Chapter 1137 Albert’s Motives

Christoff glared at Olivia and took a seat opposite her. "I have a feeling that the man is an

important figure in Eurosia, which explains the guns they have."

"I understand."

"I was told that the Queen of Eurosia must own the necklace, which is an heirloom, to

ensure her position. Do you think they're looking for the same necklace?"

Olivia panicked at his words, and she immediately denied the claim, "That's impossible!

The current Queen's reign hasn't ended. Why would they look for the necklace at this

point?"

Her denial convinced him, so he agreed with her, "You're right. However, they're making

quite a fuss over it if they're searching for a normal necklace."

I can't let him dwell on this matter!

Olivia tried to change the topic. "Enough about this talk. Stop worrying. It's their national

affair. Don't tell me you covet the Queen's throne."

He sneered at her joke. "No thanks. And I would like to stay as a male for now."

Meanwhile, Albert got in the car.

River could no longer contain his confusion. "Sir, why did you tell her the truth? The Queen

asked us to make a secret investigation."

Albert explained, "I have a feeling that the woman had the necklace, but she won't give it

to us if we don't show sincerity."

River exclaimed, "That's easy! We know her father! We can kidnap him and force her to

give us the necklace."

Albert watched River with a stern look. "Your hot temper won't do you good in this mission,

you know? I wish everything could be resolved that easily."

River prompted, "Are you worrying about something?"

Hugh in the back seat chimed in, "He should be. What if she deceives us with a

counterfeit?"

Albert added, "She looks like she knows something, which explains the questions she

asked."

River asked, "What are we supposed to do now? Since she said it was lost, she probably

won't give it to us. We can't possibly sit around and wait for something to happen."

At that, his eyes shone in excitement. "We can steal it! Since you've found her lying about

the necklace, it means she still has it. We can ask somebody to rob her house. They can

find the necklace there."

Albert shot daggers at River. "Enough talk. I'm ashamed to hear you speak. Get the car

going."

River stuck out his tongue. "You and your principles... Then how are we supposed to

retrieve the necklace? It's been two months since we left Eurosia, and we've made no

progress so far."

Albert comforted him, "It can't be helped. For now, what matters the most is to gain her

favors."

"Sir, are you sure she has the necklace we want?"

Albert explained, "All I know is she didn't tell us the truth just now. There are two

possibilities for her lies. First, she didn't want anything to do with us, so she tried to turn

us away. However, she had many questions, which means she wanted to learn more about

our background. Thus, it leads to the last possibility, which is that she lied due to a lack of

trust in us or she's holding back her opinion before she learns our motives."

"Maybe she's just curious?"

"But she immediately thought about Eurosia when she learned my surname. It's not a

coincidence. She's testing us. She's either a knowledgeable woman or familiar with

Eurosia."

River hesitated. "So, we're going to waste our time and energy on her? Are you sure it's

worth it?"

Albert soothed him, "In the meantime, you'll carry on the secret investigation. We're

taking a two-track approach."

River studied Albert's expression from the rear-view mirror. "Sir, are you sure it's not

because she's a pretty woman, and you fell in love with her at first sight?"

Albert denied the claim. "That's ridiculous. However, having a friend as beautiful as her is

not bad."

...

At night, Eugene brought the children home and found Olivia in the living room. He smiled

at her. "You're early."

She hummed a response and explained, "I need North's help to look up a man."

Her statement took him aback. "Who is it?"

"Here." At that, she took out the business card from her purse and showed it to him.

He glanced at the card before asking, "Albert Bleu? Who is this guy?"

Seeing no point in hiding the truth from him, she told him what happened this afternoon.
