Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1451

Chapter 1451 Am I Great or What?

"Mr. Nolan, perhaps you didn't understand what I meant about the business. It's not just about a few companies or making some money. It's about the entire Eurosia. If you're willing, the entire Eurosia can be yours. Do you understand?" Beatrix's voice came through.

Immediately, Beatrix realized it was a recording of her words to Eugene at the Governor General's residence that day.

He… He recorded the conversation?!

Infuriated, she barked, "Eugene Nolan, you despicable prick! How could you record it?!"

Eugene lazily glanced at her. "You mean this? I have a habit of recording, but is it really fair to call me despicable just because of this habit? I didn't threaten you or approach you on my own, did I? You walked right into it yourself. Or are you denying it, Your Highness?"

His tone was casual and mocking, almost driving Beatrix mad. She charged toward Eugene, shouting as she went, "Eugene Nolan, you better turn it off this instance!"

However, Eugene didn't budge. Instead, Albert stepped forward and blocked her, warning, "Why should he turn it off? Is there something you don't want others to hear?"

Meanwhile, Alice ordered, "Guard the Crown Princess and ensure she doesn't disturb Eugene while he provides evidence."

"Alice, she's your sister!" Lucian snapped furiously, making Alice look at him provocatively before ordering the guards, "If anyone obstructs, treat them as accomplices."

The guards acted promptly, not arresting Lucian or Beatrix but forming an impenetrable barrier around them.

After that, Eugene gladly replayed the recording.

"I don't." Eugene's voice came through. "I'm not the queen, so how will Eurosia be mine?"

Beatrix explained, "Yes, you can't be the queen, but I can. Once we're together, what's mine will be yours too."

"But you're not the queen, too," Eugene argued, and Beatrix corrected him. "Sooner or later, I will be."

"Are you plotting to usurp the throne?" Eugene asked.

"Oh, come on, don't make it sound so ugly," Beatrix argued. "In this day and age, power belongs to those who can seize it. You saw it today in the palace; Alice couldn't even control her own guards. With this kind of strength, do you think her reign can remain stable?"

The conversation continued until Eugene made the final mocking remark. "You want to beat my wife with that intelligence of yours? Huh, on what grounds?"

With that, the recording ended.

Everyone was left speechless. At the time, Beatrix actually thought Eugene was weighing the pros and cons, and in her haste, she revealed her true intentions.

She admitted that Lucian hired someone to steal the Eurosia necklace, confessed to their ambitious desires for the queen's position, and acknowledged that they didn't want Olivia to cure Doreen's illness but rather framed her.

With such intelligence…This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Eugene hadn't been insulting her at all. Who did she think she was to break him and Olivia apart?!

Ashamed, Beatrix glared daggers at Eugene. "You're really ruthless, Nolan."

Eugene didn't say a word, remaining modest and unassuming. He sat down after the recording ended and leaned toward Olivia, seeking praise, "What do you think, sweetheart? Am I great or what?"

Olivia held his hand and smiled, her eyes twinkling. "You've always been great!"

If it weren't for his strategic planning, she might have already been thrown into prison by Lucian.

Eugene held her hand in return. "My wife is great too."

You two are something else. This was what everyone thought after being rendered speechless by the couple.
