Chapter 324
At the Smith Family, Olivia had just sat down and read for a while when Elena Wayne came over and said, “Miss Taylor, some people from the Fulham family have come.”
“Hmm?” Olivia looked up calmly.
Elena explained, “Tucker and Talia Fulham, as well as Bettany Fulham’s stepmother, May, and…” She paused for a moment before continuing, “And your mentor from university, Kate Leach.”
Kate Leach?
Olivia could not help but smile.
The Fulham family was quite smart and knew how to look for people.
If Kate hadn’t come over, Olivia would definitely have refused to meet them.
Kate was Olivia’s mentor in university, who had taken great care of her, and the two of them got along quite well.
Since Kate was here, she would go down and meet her.
In the living room, Tucker and May sat at the side. Kate sat on a separate sofa. Only Talia sat in the corner, looking nervous and uneasy as if she had been bullied like a stress ball.
Before he came, Tucker had mentally prepared himself. He knew that Olivia would not let Bettany go so easily.
Speaking of Olivia, the more Tucker thought about it, the more regretful he became. He never would have thought that such a big shot like Olivia would be hidden in such a small town.
Young scientist, the head of the Smith family, fiancée of the richest man.
Any one of those titles, when presented, would make his hands and feet tremble. If it weren’t for the Dillon family giving him so many benefits, he wouldn’t have come at all.
Just as he was feeling apprehensive, he heard the sound of movement from upstairs. Tucker subconsciously looked up and saw Olivia walking down the stairs.
She was wearing simple home clothes. The loose and comfortable style complemented her exquisite and slender figure. The clothes on her body and the shoes on her feet could not be more ordinary, but she looked indescribably high–class and graceful in them.
Tucker only took a glance and quickly lowered his head. The aura exuded by the woman in front of him was too powerful, so much so that he had no choice but to lower his head.
It was strange. She was clearly the same person as the one from before, with the same face, but why did it feel completely different from when they were out in town?
Tucker could not figure it out.
The stepmother, May, also felt suppressed by Olivia’s aura, but she was slightly stronger than Tucker. Before she came, she had thought about how to make use of Kate and leverage Olivia’s reputation, to force the latter to hand over Bettany. However, now that she was intimidated by Olivia’s aura, May instantly changed her mind.
She was a very smart woman. She would not be stupid enough to fight head–on.
She got up
and sat beside Talia. She held Talia’s hand and just as she opened her mouth, tears streamed.
lock down her face, She began to act pitiful. “Ms. Taylor, I don’t know how we offended you. Why did you Bettant up?”
As she spoke, she tugged at Talia’s sleeve. “Bettany was raised painstakingly by her mother. They have a deep relationship with each other. Ms. Taylor, are you going to knowingly have the mother and daughter be separated?”
May spoke in a pitiful tone, like a poor village girl who had been bullied by the landlord. Her tone was timid and cowardly.

This made Kate feel terrible in her heart.
Before she came, she had always felt that there was a misunderstanding. Now, it seemed that no matter what misunderstanding it was, it was not right to let the mother and daughter be separated.
Kate looked at Olivia with a puzzled expression. “Olivia, why did you lock Bettany up?”
“Off” Olivia Taylor smiled. “I didn’t lock her
up.
