Olivia sneered. “Refuge? You’re too humble. You can summon killers and soldiers at your will, so why would you need refuge? We’re nice enough to give you a choice, so don’t get ahead of yourself!”
With that, she turned around and said to Eugene on purpose, “I think you should just hand her over to the police. She deserves a few years in jail just for hiring killers to assassinate Carter and the others!”
Azalea was shocked as she looked worriedly at Eugene. If Olivia suggested that, the cold man would do as she said. Azalea didn’t want to go to jail; she was the princess of Nambahd, so it would be an utter disgrace. She hastily explained, “No! It wasn’t me! Those were Christoff’s men; what does that have to do with me?”
Olivia’s expression was cold. “They were Christoff’s men but did Christoff also tell them to assassinate three children? Are you still arguing when things have come to this point?” Azalea said, “No, I never wanted to assassinate them. I just wanted to teach them a lesson.”
Olivia retorted, “What right do you have to teach my sons a lesson? What did they do to you? Hiring killers to teach some children a lesson? Ridiculous! You should explain that to the police and hope they’d buy that!”
Seeing Eugene’s unaffected expression, Azalea was even more terrified now. She stepped forward and flung herself toward Eugene, explaining anxiously, “I swear, it has nothing to do with me. A-Actually, all that was Christoff’s idea. On the second day of my birthday banquet, Christoff talked to me and said that we could work together. We’re working for our respective goals, and he told me to deal with the cab that way!”
Eugene didn’t even flinch. “Did Christoff also teach you to harm the children and Olivia?”
Azalea quickly said, “Yes!” Olivia’s face darkened in an instant. “If you say that Christoff was behind the cab incident, I might believe you, but Christoff wasn’t around during the incidents that happened afterward, so how could he have told you to do any of that?”
Moreover, Olivia was being targeted, so that was impossible! Even though they hadn’t known each other for long, just the fact that she saved him was enough for Christoff to avoid harming her. If she had to choose between Azalea and Christoff, she would naturally go for Christoff.
Of course, she couldn’t tell Eugene that. Eugene nodded, agreeing. “Yes, he should be swamped back then, so he wouldn’t be able to deal with this side of things.”
Most importantly…
Eugene glanced at Olivia. Olivia had saved Christoff before, so Christoff probably wouldn’t want to kill Olivia. Hence, Azalea was lying.
Marvin glanced around. He felt that there was something he should report to Eugene, so he took a step forward and said, “Eugene, even though I haven’t found out the exact truth behind the rope breaking at the amusement park, I’ve found some clues. On the surface, it looked like the culprit was out of money, so he cut the rope on purpose to create an illusion that his girlfriend died in the bungee jump, and he would then claim insurance money. However, from my recent investigations, I found that the culprit had contacted one of the higher- ups of Samuel Court before, so I’m wondering if Samuel Court was involved in this as well.”
Eugene frowned. “Samuel Court wouldn’t target me in such a pathetic way, would they?” Olivia thought for a bit and said, “Perhaps he wasn’t trying to harm you, but he just wanted you to stay in Nambahd. Didn’t you say that you were detained by the police as soon as you arrived in Nambahd, and Sirius went right after that?”
When Eugene heard that, he thought Olivia had a point. “Christoff might be working with Sirius for their respective goals. Christoff wanted to separate us and cause a misunderstanding. Sirius, on the other hand, simply wanted to win me over with Azalea. Looks like our hunches are spot on. Our misunderstandings were all caused by Christoff behind the scenes!”
