Chapter 21 Her True Colors!
Lola was at a loss.
She still had a smile.
Heather, holding a booklet, just wanted to show it to Byron.
But she didn’t expect…
“Men… Men always prioritize their work!” Lola came back to her senses first and said to Heather kindly,
trying her best to suppress her anger.
Lola knew her son well.
When it came to work, even in the face of a serious crisis, he
would not react in that way.
“Mrs. Lola Crawford.” Heather looked at Lola. “Is Miss Newton, mentioned by Madam Crawford, Athena
Newton?”
Lola was stunned.
“Ah… Yes, she is Byron’s secretary.”
Heather nodded.
That day, Byron came to the airport to pick her up.
She saw him from afar.
Among the crowd, he was tall and handsome, quite
eye-catching.
But… Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Byron looked very absent-minded, constantly looking at his
phone.
He didn’t notice her until she came to him.
After they left the airport, he took her to the company on the pretext of some company business.
Heather didn’t think much of it at that time.
She was even very happy that Byron was willing to take her to the company and introduce her to
everyone in the company.
However, as soon as they arrived at the company, he received
a call
Without even explaining to her, he hurried to the floor of the sales department.
Instantly, she saw him running with the utmost anxiety toward
a wounded woman.
It was noisy around, and there were people in uniform.
She heard his trembling voice calling Athena.
“Miss Ross, don’t think too much. Byron never takes Athena seriously. Compared to you, she is nothing
at all!” Lola noticed Heather’s nervous expression, held her hand, and hurriedly explained, “After
getting engaged to you, he would fire her!”
Heather snapped out of her thoughts.
She smiled elegantly and gently. “Mrs. Lola Crawford, I know. Even if she is still in the company, I don’t
think she can snatch. Byron from me.”
She said these words in a soft voice.
But Lola felt Heather was very possessive of Byron.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lola was in a good mood now.
She always thought that Heather and Byron were only related
by marriage.
If furned out that Heather had feelings for her son!
Things would be much easier!
“Don’t worry!” Lola patted the back of Heather’s hand. “I will
never let anyone bully you!”
Heather nodded.

Then she hugged Lola.
With Byron not around, both of them lost interest.
Heather left quickly.
Lola called Byron directly.
It was soon answered.
“What’s wrong?” Byron said in a cold tone. It was not like a son talking to his mother.
Lola suppressed her anger. “Byron, where are you?”
“I have something to deal with.”
“Are you looking for Athena?” Lola sneered, “I told you a long
time ago
that this woman is not simple. She pretends to be Freya to stay by your side and pleases your
grandmother in
every possible way… Now that you are about to get married, she finally shows her true colors!”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Byron asked impatiently.
Actually, it was not the first time Lola had spoken ill of Athenal
in front of Byron.
Byron had never taken it to heart.
But today, he was inexplicably irritable.
“Don’t you know what I’m talking about? She knew you were. busy with your engagement today, so she
deliberately tricked
you away in front of Heather!”
Byron understood what Lola meant.
He sneered, “Do you think Athena is bothering me?”
“Or what!” Lola raised her voice.
