Chapter 1428 Lost Friendship
Compared to the indecisive and opportunistic palace guards, the Imperial Guards of the
Governor General's residence were much more disciplined. This was shown when they all
responded in unison, "Yes, Sir."
Their voices were loud and earth-shattering.
Alice couldn't help but feel a bit envious of the unwavering loyalty they displayed. This
was yet another difference between her and her godmother.
Even though the palace guards were under her command, they were easily swayed and
went as far as to obey Lucian's orders after listening to him speak!
Perhaps she should also show some courage and establish some rules lest she be stabbed
in the back by one of these opportunists one day!
Hugh swept his gaze across the throne room. "The truth will be revealed soon enough!
However, let's not speculate recklessly until the matter is thoroughly investigated!"
Then, he turned his attention back to Eugene and Doctor Maxwell. "Mr. Nolan, Doctor
Maxwell, please follow me!"
This time, no one dared to make things difficult for them, and they left the palace
smoothly under the watchful gazes of the Imperial Guards under Doreen's command.
Albert's gaze followed them as they left, but his feet were frozen to the ground. He
couldn't even move a muscle. Frankly, he didn't know how to face them after this debacle.

He was the one who invited them to Eurosia, but he misunderstood them again and again
after falling prey to Lucian and Beatrix's instigations.
Eugene and Doctor Maxwell were probably very disappointed, weren't they?
No one knew how chaotic his mind was at that moment.
On one hand, he didn't want to believe that Doctor Maxwell was the thief who stole the
necklace five years ago. Yet, he couldn't explain why she had the necklace if she wasn't
the thief in the video.
Eventually, he started to think that Lucian's version made a lot of sense.
They lost the necklace five years ago, and Doctor Maxwell was the thief in the video. That
was why she had the necklace in her possession.
It was just as Lucian had said earlier—even if the stolen necklace was fake, she still did
the deed. That was why he hesitated when Eugene asked him that question.
It was during those few seconds of hesitation that he knew he had lost their friendship.
He deeply regretted it right at this moment. If he could have just said a word in their
defense, even if it were useless, it wouldn't have caused them to feel utterly disillusioned
by his attitude.
Once he thought of that, he hastily bid Alice to give him leave before chasing after them.
It didn't matter whether they would forgive him for his transgressions; he should still
apologize to them.
Meanwhile, Alice exuded a commanding presence as she sat on the throne. She glanced
coldly at everyone in the palace before suddenly speaking, "I really can't imagine such a
chaotic morning would happen in my palace of all places. Your behavior is not even
comparable to the aunties who haggle for prices in the wet markets! Is the video real or
fake? Is Doctor Maxwell truly the thief, or was she framed? Would someone like Doctor
Maxwell foolishly hide the stolen things in her bag and wait for you to find them? Are you
detaining her without proper investigation due to solid evidence, or only because you
want to cut off General Bleu's hope of recovery? Searching through my honored guest's
bag without permission yet justifying it with such a pitiful excuse… Is this the etiquette of
the royal family of Eurosia? Really? Right in my palace?"
Eugana and Doctor Maxwall wara probably vary disappointad, waran't thay?
No ona knaw how chaotic his mind was at that momant.
On ona hand, ha didn't want to baliava that Doctor Maxwall was tha thiaf who stola tha

was why sha had tha nacklaca in har possassion.
It was just as Lucian had said aarliar—avan if tha stolan nacklaca was faka, sha still did tha

Maanwhila, Alica axudad a commanding prasanca as sha sat on tha throna. Sha glancad
coldly at avaryona in tha palaca bafora suddanly spaaking, "I raally can't imagina such a
chaotic morning would happan in my palaca of all placas. Your bahavior is not avan

without parmission yat justifying it with such a pitiful axcusa… Is this tha atiquatta of tha
royal family of Eurosia? Raally? Right in my palaca?"
Lucian defended himself by saying, "You're only finding fault with my actions because
you're biased toward Doctor Maxwell. I don't think there's anything else to investigate in
the face of such solid evidence. However, I'm worried that Doctor Maxwell will do
something untoward against General Bleu now that she has successfully evaded capture
again. I'm afraid General Bleu..."
He shook his head, looking helpless and disappointed.
With a barely concealed sneer, Alice said, "General Bleu is my godmother. No one wants
her to be well more than I do. Father, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore.
Instead, I suggest that you think about how you will explain yourself regarding your
shameless display once the truth is revealed!"
