Athena exited the video app and was about to call Byron when Rose's call came through first.
Scarlett looked at Rose's incoming call with piercing eyes and said in a low voice, "I suppose the media overseas had been reporting it, too..."
Athena was at a loss for words.
She motioned Scarlett to leave the room, and only then Athena answered the phone.
"What's going on with those hashtags? Have you reconciled with Byron?" Rose asked consecutively, "Also, who was holding hands with Evie? I've only been away for a few days, so can both of you please give me some peace of mind?"
"Evie?" Athena didn't notice that Evie was also in the photos.
Rose said, "I saw her back figure in a photo of you and Byron thanking the guests!"
Again, Athena was left speechless.
She thought, "How could she be that familiar with it?"
Athena rubbed her forehead and said, "About Evie, just wait until she tells you herself. Let me explain mine first. I was caught in Evie's matter, and then Byron tricked me!"
"That man did it on purpose!" Rose snorted, "If he doesn't want the people in the country to publish news related to him, who will have the guts to publish it?"
Athena pursed her thin lips tightly.
She thought that she had successfully persuaded Byron to leave last night, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Athena said in a deep voice, "I'll find him!"
Rose said in a serious tone, "If you can't solve it, I'll come myself."
"Got it."
Athena just hung up the phone when this time, Evie's call came.
She picked it up and immediately heard Evie hollering, "Byron that do... That preposterous man!"
Athena immediately gave Byron a call, but there was only a cold mechanical sound answering her.
"The number you're calling is temporarily unavailable."
Athena frowned.
Athena might have thought that Byron set it up on purpose to avoid her.
But in fact, Byron's phone was broken by Freya.
Backtrack to one hour ago, the media had just released the news, and the trending topics had not blown up yet.
However, Freya's phone was bombarded like crazy by people from all walks of life.
Freya opened one of the messages, and it read: [Ms. Bates, you weren't the one who accompanied Mr. Crawford at the funeral, were you? Was Mr. Crawford forced into marriage by Alivia? So what are you going to do?]
