Chapter 365 You Don’t Seem That Smart…
+8 Pearis
Just as Daxton was discussing treatment options with Clivia, Byron had stormed in. Initially, Daxton was somewhat disappointed to learn Olivia’s knowledge of traditional medicine came only from a neighbor and thought her diagnosis was merely coincidental. He had little hope for her treatment.
But then, Olivia claimed she could help him stand again, filling Daxton with shock and anticipation.
“Young lady, your statement is absurd,” Byron scoffed. My father has been unable to walk for years, despite treatment from top domestic doctors. And you a drama student from St. Rona Academy, dare claim you can make him walk? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard this year. I see how you wormed your way into our family–nothing but lies. You can only deceive the old and the young here.”
A twenty–something girl helping my dad to walk?
“My father’s condition is due to cardiac decline causing weakness in his legs. Young lady, I advise you to get your facts straight before making such claims,” Byron said with a sarcastic smile.
Olivia’s gaze swept over Byron, and she retorted, “You don’t even understand why your father can’t stand, and you call yourself his son? I really worry for your father. The Moore Group hasn’t gone bankrupt under your management? You don’t seem that smart…”

Byron’s face flushed with alternating shades of red and white from Olivia’s string of sarcastic jibes. Since taking over Moore Group, he had often been praised for his acumen, likened to his father. But according to Olivia…
Bankruptcy? Stupidity?
He was furious, ready to lash out at Olivia for her outrageous comments.
Meanwhile, Daxton found it refreshing to see someone put Byron in his place–it was about time someone scolded him properly.
Even Benjamin, witnessing Byrib being verbally thrashed, felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Since his parents‘ deaths, he had little contact with Byron, who lavished all his paternal affection on Benedict, his illegitimate son.
Benjamin had always been amicable towards Benedict, believing the child shouldn’t be blamed for adult mistakes. Yet, the day Olivia revealed Benedict’s schemes was the day Benjamin realized how naive he had
been.
Watching his grandfather enjoy the spectacle of his father about to explode with anger, Benjamin silently facepalmed.
“Olivia, you just said you could help grandpa stand. Is that true?” Benjamin asked, indifferent to Byron’s
rage.
“You believe her?” Byron looked at Benjamin incredulously.
“Daxton’s condition might have been prolonged, but the doses have been small. The damage is there but not irreversible. I’ll write you a prescription, and you can have someone fill it,” Olivia caŝually stated.
