Robert watched them.
He was confused. He wondered why Athena came there. She didn't love Byron.
Why was she not afraid when he pointed at her with a gun?
"Ms. Stella, I don't intend to hurt you. You can live if you leave now," Robert said in a deep voice, "Byron's death will be beneficial to you. You are husband and wife. If he died, Imbe Group, Crawford Group, and all the properties under his name would belong to you."
Athena confirmed that Byron was not injured.
What she had to do was to delay until the rescuers came. She couldn't unlock these ties by herself.
Before that, she had to appease Robert.
Or... She could get him under control!
"I need a will." Athena turned to look at Robert. "Do you know how many people are in the Crawford family? If there is no will for those relatives, they all can share Byron's property. It's troublesome for me."
Robert was taken aback.
"Didn't you come here to save him?" Robert asked.
Athena held Byron's hand tightly from an angle that Robert couldn't see.
Then, she let go of him and stood up to look at Robert.
"Robert, why are you surprised? Haven't you investigated? Don't you know what has happened between me and Byron? He has always trampled and forced me. If it weren't for my childhood sweetheart, my children, Imbe Group, and the property of the Crawford family, I would not marry him. Now, I can finally get rid of the control freak. I will no longer worry about my beloved ones being hurt by him and can get the property. Why don't I do it?"
Hearing that, Robert looked at Byron, who was pale.
"Did you hear that?" Robert asked, "I told you just now that she didn't love you."
