Chapter 316
Before she could finish speaking, a slightly cold hand grabbed her wrist.
Bettany looked up.
It was Olivia.
“There’s no need to worry. If I was afraid of the Dillon family, I wouldn’t have come to take you away today,” Olivia said in a calm tone, neither angry nor afraid of Marcus’s threat. Her expression was calm and indifferent, and there was only a hint of authority hidden in it.
Looking at Olivia like this, Bettany, who was a blue funk, was strangely soothed. She followed her own thoughts and nodded heavily. “Olivia, I’ll go with you.” This time, Marcus did not speak. Instead, he watched Bettany leave expressionlessly.
After a while, Eudoră came in and quickly walked in front of Marcus. She first Hooked at the empty living room and then at the door.
Her heart skipped a beat and her voice trembled slightly. “Bettany left?”
Marcus did not speak. No one could tell what he was thinking from his
expression, but his back was straight as if it was an extremely taut bow that would break with a slight touch.
Eudora could not help but tear up after taking a look.
Then, rage bubbled just below the surface of her mind. She cursed Bettany in her heart.
The Dillon family had done so much for Bettany, but she was still not satisfied. First, they invested a lot of money into the Fulham family. Then, they hired a famous doctor to nurse Bettany’s health. She lived in the Dillon Manor and had a servant to serve her with everything well provided.
What else did she want?
The Dillon family did not despise her for coming from a small town without getting a diploma. Instead, she despised Marcus.
Eudora blinked to fight back her tears. She said in a low voice, “I’ve called Tucker. He’ll be here soon. Marcus, don’t worry. Bettany won’t be able to leave the Dillon
Manor.”
Marcus closed his eyes in silence.
Eudora was worried that he would feel sad and was about to comfort him when she heard him say, “It’s good that she’s gone.”
Marcus’s voice was calm, but there was something hidden inside, revealing a sign
of a storm.

“I should at least let her try once before she gives up. Then she’ll understand that she can’t escape from me no matter what. As for Olivia…” Marcus’s tone was bone–chilling when he said that. “Since she dares to mind other’s business, she has to bear the consequences.”
He would give her a taste of her own medicine. Didn’t she snatch Bettany away? He could arrange for someone to snatch Daniel away.
Without the support of Daniel, the super–rich man, Olivia might not even be able to secure her position as the head of the Smith family. By then, she would be brought down a peg or two.
“There’s no need to let Tucker go over. I have my own plans for this matter,” Marcus said and drove the wheelchair upstairs.
It was almost 12 o’clock. Olivia didn’t have time to go back to the Smith family. She asked Bettany if she wanted to return to the Smith family first or follow her to the Painting Association.
When she heard about the Painting Association, Bettany’s eyes lit up and she said timidly, “I… Can I really go?”
Olivia looked up and chuckled. “Sure.”
This was the first time Bettany had seen Olivia smile like this. It was as if the bright sun had broken through the clouds and bloomed with a dazzling red glow. It was incomparably stunning.
Bettany was stunned for a moment and regained her senses after a long time. When they arrived at the art gallery, Bettany got out of the car and followed Elena. Her tone was filled with worry. “Elena, are you sure I won’t be too much trouble for Olivia?”
“Trouble?” Elena, who was looking down at her phone, did a double–take.
After a while, she realized what Bettany meant.
“You mean the Dillon family?” Elena’s tone was mocking, and her expression was completely disdainful. “They’re not worthy to be a trouble for Miss Taylor!”
As Elena spoke, she handed the phone to Bettany.
There was a Wikipedia note on it, regarding Olivia.
Bettany lowered her head to take a closer look. As she read it, a wave of shock spread over her till she was left dumbfounded.
