Even though Byron thought Olivia was just causing trouble, he didn't want Dexton to continuo suspecting his wife and child. Byron was quite confident in his mistress. Olivia, without a word, suddenly grabbed Byron's wrist checking his pulse. Byron was shocked, but Olivia simply let go without explanation.

Later that night at the Moore family mansion,

"How is Daxton? I rushed over as soon as I heard the news," 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 Byron's arms.

"The situation isn't good..." Byron, intent on proving his lover's innocence, played along as Olivia had instructed.

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.

assured, as long as you do as I say, I won't let you down As they say, a night of marriage owes a hundred days of grace. You helped me deal with the Moore family's troublemaker, and I will surely reward you... As she spoke, her hand naturally climbed up Greer's chest.

Greer, pale and both shocked and agitated, regretted falling for Emily's 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!
