Chapter 1549 The Cause of the Heartbreaking Situation

To Lucia, Athena was the cause of her daughter's heartbreaking situation.

Growing up, Heather was always warm-hearted and friendly to all, never intending to hurt anyone.

All she ever desired was to be with the man who promised to be engaged to her, no matter his initial reasons.

Had Athena not been in the picture, even if that man had married Heather solely for business interests, Heather would have at least been happy.

But ultimately, Byron chose to end the engagement with Heather in a way that devastated her, all because of Athena.

Heather had always been hardworking since she was a child.

She had distinguished herself even among her talented siblings and, shortly after her graduation, became a favorite of her father.

She was, like Annie, being prepared as an heir.

Yet, due to that canceled engagement, everything Heather had worked for collapsed instantly.

The family members who had once cherished her now rallied behind another brother, even if he wasn't as exceptional as Heather.

Moreover, her esteemed reputation as a noblewoman was also ruined.

Those two widely circulated videos had tarnished Heather's reputation as a woman.

When the mother and daughter met for the last time and had a deep talk.

During their last heartfelt conversation, Heather earnestly told her mother, "Mom, Byron did like me. He'd have chosen me over Athena if it weren't for those videos. I was meant to be Mrs. Crawford." At the time, she believed her daughter couldn't be helped anymore.

And with Eddie having a new affair, she felt hopeless and chose to leave her daughter, relocating far away.

Looking back, Lucia understood that Byron likely had those two videos long before they became engaged.

If Athena hadn't been involved, Byron wouldn't have revealed those videos.

He just wanted to stand up for Athena back then.

However, Lucia couldn't fathom what Byron saw in that woman to defend her so.

No matter how long Athena might have been with Byron before, she was still never his official partner. Once he decided to engage Heather, Athena became the outsider by still being involved with him. Why was Heather being criticized for exposing her online?

What was wrong with aborting the child in her abdomen?

Women of high society traditionally guarded their husband's bloodlines closely.

They believed they had the exclusive right to bear their husband's children. No other should have that privilege.

Thus, Byron's act of revenge seemed utterly absurd.

It seemed nothing more than a means to please Athena.

So, after what was said and done, the root of Heather's tragedy lay with Athena.

It wasn't fair that while everyone suffered, Athena flourished even more.

Athena should have faced her demise too.

Even in death, such a woman would surely receive the harshest judgment in the depths of hell.

Driven by these beliefs, Lucia offered Cindy a lot of money to end Athena.

Although Cindy declined the money, she was willing to assassinate Athena for Lucia.

Over the years with Lucia, Cindy was always treated with kindness and concern. In Cindy's own words, Lucia was the first to show her a motherly kind of love.

Cindy had been away for a few months, and Lucia was deeply concerned about her.

When Rose suddenly pressured Kunce to surrender her, Lucia felt in her heart that Cindy might not have succeeded.
