Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2295

Tyler raised an eyebrow, pondering the relationship between Abner and Marlon. While everyone was scrambling to acquire the Keller family company, Abner, who had many business dealings with Marlon, hadn't made a move.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Tyler tentatively asked, "Are you planning to avenge Marlon?"

The mention of revenge confirmed that something had definitely happened to Marlon.

Abner took a deep drag from his cigarette, his gaze distant. "Not really. In the shipping business, we always knew a day like this would come. I'm just curious about how he died. Marlon was always so cautious, and despite many trying to get him, they never succeeded. So how did he disappear in just a few months?"

Of course, Tyler couldn't reveal anything about Athena, so he simply replied, "Well, it must have been his time."

Abner suddenly chuckled, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Anyway, congratulations."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Tyler had been busy acquiring assets from the Keller family bit by bit. But whenever he had free time, he made sure to be at home with Athena.

Lindsay's verdict had been decided long ago: the death penalty, to be carried out immediately. With the execution date approaching, Tyler worried about Athena's emotional state, so he tried everything he could to keep her spirits up.

Yet, Athena surprised him by asking, "Is there a way to see Lindsay off for the last time?"

Executions weren't open to public viewing and were carried out with government vehicles, so it was practically impossible for an ordinary person to attend. But since Athena, for the first time in a while, made a request, Tyler immediately called Fitch.

Fitch, with his extensive connections, arranged it in less than ten minutes.

As Athena left in the car, Tyler felt uneasy. He had been humble enough recently, only wishing she would stay with him a bit longer. But Athena seemed lost, disinterested in everything, which was not what Tyler wanted to see.

When Athena got into the car, her mind was blank.

What right did she have to shout? Everything Lindsay was going through was because of her. If Lindsay had stayed where she was, life would have been tough, but at least her brother would be alive, and their children wouldn't be in foster care.

Athena placed her palm against the car window, listening as a soft gunshot rang out. Lindsay accepted her fate with a serene expression, even when asked if she had any last meal requests, she shook her head. It seemed she had come to terms with everything, facing death with calm acceptance.

As Lindsay fell, Athena felt as if her own heart had been hit. Her face turned ashen, and she instinctively wanted to close her eyes but forced herself to keep them open, until they stung with tears.

With the execution over, the car began to drive away.

Athena looked pale, and those in the car thought she might be about to vomit, offering her a plastic bag.

But she merely held the bag, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, before she fainted.
