My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 1582

Chapter 1582 Reminiscing About the Past

"I'm scared! I'm really scared!" Iris choked up, hanging her head low. "If it weren't for Mia yesterday, I would have chosen to jump from upstairs. Life with my dad or my mom is just too terrifying..." Athena nodded. "I understand."

Iris timidly looked at Athena, unsure if she would help her.

Earlier, her dad had mentioned at the dinner table that Mia was a daughter of a wealthy conglomerate.

He used harsh words to describe Mia's parents, saying they were ruthless and heartless.

So when she found out yesterday that her mom went to see Mia, she became extremely fearful.

But just now, the principal said that Mia's mother was a good person and that if she needed help, she could ask for help from her.

"Go to class now. We will help you with the rest. Of course, if you change your mind and want to choose between your dad and mom again, or meet your mom, let the principal know anytime."

Iris was taken aback.

She didn't expect Mia's mother to agree so readily.

"What's wrong?" Athena saw her surprised eyes and asked.

Iris hesitated for a moment. "I don't want any of them. Don't you think I'm heartless?"

At home, she was accused of being heartless.

It happened when she ate a little more during meals.

And sometimes, her aunt was in a bad mood. Iris would be scolded as heartless for not comforting her. But Iris was just busy with her schoolwork.

Over time, she began to doubt herself, wondering if she was heartless.

Athena looked at the cautious child before her, raised her hand, and gently touched her head. "Iris, you're just trying to survive. It's your parents' fault for making you helpless and desperate." Iris froze in place.

After a moment, she covered her face with both hands and cried like a wounded animal.

She didn't understand why Mia could have such a gentle mother while she was born to be in hell.

Athena didn't stay in school for long.

When getting in the car, Dorian couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Crawford, I'm afraid that more and more people will come to you for help once this starts."

Athena replied, "Don't worry. This matter ends here. Neither Byron nor I will intervene from now on."

Dorian nodded helplessly.

The car took Athena to Imbe Group building.

On the other side, Gideon arrived at Lakin on time.

"You've recovered quite well, huh?" Gideon walked around Byron a couple of times and casually concluded.

Byron looked somewhat indifferent and said, "Yeah, starting next Monday, I'll begin rehabilitation. Hope this leg will recover sooner."

As they spoke, they went to the living room.

Gideon wanted to beat around the bush, but apparently, Byron didn't have that intention.

"Let's get straight to it."

Gideon raised an eyebrow and then nodded. "From when should we start? Hmm... let's start from the year of my birthday when you arrived late. I asked you why, and you said you saw someone resembling Freya...."
