Chapter 371: Wild Ways from the Countryside

The woman was grimacing in pain. Having always been cherished by Byron, when had she ever suffered such humiliation? But now, no one present felt any sympathy for her.

Seeing the situation unravel, Greer’s legs turned to jelly. While Byron was furiously interrogating the woman, Greer tried to sneak away unnoticed. However, just as he turned to leave, someone abruptly grabbed him by the collar.

“Dr. Greer, where do you think you’re going?” Olivia’s voice, laced with amusement, came from behind him. Her voice drew Byron’s attention, and he frowned at Greer, whose forehead was now slick with cold sweat.

“It was all her! She seduced me first, threatened me with a video of us together, made me do her bidding, or else… she’d send the video to you…” Greer was panicking. The Moore family had been kind to him, and if it weren’t for the woman’s scheming, he never would have hurt anyone from the Moore family.

Listening to Greer’s confession, the woman scrambled up from the ground, dropping her usual gentle demeanor, and grabbed Greer by the collar, shouting furiously.

“What do you mean you were threatened? It was you who drugged me! You took advantage of me when I was dazed…”

“Get your hands off me, you wretch!” Greer shook off Emily’s grasp.

The spectacle unfolding before him was nearly enough to make Byron’s head explode. Olivia, tired of the drama, swiftly tied them up with a rope and dumped them at Byron’s feet. She then headed upstairs to join Daxton and Benjamin for tea. Whether Byron would come to his senses was now up to him.

“Olivia, thank you for your hard work,” Daxton said, standing on the balcony, having observed everything that transpired in the garden.

He thought the audacity of the deceitful couple to drug him was monstrous enough. But to think they wouldn’t even spare Byron!

“Grandpa, you’re too kind. It was really no trouble at all,” Olivia replied with a smile, her purse significantly heavier for her troubles.

“I was quite impressed with your skills just now; I didn’t expect someone so young to have learned self-defense,” Daxton casually remarked. Olivia and Benjamin were about the same age. From a young age, the Moore family had hired countless expert tutors to train Benjamin in various skills, spending vast sums to make him proficient in both arts and combat.

However, Daxton had previously investigated Olivia’s background. The Garter family was originally just ordinary folks who had made a small fortune in business. Compared to the wealth of the Moore family, the Carter’s assets were inconsequential.

Given the Carter family’s situation, it was unlikely they could afford to invest much in teaching Olivia various skills. But Daxton had heard from Benjamin of Olivia’s many talents.

“I wouldn’t really call it martial arts; I’m just naturally strong. I grew up roughhousing in the countryside, Daxton, don’t take it the wrong way.”

“The countryside?” Daxton was slightly taken aback.

“I grew up in the countryside and only moved to the city recently.”

Daxton’s eyes flickered with curiosity.

“How old were you when they sent you to the countryside?”

Olivia thought for a moment, “According to my grandma, I was sent there not long after I was born.”

Daxton looked at Olivia, his expression growing increasingly peculiar. What kind of family would send an infant to the countryside?
