Chapter 118 Make Good Use

"What?" Jones was shocked, then quickly tried to calm Heather. "There are billions of dollars assets involved here. Did he just say that? A secretary isn't worth that much money!"

"Yes. He just said that..."

Heather murmured, lowering her eyelids.

"We have really underestimated Miss Newton!" Jones continued, "Today, she completely suppressed Lola, and Madam Crawford seems to like her too. She also holds a 21% stake in the Crawford family." "Without all that, do you think Athena would treat her well?" Heather sneered.

Why couldn't Byron see through all this?

Athena was only after money. She did not love him at all!

The one who loved him the most in this world was Heather!

"Athena has to be gone."

Heather slowly regained her composure.

She looked at Jones and said firmly, "Regardless of whether what Byron said is true, now that he has warned me, I feel like I can't let my guard down!"

"Got it. I'll make arrangements!" Jones nodded.

Heather let out a long sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, I saw Rose not long ago." Heather changed the subject.

"The one involved in the oil business?" Jones exclaimed.

"Yes." Heather nodded. "I heard from my grandmother that she is dissatisfied with her descendants' abilities and secretly looking for a successor."

"The Stella family's bunch of idiots who drink, gamble, and party all day long are indeed useless!" Jones said with disdain, "Especially her eldest son..."

"Rose not only has oil resources but also diamond and gemstone mines. Her shipping, military industry, and real estate businesses are all thriving," Heather said ambitiously. "Miss Ross, are you suggesting..."

"With such a useful character, we must use her well."

Since she learned about this, she had been trying to get closer to Rose.

But Rose had been behind the scenes for the past twenty years, rarely appearing in public.

Unexpectedly, Rose suddenly appeared in Mailand.

"With the help of the Stella family, Byron can be firmly bound to me," Heather said.

Jones lowered her eyelids.

She had always known that Heather had liked Byron since they were children.

Now, it had almost become an obsession.

Inside the car.

Athena pulled up the collar of her coat, covering most of her face, leaving only her eyes visible.

"Still angry?" Byron asked.

"I'm furious," Athena replied coldly.

"Athena, she's still my mother..." Byron said in a deep voice.

Athena let out a sigh.

"Did I say anything wrong?"

Byron glanced at her but ultimately avoided that topic. "What do you want to eat?"

Athena's irritability subsided slightly when food was mentioned.

What to eat?

She subconsciously stroked her belly.

"What about hot food?" She murmured.

Seeing her reaction, Byron instinctively curled his lips.

At that moment, Athena's phone rang.

Since the phone was connected to Bluetooth, Byron could see immediately that the caller was Gabe.

Athena glanced at it, her expression not changed, and she hung up directly.

"Not answering?" Byron asked with his tone already somewhat sarcastic.

"It's not the first time he called. I always hang up on him," Athena lied, still appearing honest.

Byron had some doubts, but he was visibly clearly a little happier.
