Byron then looked down, meeting Athena's gaze.

Athena turned to him and continued, "Don't be too hard on yourself. Let's bring her body back, organize a proper funeral, find the person responsible for her death, get the justice she deserves, and finally put this matter to rest, alright?"

Over the years of being with Byron, Athena had witnessed countless times when he dealt with traitors and people who wanted to harm him.

Byron always acted decisively and ruthlessly, even if they were people Alivia had left for him. he didn't hesitate to take action.

Although Byron had marginalized Lola's influence within the Crawford Group, he had always maintained the dignity she deserved.

It wasn't just about preserving his reputation as a dutiful son. Byron genuinely couldn't bear to sever ties with his mother.

"Okay," Byron replied, his eyes reddened slightly and his voice somewhat tense.

Athena comforted him by gently caressing his cheek and snuggling closer in his arms.

Due to the difficult conditions during the flood season, it took three days before they retrieved her body.
