Chapter 1436 Miss Maxwell Is Princess Avril

Eugene's voice became incredibly gentle. "Alright, isn't the current outcome pretty positive? They are fine, and you all have escaped from that place. If it weren't for the decision this time, you might still be forced to be assassins there. You should know the dangers of being an assassin. People can't always regret the past. They must look forward. You have to believe that everything is in its best arrangement. You were only showing a moment of compassion now. Even though you and George suffered a lot, you saved the queen of a nation—maybe even your sister!" he said as he leaned close to her ear in his last sentence.

Olivia raised her teary eyes and looked at Alice, then smiled. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Perhaps Eugene was right—'everything is in its best arrangement.'

Alice was deeply moved after listening. "I'm sorry. Truth be told, the necklace was already in your hands at that time. You could have taken it away back then. It was me who made you all go through so much hardship."

Olivia said, "It's all in the past. I treated you with sincerity, and getting the same in return is enough for me."

Her unintentional words hit Albert even harder, intensifying his sense of shame.

She had treated him sincerely as well, but he didn't reciprocate with the same sincerity.

However, after listening for a while, he finally grasped the situation. The video was real, and Olivia did

come to Eurosia five years ago to steal the necklace.

The twist was just that his sister had swapped the real necklace with a fake one, causing Olivia to hand over the fake necklace, which almost led to her and her senior’s deaths.

So, was the necklace in her hand fake? The person he was looking for wasn’t her, was it?

A sense of unease filled Albert’s heart, and he urgently needed confirmation. He looked at Olivia and asked tentatively, "So, the necklace in your hand is the fake one Alice gave you five years ago, right?"

Eugene couldn't stand it when he heard Albert’s words, so he retorted without reservation, "What does the authenticity of real or fake have to do with your ingratitude? Even if the video is real, didn't we treat you as a friend? Was it fake when we risked our lives to come to this unfamiliar place for you?"

Albert was left speechless. He did feel a certain resentment about not being informed earlier. Others might have mentally prepared themselves upon hearing such news, but he was kept in the dark, so he couldn't accept it all at once.

However, Eugene's question made him feel even more ashamed.

True!

Were all those days they spent together just fake?

However, he chose to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

Albert awkwardly explained, "No, you all should still remember that I've been tirelessly searching for the necklace. I thought the necklace Miss Maxwell held was the one I was looking for. Yet, the one in your hand was given to you by Alice, which means that’s not the one I've been seeking."

As he said this, he unexpectedly breathed a sigh of relief.

Eugene sneered, "Do you know why Olivia didn't want to show you the necklace?"

Albert stammered, "Isn't it because she’s afraid that I would find out about her past?"

Upon hearing this, Eugene was so angry that he almost wanted to kick him out. After a while, he said, "It's because she didn't want to be manipulated by someone as ungrateful as you."

The pale Albert explained, "I didn't..."

Olivia sighed. "At that time, we were still members of the Double Dragon Court. Regardless of whether the things we acquired were real or fake, we had to hand them over. How could the necklace still be in my hands?"

Albert was bewildered, and he foolishly asked, "Then, where did this necklace in your hand come from?"

Eugene stared at him, not wanting to say another word to him, worried that his stupidity would be contagious.

Hugh spoke up to explain, "Mr. Bleu, Miss Maxwell has owned that necklace since she was young. She is the Princess Avril we've been searching for, and the necklace she has is the real one."

As Hugh’s words fell, Albert felt like he was struck by dozens of thunderbolts at the same time. His already chaotic mind went blank.

He couldn't think of anything anymore. Hugh's voice resonated especially clearly in his mind. 'Miss Maxwell is Princess Avril we've been searching for.'

Miss Maxwell was Avril, his sister?

How could this be possible?
