My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Captivated

"I see." Byron said to Ruby.

She quickly hid behind him, pretending to be terrified. Athena was at a loss for words.

"If Ruby can't blame you, then what about me?" His words felt like a sharp knife stabbing her heart.

For a moment, she froze, her eyes slightly turning red. Byron didn't believe her…

He took out a few pages from the file and handed them to Athena. "Even if someone else manipulated the data, the signature on these pages is yours, isn't it?"

"...Yes," Athena replied.

"Then you need to take responsibility," he said coldly, shifting all the blame to her. "I'll give you three days to resolve this issue. Otherwise, our company will follow the proper procedures and involve the police."

Athena glanced at him, her jaw to the floor.

She felt something like betrayal swirl inside her, but she quickly suppressed the feeling.

She wasn't surprised; she knew Byron was petty and would make things difficult for her.

He must be mad since she decided to quit being his secretary and lover and firmly rejected his attempts to change her mind. At least he was kind enough not to kill her.

But she wasn’t the one to blame for the mistake with the data. She had to find who did this!

"Okay…" Athena said quietly.

Byron's eyes suddenly darkened.

He was getting irritated by her recent stubbornness.

He didn't say a word more and returned to his office.

Before Ruby followed him, she turned to Athena with a victorious grin.

Soon, rumors of Athena betraying the company spread throughout the building.
