Chapter 1432 Not Worth It
She looked at Doreen, a little nervous, and asked, "If I really am Queen Blanchett's daughter, who is my father?" Before Doreen could speak, an urgent voice came from the door, "General Bleu, something bad has happened. Mr. Nolan and Mr. Bleu are fighting outside."
Hugh frowned at the untimely interruption. "Where are the guards? Stop them quickly."
The servant stammered, "Mr. Bleu won't allow it, but I saw... I saw that Mr. Bleu seemed to be beaten badly!"
Olivia immediately shot to her feet. "I'll check what's going on!"
At this moment, only she could stop Eugene when he was in such a mood. Still, she had to admit, he was quick with his hands and feet. She could clearly remember that he was just in the room a moment ago. When did he leave?
Hugh looked at Olivia gratefully, stood up, wrapped a thin blanket around Doreen, and pushed her to the courtyard.
As soon as they left the room, they saw two people fighting each other. No! It shouldn't be called a fight; it was more like one-sided pounding. Plus, Albert had never been a match for Eugene. Now, he was plagued by guilt, so he definitely wouldn't fight back.
It was exactly as the servant said... Albert was being beaten badly.
Olivia yelled, "Eugene, stop!"
Unfortunately, Eugene refused to heed her. If anything, he placed more power in his attacks after hearing her.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
In his mind, all he could think was, How dare Albert come here after all that? Since he has the audacity to make an appearance, doesn't that mean that he has a death wish?
She rubbed her throbbing temples. This man really worried her sometimes.
To make matters worse, she couldn't really fault him for being overprotective. It was just troublesome that he would brush her off whenever someone or something threatened her safety.
Does he even remember that we're not in home territory?
"Eugene!"
This time, she reprimanded sternly, "Are you going to make me go all the way there? In my condition?"
Hence, Eugene had no choice but to squash the resentment in his heart. He only ceased venting his anger on Albert because he was concerned about Olivia's well-being. So, he glared at Albert as he snarled, "Both Olivia and I were blind to consider you, an ungrateful person, as a friend. Have you forgotten why we came here in the first place? Were those promises when you begged us for help meant nothing but wind to you? You knew we were isolated and helpless in this unfamiliar place, and the only person we could place our trust in was you. Yet, what did you do?! You abandoned us in the palace hall, watching on the sidelines as those people humiliated us in various ways. How dare you call yourself a man? No, how dare you consider yourself a person?!"
It was clear through his harsh tone that his anger wouldn't be easily appeased.
Albert, who had been beaten black and blue, was now sprawled motionless on the ground. Nevertheless, he struggled to explain, "I'm sorry, my mind was just a mess at that time."
Eugene sneered in disdain. "A mess? If I hadn't made arrangements earlier, we would have been locked up in the dungeon by Lucian in a heartbeat. Do you think you can explain your attitude away by
claiming that your head wasn't on straight? Dream on! Albert Bleu, you'd better stay far away from me. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you next time!"
Albert was strewn on the ground as he muttered regretfully, "I just couldn't make head or tails of the situation earlier. How could Olivia say it wasn't her in the video when she had the necklace in her hand? It's not that I didn't believe you guys! I was just confused. Lucian pounced on my hesitation and caused me to doubt my own opinions!"
Eugene merely replied, "We're not familiar with General Bleu. Plus, Olivia and your sister have only met once. How could they possibly believe us? This has nothing to do with your intellect! If anything, it's a matter of character. We treated you with utmost sincerity, but you're worse than a dog! No, if we treated a dog with such sincerity, the dog would definitely protect us in critical moments. So, what does that make you?! Worse than a dog, that's what!"
Olivia helplessly massaged her forehead. Her husband's words were truly venomous weapons in their own right as they completely shredded their target apart.
So, she walked forward and held his arm. "Alright, there's no need to be so mad. It's not worth it to get yourself so worked up!"
Albert raised his eyes and looked at Olivia dazedly. He felt like his heart had been shattered, spasming and contracting.
He didn't feel this way even when Eugene was beating him up and giving him such a severe dressing down.
Olivia's words didn't feel like an attack. Instead, they were nothing but gentle.
Unfortunately, her words only made him feel even more ashamed.
He still remembered that she had once said, "All my friends are people I trust 100%."
Then, she even tacked on, declaring, "Although it's a bit difficult to become my friend, once I recognize that special person as my friend, I'm willing to go through hell itself for them."
Those words were still fresh in his mind, so why didn't he believe her when she was wronged?
