“That’s a good idea. I’ll arrange more people for that. I promise that they will serve you as comfortably as you wish!” “Does that include you?”
Olivia laughed. “Of course. I’ll prescribe medicine for you and complement their efforts.” Christoff snorted. “You are only brave enough for that.”
She didn’t want to talk about that topic anymore and changed the subject. “Do you know why Eugene targeted you?”
He didn’t realize that he was a hostage and replied meaningfully, “Why else? He’s petty and jealous. He doesn’t trust you enough or the fact that our relationship is platonic. However, he cared too much to do anything to you and chose me instead.”
She hugged herself and stared at him coldly. “You and Azalea worked together and threatened the driver’s family in order to force him into pretending that he molested her. Your purpose is to make Eugene stay in Nambahd. Was I wrong?”
He craned his neck. “Yes, I wanted to separate you both so I can be alone with you for a while. What’s wrong with that?”
She was so angry that she hit his head. “You’re pretty confident in making such grand claims, huh? You aren’t even being defensive at all.”
He glared at her. “I just wanted to help you test whether your so-called boyfriend is worthy of your dedication. Wasn’t I working for your benefit?”
She was furious. “Benefit my *ss! It’s a human life that isn’t valuable as far as you are concerned, is it?”
“Who died?”
“The driver.”
“How is that my fault? I didn’t kill him!” His unbothered expression drove her mad and she grabbed his collar with one hand. “Do you think I don’t have proof? Even if you didn’t kill him, it’s definitely connected to you. He died because of you! Don’t you feel any guilt?”
“I contributed the money, so he contributed his effort. It isn’t something irredeemable; I merely borrowed his identity and did not even do anything to Azalea. You can’t just blame me for it!”
She was frustrated. “He was jailed for the crime of molesting a princess of Nambahd because of your plans. That was why he committed suicide.”
Christoff argued, “That’s on Azalea. She could have let him go without further investigation, so she was the one that caused his suicide.”
Olivia retorted, “You are to blame too!” He acquiesced. “Fine, I’m to blame as well. Your reason for taking revenge is pretty strange. I didn’t even cause his death; even if it was, how is that your business? Why do you have to take revenge on me?”
She was overcome by rage. So, this was the leader of Samuel Court. He was cruel and brutal and lives meant nothing to them.
“I can’t stand the fact that you can deny accountability every time. Even if the driver isn’t connected to me, you caused Eugene’s rope to break at the amusement park, right? You lent manpower to Azalea which nearly killed my son too. Can you say that it isn’t your fault?”
As she finished speaking, her hand shifted up to grip his neck. It was forceful enough that it nearly robbed him of his breathing which took some getting used to. He suddenly wanted to lose his temper but didn’t do anything after recalling that Olivia was the one choking him and wondered if there was another woman who would dare choke him like this.
It’s been a long time since Christoff had taken such punishment. Olivia was such a violent woman; did she intend to kill him by exerting that much strength? He forced out a word. “No.”
She wasn’t really planning on killing him though. Although the details of the event at the amusement park weren’t clear yet, she knew that Christoff definitely did not do anything to her sons. He might have sent his people, but he would never let his subordinates target her or her children even if they were just her godsons.
She might have known that, but she was still angry since he did make Eugene go to Nambahd. He also must have caused the misunderstanding between her and Eugene too.
