Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1456

Chapter 1456 She Came To Save Me

While Lucian was unfazed, Beatrix was visibly shaken. She looked anxiously at Lucian. How did Alice suddenly become so formidable? She even knew about our attempt to hire assassins from Dragon's Breath a few months ago! NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Lucian also had yet to anticipate that Alice would bring up this matter, which had ultimately failed. The assassins hadn't even managed to enter the first level of Eurosia; they were discovered immediately. He thought this incident was insignificant, so how did she find out?

Before he could fully process it, Alice turned everyone once again. "I'm sure you're all rather confused about Olivia's identity now. Olivia, indeed, was an assassin back then, but that was only because she had no other choice and ended up with the Double Dragon Court. She is also my mother's firstborn, Avril, the Crown Princess of Eurosia, and my sister by birth. Here's the proof of our blood relation; you can take a look."

She handed the identification report to those around her, who passed it to the Consuls one by one.

After reviewing the report, the Consuls expressed their astonishment.

"Olivia is really the Queen's sister?!"

"Tell me about it! This dramatic twist happened so suddenly!"

"Yes, this plot twist is too fast, isn't it?"

"The Crown Princess of Eurosia turned into an assassin to steal Eurosia's necklace? This is beyond bizarre!"

Beatrix also wanted to take a look, but the guards surrounded her and prevented her from leaving. She anxiously shouted, "Let me see."

Alas, no one paid her any attention, and it wasn't until everyone had finished reading that they handed the report to Beatrix.

Beatrix snatched it away, looking incredulous as she read the report from top to bottom. When she saw the identification result, she finally let her arm fall limply to her side and murmured in disbelief, "It can't be. How is this possible? Olivia is actually a princess."

Lucian picked up the report and glanced through it once before angrily throwing it away. He scoffed, "Creating a fake identification report and spinning a story. Do you think you can cover up this matter? Even if you grant her the title of a princess, it won't erase the fact that she stole the necklace. You should know that if the Crown Princess of Eurosia is found guilty of stealing Eurosia's necklace, her crime will be even more severe."

Alice stared at him. "If theft is a crime, then hiring them makes you even more culpable. Let's not forget that Olivia, even before we found out that she was Princess Avril, had already balanced her actions through her contributions to Eurosia. She not only saved General Bleu but also saved me. That night, five years ago, when Olivia and her team came out of the study and noticed me, my mother's death deeply saddened me, and Eurosia was in turmoil with Beatrix scheming. I had never harbored any ambitions and only wanted to end my life. I sent away all my servants and was about to jump from the balcony when they stopped me.

"I demanded they return the necklace to me, or else they shouldn't care about whether I lived or died. Olivia said they had to follow orders, and failing their mission meant death for them. I asked them to kill me first, but it seemed that they were reluctant. Either way, in the end, she asked me to find a replacement to fulfill the mission. We stayed in the room for over an hour, and she tried to comfort me. She said she understood my feelings as she had also recently lost her mother and believed my mother would want her child to live a good life. Under her reassurance, I abandoned the idea of suicide, so she didn't come to steal the necklace; she came to save me, and I willingly gave her the fake necklace."

The narrative was Alice's own invention. Although she hadn't been on the brink of suicide when she met Olivia, she had genuinely considered it. That was why she dismissed her servants and expressed her desperation, saying they should kill her if they didn't return the necklace.

At that time, she thought a skilled assassin would end her life swiftly and painlessly.

That way… That way, she could quickly reunite with her mother. Perhaps they could sense her despair, so they really talked to her in the room for over an hour.

In hindsight, it seemed that everything was fated to happen.
