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.

Young scientist!

The head of the Smith family!

The fiancée of the richest man!

Bettany clutched her chest in disbelief. Was this Olivia who sold sandwiches in a small town?

Why did it feel like Olivia was from another world?

Tullionaire’s Missing Darling Thinking of the fact that Olivia used to sell sandwiches for a living, Bettany subconsciously licked her lower lip and turned to ask Elena, “Elena, why would Olivia go to town to sell sandwiches?”

Elena did not know much about it. She only knew a little about it. When she heard this, she frowned and replied, “There should be a reason. I’m not too sure, but Miss Taylor must have a reason for going to town,”

Bettany nodded. “Olivia’s sandwich is delicious. Ever since she left, the sandwich has been no longer as delicious and popular as before.

At this point, Bettany felt a little regretful. “It’s a waste to give up such a good secret recipe. Why doesn’t Olivia open a sandwich shop in Evervale? No, it should be a sandwich chain store. It must be very famous.”

Elena disagreed. “How is it possible for Miss Taylor to open a sandwich shop?” Bettany could hear the disdain in Elena’s tone and hurriedly explained, “That sandwich is really delicious. I’m not lying to you.

I’ve tried many good things in the Dillon family, but they can’t compare to the sandwich. This secret recipe is too delicious and precious. It would be a pity not to open the sandwich shop!”

Elena chuckled and said proudly, “It’s just a sandwich’s secret recipe. How can it be precious? Miss Taylor has many good things. Any of them is more precious than a sandwich’s recipe. Any one of them can shock the world.”

After saying that, Elena turned to Bettany and said solemnly, “You’re lucky to be valued by Miss Taylor.

As long as you follow her, you’ll have great fortune in the future.”

Great fortune?

Bettany repeated with a lonely expression. Would she really have a great fortune? Olivia arrived quite early. She had yet to finish ing on the painting for the second round.

At this moment, the judges were arguing over a painting.

It was a portrait of a Saintess. The color and outline of this painting were great, but the light and shadow were a little rough.

Some judges rated this painting as number one and believed that it expressed native intelligence.

Some other judges agreed with them but thought the details. were not handled well. It seemed that the painter had not been systematically learned and his skills were a little rough.

The two sides argued endlessly.

Since no one could convince the other, someone suggested that they let the specially invited judge make a .

“President.” A middle–aged man looked at Rose. “Didn’t you invite a mysterious judge? Where is she?”

Rose said, “She has something urgent to deal with and is on the way here.”

“She’s not here yet?” The middle–aged man doubted, but he didn’t say anything Instead, he turned to Winona and said, “Ms. Manson, why don’t you take a look? The others echoed, “Yes, yes. Ms. Manson should take a look.”“

Winona was not modest. She stepped forward and took a look. She was stunned by the painting.

This painting was indeed amazing.

However… it was just as everyone had said. It was a little rough and strange. There was something that didn’t go well with it.

“How about this?” Winona suggested, “Let’s call the painter over to explain the thoughts on the painting.”

The Painting Association valued talented students very much. They did not want to bury any genius students.

Hearing Winona’s words, they immediately nodded in agreement.

Soon, a staff member went downstairs to look for Doris.

Doris was a little nervous. She kept asking the staff carefully, “Why are you taking me there? Is there something wrong with my painting?”

The staff shook his head. “No, it’s just that your painting stands out. The judges want you to go over and explain your creative concept.”

Her painting stood out?

Doris was desperately nervous, but her eyes gleamed with surprise. However, before the surprise filled her eyes, she saw Olivia walking towards her.

Behind her was a figure that made Doris’s eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Why was Bettany here!
