If Lewis had just moved on with Nina after the divorce and stopped stirring up trouble, Athena might’ve remembered a few good things about him.

But now, all she felt was pure irritation and disgust.

Did he seriously think his little stunt was romantic?

Wasn’t he just arrested not long ago? How did he even get out so fast?

Right when Athena was about to deal with the mess Lewis caused, her phone started ringing.

It was Harriet.

She figured it had to be about Lewis, so she answered, expecting the usual surprised tone. But instead, Harriet’s voice was full of panic.

“Athena, something terrible happened!”

Athena was surprised. “What are you talking about? Is this about Lewis?”

Harriet sounded anxious, “No! It’s Zaden–he’s missing!”

Athena felt her chest tighten. “What happened? Calm down and tell me everything.”

“Zaden’s mom got involved in your business, right? He stepped in to stop her, but she got so mad that she fainted. They had a huge fight, and now he’s just disappeared!

“He’s always been controlled and under so much pressure, and now he’s getting slammed from every side. What if he does something reckless?”

Athena’s expression changed. “He’s not that fragile, is he?”

“You have no idea how much Zaden is under. Taking over Storm Group is already brutal, and now his mom is just piling on.

“What can he even do about Mrs. Storm? She’s his mom, after all. He must be torn up inside and probably can’t think straight for a while-”

Then, Harriet suddenly gasped. “Oh, I just remembered! Today is the anniversary of his grandma’s death. His ex left around this time, so he never got to say goodbye to his grandma.

“His grandma loved him more than anyone when he was a kid. That regret will haunt him forever. Poor guy … ”

Chapter 183 He’s Missing

Harriet felt guilty.

:

She’d done everything she could to help Zaden keep his marriage and even lied.

Athena’s face shifted as she processed everything.

It sounded pretty bad.

No one was untouchable. Everyone had a breaking point, even someone as strong and capable as Zaden.

What if he really did something drastic?

Her worry deepened when she thought about it.

She hurriedly said, “Harriet, don’t panic. Where are you? I’ll come to you, and then we’ll check every place Zaden might be.”

Athena soon found Harriet and Tommy.

Harriet ran up the moment she saw her. “Athena! You’re here! We’ve already looked everywhere, but there’s no sign of Zaden.”

“Don’t worry, Harriet. We’ll keep checking other places.”

Tommy stepped in and explained the fight between Zaden and Beverly.

It was because of Athena that things blew up.

Then, Beverly dragged up old issues, rubbing salt in Zaden’s wounds, which only made matters

worse.

Athena’s chest tightened. She felt a pang of sympathy. “If that’s true, Zaden might really do something drastic.”

Suddenly, she heard fast footsteps.

Teri ran out and clung to Athena’s leg. “Athena, my dad is gone. Did he leave me?”

Athena was stunned to see Teri–and even more surprised when she spoke!

“Teri … you can talk now?”
