Chapter 1264 She Has a Boyfriend

Eugene instinctively pulled Olivia into an embrace as he glared at Albert with eyes that

sent shivers down the man's spine. Even so, he was extremely courteous when he said,

"Don't worry, Mr. Bleu. Neither Olivia nor I are ungrateful individuals. I'll remember what

you've done for us tonight. Let us know if there's anything you need in the future. For now,

we should be heading home." He then led her away, not giving her a single chance to

object.

Nonetheless, she glanced at his angry expression before turning around to say to Albert,

"We'll be leaving now, Mr. Bleu. You should drop by the clinic tomorrow to get your wounds

treated."

Albert smiled and nodded. "Okay."

On the other hand, Alex and Jewel politely bid Albert farewell before leaving.

In just a few minutes, the only people left in the room were Albert and River.

Meanwhile, Albert silently smiled as he watched the two couples walk away.

However, River frowned and asked, "Why do I feel like Eugene was upset?"

Albert's smile did not falter as he replied, "That is only because we saved Olivia.

Otherwise, he might be worse than upset with us."

Still, River did not understand what he meant and asked again, "What do you mean?"

Albert shot him a disdainful look and scolded, "That's because I just said I wanted to

befriend his girlfriend right in front of him."

"What about it? You're not looking to be her boyfriend. Is there a need to be so upset?"

"The more capable someone is, the more possessive they are. Irrespective of our motives,

he would not want us to befriend his darling girlfriend," Albert stated.

After hearing this, River thoughtfully nodded. "True. It's also worse because we want her

necklace." Suddenly, a flashback to the earlier events at the dinner table flooded his mind.

"Sir, why didn't you ask Olivia to give you the necklace today?"

Albert sighed and answered, "I don't want her to think I'm that dishonorable, that I am

someone who will instantly demand compensation right after doing her a favor."

Still befuddled, River decided to ask, "Is that not our goal? Why should we risk being

discovered just to become her friend's alibi? Why did we risk our lives to save them? It's

not too much to ask for some compensation after so much we have done for her, right?"

"True, but that would mean losing her as a friend. I find her rather genuine and honorable.

She believes in the people she befriends and sticks by them. It's rare to find a friend like

that."

The more River heard, the harder he frowned. "You don't like her, do you?"

Suddenly, Albert shot him a look and exclaimed, "She has a boyfriend!"

"He's just a boyfriend. They're not married yet!" River commented.

Then, Albert shot him another look and said, "Her boyfriend is Eugene Nolan."

In the end, River was rendered speechless by that.

...

It was well past midnight when Eugene, Olivia, and the others finally returned home. They

dared not make a sound, planning to stealthily return to their rooms.

To their surprise, the living room light was turned on, and George was sitting on the couch.

As soon as he saw their injured bodies, he leaped to his feet in a panicked dash. "What

happened? Didn't you say it was just dinner?"

"A little something happened. Let's talk in my room. We must not let Mrs. Nolan and the

children know," Olivia replied.

However, he did not press for further clarification and followed them back to her room.

Since Blake's condition had stabilized, the children had been sleeping in the same room.

Consequently, they could form a bond while ensuring that Blake maintained a positive

attitude, which benefited his recovery.

Meanwhile, there were only five of them in the room.

Olivia did not hold back any information from George and shared everything with him.

When he heard that, he could feel his heart racing with concern. "What about Blood

Rose?"

"She escaped, but we have no idea where she went," she replied.

George then narrowed his eyes as a murderous glint flashed in them. "I'll head to the

Double Dragon Court tomorrow."
