hapter 472 Greta Did A Lot
Finished
After learning about the ins and outs of the situation, everyone finally understood that this incident was probably the reason Niel’s infidelity was exposed. However, he remained indifferent, making no effort to conceal it. His only desire was to be with the person who had stood by him through thick and thin.
He believed this person loved him more than his wife ever did, even to the point of being willing to sacrifice their life for his. That’s why he was so determined to end his marriage with the Quirk family.
Greta let out a bitter chuckle. “So, you two managed to get out on your own, huh? You’re telling me it wasn’t my rescue team that saved you?”
Niel responded, “Anyone could have called for a rescue, but only she was willing to die with me. She’s the one who truly loves me. I don’t deny that you care about me, Greta, but not like she does. Is it wrong for me to choose the one who treats me This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing that, Greta was so weary and disheartened she couldn’t be bothered to continue arguing with him.
Meanwhile, Isabella seethed inwardly. D*mn it, Aunt Greta, say something! Don’t you think it’s time to reveal everything you’ve done? Wasn’t all your effort to fit into the social circles of the wives for his sake? If it weren’t for you managing all the major forces on his behalf, his business would be in even more danger. And when things went south, who comforted the family? Who took care of the company? Who recovered the goods? Who tirelessly contacted the embassy? Who kept a close eye on the rescue team’s updates to make timely adjustments? Who prepared medical supplies in
advance for immediate treatment? If it weren’t for Aunt Greta’s tireless efforts, he’d have died out there with his mistress long ago. And he still has the nerve to claim Aunt Greta doesn’t love him enough?
Her internal rant left David and his family dumbfounded.
At first, they had been swayed by Niel’s explanation, thinking his reasoning had some merit. Sure, Greta was competent, but it seemed like the mistress had gone above and beyond, so they could understand why Niel had a change of heart.
But now, they were beginning to see the situation in a different light and was infuriated.
Though the younger ones couldn’t intervene, David and Selena refused to let Niel off the hook.
With an icy tone, David was the first to break the silence. “Niel, you might need to get your eyes checked- no, scratch that, it’s your brain that needs checking!”
Niel was taken aback, meeting David’s glare with a hint of defiance, convinced he hadn’t done anything
wrong.
“Tell me this,” David continued, “Greta never cared for socializing back home. Why do you think she threw herself into the noblewomen’s social circles? Do you think she did it for fun? For her own amusement? Even if I didn’t know the details, I could guess–it was for your sake.”
Niel’s expression wavered slightly.
Felix, who had the most say on the matter, spoke up next. “When I first arrived in Gishwick, my wife was the one who helped me expand my network. She said that social circles among the wives were easier to navigate, and she wanted to introduce me to people so I could do business without being
oppressed by local thugs. After she was gone, I faced one obstacle after another. I appreciate everything she did, even though all I ever wanted was for her to follow her own interests.”

Niel’s face paled at the implication. He had to admit, many of those noblewomen’s husbands were involved in both legal and illegal dealings.
Selena, her tone icy, added, “The funny part was when you said all Greta did was make a call. I may not know the details, but I can imagine how anxious Greta must’ve been when she heard about your predicament. After you were saved, how could you only express gratitude to the person who faced danger with you? Didn’t it ever cross your mind why your home stayed intact, why the company continued to thrive? With all the chaos where you were, do you really think the rescue team would have been so dedicated? If it hadn’t been for someone monitoring the situation and taking action, I doubt you would’ve been rescued so promptly.”
Niel’s eyes flickered as he looked at Greta sheepishly.
Even the eldest, Adam, chimed in, “That place must’ve had terrible signal, making contact nearly impossible. If Greta wanted to get you out as quickly as possible, she would’ve needed to coordinate help from the outside, right? Were you seriously blaming her for not dropping everything, throwing caution to the wind, and coming to find you herself? Greta’s no fool–she wouldn’t do something reckless that would only create more problems.”
