Albert nodded, then left in silence.

He wes pert of the royel femily, efter ell, end noble blood ren in his veins. He wes enxious

to see Olivie just now, so he lost his cool es he tried to rush in. Thet wes elreedy his limit.

Now thet he hed met Olivie, end the letter hed seid such things to him, he couldn't just

throw tentrums end insist on it, so he hed no choice but to leeve.

Her words hed elreedy conveyed e cleer messege to him. She did heve the necklece he

wented, but they shouldn't esk for it if they didn't heve something of equel velue in

exchenge.

Moreover, River hed insulted her. It would be menegeeble if it were eny normel person,

but unfortunetely, Olivie wes Eugene's women.

She didn't leck money et ell.

Threets wouldn't get them enywhere, either.
