Christoff snorted. “Aren’t you thinking too highly of him? Do you think he could see through my disguise?”
“Your disguise isn’t perfect, just so you know,” Olivia remarked. “It is. You can’t even recognize yourself.” “But the vibe is always the same.” She stared at him as she added, “Or else I wouldn’t have recognized you.”
I guess she has a point, he thought to himself begrudgingly. Seeing that he started to have some doubt, shecontinued, ‘You’re still on set, aren’t you? Go back and finish your work. That way, you can buy me more time.”
Christoff thought to himself again, Well, I suppose there are still many opportunities for us to spend time together in the future. If Eugene found out I was here, we’d be at war, and that’d take the fun out of everything. I want him to suffer a loss without him even knowing it, and by the time he realizes it, the face he puts on will be hilarious. I’m sure. “Fine, but you have to treat me to something once you return.”
In an attempt to chase him away as soon as possible, Olivia agreed to his request. It took her almost half an hour to finally get rid of him.
By the time the ladies arrived at the police station, it was already late. Eugene was already coming out of the police station. Just as Olivia was about to get out of the car and say hi, she saw a familiar feminine figure approach him- that figure belonged to Azalea.
She instinctively stopped opening the door. For some reason, Azalea bothered her. Jewel asked, “Who is she?”
“Princess Azalea.” “Oh. I guess I can see why she’s called the prettiest princess. She’s indeed gorgeous.”
Olivia took a deep breath. Jewel was exasperated at herself when she finally registered what she had just said. What the hell am I talking about? Thus, she quickly changed the subject. “Why is she here?”
“She likes Eugene,” Olivia commented quietly. That came as a surprise to Jewel. “She does? In that case, why are you still here?” Olivia looked at Eugene and Azalea coolly. “I’d like to see what he would do to that woman.”
Jewel looked at them as well. Azalea was talking to Eugene like a sad puppy, and she felt sorry for the princess. Will Eugene fall for her? If he does, he’s not my brother anymore.
Meanwhile, Eugene was feeling somewhat irritated at Azalea’s sudden appearance. Even though she looked pitiful, he felt no sympathy for her. Instead, he gave her an ice-cold stare. “You got the wrong person. Your brother’s the one who locked your father up. You should be seeing Hayes, not me.”
She explained in a hurry, “I did, but he wouldn’t see me, so I came looking for you. He’ll only listen to you, Eugene. So, would you please save my father? He’s all I have.”
She tried to grab his hand, but he evaded her. Coolly, he said, “Why should I help you? He had trapped me for three days and even tried to force me to marry you.”
Tears started to stream down Azalea’s cheeks. “I know you don’t like me. Not a day had gone by in the last six years where I didn’t miss you, but you still didn’t care about me. And my father knew all about it. He knew I was suffering from longing, so he tried to match us up. Yes, he did hurt you, but he only did that because he loves me. Please, you have to help him. I have no one else to turn to.”
Eugene took a deep breath before finally responding, “Fine. I’ll tell Hayes I’m letting this slide, but what he does after that isn’t my business.”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, a smile grew on her tear-stained face. “Thank you, Eugene. I’m sure Hayes will do whatever you tell him to do.”
