Albert sneered. “You’re like a frog in the well! I can’t be bothered to waste my time with you. You better keep quiet, or else you can just go back to where you came from. After saying that, he walked out of the door.
River caught up as he was unwilling to give in. “I’m not leaving. I want to search with you. You think the thing is in her hands, but she keeps saying she doesn’t have it. What can we do? I think maybe she really doesn’t have it.”
Albert said, “If she really doesn’t have it, we won’t even have this meeting “Why didn’t she take it out then?”
“You know how important the thing is. Do you think she doesn’t know? She’s being cautious precisely because she knows the importance of this thing.”
River strained his brain and asked doubtingly, “Sir, what do you mean?” Albert replied, “She’s waiting for our sincerity.”
“Didn’t we show enough of our sincerity? We followed her from Criecia to Mastar.” “But we never mentioned why we wanted the necklace from the beginning!”
“Can’t we just give an excuse?”
Albert responded, “You can’t even say it, so why should you expect her to give it to us casually? I think she probably knows that the necklace in her hands is the one we’re looking for.”
River suddenly became anxious. “Then… what should we do now?”
“You’ve made her angry and driven her away. You’re asking me what to do now? I originally planned to be completely honest with her today. but with you causing a scene like this, it’s impossible for me to ask her out again next time.”
River nervously swallowed his saliva. “I-I’ll go and apologize to her then.” Then, he hurriedly tried to leave. Albert said, “You can go if you’re not afraid of getting your legs broken.”
River stopped in his tracks, turned back, and looked at Albert blankly. “Sir-” Albert continued, “Wait a couple of days. She’s still angry today. Going now would be pointless!” On the other side, Olivia walked back to the clinic.
As soon as she entered the clinic, George saw her and greeted her. “Why do you look so upset? What happened?” She said, “It’s nothing. You can just have him kicked out the next time he comes!”
He frowned. “Did things not go well?” Olivia didn’t want to say anything. In fact, she still had a good impression of Albert. However, she didn’t want to help him come up with any excuses now. After all, they were in it together. They were birds of a feather!
She didn’t want to get involved in this matter from the beginning. It was their endless entanglement that kept bothering her!
They were asking for help without even showing a proper attitude! They expected her to risk her life to help them. as if she should eagerly rush to her demise. It was truly ridiculous.
“All right. It’s even better that things didn’t go well. That way, they won’t continue to bother you in the future. Go back and check on your child. If he comes again, I’ll handle it for you.”
Olivia nodded and went straight to the backyard of the clinic. As soon as she entered, she smelled a pungent fragrance. She was sensitive to smells, and this scent…
She sniffed hard and realized it smelled like the hair dye used in hair salons. She followed the scent and traced it to Hector’s room.
When she saw him holding two bottles of hair dye and staring blankly at them, she couldn’t help but chuckle. Was he planning to dye his hair?
She walked over quietly and saw that it was black hair dye, after which she chuckled softly. “Are you tired of your white hair?”
Her sudden voice startled Hector. “Oh, my goodness! You scared me. How can you walk without making any sound?”
