My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup

Chapter 1385 Expert Guidance

The next morning, Athena told Aiden and Mia about her one-week business trip.

Mia immediately showed significant unease.

She walked up to Athena and hugged her tightly, pressing herself against her. "Can't I take a leave and go with you?" she asked.

"Yeah," Athena gently stroked her little head. "Don't worry, my sweetheart. Mommy will be back as soon as I'm done with my work. Before I come back, Aron and Evie will take good care of you. And when Mommy comes back, how about Mommy bring you and Aiden some gifts?"

Mia buried her head in Athena's embrace.

There was no sound for a while.

It wasn't until Aiden said, "Mia, hurry up and finish your breakfast. You'll be late for school, and Martin is waiting."

Mia fell silent for about two seconds.

She gave a subdued response and then returned to the dining table, eating her breakfast with a gloomy expression. Athena wanted to say something, but Aiden shook his head at her.

Aiden thought that Athena shouldn't be trapped by him and Mia just because of what happened to Byron.

During this time, she delegated all the tasks which didn't require her presence during the business trips to others. Now that she had to go on a business trip, it might be something that required her involvement.

Athena made an apologetic expression toward Aiden.

When Mia finished her breakfast, Athena checked the time and decided to take them to school personally. After that, she rushed to the airport.

A three-hour flight later, Athena arrived at the transit airport.

To reach the island, she would need to take a seaplane.

Just after getting off the plane, Athena spotted Liam, who had tanned quite a bit.

"Miss Newton, sorry for bothering you!" Liam approached hurriedly.

"You've gotten so tanned from the sun," Athena exclaimed. The suntan made Liam almost unrecognizable.

"There's no other way..." Liam looked helpless. "That sunscreen and stuff, whenever I put it on, I get an allergic reaction!" "Tell me about the situation in specific."

After finishing the small talk, Athena asked Liam about the specific situation here while heading towards the seaplane.

"We'll arrive at the location soon. I'll point it out and tell you then."

Half an hour later, the seaplane arrived at a stunningly beautiful sea area.

The entire sea looked like blue glass, and the tropical fish and coral inside were visible.

"Initially, a while ago, we had already obtained legal documents through the court to evict the squatters forcefully. However, after being advised by some experts, they suddenly claimed that there are rare coral species within the island's sea area, and it should be designated as a protected area. Construction cannot be carried out in the area designated for protecting rare species," Liam said with frustration. He pointed towards a distant expanse of beautiful coral.

"I thought they were just causing trouble, but unexpectedly, they brought in authoritative experts in this field and even alerted the local government. They also got in touch with some experts in wildlife conservation. They've been spreading our 'wrongdoings' online. Now, the island has gathered a large number of various conservation association members. They're holding banners and streaming live broadcasts outside our base all day," Liam explained.

In this era of the Internet... It was the best of times as it was the worst of times.

The good thing was that information technology was advanced.

But it was also the bad thing of this era.

It was too easy for people online without distinguishing right from wrong to be swayed by the prevailing narrative. The latter even tended to target whoever seemed weaker.

This time, Liam had truly experienced it firsthand.

He didn't mention to Athena that some extremists pelted him with mud on his head and face last week.
