Chapter 1334 Blame On the next day, Dorian informed Athena early in the morning that Roberts parents, Adrian Anderson and Debra Anderson, had boarded a plane to Mailand.
When Roberts body was initially found, this couple called two family members to retrieve it, but they couldnt.
On the following day, a well-known short-selling firm on Digital Avenue unexpectedly declared they were about to short the Anderson Group.
That sent the PR Director of the Anderson Group into a frenzy, attempting to contact Athena or Rose through various channels.
Eventually, left with no way and seeing a significant shorting conflict about to erupt, Adrian and Debra finally decided to come to Mailand.
They aimed not only to claim their sons body but also to apologize to the affected family.
Theyve come, then, Athena remarked with indifference, Well deal with it in a few days.
Yes, Mrs.
Crawford.
But theres one more thing, Dorian added.
Athena looked at him.
Since when did you start dawdling like Martin? Dorian then awkwardly cleared his throat.
With Mike hospitalized and Martin voluntarily stepping down, Dorian had to shoulder both roles responsibilities.
Having no experience in this regard, he mirrored Martins past approach.
Its about Martin, he said, After what happened to Mr.
Crawford, he took it pretty hard.
I believe… hes considering resigning.
Martins background wasnt much different from his.
Over the years, it was only with Byrons protection that he remained untroubled.
If that were to change… Have him see me, Athena instructed with a chilling tone.
Dorian was then momentarily taken aback.
Judging by her expression, he wondered if mentioning Martin had reminded her that Byron had been lost under Martins watch.
Was she now planning to settle scores with Martin? Dorian pondered.

Dorian remained silent, not daring to question her.
He then obediently went to call for Martin.
Upon seeing Athena, Martin lowered his head in shame, murmuring, Mrs.
Crawford, I had let you down… Athena glanced at him, saying, In such a situation, its hard to anticipate everything, I understand.
She then absentmindedly scattered the fish food she was holding into the lake.
It hadnt been long since theyd moved in.
Having been overfed by Mia, the koi in the lake gradually grew plump.
Byron was the one who first noticed this, taking photos and happily sending them to Athena for a look.
Tears immediately welled up in Martins eyes.
I shouldnt have let Mr.
Crawford go in… Whatever happened, happened, Athena said calmly, No amount of regret will change that.
Now, rally your team and continue the work he had assigned to you, especially safeguarding Mia and Aiden.
Imbe Group is bound to face internal turmoil soon.
Ill need your complete support to maintain order.
We dont have the time for you to wallow in guilt.
With an unwavering gaze, Martin met Athenas eyes.
Mrs.
Crawford, I promise you my utmost loyalty and dedication.
Ill faithfully carry on with the duties Mr.
Crawford entrusted to me and protect Miss Mia Newton and Mr.
Aiden Newton with all my might.
Trim your beard first.
We dont want Mia to be frightened by it, she advised.
He then responded firmly, Understood! Athena resumed feeding the fish, remaining silent.
Martin tightly gripped his fists, gave a subtle nod, and started to walk away.
Dorian was waiting by the side of the road.
When he saw Martin returning with red, teary eyes, he mused, This cant be good.
Did she scold you? Dorian approached him.
Martin, when Byron was alive, I genuinely wanted to push you out and take your place by Byrons side! But now, I genuinely hope youll stay.
Thats why I spoke to Mrs.
Crawford.
I didnt expect Mrs.
Crawford to blame you for the past mistakes.
Martin replied, What are you talking about? When did Mrs.
Crawford ever blame me? She just told me to do my job properly…
