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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
