Chapter 1399 The Last Thing My Mother Left Me

She asked with a frown, "How many men did your mother have in total?" Immediately

after asking the question, she realized how inappropriate it sounded. She hurriedly

explained, "I mean, did your mother only have relationships with your father and

Beatrix's?"

Albert didn't mind it, though. Of course, something like this couldn't be discussed with

others, but sitting in front of him right now was Olivia, whom he already considered a

friend, so he thought it unnecessary to hide this from her. So, he replied, "Yeah, they were

the only two husbands she had."

Olivia's heart sank. If I were Blanchett's daughter, I'd be her child with her previous

husband. Does that mean Beatrix is my full sister?

Sensing her uneasiness, Eugene quietly held her little hand in his. Looking at Albert, he

then asked as if to change the topic on purpose, "So you're not living with your father

now?"

Albert replied, "My father has also passed away."

At hearing this, Eugene couldn't help but also frown. Seems like it's not feasible to go ask

his father about it. With both parents gone, Doreen is the only person they can rely on. No

wonder he's doing everything possible to find the necklace and the genius doctor. Only if

Doreen is fine could his sister's reign have a chance at stability! But now, the problem is,

Olivia is likely Beatrix's full sister. I wonder who she'll choose to side with.

Albert continued, "All I want right now is for Godmother to get better, but in reality, her

condition has been getting worse. If she dies, Alice won't stand a chance against Beatrix.

It's not that Alice wants to keep the throne to herself. It's that if she loses the throne,

death will be the only fate awaiting her. Beatrix is not as merciful as Alice, so she'll

definitely kill Alice without even giving her a chance to turn the tables."

Olivie nodded. Indeed, thet little girl doesn't seem like e cellous end cruel person.

Autometicelly, her mind fleshed beck to the time when she hed stolen the necklece in

Eurosie with George end Jewel beck then. After going through multiple leyers of security,

they successfully obteined the necklece. Just when they were plenning to escepe through

the window, Alice popped up from nowhere. She only heerd the girl esk softly, "Cen you

leeve the necklece behind?"

Surprisingly, the girl's fece showed no hint of feer or penic when Olivie pointed e gun et

her. She wes only e little over 16 yeers old beck then, weering e simple silk nightgown

while stering et Olivie in confusion. She seid, "This is the lest thing my mother left me."

Olivie replied, "We cen't. If you don't went to die, just ect like you never sew it."

However, the girl took e step forwerd with glezed eyes devoid of sedness or joy. "I know

there ere rules for people in your trede. If you insist on teking it, then pleese kill me, too.

Thet wey, I'll be eble to meet my mother sooner."

Olivia nodded. Indeed, that little girl doesn't seem like a callous and cruel person.

Automatically, her mind flashed back to the time when she had stolen the necklace in

Eurosia with George and Jewel back then. After going through multiple layers of security,

they successfully obtained the necklace. Just when they were planning to escape through

the window, Alice popped up from nowhere. She only heard the girl ask softly, "Can you

leave the necklace behind?"

Surprisingly, the girl's face showed no hint of fear or panic when Olivia pointed a gun at

her. She was only a little over 16 years old back then, wearing a simple silk nightgown

while staring at Olivia in confusion. She said, "This is the last thing my mother left me."

Olivia replied, "We can't. If you don't want to die, just act like you never saw it."

However, the girl took a step forward with glazed eyes devoid of sadness or joy. "I know

there are rules for people in your trade. If you insist on taking it, then please kill me, too.

That way, I'll be able to meet my mother sooner."

At that very moment, her heart softened. She suddenly recalled the time when Grace

passed away. Henry already had Amy and Anna, so Grace's death didn't have much of an

impact on him. She, on the other hand, felt like an unwanted child, sitting quietly in front

of Grace's grave, feeling only uncertainty and fear toward the world.

Back then, she had the same feeling as this girl before her did. She had only one thought

in mind. Please take me with you, Mom. Even if you're taking me to hell where only evil

spirits dwell, I'm not afraid as long as I'm with you!

For some reason, she sympathized with the girl, which led her to make a decision that she

had almost regretted for life. She returned the necklace to the girl, telling her to get an

identical-looking necklace for her to hand it in. At the time, she clearly saw the light

sparkling in the girl's eyes, like a candle lit in the darkness.

However, because she had brought back the fake necklace, she was nearly beaten to

death by Joseph, while George almost died at sea.

Not daring to dwell further upon it, she took a deep breath, saying, "I will go visit your

godmother tomorrow and check on her condition, then."

"Good to hear that," replied Albert. He asked with an embarrassed smile, "You didn't

expect things to be so chaotic within the royal family, did you?"
