Christoff looked at her but was speechless for a while. Did she regard him as a friend? Unsure, he asked again, “Are
we friends now?”
Olivia looked at him firmly. “Why would I come with you if I didn’t consider you as a friend?” “You aren’t here to find
Eugene?”
“My goal is to find him, but I also have to ensure my safety. Although you are annoying most of the time, my instinct
tells me that you won’t hurt me, so I regard you as a friend.” Olivia looked at him with sincere eyes. Though she
admitted it was not entirely true, she had to word it that way.
The man in front of her might be dangerous, and although she had an intuition that he wouldn’t hurt her, there was
no guarantee that he wouldn’t hurt Eugene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had to ensure that Christoff wasn’t involved in this matter, and even if he was, she hoped that her words would
make him waver and withdraw himself from the conspiracy. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the two of them to
join hands. On the contrary, Christoff glanced at Olivia in surprise. Her words did shock him.
How could she believe him by intuition? No one had ever said such a thing to him before. Who was he? He was
Christoff Stevenson, the ruler of Samuel Court. No one had ever fully trusted him, but he somehow gained the trust
of a woman he had barely known for a month and got along with for less than a week.
His current feelings were indescribable. He was delighted but was also a little guilty. He wanted to erase the
deceptive acts he did to her, and he even secretly promised not to lie to her anymore. This time, however…
It took a while before he found his voice again. “I’m glad you’re well aware of that. Even if I don’t like Eugene, I
won’t do such a thing on the premise of hurting my friends. Let’s head out and have a look at the situation now,” he
urged and tugged Olivia’s arm.
Despite that, Olivia stayed still because she didn’t want to see Eugene. “You go ahead. I’ll come back in a while.”
“I’ll stay here with you, then.”
“It’s fine. I need some time alone.” Christoff then uttered, “You better stay still, then. Although you are my girlfriend
now, I’m not going to save you if you throw yourself into the fire.”
Olivia glared at him and seethed, “Just mind your own business!” With a smile, he replied, “Sure. I’ll help you listen
to what Eugene has to say.” With that, he left.
Olivia walked a little further by herself, found at place where no one was around, and leaned against the wall. She
then fished out her phone and called Eugene. However, the call still couldn’t go through.
She took a deep breath. Although she had always been confident in Eugene’s feelings for her, she no longer had
the energy to defend him anymore. She was confused.
Just then, a subdued voice came from the room not too far away, but it was loud enough for her to hear it. One of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthem said, “The King must take this glass of wine later. Remember. It’s the one on the left.”
The other asked, “Why?” “Why do you have so many questions? Just do as I say.”
“Got it.” Soon, a waiter came out with two glasses of wine on a tray. Olivia was suspicious of their conversation.
Why did they specify which glass the King should drink? Were they intending to assassinate the King? It was
possible. Now that Sirius had made the engagement with Eugene official, he thought he had strong support. Thus,
he wanted to kill the King and take over his place. Wouldn’t that be a logical thing to do?
Thinking of that, Olivia grew anxious. Did Eugene get involved with another country’s coup? Anxious, she rushed out
to the hall again.
At this time, Azalea was holding the microphone as she announced, “Don’t get us wrong, everyone. Eugene and I
are just friends, and we are not planning to get engaged. My father misunderstood our relationship, but I am still
delighted that all of you took the time to attend my birthday party today. Feel free to enjoy yourselves tonight!”
