Chapter 365 You Donât 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 Oliviaâs 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.
âYoung lady, your statement is absurd,â 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? Thatâs the most ridiculous thing Iâve heard this year. I see how you wormed your way into our familyânothing but lies. You can only deceive the old and the young here.â
A twentyâsomething girl helping my dad to walk?
âMy fatherâs 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,â Byron said with a sarcastic smile.
Oliviaâs gaze swept over Byron, and she retorted, âYou donât even understand why your father canât stand, and you call yourself his son? I really worry for your father. The Moore Group hasnât gone bankrupt under your management? You donât seem that smart...â
LF Byronâs face flushed with alternating shades of red and white from Oliviaâs 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 placeâit was about time someone scolded him properly.
Even Benjamin, witnessing Byrib being verbally thrashed, felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Since his parentsâ 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 shouldnât be blamed for adult mistakes. Yet, the day Olivia revealed Benedictâs 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.
âOlivia, you just said you could help grandpa stand. Is that true?â Benjamin asked, indifferent to Byronâs rage.
âYou believe her?â Byron looked at Benjamin incredulously.
âDaxtonâs condition might have been prolonged, but the doses have been small. The damage is there but not irreversible. Iâll write you a prescription, and you can have someone fill it,â Olivia caÅually stated.
