Byron was quite confident in his mistress.
Olivia, without a word, suddenly grabbed Byronâs wrist checking his pulse. Byron was shocked, but Olivia simply let go without explanation.
Later that night at the Moore family mansion, âHow is Daxton? I rushed over as soon as I heard the news,â said Emily, who was over forty but looked only in her early thirties due to excellent maintenance.
Upon arriving at the Moore family estate, Emily weakly fell into Byronâs arms.
âThe situation isnât good...â Byron, intent on proving his loverâs innocence, played along as Olivia had instructed.

Then, Byron led Emily upstairs to see Daxton, who was now unconscious.
Thanks to Oliviaâs machinations, Daxton now appeared deathly pale and breathless in bed, looking completely spent.
Olivia, dressed as a maid, stood by the bed and watched as Byronâs darling shed tears for Daxton, but she keenly noticed a flicker of schadenfreude in the womanâs eyes.
Unable to bear seeing his mistress so upset, Byron quickly excused her to rest.
Emily, dabbing at her tears, was escorted out by the maid. She thought the maid looked somewhat familiar but was too distracted to dwell on it.

As she spoke, her voice filled with laughter, âIsnât it better if he dies sooner?

As she spoke, her hand naturally climbed up Greerâs chest.
Greer, pale and both shocked and agitated, regretted falling for Emilyâs schemes which had brought him to this point. But it was too late to back out, and he embraced Emily, kissing her passionately.
Just as the couple indulged in their affection, all the lights in the garden suddenly turned on!
