Athena clenched her fists tightly.
"After Jaxson disappeared, Mom told me if anything happened to her, I should hide immediately and wait for you to find me."
Jaclyn said, tears rolling down her face.
"In the end, it was all my fault. She wouldn't have asked Jaxson to investigate if I hadn't told her I suspected someone had caused Eliseo's accident. With Jaxson by her side, Mom would have been safe!"
"Their goal is the conglomerate. Even if you said nothing, they would still target Jaxson and Grandma," Athena responded coldly.
"So what should we do now?" Jaclyn was highly anxious. "Do you have Mom's will?"
"No." Athena answered, "The will has always been with the lawyer. Now the lawyer and the will are missing with him."
In an instant, Jaclyn seemed to collapse.
She slumped onto the sofa.
"Cato and Lien had planned this long ago. They proposed the shareholders' meeting themselves. They must have had a plan to win. Without the will, he can deny you're part of Stella Group. It's over... Everything is over..."
"Did Grandma foresee her danger?" Athena ignored Jaclyn's breakdown.
Jaclyn was weak. Grandma had said it countless times.
"Yes!" Jaclyn nodded forcefully.
"During that time, did she give you anything?" Athena did not believe that Rose, such an intelligent woman, would not prepare anything when she sensed danger.
Jaclyn thought for a while and shook her head blankly.
"Think carefully," Byron said in a deep voice.
He shared Athena's thoughts.
Athena also looked surprised.
The victim from thirty years ago... was Stacy.
"Let's go. Don't disturb Jaclyn's rest." Byron took Athena's hand and left the ward.
When the door closed, Athena could still hear Jaclyn's suppressed cries.
"My uncle loved Jaclyn very much when he was alive," Athena sighed and said to Byron, "Grandma said Jaclyn doesn't even know how to pay the electricity bill normally. Now that this has happened, I'm quite surprised that she could quickly hide with the children after realizing who the enemy is and listening to Grandma's words."
She thought that Jaclyn had long become a puppet of Lien and Cato.
After a pause.
Thinking of Rose, Athena couldn't help choking up. "I don't know what's happened to Grandma, why she sensed danger but didn't tell me, why she didn't come back to me immediately?"
