Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409 Nowhere Near as Brilliant as You Are

Upon finishing his words, Eugene turned around and made his way into Albert's residence without even looking back. At the same time, River was impressed by Olivia's quick wit, wishing he could give her a thumbs up openly. That was awesome, Miss Maxwell!

He then took another look at Beatrix's bitter look, feeling satisfied with her humiliation. Nonetheless, he was bound by formality and courtesy to tell the princess about Albert's status. "Your Highness, Mr. Bleu has gone to the palace and will only be back tonight. So, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

With a darkened look on her face, Beatrix, who couldn't stand being humiliated by Olivia, vented out her anger on River by landing a kick on him without hesitation. "Who do you think you are?!"

Fearing the consequences that might follow, River was too timid to dodge the kick as he braced for impact. Although it didn't hurt a lot, he felt insulted and embarrassed by the princess' outrageous behavior. After all, he had seen enough to know that Beatrix's attitude was despicable, having traveled with Albert to many countries where he had the opportunity to witness different cultures.

After successfully keeping his footing, River kept his head down and said, "I'm just a nobody, Your Highness. I'm absolutely not even worth your time lecturing, in fact. Furthermore, I reckon you must have some other important business to take care of, so please leave."

As soon as River finished his sentence, Beatrix grew even madder. She then took two steps closer to him and mocked him. "I didn't expect you to be so passive-aggressive after all these days you spent with Albert. It's my own decision to make whether I'm leaving or staying. Don't forget your place!"

She made her way into Albert's residence upon finishing her sentence.

River panicked, knowing Beatrix was on her way to stir up more trouble with Eugene and Olivia. Thus, he hurriedly caught up to her and gave her a suggestion. "Your Highness, Mr. Bleu is not in at the moment. Perhaps I could call him for you if you have something urgent to discuss with him."

Wanting to dissuade Beatrix from escalating the conflict, River was also hoping to warn her not to do anything silly.

Nevertheless, Beatrix turned around and gave him a cold glare, telling him off. "I know Albert is not in, but can't I wait for him inside? Now, be a good servant and stay out of my way!"

Although River tried to catch up to the princess in an attempt to prevent her from doing something silly, he failed to do so when Beatrix impatiently ordered her guards behind her to do something. "Stop him!"

As the guards stood in his way, River could only refrain from fighting back because he was too timid toward the princess' guards. Thus, he anxiously shouted to Beatrix. "Your Highness, Mr. Nolan and Miss Maxwell are not just invited by Mr. Bleu to treat General Bleu, but also his honored guests."

"Honored guests? I'd like to find that out myself and see how honored they are. Not everybody deserves to set foot in Albert's residence!" Look at River! He is nervous because of this, isn’t he? Beatrix grunted, wondering to herself in frustration. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

As she was talking to River, Beatrix made her way into Albert's Residence with airs and graces.

Meanwhile, Eugene was wiping the sweat off Olivia's forehead with a handkerchief, reassuring her that everything was going to be in their favor. "Don't worry, I don't think you both are biological sisters," he

said with a gloomy expression on his face.

Olivia poked Eugene's cheek and chuckled in amusement. "How can you tell?"

"She's dumb and is nowhere near as brilliant as you are. For that, I don't think she is your sister at all," Eugene replied. He then stuck out his arm and seized Olivia's hand, bringing it to his lips to kiss it. "Hurry up and get this over with. Once General Bleu is cured, we can both go home."

"I will," Olivia responded affirmatively. As soon as she finished her words, they began to hear the sound of high heels clacking on the ground. Needless to say, they were both attracted to the source of the sound as they saw Beatrix, the lady who tried to give them a hard time at the gate earlier.

Olivia exchanged gazes with Eugene, finally agreeing with him about what he said earlier. You're right, my dear. There is no way she can be my sister! She is so d*mn annoying! Why won't she leave us alone even though it's already clear that she is not welcome here?! Where is her sense of shame?!

In the meantime, Eugene was also annoyed by Beatrix's stubborn and pertinacious attitude. While the princess' unreasonableness was already getting under his skin, her actions only served to add to his dislike for her.

Upon seeing Beatrix's arrival, the servants and the butler in Albert's residence all came closer to her and greeted her politely, regardless of what they thought of her. After that, Beatrix jutted her chin arrogantly, as if she was trying to retaliate against Eugene and Olivia for pissing her off earlier.

Then, she looked around her and said casually, "Alright, you may be at ease now." See that? That's how a princess should be treated!

Nevertheless, neither Eugene nor Olivia said a single word, nor did they bother even to stand up.
