After Olivia made that remark, Jewel strolled over. Christoff looked at them with a bewildered expression and asked, ‘What? Don’t you want to know where Eugene is?” “I wonder if your men are capable of such things.” “Of course, I do. Say something flattering to convince me, and I’ll tell you.”
“Do you have a death wish?” “Do you converse with Eugene in this manner?” he inquired with his brow furrowed. With a poker face, Olivia stared at him. “You aren’t him, and he isn’t as irritating as you!”
“Is he that good?” “Better than you.” Then, Christoff arched his brows and stared at her with utter fascination. ‘Fine. I guess you won’t give up if I don’t show it to you. What do you know about Nambahd?’
When she saw his serious expression, she nodded and explained, “I’ve heard about King Hayes Namb’s ascension to the throne. His uncle, Sirius Namb, attempted to usurp the throne, and they engaged in a drawn-out battle before Hayes could successfully ascend to the throne.”
Christoff replied, “Yes, and can you guess where he is now?” Suddenly, Olivia’s heart sank as she asked, “What? He can’t possibly be at Nambahd Palace, can he?”
“He’s in Sirius’ City Palace,” he corrected her. “What is he doing there?”
“Do you know what he is doing there?”
“What?” Christoff turned his head to look at Olivia and smiled. ‘Have you heard of Azalea Namb, Sirius’ daughter?” “Yes, I have heard that she is stunning, but she isn’t married yet,’ she answered. Nevertheless, he kept dropping hints to her. “Then, do you know whom she is expecting?”
Her brow furrowed, and she had an inkling. when she noticed a grin on his face, but she insisted on asking, “Who?” “Eugene.” Olivia asserted firmly, “No way!” Christoff shrugged and inquired, “Do you dare to come with me?”
“Where to?” She continued to be skeptical of him. After getting to his feet, he responded, ‘Let’s go to City Palace, and I’ll show you.” Christoff’s words threw Olivia’s thoughts off, and she flatly refused, “No, because I don’t trust you.”
At that moment, Jewel moved closer, embraced Olivia, and started signing to her. ‘You must have faith in Eugene, who likes you so much! There is no way that he will ever get involved with Azalea.
He quietly observed them while his arms were folded. “Why would I deceive you? Anyway, you have overheard my phone conversation with my men earlier, they discovered that today is Azalea’s birthday banquet, and Sirius plans to marry her to Eugene. Your man may no longer be yours if you show up late.”
Then, Jewel gave him a stern look and warned him, “Enough with the nonsense. Eugene has come to investigate the matter involving the amusement park. Why would he attend the banquet celebrating her birthday at City Palace?”
Her warning caused his expression to falter. “It is entirely up to you whether or not to accept. that. Furthermore, I’m invited to Azalea’s birthday party. If you choose not to attend, I will.” Following that, he got up and walked out. As she watched him walk away, Olivia hurriedly called out, “Wait-”
Christoff halted in his tracks and around to face her. “I told you, if I wanted to hurt you two, I wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble.”
She expressed her regret after experiencing. some pangs of guilt. “I understand, and we’re just naturally suspicious of everyone. Is it true that you can enter the City Palace?”
“Eugene is not the only person with a support system. Anyone in our circle has a connection!” Christoff emphasized. “We’ll come with you!”
“I can’t bring two women.”
“Fine. I’ll come alone with you.” As soon as Jewel heard that, she pulled Olivia’s arm and asked, “Are you going to follow him without question? How well do you know him?”
