Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1408 The Unreasonable Princess

Although Beatrix only mentioned nothing more than River's name, it was clear from her tone that she was angry. Meanwhile, River had no choice but to give in even though he didn't want to cooperate. After all, he was in no position to defy Beatrix's authority and power, thinking it would put him in huge trouble should he do something against his better judgment. Therefore, he reluctantly walked up to the princess and asked with a rigid smile. "Yes, Your Highness."

"Would you mind giving them a proper introduction about me?" Beatrix jutted her chin insolently and demanded.

River looked at Olivia with a bitter smile and awkwardly introduced her to Beatrix. "This is Beatrix Bleu, the princess of Eurosia."

"Your Highness." Olivia raised her eyebrows and calmly greeted Beatrix.

On the other hand, Beatrix only frowned in response. Although Olivia didn't react as formally and humbly as she thought, she was gleeful that they didn't leave her in embarrassment with their unresponsiveness. "So, you are the genius doctor who is supposed to treat General Bleu, aren't you?"

"That's not how I would call myself. I'm just an ordinary doctor doing all I can to help people." Olivia downplayed her fame.

Beatrix grunted and replied, "Not bad. Your humility is going to save you from a lot of embarrassment." She then suddenly changed the subject and stepped up her approach. "How well do you know about your job then?"

"Well… Why don't you wait and see to find out, Your Highness?" Oliva reacted with a smile.

Upon hearing Olivia's indifferent response, Beatrix became mad, her face turning gloomy. "What's this supposed to mean? Do you seriously think I'm convinced to let you try with what you just said?" She challenged Olivia with a darkened expression on her face.

"Well, I understand that you're the great princess with absolute power and authority, but we were invited here by Mr. Bleu to treat General Bleu. So, why don't you talk to him about that before deciding whether I should be given a chance to show you what I can do? I'll be waiting for your answer. Just tell me yes or no." Olivia smiled.

Beatrix curled her lips, forming a glacial smile on her face. "Is this a threat? Do you really think Mr. Bleu has your back?"

"I wouldn't say that, but we're still his guests after all. He invited us here, so don't you think it'd be more appropriate for him to be the one telling us to leave should that be necessary, Your Highness?" Olivia responded with a witty reply.

Meanwhile, Eugene appeared to be a little moody. Although there were people holding umbrellas for them in the hot sun, the sweltering afternoon was hardly bearable for them. Then, when he noticed the sweat covering Olivia's forehead, it only served to add to his frustration. "Let's head inside and talk, River." He finally broke his silence and spoke.

"Sure, Mr. Nolan, please come in." River gave an affirmative reply.

As Eugene and Olivia walked away without even looking at Beatrix, the princess became annoyed and

irritable. "Stop right there!" Her ego wouldn't allow her to tolerate such humiliation. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Olivia stopped in her tracks and turned around, smiling at Beatrix. "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"

"I'm the princess who should be treated with proper care and privilege. Who dares to walk away as I stand here?!" Beatrix tried to assert her dominance.

Before Olivia could say anything, Eugene coldly answered, "Be my guest if you like to stand in the hot sun all you want. The only person I know that I should treat with proper care and privilege is my wife." As soon as he finished his words, he wrapped his arm around Olivia's shoulders and entered Albert's residence.

Stunned and speechless, Beatrix couldn't believe that Eugene was a married man. More importantly, she was shocked by the fact that Eugene's wife was the very woman whom she despised and disrespected—Olivia. So, this woman is his wife?! And this man is her lover?! No way! She doesn't deserve a man like him! At the same time, Olivia couldn't accept Eugene's impoliteness because no one had ever spoken to her like that before. I can't believe he actually talked to me like that. I'm a princess who should be treated with privilege and priority, but that woman is just a normal doctor! Who is she to be treated that way?!

"I said stop!" Beatrix angrily chased after them, completely forgetting about her status as the princess. "Do you know what's going to happen for offending the great princess?"

Eugene's eyes suddenly turned cold, but as he was about to speak, he felt his arm seized by the person beside him.

Soon, Olivia took a step forward with a graceful smile on her face. "Your Highness, I believe you're a woman with a kind and forgiving nature within you. Aren't I right? Furthermore, I do not think we just upset or offended you in any way, but if we ever did, we'd still like to beg for your forgiveness. Look, we've been out since morning, and it's been a long day for us. After all, we're just ordinary civilians who haven't had a lot of chances to explore the outside world. Besides, I didn't think you came all the way here just to meet a nobody like us. If you're looking for Mr. Bleu, I think he is probably still busy. So, why don't you ask River when he'll be back? Anyway, we should get going right now, and we'll leave you to it, Your Highness. Excuse me."
