Chapter 1201 She Was Gone

Early the following day, Byron dropped Aiden and Mia off at school.

Athena drove to the studio.

The Bloor Food Industry Company case was reaching its conclusion.

Scarlett and her team had secured several promising collaborations over the past few months.

Athena's visit today was to join her colleagues in a brainstorming session for the upcoming project proposals.

However, the meeting had barely started when Evie rushed in urgently.

"What's wrong? Why the rush?" Athena paused the meeting and returned to her office.

Evie had a good sense of timing.

She wouldn't interrupt Athena's work unless it were something serious.

Evie closed the door behind her and turned to Athena, her brows furrowed. "Freya's dead."

Athena was taken aback. "Dead? How do you know?"

"Not only do I know, but soon the entire nation will know!" Evie lowered her voice.

"Start from the beginning," Athena said, pouring her a glass of water.

Evie had initially intended to call Athena, but her calls wouldn't go through.

Not knowing the front desk number, she rushed directly to Athena's office.

She was parched after her hurried journey.

Evie downed the glass in one gulp and then opened her phone, showing Athena several images that could only be described as scenes from hell.

In a dimly lit room, blood was everywhere. Freya's head rolled into a corner. A man was crouched on the floor, using an axe to hack at her body. "Where did you get these?" Athena asked.

"They were sent to me by a classmate abroad," Evie said somberly. "They said this guy live-streamed it on the dark web last night. He broadcasted the entire process of killing Freya."

Athena's brow twitched.

"Was it Byron who arranged this?" Evie asked in a hushed tone.

Though she harbored no goodwill towards Freya, Evie still felt uneasy hearing this news.

Moreover, the situation had escalated so much that it was hard to guarantee whether Aiden and Mia would eventually find out that their father could be so ruthless.

Evie had come in a state of turmoil.

Athena suddenly remembered that Byron was standing by the window doing something when she woke up early.

She contemplated for a moment, then dismissed Evie's assumption.

"He didn't tell me," Athena said calmly. "If he did it and didn't want me to know, there wouldn't have been a live stream." "Alright." Evie slumped onto the couch.

"After you've seen them, please delete these photos. They're too haunting."

Athena took another look at the photos before complying.

Indeed, the photos were unsettling.

Athena deleted the pictures as requested.

As Evie had predicted, news of Freya's murder had spread across significant platforms in the country by the evening.

Images of Freya's death circulated widely on these platforms. The images were also widely circulated on various significant platforms, and all efforts to delete or block them were in vain. Because of the intense conflict between Freya, Byron, and Athena, which had escalated to nearly harming Byron's daughter, public opinion turned against Byron and Athena following Freya's death. Freya's death shifted the blame towards Byron and Athena, though most was directed at Byron.

Many were aware of Byron's less-than-favorable reputation in the past.

Some praised his strong and decisive actions, but others accused him of being bloodthirsty.

[I don't think I can even eat dinner tonight after seeing those images. Frankly, I can't imagine Byron being so cruel as to kill her like this while Freya's actions were undoubtedly atrocious.]
